Hey guy, I know it's been over a month since I've updated, but I've had things going on and where I do night shifts I'm literally tired all the time so I'm sleeping most of the time which sucks for you guys and my boyfriend, but work is work right, so I'm sorry the update is so late.
I did already have it written out, but I had to look over it and edit it a bit, so it took me a tad longer anyway.
I'm glad ya'll are liking this story and I appreciate all the love and support you guys are showing me. It means a lot.
Anyway here is the next chapter... ENJOY!
Graduation is the day where we finally say goodbye to high school and I was looking forward to it. The past years that's I've been at this place have been hell. Lucas had made them hell, but I've decided that from last week when Lucas took me out that day that I will put all that he did behind me... Behind us.
So here I am now sitting in the 3rd row with my senior class of 2015 waiting for Mr Turner to finish his speech about the future. I take a look around at my fellow peers and the future flashes before my eyes... How I'm going to miss this small town and all my friends, but I know I have to do this. I have to live my life without Lucas by my side and I have to do this now.
"So I have great pleasure wishing you all a great future and it was a fun and well worked year" Mr turner says with a smile plastered on his face "Well done to the class of 2014!" Everyone started to cheer and all our hats went into the air and hugs were being thrown about and some tears were shed.
"Well done honey" I turn around and have my Mom's arms wrap around me embracing me with her scent "We are so proud of you" we pull away and I see that famous Davis smile on her face.
"Thanks for coming Mom" I bend down and pick my hat from the floor putting it back on my head.
"Oh no need to thank me sweetie" she kisses my cheek "so I'll come meet you in London okay darling?"
"Okay Mom" She kisses me once more then she was off to the car that was waiting for her outside the school.
Rachel was having the graduation party tonight at her house, so I was dressed in a white boob tube dress with a big sliver/grey bow tied around the waist with a swirly pattern on the bottom half. I had on sliver platform shoes to match with my hair braided to the side.
I walked to the kitchen to get myself a drink. I poured vodka and Coke into a red cup and took a gulp scrunching up my noise at the amount of vodka I put in my drink. I looked up to see Rachel and Haley both dancing on the dance floor. My eyes then went up to the clock above the kitchen door.
My flight leaves in less than 4 hours. I was cutting it short I needed to head to the air port soon. My bags were locked in the closet under the stairs. I didn't plan on coming to the party, but apparently it was a must according to my two bestfriends. Not only was this a graduation after party it was my send off too.
I really don't see the point in them making a big deal out of this... I mean yes I'm going to London, but I'll be back to visit when I can. I'm not leaving Tree Hill for good.
"You've always looked good in white Pretty Girl" I gulped the rest of my drink and smiled up at my ex boyfriend and ex bestfriend "good speech you made earlier, I just hope you know how sorry I am for everything"
I make another drink and give Lucas a soft nod "I know how sorry you are Luke and I forgive you" his face turned shocked and I laughed at that "what... Didn't you think I'm capable of forgiveness?"
"No... It's just... I hurt you pretty bad and it means a lot for your forgiveness"
"You were my bestfriend before my boyfriend Luke" the music was pumping loud, but for some reason the kitchen was quite "you might of destroyed me at the beginning of senior year, but I made myself stronger and I have you to thank for that. Yes you hurt me and yes I never thought I'd get pass it, but I have and London will prove that" I take a look at the clock once more then back at Lucas "I wish you well Lucas, but I really have to get going... My cab should be here soon"
"You're still going London?" I give him a nod and down the rest of my drink "but I thought..."
"The other day going down memory lane was nice and all Luke, but that wasn't enough to change my mind about London or you..." He looked shocked at the fact that I knew what was behind the memory lane adventure he took me on the other night "I'll always love you Luke; I just can't be with you. Too much has happened. I'm sorry" I lean up over the counter and place a soft kiss to the side of his mouth "good bye Lucas Scott" and with that I walk around the counter and back out the kitchen and over to Rachel and Haley and everyone else to say my goodbyes. Maybe I should leave Tree Hill for good. Maybe this isn't my home anymore.
"I'm gonna miss you Brooke" that was Haley standing in front of me with a tear stained face "summer isn't gonna be the same without you"
I give her a soft hug and wipe the tears from her face "you have Nathan now Hales... You'll do fine without me this summer"
She cried harder and pulled me into another hug "it's not the same" she cried "don't forget me okay"
"I couldn't even if I tried Hales" I kissed her cheek and moved onto my red head bestfriend who also had a tear stained face.
"Oh not you too Red" she didn't say anything just pulled me into her and hugged me tight "I'm not going forever I promise"
"Haley's right" we pulled apart "summer isn't going to be the same without you"
I gave her a smile and wiped her years from her cheek "I'm not the only friend you have red and besides there are a lot of guys you still haven't slept with in this town so I'm sure you'll find something or someone to do while I'm gone this summer" Rachel laughed and hugged me once more "I love you girls" I tell them both when I pull away from Rachel. I take one each of their hands and give him a sad smile.
I was going to miss my girls. They're the only ones that really got me after the whole Lucas thing happened. They're the ones that dug me out the black hole I was in and I'm forever in their debt for that.
I'll never find or meet another pair of friends like them. Ever!
"And we love you too" they both say together and we have one last three way hug.
I then turn to Nathan who joined the party a few hours ago. Before I could even say anything to him he pulled me into a hug and I almost forgot what those felt like. How brotherly his hugs always felt like to me. Once he was done hugging me, he pulled me back and kissed my forehead making me feel safe all over again.
"Be safe B" I nod a single year falling down my cheek "and don't forget us back here in Tree Hill"
"Never could" I whisper leaning up giving him a kiss on the cheek "thank you for coming back Nathan, I really did miss you" he gave me a swift nod and a smile before giving me another quick hug then letting me go again.
I then turned to go to the taxi that was waiting behind me when I see Lucas standing in front of me. He had watery eyes and I thought I was going to break seeing him so vulnerable right in front of me.
I've never seen him so raw and vulnerable. My heart was torn apart inside my chest and I swear for a moment I couldn't breath. I went to say something, but stopped when I realised I wasn't sure what I was going to say anyway.
I then felt Lucas pulled me into him and before I knew what was happening I felt his lips touch mine. His lips to mine felt soft and I suddenly felt wanted all over again, but it was too late. I made my mind up and Lucas wasn't apart of my future. Not anymore, but that didn't stop me from wanting the kiss to last longer.
I didn't move. I didn't want to lose the feeling I felt right now as Lucas and kissed. The crowd behind us grasped and my stomach felt butterflies flutter around inside me and then we pulled apart and my head felt dazed as I opened my eyes once again.
"Have fun in London Pretty Girl" was the only words that came from
Him as he gave me a sad smile "I just wanted to give you something to remember me by" I touched my lips and then stepped away from Lucas as reality hit me... As it hit me hard.
"You really shouldn't have done that Lucas" I barged pass him and got into my taxi.
How dare he think he can kiss me before I leave for the airport... Does he think I'm stupid... I know why he kissed me; he thought he could do that and I'll cancel my future plans and change my mind about everything.
He thought if he kissed me then the spark we once had would make a reappearance and I'll stay for us... Well news flash... There isn't an us, there hasn't been for a long time.
So what did you guys think?
Like it... Yay or nay?
