Flash forward a few years.
Brooke sat on the edge of her bed, awaiting her cab. She graduated Harvard yesterday and was going back to Tree Hill. She thought about staying in Boston, but she missed home. A lot had happened the past four years. Her and Lucas had gotten an amazing apartment and had lived in wedded bliss for the past year. She finally agreed to marry Lucas last year, when he proposed to her on Christmas Eve. It was actually quite romantic. They were home in Tree Hill with everyone and he asked her when they went out ice-skating. He had the entire area filled with twinkling white lights, and roses scattered on the ice. He got down on one knee and asked. She couldn't refuse him. She already knew that he was the only one she ever wanted. Why say no when he would be her future anyway? They got married that June in Boston. All of their family and friends came. It was a simple but romantic ceremony. There would never be a moment quite like that in her future again.
Did her and Lucas have problems the last four years? Absolutely. Both of them had strayed from each other at one point, but knew that it wasn't right. They had their fights, but what couple hasn't? Once they got married, things were perfect. They spent all of their free time together and were looking at buying a home in Boston. They thought it would be nice to start their new life somewhere other than Tree Hill. Lucas was doing great. He was working on a book he wanted to get published and she was interning for a fabulous law firm. They had their future all planned out. Well until that fateful night almost three months ago.
Peyton and Jake had a falling out. Brooke had been visiting with her friends while Luke went to the gym. Jake had packed all of his things and told Peyton she was a crazy bitch before slamming out the door. Brooke felt awkward being in the middle of this fight, but she wouldn't leave her best friend alone. Peyton had cried on her shoulders for hours before she would talk to Brooke. When she finally opened her mouth, the fireworks flew.
"What happened ? Why did you and Jake break up," Brooke asked.
"If I tell you, you have to promise you won't get mad."
Brooke thought this was weird because she wasn't a judgmental person. "You can tell me anything. I'll always be here for you," Brooke said as she rubbed her friends back.
"Jake and I broke up because I think I have feelings for Lucas."
Brooke's mouth fell open. Was she dreaming that one of her best friends just told her this? About her husband? "What do you mean Peyt," Brooke asked, really pissed off.
"I'm sorry Brooke. I don't want to hurt you and I won't tell him. We've been best friends since we were kids and I guess I just never knew I had feeling for him until last week. I just couldn't be with Jake when I was in love with Lucas," Peyton sobbed.
"What happened last week that made you suddenly have an epiphany that you loved my husband," Brooke asked so angrily. She was trying to remain calm, and not slap this bitch in the face, but that was becoming harder with each second.
"We went out for a drink and we kissed and…" she stopped when Brooke hand slapped her so hard in the face it pushed her head back.
"You stupid bitch. You were my best friend and he is my husband. How could you even do anything like that? Did you sleep together" Brooke asked with gritted teeth and clenched teeth.
Peyton sobbed and Brooke couldn't wait for the answer. She grabbed her purse and slammed the door while screaming, "You self-centered bitch. No wonder Jake left your slutty, lying, cheating ass."
That was the same night Brooke packed all of Lucas's shit and kicked him out. She came home to a candlelit apartment and dinner waiting for her. Lucas had bought her roses and placed them in the middle of the table. They had been married for nine months and he always did sweet things like this, for every month they were married. He was in the bathroom when she got home and didn't know how angry she was. Well until she opened the door and smashed the flowers all over the floor. Brooke smacked him in the face hard and threw her engagement and wedding rings at him. He was stunned; he had no idea what brought all of this on until she said the words, "last week and Peyton." He tried to apologize and talk to her, but she would have none of it. Her and Lucas promised each other after their flings that there would never be any more secrets between them, no matter how big or small. He pleaded with Brooke to listen that he didn't sleep with Peyton, but she wouldn't listen. She told him to leave or she would. He left. He tried to talk to her for the next two months, but she ignored every one of his calls and would purposefully be out when he stopped by. He stopped trying with her a few weeks ago, and at first she was glad.
She wasn't seeing anyone. She couldn't. She still loved him, but this was the ultimate betrayal. Things weren't easy and yesterday she found out that she was three months pregnant. She tried to find him at graduation, but he didn't go. In fact, when she went to the place he was staying they told her he had moved out the day before. Now she was alone, pregnant and had no idea how to get a hold of Lucas. All she had was their baby inside of her and divorce papers he had sent to her. She tried calling, but he changed his number. Now she was getting ready to get on a plane and heading back to Tree Hill, not sure of anything, anymore.
Okay so I know this is a short chapter, but there is more to come, I promise. I wansn't planning on writing today, until I saw all the great reviews! And I will do some flashbacks to college in upcoming chapters.
