Lucas was done talking about death, he was done thinking about it. He felt that everytime he would talk about, he would think about Brooke. He reminded himself that Brooke isn't dead, that she was still here. But then, he feels like that he would never move on. He should start now, he thought. Move on with Davis, and never look back. Because if he didn't, he would be a completely devstated and it wouldn't be good for Davis. He had fought hard and long since Brooke was gone, he missed her kisses and her touch. He looked in the mirror, putting on his shirt. He placed the necklace around his neck with Brooke's ring dangling from the chain of the necklace. Lucas swore to himself that he would always wear this, it would be his good luck necklace. Brooke never let him down.
Brooke kissed him on his neck, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She wanted him to be comfortable and relaxed since today was the big day. She could tell how nervous he was, he had been standing in the mirror for over an hour changing his suits over and over again. Brooke tried not to laugh, instead she had this confident smile on her face.
"You're going to be late." Brooke kissed his neck, moving towards his cheek. Lucas shook his head, finally putting on his tie. He felt like black and white would do him just fine. He was struggling with himself. He didn't know if this was the right moment, or if this was the right time.
"I'm just nervous." Lucas closed his eyes, trying to take in a deep breath. It was like his lungs were on fire and he couldn't breathe. Brooke turned him around, facing her. She helped him with his tie because it was a little crocked.
"Of course you are and you should be, it means that you won't do anything stupid." Brooke reminded him. Lucas thought of all the things that could go wrong but also all the things that could go right. He wanted this to be the best day of his life, he would miss it if he wouldn't stop stressing about it.
"This is really important to me, I don't want to screw this up." Lucas said to her. Brooke smiled, she didn't think that Lucas would screw this up. She thought that Lucas would have the best day of his life.
"Today is the book signing, this is also the day that agents and publishers would be arriving." Brooke reminded, kinking her eyebrow. She wanted him to be sharp and alert of the people around him. Lucas huffed, rolling his eyes. He didn't want to be reminded of that or he will be even more stressed out.
"Well, thanks for reminding me, Brooke." Lucas said sarcastically.
"Your welcome." Brooke tapped him on his chest.
"Brooke, this isn't funny." Lucas walked away from her, pacing around their bedroom. Brooke laughed a little, seeing how nervous he was.
"I haven't seen you this nervous since you proposed to me." Brooke chuckled. Lucas turned around. He laughed a little and it felt good. He was slowly relaxing himself. Lucas sat on the edge of the bed, next to Brooke Davis. "You just have to take a deep breath." Brooke took in a deep breath, giving Lucas an example. Lucas took in a deep breath, held it for a second and let it out. So did Brooke.
"How did you deal with it when you launched your clothing store?" Lucas begged her, wondering her tricks.
"I didn't, I was a complete nervous wreck." Brooke said honestly. Lucas groaned, covering his face. He knew that today was going to be the worst day of his life. "But then I thought you and our baby. And then everything just changed. I was relaxed." Brooke said to him, softly. Lucas looked up, not knowing that she had thought of them. Brooke took off her wedding ring, kissed it and then rubbed it softly on her pregnant belly. She stood up, with a slight groan coming from her mouth. She was five months pregnant, she couldn't believe that she came this far. She was excited for her baby to come out. She was ready. She grabbed a necklace from her cabinet. She took the diamond off of the necklace and in place of it, she put her ring there. She walked over to Lucas and wrapped it around his neck. "When you feel like your panic or the world is falling apart around you. Know that Davis and I will always be there for you. Always." Brooke said softly. Lucas looked down at the necklace that was on his chest, he didn't even realized that he was completely calm. Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke, pulling her in closer. He looked up at his beautiful wife.
"How did I get so lucky?" Lucas asked her. Brooke squinted her eyes, looking up as if she was thinking really hard.
"You know, I ask myself that question every day." Brooke laughed.
"So, you're okay with this?" Lucas slowly asked her, not knowing what she was going to say. Brooke raised her eyebrows, she didn't really care as long as Lucas was happy, she was going to be happy. This was for Lucas, not for her.
"About you doing a book signing from a book that you wrote about another girl...named Peyton. I'm totally fine." Brooke shrugged her shoulders, not thinking nothing else of it. She pulled away from Lucas and grabbed her purse.
"Woah, woah, Brooke...what are you doing?" Lucas stopped her from grabbing anything else.
"I just didn't do my makeup and put on this blue dress for no reason." Brooke laughed. "I'm team Lucas, I wasn't going to let you go to first book signing alone...plus, I didn't want any other girls hitting on you. We already have Peyton for that." Brooke rolled her eyes. Lucas quickly kissed her, he wanted to thank her for everything that she was doing for him.
"Your amazing you know that." Lucas pulled away from the kiss, he wanted her to know that. Brooke shrugged her shoulders, putting her arms around him.
"That's what I heard." Brooke said to him.
Lucas had tears in his eyes, he just missed Brooke so damn much. He missed everything that Brooke had to offer. She was everything that he ever wished for. When he was in high school, he always thought Peyton and him should be together but that all changed when he fell in love with Brooke. He would try anything to get her back and have her trust her again. She was everything that he wished for and now that shes gone, he felt like a piece of him left too. He was stubborn, he swore to himself that he wouldn't find anyone else and that he was fine being alone. He turned over, grabbing the letter from the bed.
Life is suddenly great. My heart is filled with you and Davis, even though I don't get to see him. I imagine him looking and being like his father and I think that's enough for me. I have lived to see so much and I fell in love, I got married and now I'm pregnant with our son. I couldn't ask for a better life. Even though I'm gone, I still feel like I will be there by your side Lucas Scott. I will always be with you, even when you think I'm not. I'm there. I lived my life how I wanted to, with you. You made my life so much more than I ever thought it would be. I will always love you, Lucas Scott. Always.
Love, Brooke.
