Hey guys, this story is how I wanted season 4 to be like…and that means that Brucas should have been together…well this is my way of making it happen anyway. While this story might seem a little depressing at some times it will also be a lot of fun trust me.

Obviously this is a Brucas story seeing as I love them so freaking much, but it will also have a lot of the other characters with it, also I'm not a Peyton hater and I love the Breyton relationship, so you'll definitely see more of that…love the entire Breyley, triangle to. Well enough of my incessant ramble which just for your warning I tend to do a lot, just read the story and you'll find out. Please leave me a review!

Chapter 1: What's left of the perfect days

'Hi…where did you sleep?' her scared and slightly quivering voice asked.

'In my car, see I had this horrible dream last night that my best friend told me she had feelings for my boyfriend.' Brooke let out a bitter laugh and looked at her best friend. 'But that wasn't a dream was it?' she said in her cold voice. Peyton looked at her and even though she knew Brooke was being an ice queen she could hear the quivering sound in her voice, the tears that pooled in her eyes and it was all thanks to her.

'Brooke…' Peyton tried, as she saw her best friend take out a duffle bag and her clothes, she was scared she would loose her best friend but if that would happen she had no one else to thank than herself.

'Why now Peyton why would you tell me you have feelings for Lucas…NOW! When I have so much going on in my life, stuff you don't even know about.' She screamed her heart was beating so fast, it felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest all over again, and somebody was stamping on it.

'Well so have I okay…trust me, but I didn't wish for this okay…I wished for Jake!' Peyton said and the tears now started to slowly pour down her face, she did wish for Jake she did love him, but she knew he didn't want to be with someone who had so much drama going on in her life. So she got attached to Lucas yet again, and thought about being with him, he was always saving her, he tried to protect her from all the drama, and she loved him for it.

'Oh right' Brooke began mockingly 'you wished for Jake after you wished for Pete and then Lucas.' the two broken young women stared at each other, it wasn't so much of a death stare nor was it a glare, Brooke had a look in her eyes that simply stated 'Why', and Peyton looked down too embarrassed to look at Brooke. 'I can not believe this is happening again.' Brooke said.

'It's not okay it's it's not…the last time.' Peyton started already panicking she didn't want to lose her best friend the same way she lost her the last time.

'The last time…do you hear yourself right now?! The last time you tried to steal my boyfriend!' Brooke was no longer upset, well she was but her anger got the better of her and she could hear herself screaming yet again.

'He's on the door Peyton! He's on the DAMN DOOR!' Brooke yelled as she walked over to the door she had written boy names on and father names, she had made those lists in attempt to cheer Peyton up and look where it got her she let her hand freely collide with the door where Lucas was written in white letters. 'Under me!'

'I don't want to steal him okay.' Brooke's eyes were full of furry.

'But you like him.' She said almost as if she was disgusted by the thought, which she was she envied Peyton in that exact moment.

'Brooke I'm not going to do anything about it okay…I'll just bury it!' Peyton tried to reason with the girl she had come to see as her sister in the years she had known her. This couldn't be happening she couldn't lose her she needed her, Brooke was the only who had been there for her trough out everything.

'You can't okay…it's out it's like the time capsule. And you could've buried it and not said anything to me, so what is that about?' Brooke asked.

'I don't know alright…I just I wanted to be honest with you alright, I didn't want to make the same mistake I did last time. And you know what you even said last night at Tric that you really didn't miss him.' Peyton's words she wanted to say after went back into her when a full blow reached her face and made her entire facet turn around she instinctively held her burning cheek and felt even more tears pour down her cheeks.

'Don't you dare!' Brooke said with a bloodcurdling voice, her own tears were now also making their way down her delicate cheeks.

'Don't you dare twist my words around to make yourself feel like you're not a backstabbing two-faced bitch Peyton! Because you are and you know it.' Were her last words as she grabbed her duffle bag and practically ran out of her best friend's room leaving her behind with all the guilt in her.

That conversation had been a few weeks ago, and now her she was sharing a bedroom with her former enemy crying herself to sleep, as she thought of everything that had happened the last few weeks. Brooke looked at the red numbers on the alarm and knew she wasn't going to get any sleep so she got up out of bed walked over to the chair and grabbed his grey sweater, the one he always wore and she refused to give back, Peyton probably had all of him she didn't know if they were together or not though and she wanted some of him to, even if it meant the faint smell of his cologne and his shampoo, which was slowly yet surely weakening.

She grabbed a book with her and walked outside needing some fresh air. Brooke opened the door that led to the porch and as she did a cold breeze came blowing through the crack, Brooke shivered slightly and made her way outside. She sat down and opened the book she had opened so many times before. A tear immediately made its way down her delicate cheek. There they were happy and care free, she laughed bitterly how much things had changed. In a short period of time, she had lost a boyfriend and a best friend/ sister.

Brooke looked at the picture it was of her and Lucas, they were walking down the streets in Tree Hill and they were so happy kissing each other laughing and holding hands, it had been a perfect day for both of them. Peyton and Jake had seen them and Peyton had taken a picture which she later gave to Brooke. Everything was perfect back then, how could it all change in matter of a blink. Brooke looked at the text that was written next to the picture and while she did so a tear fell on the page. She hadn't even noticed she was crying.

My bounty is as deep as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.

William Shakespeare

I love you Brooke,

Love your Broody.

Brooke closed the scrap book with a loud thud and sobbed, her hand went up to her chest as if it was a desperate matter for her to hold her heart, to hold it so it would stop hurting, sadly it didn't. She sat there and stared into space wanting a sign, needing some hope, she was broken and at this moment Brooke didn't know if she would ever be okay.

Morning came a little too soon, for Lucas he rubbed his hands through his tired eyes trying to rid himself of the sleep he desperately needed, but ever since he and Brooke broke up he couldn't sleep more than fours. Someone knocked on his door and he hoped it would be who he wanted it to be, he walked over to the door and was slightly disappointed when he saw it wasn't Brooke, but in fact his brother and his pregnant best friend. 'Hey guys…you're here early.' Lucas said as he opened the door for them.

'Yeah we thought we'd get some breakfast you know the three of us, we haven't really talked in a while so…' Nathan began, and stepped inside of his brother's dark room. He had been kind of depressed lately ever since Brooke broke up with him, he had been out of the game and he had been dozing of in classes.

'So Luke I'm sorry to mention this, but did you tell Brooke already that you can't live without her?' Haley said as she walked out of Lucas's room and towards the kitchen, she was craving some serious chocolate.

Lucas and Nathan both followed and Nathan closed his eyes when he heard Haley ask Lucas such a touchy question.

'What…Hales…what the hell you're supposed to have my back and that means not asking such stupid questions…' Lucas said while sitting down.

'Sorry Luke those hormones make her blurt everything out…she told me that I drool a little in my sleep.' Nathan said while patting his brother's back pathetically.

Lucas laughed out loud and looked up to see Nathan nod embarrassedly, 'I know dude…I know.' Nathan said and Lucas looked back at his best friend who was digging as a crazy person through the cupboards.

'I'm not going to tell Brooke anything, for once she can fight for me…' Lucas said and Nathan just nodded and Haley didn't even look up anymore.
