Lucas glanced at his phone, there was no word from Haley nor Nathan. They haven't talked to him in days, it felt like years to Lucas. Lucas wondered if it was his fault, with Lucas always being around the old man and being with his team. The only time Lucas would really see Haley and Nathan, is when they are at the game. Even then, they wouldn't talk to him. Lucas looked to his right, seeing Haley staring out into the court, watching his team play. She didn't give Lucas a second look. Lucas looked back at his team, they were winning the game. This was going to be their fifth win in a row. Lucas couldn't be more proud of his team or of himself. Lucas stood up, cheering his team on as they only have a few seconds left.

"Hey, Nathan," Lucas called to his brother, Nathan didn't want to speak or look at Lucas. There was somethings that he wanted to be left alone, this was one of them. Nathan raised his eyebrow, letting Lucas to speak. "What's going on? I haven't heard from you or Haley in a few days." Lucas said to him. Nathan shrugged his shoulders, he had to make up a reason and he needed to make it up fast.

"We've just been really busy...with Jamie and all." Nathan tried to make up a good excuse. Lucas didn't want to believe what Nathan was saying. Nathan was avoiding eye contact with Lucas, keeping his eyes on his team. Lucas didn't want to argue with him or ask him anymore questions because he felt like he wouldn't get the truth. They were hiding something and he knew that. Lucas glanced over at Haley who were staring at them, she quickly turned away. They were defientely hiding something and Lucas was going to find out what.

The old man patted Lucas on the back, congratualting him on the game that they just won. Lucas was proud but his focus was on Haley and Nathan. He couldn't bare not knowing what they were up to.

"How was Davis?" Lucas asked the old man. The old man shrugged his shouders, Davis was easy. The old man had a nice night.

"He was fine," The old man said to Lucas. Lucas chuckled, surprised that there wasn't more to tell. Davis would always cry and throw a fit but not when he was around the old man. Lucas sat in the chair near the coffee table in the living room. "I'm proud of you Lucas." The old man said to him. Lucas nodded, thanking the old man but he couldn't really be happy. He was so afraid of the letters ending and about Haley and Nathan.

"Thanks," Lucas looked away from the old man, trying to figure out what Nathan and Haley were hiding from him.

"What's going on? You've been silent since you've been here." the old man asked Lucas, hoping that he would tell him the truth.

"I'm just...confused, a little lost." Lucas said honestly. The old man nodded, he knew what Lucas needed.

"Read one of Brooke's letters, she'll help you find your way again." the old man said to Lucas. Lucas didn't want too but the best idea would be that he did read the letters and find some closuer in them. the letters were almost over, and there would be nothing left but Lucas had been preparing for this. Lucas walked into his room and pulled the box from under the bed. Just a few letters left, his heart was racing out of his chest. He was afraid of the beautiful voice inside his head would be gone forever. Without thinking, he opened one of the letters and started to read it.

Dear Lucas,

I'm standing here in the chair of our sons room. Thinking about what our life would possibily be with them. I know he's going to be kind, selfless and brave just like his father...maybe stubborn like his mother. I pray that Davis is going to be everything that I hope. I'm sad that I won't be able to see it. But I know and believe that I will be watching over him. I'm always going to be here, Luke.

Lucas placed the letter aside, and looked down at the two letters that were left. He quickly opened one of them up, he wanted to be done with this. He wanted the pain and the longing to be over. When he keeps the letters, he holds onto hope that Brooke would rise from the dead but it's not true. He ripped open the evenlope and pulled out the letter.

Dear Lucas, I have forgiven Peyton. Everything that she has done to me, I have forgiven her. Peyton has some issues but I wouldn't a best friend if I left her high and dry. Peyton has been there for me since I was little, it's my job to be there for her...no matter what she has done to me. Peyton is going to be in our lives, if we like or not. She's apart of us and this town. I'm inviting her over tomorrow, hopefully she comes with open arms. I already sent the text. Since I've become pregnant, everything has changed for me. I have this perfect life with the people I love. It's time to forget the past and hope for the future.

Love, Brooke

There was a knock at the door as Lucas reached for the last letter. Lucas looked up and saw Haley standing at the door. He was curious to what she was doing here, maybe she could tell him why she was being so distant. Haley looked over at the last letter that Lucas was holding in his hands.

"Luke, is that the last letter?" Haley sat down in front of him. Lucas wished that he read the letters day by day but reading the letters became a hobby to him. Each day he would read five of them. Lucas nodded. "I'm sorry, Lucas." Haley told him.

"What is there to be sorry about?" Lucas asked her. "Brooke's dead and-" Lucas started to say.

"Brooke isn't dead. She's still with us." Brooke pointed to her heart. Lucas rolled his eyes, standing up from the ground.

"Since I've been back, I've been wondering why you've been so distant but now, I'm glad that you were because I'm sick of hearing your...peace!" Lucas yelled at her. The old man could hear the conversation in Davis' nursery. He quickly shut the door before Davis could wake up. "The thought in your mind that you believe that Brooke is alive." Lucas said to her.

"She is." Haley shot back.

"Then where is she?" Lucas asked her. Haley didn't say a word. "Where is she?!" Lucas yelled at her. "Don't you think that she will be here? With her son?!" Lucas yelled. Haley had tears in her eyes but she was sick of crying. She had been crying for days and today was enough. "Brooke is dead!" Lucas yelled in Haley's face. Haley reacted by slapping Lucas. She didn't know what she was thinking but this how she felt.

"You're an ass." Haley said to him. "With every hope that we have of Brooke, you find someway to destory and I thought we could get through this but I guess we can't." Haley turned away and walked out of the house. The old man appeared from Davis' nursery. He could see that Lucas was furious.

"Lucas, you shouldn't have done that." The old man informed him. Lucas took in a deep breath.

"Get out." Lucas said to him. The old man didn't want to argue, he started to walk away. "And don't ever come back." Lucas told him.

"Brooke wouldn't want that." The old man turned around, looking at Lucas.

"Brooke is dead." Lucas said to him. The old man quickly walked out and shut the door behind him.
