Brooke's p.o.v
Endangered species, unfinished short life, take a bow. Spread your wings and then fly away. Healing hands of fate, anesthesia never gives you the time of day. Never seeing the sunrise again, always and forever deceased beloved one, rest in peace. Smile down on me from heaven. I am never alone because your spirit is with me. And yet I still miss you.

Situation: Alone, Brooke enjoys one pretty Fall Day at the park. Deep in thought, she sits on a bench while leaves fall around her. An old familiar face sits across from her.
Austin Johnson (to Brooke): Today is a beautiful just like you
Brooke (caught off guard): Austin
Austin (holding Brooke's hand): I came back to Tree Hill for you, Brooke Davis
Brooke (resisting Austin): I remember you found another love
Austin: I made a mistake. I apologize for being blind to the truth.
Brooke (choked up): I loved you. I wanted you to want me.
Austin: How about we start over right now?
Brooke (in denial): You're too late. I have already moved on.
Austin: Why are you unhappy if you have moved on?
Brooke (crying): My daughter committed suicide in April
Austin (sympathetic, he embraces Brooke): I am sorry for your loss
Brooke (sobbing): I was pregnant with your baby. I miscarried our son shortly before True's death. I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. I was told I could never have more babies.
Austin (heartbroken): You were pregnant?! You had a miscarriage?!
Brooke (sniffling): Yes
Austin (emotional, he touches Brooke's cheek): I apologize for not being there for you. I am such a jerk. I wish I knew what was going on sooner.
Brooke (removes Austin's hand): I forgive you. Besides, I didn't want you to see me in that predicament.
Austin (looking up at the sky): If our son was alive, I wonder what his name would've been?
Brooke (spots a Bluejay bird flying): His name would've been Jay
