The Unforgiven

Chapter 29

But I'd stop the world, if it'd finally let us be alone.

You can't stop this girl

From falling more in love with you.

"No i don't. I am not taking part in any of this."

"As i told you. I trust him fully. With all of my heart."

"If you and dad want a relationship with me going forward."

"You'll let this go and stop trying to get in the way of my relationship."

"I'm happy. In love. Just this alone please." Brooke proclaimed.

"If that's how you want it. We'll drop this." Victoria replied.

"We got the wedding invitation and we will be there." Victoria added in. And with that. She turned and left the store.

Me breaking up with Brooke happened simply because she started to become someone different and pulling away from me.

It took place in a matter of months. We became strangers to each other. But that doesn't mean it was easy.

...

"I told you i wanted you to be happy. I've left you alone."

"Why did you send me that text? What do you want from me Luke?" Peyton questioned. Gazing up at him.

The two steps apart in her entryway.

"I wanted to make sure you understood and realized that i care about you're feelings."

"But I have to and will put Brooke first." Lucas proclaimed.

"Stop it. You reaching out to me saying all that."

"Was about you. I love you. I will always have feelings for you."

"Are you happy now?"

"You got everything you want." Peyton proclaimed. The emotion in her voice thick.

The expression on Lucas's face softened.

"Peyton. I'm sorry. I know me moving on hasn't been easy on you."

"I'll never not care about you. You know that." Lucas replied.

Tears fell from her eyes. As she gazed up at him.

She opened her arms and he hugged her tightly.

Eventually the two pulled apart.

"I should go now." Lucas said.

"I'll be seeing you." Peyton said softly.
