With another win, Lucas focused on the team. He focused on how they only have two more games until they go the championships. He tried not to think about the old man or Haley. He knew that he was wrong for yelling at Haley but he was sick of hearing the false hope that Haley had. He was just trying to move on so that he could be a better person for his son. There was so much that he would have done with Brooke but he couldn't let that hunt him. He knew what Brooke would have wanted, she would want him to move on. Lucas laid his jacket on the couch, he let out a deep breath, this season was oddly easy. A young girl walked out of Davis' room, she had a bright smile on her face.
"He's asleep coach Scott," The young girl said to him. Lucas nodded, digging in his back pocket to grab the twenty dollars. He handed the girl the money. "Great Game tonight," The young girl complimented Lucas. Lucas smiled.
"Thanks," Lucas looked away from the young girl, he was wondering why she was still standing in front of him. The young girl had a sad look on her face. "Alright, Sarah-" Lucas had enough of the silence between them, but Sarah had something to say to him.
"I go to the cafe all the time and I saw the portrit of your wife, I think it was nice of them to do that. She was a very beautiful lady." Sarah said to Lucas. Lucas chuckled a little, he didn't think that a young girl like Sarah would know anything about his wife.
"Yea, she was." Lucas walked away from the young girl, hoping that she would just leave.
"What happened to her?" Sarah asked him, bluntly. Lucas narrowed his eyebrows, he thought that it was none of her business but he knew that she wouldn't go away unless he told her.
"Sarah," Lucas tried to say to her.
"My friend said that she was murdered." Sarah told him. Lucas huffed, rubbing his face in frustration. Those true words that came from her mouth sounded so harsh. He never thought in his mind that she was really murdered, that she died from cancer.
"She had cancer, she was going to die anyway." Lucas informed her. Sarah felt bad for Lucas, he was a lonely man because of something awful happened to him. Sarah crossed her arms, she didn't believe that.
"Ms. Haley talks about her all the time." Sarah told him. Lucas wasn't surprised that Haley told her class about Brooke. Lucas was a little curious what she told them.
"What did she say?" Lucas asked Sarah. Sarah smirked, seeing how intrested Lucas was in the conversation.
"She said that it was fairytale what you and Brooke had." Sarah answered him. "From what I heard, you guys had a epic love." Sarah smiled a little, imagining what that would be like. "That's like...one in a million." Sarah told him. Lucas nodded, agreeing that he was lucky. "But what if you've never chose, Brooke...what would have happened? What would have happened if you chose Peyton?" Sarah asked, Lucas never really thought about that.
"I guess we would have gotten married...had children." Lucas shrugged his shoulders.
"Would you be happy?" Sarah asked, curiously.
"Maybe." Lucas quickly answered her. Sarah nodded, grabbing her coat. She felt like Lucas was such a mysterious man, there was more to him than just a basketball coach. She wanted to know more about the epic love that he had with Brooke.
"I'm doing a report about you guys." Sarah told Lucas. Lucas quickly looked up.
"A report?" Lucas asked, wanting to hear those words again. He wondered if he heard her correctly.
"Well, it's more like a history report..." Sarah corrected herself.
"That makes it better?" Lucas asked her. Sarah rolled her eyes.
"It's about this town's history, me, I think the people make this town. This town wouldn't be a town without the people. And I wouldn't me without my parents. And you wouldn't be you..."
"Without Brooke," Lucas caught on. Sarah smiled.
"I want to write about you guys, the epic love of Tree Hill High." Sarah told him.
"But how did Brooke and I make Tree Hill High?" Lucas asked her. Sarah shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know, I'll figure it out somehow." Sarah said to him. "I'm sorry about your wife, Mr. Scott." Sarah said to him before she left. Lucas waved good-bye as she shut the door behind her. Lucas felt like everyone was testing him, he would always get reminded of Brooke. He sometimes wondered when will it end? When will they stop remembering Brooke Davis? Lucas walked to his back room. Lucas saw the last letter laying on his bed, he didn't want to read it just yet. A part of him wanted to hold on to the Brooke that he had left but the other part of him wanted to move on.
