Okay I know I said this would be the thanksgiving chapter, but it isn't. The next chapter will be the thanksgiving chapter and that chapter will be split in two... First part will be in Lucas's POV and the second half will be in Brooke's POV.
So enjoy the next chapter.
I stood there staring back at the girl that I love. The girl that was about to walk out of my life and there was nothing I could say to stop that. A tear slowly fell down her cheek as she stared back at me. I knew what was coming.
I knew the thing I was trying to avoid since college started had crept up on me and I knew what was going to come out of her mouth next. I didn't want this. I didn't want things to go this way. I didn't expect it to go this way so soon.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled and I could see her bottom lip wobble as she tried not to cry.
I watched as she turned around and walked off in the direction of my dorm building. Should I go after her? What do I do now.
My heart continued to hammer against my chest and the breathe I did have got knocked out of me as she disappeared from my view.
How did this even manage to happen? Why did her visit end like this and then she popped into my head and the words she had said poisoned Brooke's mind. She did this. She ruined everything.
"Lucas" and that was her voice "Lucas there you are. I thought you went after her"
"I did" I reply "and now I'm here alone because she just broke up with me"
"Wait" Aria turned and looked at me "she did?" I could hear the glee in her voice and see the light beam in her eyes.
"I don't know why you look so happy with me saying that Aria because Brooke may have just broke up with me, but that doesn't mean I'm going to jump into your bed" I made clear "I told you Aria, Brooke is my one"
"Well she obviously doesn't feel the same Lucas" I could also hear the annoyance in her voice. She thought she had one. I warned her and yet she broke us up anyway "she left Lucas. She broke up with you. What more do you need to see that Brooke doesn't love you"
"Yes she does" I kinda yell fed up with her nonsense talk like she knows what she is talking about. Like she knows Brooke and I "I've told you Aria and I've told you more than once and yet you still found it your business to get between Brooke and I and congratulations she dumped me, but that doesn't me I won't stop fighting for her. College will come to and end eventually and I will get Brooke back"
Aria huffed "I just wanted you to see me"
"And I told you that Brooke is my future" I then turn around and head back in the bar.
Now I want to get so drunk I forgot what just happened and I'll deal with it tomorrow.
I woke the next morning in a bed that wasn't mine, a room that wasn't mine and my whole body went cold. Please please please tell me I didn't.
I looked around to try and get some perspective of who's room I was in. Pictures were seen around the room and to my luckiness I wasn't in a girls room.
"Hey dude" Chase one of my other friends walked in "I thought it would be a good idea to drag you here last night after everything that happened with Brooke. I'm sorry about that by the way"
Oh yes the Brooke situation that occurred last night. Where the love of my life dumped me and I was meant to see her again next week for thanksgiving. Oh yes that situation.
"Thanks man" I reply swinging my legs round and running my hands over my face.
Last night became a wild one. After Brooke left and I had words with Aria I went back into the party and got hammered. We played drinking games and everything it was crazy. I had to forget just for the rest of night and it worked.
"So the guys and I are going to head to the gym and sweat out the drink from last night wanna come join. I've got some extra stuff if you want"
What I really wanted to do was call Brooke and tell her that she can't just walk away from us. That she can't just give up, but I know for a fact she won't answer my calls and I can't tell her what to do. I just have to give her a little space.
"Okay yeah cool. I'll come with" I say downing the water and two white pills I see on the side table and then have a quick shower and get changed heading to the gym with the guys.
"Lucas" it was Aria. She looked a little sad and I know it's because of last night and how harsh I was with her, but she had just broke me and Brooke up and was gleeful about it right after. It annoyed me.
"What do you want Aria?" I didn't mean to sound rude, but she is the reason why I didn't take Brooke to the airport this morning and why she left last night instead.
"I'm sorry" she says sitting down in the seat beside me. After the gym I went for some lunch alone to get my head together and figure out what I do next "I didn't mean for it to go down like it did really. I mean yes I admit that I wanted to break ya'll up or wait for it to happen, but I didn't realise how hurt you were actually going to be and I know now that I can't fix it" I wasn't sure if she meant any of what she was saying, but I also couldn't stay mad at her because my energy was focused on Brooke.
"It's okay Aria, not much we can do about it now" I reply.
"Can I make it up to you and buy you a coffee or some food?" I nod and smile formed on her lips "cool I'll go grab us both something. I'll be right back" I nod again and see her walk towards the cafeteria we had on campus.
Thanksgiving was in like 3 days and I was going to see Brooke again since we broke up. Was it going to be hard? Of course it was. Was I going to hate it. Of course I will. But I have to go because I made a promise that I had to keep.
"So she just what broke up with you?" Nathan asks when he called an hour ago.
"Yeah, I don't know what happened Man she just. She kept trying to do it for weeks now, but I always managed to stop it, but this time... I don't know she just she said sorry and left. I had no way of getting her to stay so I let her go and I haven't heard from her since" and that was last week.
I'm not sure whether I should call her or text her or anything. I mean I didn't really even get closure. She just left.
"Man that sucks. I don't even think she accepted the girls Facetime either. Haley thinks Brooke is struggling more than she is letting on"
I let out a sigh really not knowing what to do at this point. I love this girl so much that my heart hurts just thinking about her.
"Did she say she was coming to thanksgiving?"
"Well she did when she first got here, but after what went down I don't know now" I really hoped she would keep he promise and come like everyone else is.
"Anyway I'm going to go meet Hales for dinner. Is you in a few days Luke" I say my byes to Nathan and then we hang up.
Thanksgiving is going to be fun. I run a hand over my face and jump back on my bed defeated with myself and defeated by love.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Love you guys always.
