Lucas walked the old halls of his high school, he watched as the children moved past each other. He missed this place, he missed the smell and the people that were here. There was so much history, Lucas continued to walk the halls of the school, trying to find what he was looking for and he did. He walked over to the locker that used to be his wives. He smiled, remembering when he decorated her locker.

It was the beginning of senior year, everything had changed with everyone. There was so much to tell each other, so much that they had to catch up on. Brooke opened her locker, looking at the empty, grey locker. She placed her books in there, wanting something exciting to happen. She didn't want her senior to be boring, she wanted her senior year to special and fun. She shut her locker door and Lucas and Peyton was standing in front of her. Lucas had his arm wrapped around Peyton's shoulder, showing everyone that she was his girlfriend. Brooke frowned, annoyed with the lovely couple. She was bitter because she was going to be alone for the rest of her life, or she thought.

"Seriously?" Brooke pouted.

"What?" Peyton laughed. Brooke rolled her eyes, turning away.

"Nothing," Brooke groaned, walking down the hallway. Peyton and Lucas followed behind her.

"Brooke, what's wrong?" Lucas asked her, removing his arm around Peyton's shoulder.

"Nothing, I'm just the third wheel of this relationship." Brooke sharply turned around. Peyton laughed, she loved how dramatic Brooke was.

"Brooke, you'll be fine." Peyton assured to Brooke.

"Seriously, Peyton. I think I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life." Brooke said to Peyton.

"You might be one of those cat ladies," Lucas chimmed in. Brooke rolled her eyes, punching Lucas in the shoulder.

"No, you won't Brooke. Your going to find your love." Peyton pulled Brooke in for a tight hug. Brooke still didn't feel any better.

"Yea, right. All the good ones are taken." Brooke crossed her arms.

"You got that right." Peyton pulled Lucas in for a kiss but he pulled away. He looked over at Brooke as she tried to look away.

"Not everyone is going to find their first love in high school." Lucas told Brooke, trying to make her feel better.

"But you guys did," Brooke said to Lucas. Lucas smiled slightly but Peyton had a wide smile on her face.

"Cheer up, Brooke. I know you'll find someone." Peyton rubbed Brooke's shoulder. "If it will make you feel better, we could go for sushi later." Peyton asked her.

"And be the third wheel, no thanks." Brooke quickly said to her.

"No, just me and you." Peyton laughed. Brooke smirked, liking the idea.

"Sure." Brooke winked at Peyton. "Alright, I'm going to let you two love birds go." Brooke walked away from them, towards the hallway. Lucas couldn't keep his eyes of Brooke, he really thought something was going on with her.

"What's going on with you, Lucas Scott." Peyton moved Lucas' face towards hers. She cupped her hands around his cheeks, trying to understand.

"Nothing...it's just, maybe we shouldn't...fluant our relationship in Brooke's face." Lucas asked Peyton, hoping that she wouldn't get mad. Peyton didn't understand why Lucas was acting like this but she didn't want to argue. They did enough of that this summer.

"You've been caring a lot about Brooke lately." Peyton crossed her arms.

"C'mon, Peyton. I don't want to argue." Lucas begged her. "I have to go," Lucas started to back away.

"Yea, to Brooke." Peyton shot back.

"She needs me right now." Lucas tried to tell Peyton.

"Your not her best friend, Luke. I am and I told her that we will catch up later. She'll be fine." Peyton grabbed a hold of Lucas' arm, pulling him closer.

"You said the same thing this summer and guess what, she wasn't fine. We spent so much time together this summer that we forgot about Brooke." Lucas told her.

"So, that's where you've been almost every night and every day." Peyton took a step back.

"She needed me," Lucas rasied his shoulders, he didn't know what else to say. Peyton nodded, she was furious with Lucas. "Look, there are somethings that I tell her that I can't tell you and there are somethings that I can talk to her about. Like there are somethings you can talk to Haley about instead of me." Lucas assured Peyton. Peyton understood now, Brooke was his best friend. Peyton didn't want to be this person and she didn't want to argue.

"Just last year, before summer. You broke up with me and chose Brooke." Peyton tried to explain.

"That was the biggest mistake of my life," Lucas lied to her. "Were just friends now, I swear. And you know, maybe she's still hurt about me breaking up with her." Lucas guessed, trying to make an excuse to go talk to Brooke.

"Alright, call me later." Peyton walked away. Lucas smiled, happy that they didn't argue. Lucas raced down the hallway, trying to find Brooke. He saw Brooke slowly walking down the hallway.

"Why so sad, Brooke?" Lucas wrapped his arm around Brooke and pulled her in for a hug. Brooke laughed, she looked around and noticed that Peyton wasn't here.

"Where's Peyton?" Brooke asked him.

"Oh, she's...in class." Lucas shrugged her shoulders. Brooke knew why Lucas was here.

"I don't need a rescue Lucas." Brooke removed his arm off of her shoulders.

"This isn't a rescue." Lucas lied to her.

"Then what is it?" Brooke asked him.

"It's a...best friend...talk..." Lucas couldn't make up a quick lie.

"A rescue," Brooke nodded.

"It's not a rescue," Lucas laughed, Brooke laughed with him.

"I'm alright, Lucas." Brooke said to him.

"No, your not. So, I'm here to-"

"Rescue me." Brooke finished his sentence.

"If that's what you want to call it," Lucas said to her. Brooke tried to hide her smile, she wanted to be serious. Lucas held out his hand. "Skip with me." Lucas asked her.

"Lucas, I can't. We skipped mostly Junior year." Brooke informed him.

"And wasn't it the best time of you life? You and I, hanging out. That was the highlight of my year." Lucas told her. Brooke smirked.

"Mine too." Brooke told him. Lucas held his hand out again, hoping that Brooke would take it this time.

"Then come with me Brooke Davis and let's go on adventure." Lucas told her. Brooke chuckled, taking Lucas' hand. They walked out of the school, down the street to a park. There were no children, it was just empty and quiet. They contiuned to walk to a large field that went on for miles. They found a spot and laid down. "See, just like old time." Lucas let out a deep breath, trying to relax. Brooke thought about the history that they had together. she closed her eyes and thought about what the rest of the school year might be like. "What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" Lucas asked her.

"I'm imaging what senior year is going to be like." Brooke answered him.

"And what do you see?" Lucas asked. Brooke studied, trying to figure it out.

"I see...me, being the coach of cheerleading team and you being captain of ravens and winning the championships. I see much success in our future." Brooke told him.

"Is that all you see?" Lucas asked her.

"Oh, and you and Peyton get married." Brooke shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know about that," Lucas looked away. Brooke gasped, sitting up.

"What are you talking about?" Brooke asked him.

"It's just...things are different." Lucas shrugged his shoulders.

"Things are going to be different, Luke. Just be different...together." Brooke told him.

"It's not that easy," Lucas said to her.

"And why not?" Brooke questioned him.

"It's just not." Lucas answered her. Brooke raised her eyebrows, something was really wrong with Lucas. Lucas didn't want to talk about the issues with Peyton. "Just...just promise me that you and I will never change." Lucas begged Brooke.

"Your stuck with me." Brooke laid back down next to him. They looked up at the clear blue sky.

"That's not a promise," Lucas said serously.

"I promise," Brooke looked over at him and caught his glance. "You have someone, Luke. Don't give up so easily, I'll give anything to have an epic love." Brooke told him.

"What is love?" Lucas scoffed. Brooke knew exactly what love meant.

"Love...is undescriable." Brooke smirked.

"Well, that helps a lot." Lucas said sarcasticlly. Brooke laughed a little.

"Love is, challenging, epic, beautiful...love is people." Brooke said to him.

"Well, in that case," Lucas grabbed a hold of Brooke's hand. Brooke had her attention on Lucas, wondering what he was doing.

"I love you, Brooke Davis." Lucas confessed to her.

"I love you, too Lucas Scott." Brooke said softly. "You helped me through a lot this summer. I don't think I would have made it without you." Brooke told him.

"Same and I don't think that I would make senior year without you. I need these moments." Lucas looked back at the sky. In that moment, they felt something in their heart like a light turned on. Their hearts started to raise and they could feel their hands shake a little. They glanced at each other, the rush suddenly stopped and it felt like time had suddenly stopped. It was just the both of them, without a words. Lucas and Brooke both relized that they wanted this forever, this moment. They realized that they were in love each other.

"We should get back," Brooke whispered.

"Just a few more seconds." Lucas asked her. Brooke nodded.

"What are you doing?" a soft voice asked. Lucas turned around to see a young girl holding her blue binder. She had an angry look on her face, wondering who was this strange man. "What are you doing at my locker?" the girl pushed Lucas aside and opened her locker. Lucas was still shocked by the memory that played like a movie in the back of his mind.

"I'm sorry, this was my wife's locker." Lucas pointed to the young girl locker. The young girl narrowed her eyebrows and looked back at the older man. the angry look on her face began to turn into sorrow. She reconginzed this man.

"Oh my god," The girl said with such surprise. Lucas looked at her, wondering what she was talking about. "Oh my god, your the guy from the photo." The girl said with such excitment but she was so surprised. She quickly opened the binder and looked through the papers.

"What picture?" Lucas asked curiously. The girl pulled out a small picture, it was of young Brooke and young Lucas. Brooke eyes were crossed eyed and lips pukered, making a funny face. Lucas had his tongue sticking out, his tongue almost touching Brooke's cheek. Lucas was shocked that this picture was still here.

"That's you right?!" the girl siad with such excitment. Lucas chuckled.

"Yea, that me." Lucas nodded.

"Oh my god!" The girl jumped up and down. "I knew when I saw this photo that it meant something and i wondered whose people were and i thought nothing of it and then i found who you were and i never thought you will come back and i never thought i will find you. I can't believe I found the epic love of Tree Hill." The said in one breathe. Lucas thought it was odd how she was so intrested in his love life. "your love story was so...sooo..." She couldn't find the words.

"Epic?" Lucas raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" the girl yelled. "Oh my god, I can't believe it. You have to tell me." The girl took a step closer to Lucas.

"What?" Lucas took a step back.

"Everything." the young girl said to him.

"Coach Scott!" He heard a girl scream down the hallway. It was sarah running towards him with a wide smile on her face. "Coach Scott!" Sarah waved a peace of paper in her hand. "I found the reason." She said to him. "I found the reason," Sarah stood in front of them. "Hey, Claire." Sarah quickly said to the girl next to her.

"Claire?" Lucas asked the young girl. Claire nodded.

"Anyway, I found the reason." Sarah said to him.

"What reason?" Lucas quickly asked her.

"The reason why you and Brooke are important." Sarah told him like it was obviously.

"Isn't their love story amazing," claire gushed.

"Yea, I know. I told you." Sarah rolled her eyes.

"Wait, wait, you told her." Lucas pointed to Claire. Sarah shrugged her shoulders, she didn't think that it was important.

"Yea, she found a picture and I told her about the love story." Sarah quickly said. "Anyway, I found the reason."

"Please, tell me the reason." Lucas said getting annoyed.

"Because you guys are the prime example of love never dies. This town needs that. This high school needs that. You guys taught me that love is powerful and could get through anything. That anyone could fall in love, that we can have hope that we all can fall in love." Sarah said to him.

"So, the reason is love." Lucas said to her.

"Yes, you and Brooke-"

"Brooke is dead." Lucas quickly said to her.

"Oh my god, what happened?" Claire quickly asked.

"She was murdered." Sarah answered her in a hurry.

"She had a cancer." Lucas corrected Sarah.

"She had cancer and she was murdered. Oh my god!" Claire rubbed her head, trying to wrap around what she was just told.

"Who is telling you this stuff anyway?" Lucas asked Sarah.

"Uh, I research and plus Mrs. Scott helps a lot." Sarah shrugged her shoulders.

"Haley tells you this?" Lucas asked her, not surprised but angry.

"If Haley is Mrs. Scott then yes." Sarah told him. "But I want to know more."

"If you want to know all of this stuff, read my book." Lucas tried to walk away. Sarah and Claire gasped, holding onto each other.

"There's going to be a book?!" Sarah screeched.

"Yes." Lucas answered.

"Oh my god, this is going to be better than twilight." Claire told Sarah.

"Seriously with 'oh my god' it's annoying," Sarah whispered to Claire.

"What is it going to be about?" Claire asked him.

"Just the letters that she left me-" Lucas stopped himself, knowing that he was feeding these children more into it. The girls eyes widened.

"SHE LEFT YOU LETTER?!" Sarah gushed.

"This is so romatic, I can't take it." Claire said to herself.

"You guys seriously need a hobby." Lucas quickly walked away form them. Claire didn't know what to think, she wanted to know what those letters said.

"There are letters," Claire said to Sarah.

"I know." SArah shook her head, so surprised. "I wonder if there for DAvis." Sarah quetioned herself.

"Whose Davis? Brooke's mystery lover?" Claire whispered.

"No," Sarah hit Claire on the arm. "Her son."

"She has a son?" Claire gasped.

"Yes," Sarah rolled her eyes.

"It's Lucas' right?" Claire asked her.

"This isn't a days of our lives." Sarah told her. "That's not even the good part," Sarah said to Claire. Sarah whispered into Claire's ear the secret that Mrs. Scott told her not to tell but she couldn't help herself. Claire's eyes widened, she didn't know what to say.

"Oh my-" Claire stopped herself, looking over at Sarah.

"you can say it," SArah smirked, crossing her arms.

"OH MY GOD." Claire shouted.
