(Brooke's point of view)
Lucas is in jail. Peyton and Lucas are separated. Peyton seemed like she was nervous to call me. I hate that our friendship is strained. I'm not sure if I should write Lucas. What would I say?
I haven't told anyone about my conversation with Peyton. I feel guilty for keeping it from everyone mostly Haley. I just don't know why he hasn't told her. Why hasn't he called Nathan? They would understand.
I've tried to write my letter. I mean what do I say. Obviously asking about how he's doing would be stupid. I can't just say oh I'm doing great. I mean that would be so rude. I can't say I have a fiancée who loves me and a job that I love. What should I say?
Luckily I was interrupted. I started working on some designs. I was about three hours later than normal home. Julian was still off filming. I missed him a lot. When I got home I noticed a message.
"Hey Brooke its Peyton if you aren't busy give me a call back. No earth shattering news this time. I just want to talk if you aren't busy." She said as the message ended.
I quickly called Peyton. Sawyer was at a sleep over. We talked all night. It felt good. She told me though she loves her daughter sometimes she feels like she and Lucas shouldn't have ever been. We talked about the past a lot. I didn't realize how much was still bothering her that happened so long ago.
The next day I was exhausted. It was a happy exhausted. Especially after Peyton sent me some new music. I decided to take a few pictures of some of my new sketches. Haley came in. She seemed to know something was going on.
"Have you talked to Lucas or Peyton lately?" I asked trying to find out if she knew anything.
"Not for a while. Lucas said he and Peyton had a huge fight. Lucas went to stay with Karen and Andy." Haley answered.
"Oh yeah Peyton called me." I said trying not to give anything away.
"Wow what did she say?" Haley asked.
"They separated." I answered quickly.
"I didn't realize it was that serious." Haley said.
"Have you talked to Karen?" Brooke asked.
"Only by short e-mails. They are out in the middle of the ocean." Haley answered.
"Oh yeah I forgot they left again." I said.
"Did Peyton tell you anything else?" Haley asked seeming to know that she had.
"Yes but I think you should wait for Lucas to tell you." I said not wanting to be in the middle.
"Fine I'll give him a little more time. I figure he won't be gone too long he'll miss Sawyer too much." Haley said making me feel like crying.
Julian came home tonight. I mentioned Peyton calling but nothing else. After a romantic dinner we made love. I feel asleep completely exhausted from the previous night.
The next morning Julian was on the phone. I realized he was going out of town again. I missed him so much. He deserved his dreams too.
I sat down with nothing to do. I pulled out a note pad. I decided to do it. It wouldn't have to be painful. All I had to do was be his friend. I said Dear: Lucas.
