Dreams And Wishes

Chapter 9

losing your heart`s desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire? That`s all you can hope for

I left the vow renewal with more mixed feelings and thoughts then i ever planned or thought i would have. Lucas knew i was pregnant.

Yet he still asked me if i was sure. As if i woulld lie and keep him close t me by any means needed.

I could feel him slipping away from me. And that made me angry. Confused. As so very hurt.

It wasn't that long ago that we were in love and couldn't wait for the opportunity to express that with each other over and again.

He said i had his heart. That he loved me. But his actions said different.

He changed around Peyton. If you didn't see that you were choosing not too.

Prom night. Changed everything. I was further along by then.

I started havng contractions. I had read up on them.

Something was wrong. I knew it. I felt it.

When i got back to my house. I found an envelope tapped to my door. I removed it. Brought it inside. And swallowed hard.

Started to read. Being caught off guard by what her request from me was now.

Dear Brooke

Ever since we were kids. My mom's death has haunted me. Clung tightly and weighed me down. Affected how i viewed the world and interacted.

I don't my want son to carry that heartbreak around.

I don't want him to know about me. I need you to become his mother.

Make sure the raw wounds we both felt around the word mom. Don't exist.

I'm sorry to lay this on you. To have kept my secret so hidden.

But i needed our time together to be memorable and meaningful.

Without the ticking clock affecting everything.

I love you Peyton

"I need to move back to town." Brooke announced by video.

"Are you seriously choosing. Middle of nowhere Tree Hill. Over me.?" The man asked.

"Circumstances have changed. I'm trying to do the right thing here." Brooke explained.

"You don't owe Peyton or that kid anything. Come back to LA."

"We have our life waiting for us. I'm giving you a week."

"To come to you're senses or i'm ending this relationship." The man said.
