Listen, I know it’s been difficult for you lately--losing Keith and your heart condition and giving up basketball … I feel like … I’ve been keeping you close to me to try to protect you from those things like I’m hanging on to the two of us for you … but not for me.
I’m sorry I kissed, Peyton … I should’ve told you
It’s not about that, Luke … I thought that it was but this is not about her. This is about me … I love you, Lucas and I probably always will but we go days without having a meaningful conversation and I use to miss you so much when that happened … But it never seemed like you missed me and I guess because of it I stopped missing you.
--
I guess I should’ve said something, anything, I mean, for a guy who wants to be a writer it suddenly … seemed like no words had ever been written but when someone tells you they stopped missing you … you’re pretty much screwed no matter what you say.

Brooke
--I’m sorry, I can’t do this anymore
--
See but there had to be something right? Something that no one had ever said in the history of the world--something that could change this.
--
Hey, ma? … You loved Dan, right? In high school?
Oddly, yes
Okay--look, I know you probably can’t … answer this for me but… what did you do when he didn’t love you back … how did you get over it?
When I do … I’ll get back to you
--
I’m gonna get her back.
Lucas are you sure? … ‘Cause I mean, I--I know you’re really hurt right now but--
--You can’t help who you love, Peyton.
--
All right, uh … imagine a future moment in your life where … all your dreams come true, you know? It’s--it’s the greatest moment in your life and you get to experience it with one person … who’s standing next to you?
.
Who’s it gonna be?
Brooke.
--
Do you think that even exists anymore?
What?
A love so strong that no person can come between it.
I sure hope so. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
.
So, where does this leave us?
Friends?
Friends.

It's a special thing.. saying 'I love you' to people you love. Because you never know when you'll lose them, or when they'll lose you.
--
Have you ever wondered what marks our timing? If one life can really make an impact on the world? Or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives... for better, or worse.
--
I like the red one.
You would. It’s Brooke’s.
--
--
Trust me, I’m sober now.

She was fiercely independent. Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In 2 years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday. And I'm not sure she even knows it.
You’re gonna do great, Brooke. The world doesn't stand a chance.
