A/N: I'm sorry for the wait! Here's another chapter =) Personals at the bottom. Once again, I don't own anything except Luna, Craig, the script (Andrew and Josh)
I also just wanted to add, I love describing scenery especially in California and I did it in the last chapter and I'm doing it again… I truly feel that scenery can help someone heal a broken heart or help them find themselves. It doesn't have to be in California.
Chapter Three: I'd Lie

From afar he thinks he could see her, but he knows she's not there. He misses her, he won't lie and today he misses her more than he has ever.

Julian's television was turned on to Fashion TV where Brooke was smiling during an interview. Her smile glowed and she looked beautiful.
It feels so good to hear your voice.
It was an interview from a year back. Julian remembers thinking; this must have been before Tree Hill, when the phone rang.
"Hello?" His voice was bare and cold.
"Ah, son, how are you?" He knew his voice, that cold voice. Jonathan Lewis, his father, the man whose life goal was to make sure he walked with his head down.
"What do you want father?" Julian's voice ache's at the word father and he knows Jonathan picked up on it because he could feel his cold smirk on the other side of the phone.
"I've got a job for you. It's with Jennifer Aniston, in fact she requested you. For reasons unknown. " Julian's head shot up, forgetting that he was talking to his father.
"I don't want it." He shot out, remembering who he was on the phone with. He looks at the calendar place on the table and looks at the date.
That's when he remembers.
He was eighteen when he told his father that he had discovered a part of himself that he finally enjoyed. That's when Jonathan told him, "Well son, you'll never make it a day without my help in this business." That day changed his life forever.
"I heard you went out with that Brooke Davis girl. What happened? Did she realize who you were and leave?" Julian's hand formed an angry fist and he punched the table. Julian watched as his knuckles open and blood flowed out.
"The meeting will be at Universal studios and it's at eleven." The next thing he heard was the dial tone and women telling him she couldn't connect his call.

"What's important to our company is that there isn't any drama. We don't want to paps on our back while filming. What's your personal life like?"
"I'm single. Nothing more to it." Julian informed the vice-president of movie relations, Craig, pressing his lips together.
"You'll find her." The tall, leggy president of movie relations, Luna, tells him. Julian nods.
"I just got out of a relationship and I'm not really looking."
"I'm sorry to hear that. You'll find someone." Julian nods and gives her a smile.
What if I already had her?
"So, I don't know if you read the script but it's about a man and woman. They were a couple and somehow life got in the way of their relationship breaking them apart. The movie is about them finding their way back together and how they deal with the loss of loosing the person they loved most. And all the things that come with it. You know, the regret, the anger it's realizing that it's okay to miss them and want to hear their voice. Finally when that day comes the moment you realize that there is a good chance you may never get that person back and maybe its okay. Obviously, they find their way back to each other." Luna's voice was soft and calm. She let out a small smile and Julian returned it.
"Awesome." He manages to say.
"I'll let you take the script home and you can read it. We agree with your father, you might be too young but we believe. We'll talk tomorrow."
Julian nods, taking the stack of white paper with thousands of words place among the pages.

Julian loves Santa Monica beach and he thinks he loves it even more since he returned. He finds himself a place on the sand, with his suit still on and just sits. He begins to read the pages of the script and looses himself in the words.
The script might be a Romantic Comedy but with every word he finds himself going through the healing process that Luna described.
"Andrew: She's not coming back. You have to realize that man, Arianna is gone. You have to move on." Julian finds him reading page 27 out loud.
"Josh: No, no. It's not over. It doesn't feel over. She'll come back.
Andrew: Then why isn't she here?"
Julian put the script down and knew that Andrew was right. This character was right. If it wasn't over, then why wasn't Brooke sitting next to him on this beach?
Julian closes his eyes and pictures a moment that had occurred in a dream he had. Brooke was walking slowly towards the water. He pictured Sam already in the water, looking free and alive. When Brooke finally reaches the water she giggles at the temperature, turning back to him. Then her hand is paced on her stomach and she rubs it. He pulls out the picture right after Sam says something funny, and the two look happy.
He wanted that so bad. He didn't even need the family, he just needed her.
But she wasn't here. Julian opened his eyes and saw an unending ocean with no one around him playing in the water.
Julian got up and took a deep breath and grabbing the script.
"Your not here and I'm going to have to be okay with that." He whispered to himself.
Julian walked away from the water and turned away from his car. He didn't want to drive; he wanted to walk to where his feet told him to go. Secretly, he hoped his heart would be there, too.
A/N: When I started this chapter, I didn't know where to go. My head was completely blank and then I started thinking (in the process I thought of another story) but I didn't know where to go. Then I started writing and I remembered why I wrote in Julian's perspective. I think this was the most heartbreaking chapter for me to write and now that I'm done I want to cry!
Haylee: I love Brooke and Julian! Julian is actually my favorite male character and I love to write about him. Thank you for saying such amazing words, I'll try to hold the story for as long as possible. Even though I am picturing an end, I really can't imagine not getting reviews on this story or sitting to write it. Although, I've begun to think of other story ideas. I'll make sure to post something on a chapter or maybe I'll do a poll about it. Either way, Thank you !!!!!
LeLa London: Thank you for saying such beautiful things. I really feel that I can never write enough and when I read your reply I felt better about my length. Also, thank you so much for saying that my writing style was unique that is one the most wonderful things to hear about my writing! I appricate the time you take to write a review. Thank you!!!!
koumi11: Thank you for your reply. I think there will be a happy ending. Thank you for your reply!
brulianforever.: I'm so glad that you reviewed the second chapter, that's all that matters! Thank you so much for replying. I'm glad that I can present a different point of view. Thank you for saying all of those awesome things. I hate that BJ aren't together right now but it's all about finding that moment for someone to come into your life, if you get what I mean. I love reading your replies! Thank you!!!!!!
Angell4NEPatriots: Thank you for your amazing reply. I love when I open my email and see your replies. You take so much time and I really appreciate it. I totally agree with you about Chris, it is such a guy response. I think every guy has one friend that they could predict would say that. I'm glad the hook-up wasn't out of the place. I thought about who Julian came off as at the start and agreed that's probably what would occur. Your last paragraph made me want to get all teary eyed. Your words were amazing and wonderful and made me want to cry the fact that someone gets my writing like that is awesome. Thank you!!!!
Vette: Thank you for replying. I'm really glad you liked the ending, it was one of the best parts to write, for sure. I'm continuing for another couple of chapters and after that we will see. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Thank you!!!
