Brooke Davis stared down at the grave that had held her best friend for the last Five years. She bent down and traced her fingers over the words written on the stone. Peyton Sawyer-Scott, ‘After the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame.’
It was hard to believe she had been gone for five years; the last five years had been some of the roughest of her life. When Peyton passed Brooke had done what she promised she had. She’d began to take care of sawyer and Lucas. Or at least she attempted to. Sawyer was easy Lucas on the other hand.
From the moment the doctor told them that they had lost Peyton. He had begun to slip away from everywhere including his baby girl, but Brooke wasn’t going to let that happen. So she moved Sawyer and Lucas to her house and forced Lucas to be a part of Sawyer’s life. The first year had been the worst but then things started to get better. Lucas began to actively taking care of his daughter and Brooke’s friendship with him was getting stronger with each passing day.
Then Sawyer’s First Birthday arrived, Brooke had planned a lavish party for the little girl. And everything was going well till she noticed that Lucas was missing. She had quickly excused herself and made her way to the Rivercourt, where she found him with a bottle of bourbon.
“Luc-“
“Don’t! Okay! Just don’t!” He said as he took another drink.
She stared at him for a moment before she grabbed his bottle and threw it into the lake behind them.
“No I won’t! Today is your baby girl’s first birthday Lucas! And yes I know it’s hard because it also means Peyton has been gone for a year! But don’t you dare take that out on your little girl Luke!”
He just shook his head at her. “You don’t understand.”
“I don’t understand? I don’t understand?! Damn it Luke she was my best friend long before she was your wife!” Brooke said as tears started to fall from her eyes.
“Don’t you dare tell me I don’t understand! Out of everyone I understand Luke. I understand that you wake up every morning thinking she’s going to be there! That she’s going to walk through the door talking about some band that died years ago. Or that when I go to the nursery I expect her to be their holding your baby girl! Don’t you tell me I don’t understand. You can’t keep doing this Luke! You can’t keep pushing everyone away because you lost her! She didn’t want that.”
“How do you know that?” he asked, quietly
“Because she told me. On your wedding day, She ask-asked me to take care of you and Sawyer to make sure that the both of you were happy. She didn’t want you to be alone….She wanted for you to have a family…for sawyer to have a family…for us to be a family.” Brooke said as the tears continued to roll down her face, she looked up into Lucas’ eyes and noticed that he to was crying. She wrapped him in a hug.
“It isn’t fair.” He mumbled into her neck.
She felt his tears on her neck.
“I know. But we got to deal with it.” She said has she stepped back or at least she tried to step back but Lucas kept a hold or her arm.
“Promise you won’t leave us?” He asked quietly his voice shaking with emotion.
“I promise. I’m not going anywhere. What kind of best friend would I be if I disobeyed her.” Brooke said with a laugh, for the first time in a while Lucas laughed to. Before she could realize what was happening. Brooke felt Lucas’s lips on hers. She returned the kiss but then pulled back..
“Lucas-“
“You said that Peyton herself said for us to be happy.”
“I know-but-“
“I’ll always love her Brooke. She’s sawyer’s brother and my first love. But I never completely let you go. And I’m not about to do that now.” He said as he kissed her again.
It was moments like that one is what brought her to Peyton’s grave today. The last few years while they had been some of the darkest and roughest in her life they had also been some of her best. After that night on the river court her and Lucas had taken it slow, because Lucas was still very much in love with Peyton and Brooke still felt that she was betraying her best friend. But by Sawyer’s third birthday they had worked through all of that and they had officially gotten back together. Now two years later Brooke set in front of her best friend’s tombstone because she had some news.
“Hey P.Scott. Sorry I haven’t been out here much but that girl of yours is a handful. She started kindergarten this year, she loves it her favorite subjects are writing and art. She looks so much like you P, and acts like you to. But there’s a lot of Lucas in her to. You would be so proud of her-proud of both of them. Lucas is doing well. He published his third book. People always leave, even after your death that boy is still writing books about you.-----Today is Sawyer’s fifth birthday and well---I---came to tell you that I kept my promise---and Lucas and I are engaged. I know I have your permission but I felt that I had to tell you. I love Lucas but I would trade the life I have with him if it meant we could have you back. But I know we can’t, I miss you P. sawyer.” She said quietly has she pressed a kiss to the head stone and stood up. With one last glance at her best friend’s headstone she headed back to Lucas and Sawyer who were waiting for her in the comet.
