“Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.”

Most people think that our hope, our belief, is misplaced. They think it’s over. It’s already been decided and we’ve lost. We overanalyze and that no one is smart enough to write the way that we think. They can’t see the subtleties; the absolute hidden truths that are there every episode. The reasons to keep on believing even when things look so bleak that people are jumping ship left and right, yet the faithful ones have stuck with it. Through it all, we know that our couple is best. We can see that the best is always saved for last.

So many fans have given up in hopes of softening the blow. There is no joy in that. In order to feel the full force of anything, you have to give yourself to it one hundred percent. The shadow of doubt can take over so quickly and with it comes less enjoyment of the wonderfulness that we do get. We are firm believers. That’s not to say that there aren’t moments of fear. There are. Whitey says in The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most (1.02) “There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of because when you put a face on it you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.” We all know what scares us about this fandom. With a face on it, we can prepare for it. Preparing for it scares us but that preparation helps. We can use it. It can strengthen our belief if we let it.

Belief has been used by the writers of One Tree Hill as a theme for certain couples. In the triangle, that couple is Brooke and Lucas. In season two, they talk about believing in the possibility even when life gives you every reason not to believe. The voice over in Somewhere a Clock is Ticking (2.16) is Lucas’s best man speech. The coda is the best coda in all five seasons for this fan base. An excerpt from it- “Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always, a promise. The belief in each other, in the possibility of love. A decision to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past.” That episode alone is the reason many people hopped aboard the ship. There was so much not said in that episode. Unspoken promises that we knew would be fulfilled. They were too. By the end of the season, we had a declaration of feelings long held and it was beautiful.

Again in season five, when we started to get the amazing scenes of hope, we got an entire voiceover devoted to wishing, hoping, and believing. In Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (5.13), the ending voiceover is, “Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that its right around the corner and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it. You just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart.” From that moment on, we got the, debatably, best scenes in two years. We got the purple monkey parallel and the resolution of the S3/S4 breakup point by point all in the short span of five episodes. So there you have it, both times a major build up was about to take place, the writers used belief as a starting point. The point is- we’ve always been built on belief, as a fanbase and they have, as a couple.

There’s a state of mind that we are in. Brooke and Lucas aren’t there yet. That doesn’t mean that they’ll never get there. It’s just that we’ve never left. They have stopped believing in who they can be together and we never did. Just because they’ve lost sight of it, doesn’t mean that they’ll never see it. It’s been clearly shown that they do see glimpses. Brooke’s inability to hear a hurtful quote from Lucas’s first book in 5.08. Her face as vowels are exchanged at his almost wedding. His face as she expresses her need for a family to him. His need to let her know that he remembers things about her. The fact that it was her he needed in 5.17 as he felt his life was crumbling down around him. Lucas knowing that Brooke needed him at the airport without her asking for it in 5.18. The way he tells her that he thinks vulnerable Brooke, which is what he always sees, is beautiful. The fact that they’ve admitted love to each other and the looks on their faces as they’ve said it. They are all little glimpses into it from them. That’s not going to change in early season six. Lucas dreams about Brooke in a romantic sense. His subconscious knows what we know. That- while being with Brooke would be hard- she’s the only one, of the three, that he could give himself fully to.

“Pull back the shield between us, and I'll kiss you,
Drop your defenses and come, into my arms.
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing.
I'm all for believing if you can reveal the true colors within.”

Missy Higgins’ song ‘All for Believing’ is my nomination for our new theme song. Right now, and for the past two seasons, there is the ever present shield between Brooke and Lucas. The second the defenses are dropped, like in I Forgot to Remember to Forget (5.05), the unresolved feelings come out in full force. Brooke put her shield back up almost immediately but even as she walked out the door the devastation was written all over Lucas’s face. Her words to her mother later conveyed her own sadness, “And Lucas Scott was the one boy I might’ve lost it for.”

“I know you blanket your mind so much that I am blind, but I,
I see you've painted your soul into your guard,
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing
I need to know just how you feel, to comfort you;
I need to find the key let me in, into your heart, to find your soul.”

Love is the key. We’ve heard that a lot this past season. In Life is Short (5.15), Lucas is holding the key up and Brooke comes to the door and knocks. What followed was nothing short of a miracle for this fanbase. They opened up to each other, bared their souls, and ended the night together, as a family. They were to each other what both of them crave. Even if it was just for one night, they made us believe again. Their true colors were showing and it was absolutely stunning, amazing, our shining light in a tunnel of darkness.

“And say you will be there for me to hold,
When the faith grows old
And life turns cold
So if you're cold I will stay, maybe fate will guide the way.
I believe in what I see and baby we were meant to be,
Just believe. Just believe. Just believe.
Trust in me.”

Fate. Meant to be. Destiny. What’s written in the stars. They are all ours. A choice can be made against the will of the world but eventually what’s meant to be will overturn that choice. Manual override if you will. Believe in what you see and have seen for the majority of the time the show has been on air. People who are meant to be together always find their way in the end. The road is long, but in the end the journey is the destination. Brooke and Lucas will eventually realize what we already see and what is already there in the back of their minds, just waiting to jump out.

“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

Remember that. It’s hard at times. The end of this journey could be so worth it and even if it’s not, we still enjoyed the journey. No one can take that from us. No one can take the fact that Brooke and Lucas are only genuinely happy when they are together from us. Find your strength. And never let it go.

The Couple Behind the Red Door

------

When that last shot went through, did you feel it change?
Feel what change?
Everything. I mean, how many moments in life can you point to and say, "That’s when it all changed?" You just had one.

--

--

So, you my date tonight, Luke?
You know, Brooke, you don’t have to act like this.
I know that. But you’re the first guy to ever say it. You do your thing and, um, try to resist. It’s actually kind of cute.

--

She's got this amazing heart, you know?
Sounds like something the two of you have in common... who knew?

.

Listen, you can grab some sleep if you want. I'll watch her for a while.
Okay, I'd rather stay and talk to you if you don't mind.
I don't mind...

--

--

Okay. So why'd you call me, anyway? I'm not Nathan or one of the guys...
Because I knew you'd come through.
You're a good friend to her, Brooke.
You sound surprised.
Sorry, I just... I guess I just figured that you were...
A brainless slut?
No. You're not. What I was gonna say was that I just…I didn't think that you were... that tough. But I was clearly wrong about you.
It's okay. Most people are.
Hey Brooke... call me. If you need anything, okay?
Count on that.

--

And I’m cool with it. And besides, I wasn’t ready for all that Peyton Sawyer/Girlfriend drama anyway, you know. Hey, say hi to Brooke for me?

--

Hey, Brooke! I’ve got something for you.
I know you do, gorgeous.
It’s that book I was telling you about. I though you might want to check it out.
Oh, I definitely want to check it out. I suppose I could read the book too.

--

I didn’t know you could shoot pool.
There’s a lot you don’t know about me.
Really? Like what?
Like… I love it in the summer when there’s heat lightning at night. And up until the fourth grade, I called squirrels squirrlers.
Oh my God. A smile. Is Lucas Scott actually having fun?

--

--

Good. So what’s your take on tattoos?
I don’t know… depends.
Come here. What do you think… about… this tattoo?
Mmm. That tattoo is very, very… sexy.
Right answer.

--

You ever have a tough decision to make, and you wonder if you made the right choice?
Well what kind of choice are you talking about?
Morning Boyfriend…again.
.
I think you’re good.

--

I want to know everything about you. And I want you to know…almost everything about me.
What’s going on Brooke?
Nothing. I just. I want to know you better Luke. So how about, the next time you do something you love, you bring me along, and then we trade. Are you busy after practice tomorrow?
Yeah, I have a date with you.

--

--

Luke can we talk?
Yeah.
Okay, I’m not sure if we have a problem, or if I have a problem.
What’s the problem?
In a nutshell, You’re you and I’m me.
Yeah but if I was you, you’d be dating yourself.
What I mean is, I do what I do, and I like what I like, and that’s just who I am.
I know, and that’s what I love about you
Okay but the music that you listen to and the books that you read, I’m not into any of that stuff.
And I never asked you to be. Okay? You know I kind of enjoy the fact that we’re different.
Okay. I’m sorry. It’s just that you’re the first really great guy that I’ve ever dated and that really scares me because I never gave a rat’s ass before, okay? But I do now.
That’s good, because I give a rat’s ass about you too.

--

Want to hear a secret? I know you do.
Brooke…
I’m falling for him. Big time. Speechless right? I know, it’s crazy but this is like L-O-V-E mad crushed out, I’m in big trouble.

--

--

They’ll be okay. People that are meant to be together always find their way in the end.

--

Look I know I talk a lot when I’m nervous, actually I’m pretty gabby all the time. But my stupid quotient kind of goes sky high when I’m flipped out and meeting my boyfriend’s mother in the hospital with all this going on is pretty much off the stress charts for me. But I’m here for you if you need anything.
Thank you.
And, just so you know. The only thing I really want to see is Lucas laugh again. You know, hear him sing off key and watch him roll his eyes at me when I steal French fries off his plate. I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m crazy about your son. And I hope that’s enough for you.
Actually that’s more than enough.

--

Why are you pushing somebody out of your life who really and truly cares about you?
Why are you?

--

--

His loss, right?
He probably knows that.

--

No, this whole thing scares the hell out of me, okay? But whatever you decide to do, I’ll be there. And if you’re not ready, then you’re not ready, but if you want to have this baby, then so do I. And whatever it takes for me to be a good father, I‘ll be there. Always. I promise you. I won‘t let you down.

--

--

So you lied to me to punish me?! How could you do that?
How could you cheat on me with my best friend?!
Brooke. I never meant to hurt you.
That doesn’t really matter, Lucas. Cause in the end it all hurts just the same.

BrucasplusNaley · 05-31-2009, 04:58 AM

---

Know any good jokes?
…You’re looking at one. Why does everybody lie? You know, the bad guys lie to get in your bed… and the good guys… lie to get in your heart .. And I’m the idiot that falls for it every time.
Hey… Brooke, you are not an idiot. Not even close. You know who you are. Most people don’t, you know. I mean, that’s why they lie. They’re afraid people might find out who they are before they figure it out themselves.

--

--

So, thanks for breakfast. We should do this more often.
Do what?
Be friends.
We are friends.
But we should be friends.
I’d like that.

--

Who do you think did it?
Felix. We kind of… stopped benefiting.
I’m glad! I mean, not about the… windshield thing but… about the rest of it.
Why, because you don’t like him?
No… because you’re better than that.
I miss this, you know. Talking to you.

--

You know, I like Brooke a lot. I guess I have for a long time. But it was OK when you guys were together. I guess I always thought your hearts were the same.

--

--

Well I don’t buy it, Luke. I think there’s something in your heart you’re running from.
Look me in the eye. Tell me I’m wrong. See? .. Now you can be mad at me all you want; you can say your heart’s fine… but till you tell this girl how you feel… Your heart’s gonna be flawed. You need to talk to her Luke.

--

You know how much I care about you, Anna? Because I do. But there’s somebody else. And she’s a part of my history that… came before you… and I’ve been lying to myself about the way I feel about her… and I need to see her tonight. Cos I feel like she’s slipping away.

--

I am who I am… no excuses. But I’d like other people to know that there’s a lot more to me than just some party-girl.
This is from a speech, by John F. Kennedy. I think it could work for you.
This is all about courage. Nobody is gonna believe this, coming from me.
…I would.

--

--

I thought I knew you, but I guess it’s easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. You think you know me, but you don’t, and that means you don’t know what I can do. You see me as someone who has all the answers, that’s not true. I may not always know what I’m doing, but I’ll try to make things better. And when i make a mistake, cause face it we all do, I promise I’ll ask for your help. I can't do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me we can do great things together. I promise if you believe in me I’ll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said that courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures. And that is the basis of all morality.

--

You know you look amazing, right?
Thanks.

--

--

It was beautiful. ‘Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always’.
…That’s Dante. We read him last semester.
And I need to pay more attention in English.
The rest is me.
The part about taking chances and believing in the possibility, even when life has given you every reason not to believe…
That’s what’s so great about weddings; you know, two people come together… and even if it’s just for one night, they make us believe again.

.

I just hope at my wedding, someone says something that nice about me.
I think you can count on that.

--

We’re moving next week…I don’t wanna go.
What’re we gonna do?

--

--

Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. The belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. The covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. The celebration, of the chance taken, and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest’s of the world. And love… will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality… only an announcement to the world for feelings long held. Promises made long ago-in the sacred space of our hearts.

--

So, what’re you gonna miss most about me?
I can only choose one thing?

.

I’d miss the girl behind the red door.

--

I had my mom talk to your parents and they said that you could stay here till the summer. They didn’t… want to, Brooke, but… my mom can be really convincing.
…You did this for me?
I wasn’t ready to lose you yet. So, you, gonna stay or what?
Of course, Oh.. I wasn’t ready to be lost. Thank you.

--

Look, I’ll tell you what, alright; you take the evens, I’ll take the odds. And I’ll bet we can bust this out in like… half hour.
Thanks, Luke.
Anything for you.

--

--

Tell me that was a goodbye kiss.
… I wanna be with you, Brooke.
What?
I’m sorry. I know we’re friends… it’s just how I feel.
What about Peyton’s stuff?
I keep that stuff as a reminder of how badly I screwed up things... With you. To remind myself, if I ever get a second chance… I’d never let you go again.

BrucasplusNaley · 05-31-2009, 05:00 AM

---

Brooke, You got a second?
Sure, what’s up?
I’m the guy for you. I know we’re just part-time, that’s cool. You know, do whatever, have your fun. But one of these nights, you’re gonna realize it: I’m the guy for you, Brooke Davis. You’ll see.

--

There are eighty-two letters in here… and they’re all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer. One a day, but… I never sent them because I was afraid…

.

I was afraid of getting my heart broken again. Like before. Coz you hurt me so bad and… I was afraid to be vulnerable and I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel and I know that doesn’t matter now, after what I did… but I just thought that you should know.

.

This is how I spent my summer, Luke; wanting you. I was just too scared to admit it.

.

.

You can't. It’s too much to forgive.
Well that’s too bad, because I forgive you.
You can’t.
I just did. So you’re gonna just have to deal with it. I’m the guy for you, Brooke Davis… and I know I hurt you last time we were together but-
I love you.
I love you too, Pretty girl.

--

But we’re together now, right? You and me, hm? Means everything to me. We just have to trust each other this time.
Yeah, I know, you’re right. Besides, I have things to do today. It’s pretty exciting, actually. Mouth set up a website for me so I can sell my new clothing line and it goes live in about an hour. So I figure I should make some dresses in case anyone wants to buy one.
That’s really great. I’m proud of you.

.

See ya later, boyfriend… What?
Nothing,… just… feels good to hear you call me boyfriend.
Feels good to say it.

--

--

This is my world, Brooke. Or, at least it used to be.
I have been here before, you know?
I know,… I just never told you what this place is to me.
It’s not just a court… it’s where I came from, it’s where I belong… it’s my world.
So do I get to be part of this world?
The biggest part.

--

You know, I just promised myself the next time I had sex, that I’d be in love.

.

Well, I guess it’s a good thing I’m in love.

--

How’s the fashion institute’s basketball team?
Is there a good fashion program at, like,… basketball school?

--

I wanna be with you, not Peyton.
But why? I need to know why.
Because you… kink your eyebrow when you’re trying to be cute; because you quote Camus, even though I’ve never actually seen you read! And because… you miss your parents but you’ll never ever admit that. And because… I’ve given exactly two of these embarrassing speeches in my entire life… and they’ve both been with you. I mean that’s… gotta mean something, right? And because we’re both… gonna get pneumonia… but if you need to hear why I love you,… I can go on all night.
You did pretty good

--

And how is the most beautiful girl in New York City doing?
I’m great. But I miss you. So much.
I miss you too, baby girl.

.

… I love you, babe.
I love you, too.

--

The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, or stumble and fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.

--

I wish that it was me. I know that’s horrible, and I know it’s selfish but…. I watched you rescue Peyton and you told me you rescued Dan. Sometimes I just wish you could rescue me.
From what?
From all of it.
Okay then. I will. If you promise to rescue me back.
I promise.

--

Look at you…
What?
Your smile… I’ve missed it.

--

--

When I was 6, I went on this camping trip with my mom and Keith. It was the first time I had ever gone fishing. And I accidentally hooked myself right through the thumb…
Ouch…
Yeah… hurt like hell. Well… I started crying. So Keith takes out his pocket knife and… cuts his thumb too. He said if we rubbed them together we’d be blood brothers.
That’s sweet.
Now whenever I look at that scar… I can remember that time… And feel good. But what about my mom? You know, you said… that everybody will heal… eventually. But what if she doesn’t? I mean… she’s just so… angry… right now. Tortured.
I know. But you’ve done everything you can. Everything right. Whether she shows it or not… in her heart, your mom knows you’re there for her. Promise.
So what do I do now?
I dunno. Have faith that she’s gonna get better.

--

What are you thinking about?
Brooke.

--

Hey pretty girl.
Hi boyfriend. I missed you.
I missed you, too. This place looks amazing. You did good, Brooke.

--

--

It’s good to be home.

--

Look, Brooke I need you to listen to me, okay? I’m sorry you didn’t know about the kiss and I’m sorry for springing it on you but I meant what I said. It didn’t mean anything.
A kiss always means something.
Okay, you’re right but it wasn’t a romantic moment! And you would know that if-
If what, I was there? As you so sweetly pointed out at the party- the party that I threw for you- I wasn’t there, was I?
Is it possible for you to forgive me? I forgave you.
For what?
For sleeping with Chris Keller.
You know what Lucas, I loved you for that. You had such grace in that moment that I fell in love with you all over again. I can’t believe that you would use it now as a bargaining chip.
I’m not- I’m not- I’m not. I just- I need you to believe me when I tell you that my heart is with you. Part of me feels like ever since we got back together you’ve been waiting to push me away.
Oh great! You kiss Peyton AGAIN and I’m pushing you away!
I love you Brooke. I don’t know how else to say it.
How about how you show it? I am not pushing you away Lucas, I am holding on for dear life! But I need you to need me back! I mean, why didn’t you tell me about the kiss and why didn’t you call me while you were away and why won’t you ever just let me all the way in?!

.

We have to go give our toasts now. About love.
Please don’t be mad, Brooke.
I’m not mad, Lucas. Not mad.

--

--

Well, I have to say even I was surprised; because, you see they do something that's very rare to see in someone our age. Actually, it's very rare to see in anybody; they give their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And, that's what true love really is. It's not this fairytale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love.

.

'Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.' When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at Nathan and Haley and somehow I feel safer. I don't know if I can explain that, but they give me hope. And, I'm afraid say it out loud because maybe if life finds out it'll try to beat it out of them and that will be a shame. Because, we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything’s going to be okay and that there's going to be someone there to help make sure of that. So, here's to Nathan and Haley, and here's to hope, and here's to a love that will not alter.

--

So we never finished that conversation.
Dance with me.

.

Didn’t you miss me while you were away?
Everyday. I was just angry and upset about Keith but that doesn’t mean I didn’t miss you Brooke. Because I did.
I needed to hear your voice. There was just so much stuff going on with me and-
What kind of stuff?

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.

BrucasplusNaley · 05-31-2009, 05:03 AM

---

Hi, Luke.
Brooke Davis.
Hi.
Oh I missed you.

--

Somebody told me that this is the place, where everything's better and everything's safe.

--

So what makes you want to open up a shop here in Tree Hill?
Same reason you’re coaching the Ravens. It’s home. And it’s good to be home. Whatdya think?
I gotta be honest, I think it’s the perfect way to continue the legacy of Karen’s Café. I’m just amazed at how quickly you got this place together. You’re very impressive, Brooke Davis.

--

So what do you two have planned for your life together?
Um, we’re going to be a power couple. He’s going to be a famous novelist and I’m going to have a fabulous fashion line.
But we’re still going to have time to have a big family.
Two boys and a girl.
And I’ll coach little league.
Ooh and I’ll bake treats for the team… Or buy them.
Then we’ll spend our summers in our beach house.
And winters in the south of France.
It won’t matter where we are as long as we’re together.
That’s the key. Success is wonderful, but finding someone to love and having them love you back… Love is what it’s all about.

--

--

Alright, you remember when I started Clothes over Bros? It was right after we broke up and I was trying to mend my broken heart by focusing on my work. And you need to do the same right now. You need to go out there and become the best person, the best writer that you can be, and then you approach Peyton, and if she comes back to you, then you know it’s meant to be. Okay? I’m going to go, and you probably won’t see me for a while. Lucas Scott is going to change the world someday and he doesn’t even know it yet. Bye Luke.

--

You have far too much to lose Brooke.
And Lucas Scott was the one boy I might have lost it for.

--

Do you ever wonder if we chose the right paths?
Sometimes.

--

So you got her a purple monkey, huh? Just like you had.
You remember that?
Of course, I do know some things about you, Brooke Davis.

.

And you're gonna be a great mom.
You think she'll like the purple monkey?
I think that she's gonna love the girl that gives it to her.

--

Well, I should go. Least if you want to get any sleep tonight.
How are the designs coming?
Good. I just have a few more.
Stay. Finish them. I don't mind.
Really?
Yeah, it’s kinda nice.

.

Do you ever wanna go back? I remember being sixteen and everything just seemed much easier. Would you do it differently?
Hmm… I'd try and appreciate the things I took for granted, but… I think we have to go through all of this stuff, you know, to get to the places we want to be.

--

--

Sometimes when you're young, you think nothing can hurt you, it's like being invincible... your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans, big plans... to find your perfect match... the one that completes you... but as you get older, you realize it’s not always that easy... it’s not until the end of your life that you realize that the plans you made were simply plans… because at the end when you're looking back instead of forward, you want to believe that you made the most of what life gave you, you want to believe that you're leaving something good behind… you want it all to have mattered.

--

Thank you for being here for us.
Thank you for letting me.

--

Most of the time, love doesn't really need words, you know?

--

--

Hey, what do you mean you don’t know if you won or not tonight?
I meant, I don’t know if the team won, but I lost. I know that for sure.

--

You got my message? I told you not to come.
I know.
She's gone, Luke.
I know.

--

--

You told me not to come to the airport. Why?
I don't like you guys to see me like this... vulnerable...
That's how I always see you Brooke. And I think it's kind of beautiful... You know, um, I've been thinking about all the things you've done for Angie, Rachel, and me. And all kinds of people. You save people Brooke Davis. It's what you do. Thanks for letting me share that...
Hey, Luke. We've been through a lot, me and you. But I wouldn't have made it through today or a couple of other days without you. So thanks.

.

This is for you.-- I love you, Lucas Scott... you know that?
I love you too, Brooke Davis.

BrucasplusNaley · 05-31-2009, 05:03 AM

---

Well? Happy anniversary, wife.
Thank you, husband. I love them.

.

.

I do love you, Brooke Davis.
I love you, too.

--

What about Brooke?

.

Dude, Brooke's the other half.

--

--

Okay, so, does that mean it's okay with you, I mean, if the book becomes a movie?
Sure. Why not?
Well, I don't know. Sometimes things get lost in translation, you know?

.

You're kind of talented, Brooke Davis.
Well, you are not so bad yourself, Lucas Scott.

--

Do people always fall in love with rebounds?
Every time. But it's not real love. Your head tricks you into it to protect you from the crushing pain your heart is putting you through.

--

It always takes me back you know? Nathan and Haley. My mom's cafe. Brooke. Keith.

--

And Brooke? Those were nice days we had.
Sure they were. Sorry I had to break your heart.

.

.

You just let Brooke Davis walk out of here without paying her tab.

.

Wow, I've been working with you for ten years and I've never seen you tear up a bar tab before.
She's just down on her luck. Mark my words, Skills, someday Brooke Davis is gonna change the world.

--

How is that going?
The director I met today wanted to make Lucas a gang member and have him living in a junk yard.
Sounds gritty.
Oh, but he did want to put Brooke in a mansion in Charlotte.
Now that is a movie I would go see.

.

.

Luke, you don't have to compromise. Not if you don't want to. The worst thing that could happen is for this movie to fail because they went with someone else's vision.
What do I do, Brooke?
Do whatever it takes. Just make sure they tell the story the way you remember it.

--

Let me tell you why you're not gonna direct this movie. Because you can't identify with this world. I mean, I want a director who can recreate the feeling I get every time I step out onto the river court at night. I want someone who can explain to the audience why one song can instantly change Peyton's mood. Someone who can recognize that there are two completely different sides to Brooke Davis, both of which are amazing. I want a director who can make the little things the big things. And you are just not the guy to do that.

--

--

How could you write such horrible things about me? You who called me your pretty girl and said that I was going to change the world someday, huh?
What are you talking about?
Tell me that you didn't write that!
I didn't write this.

--

So the last time you were in love.. ?

.

Now I get it.
Yeah, it was a long time ago.
Where are you going?
If you have more than one copy of Lucas's book, I'm out of here.

.

I'm sorry it's just that I've already been in a relationship that had the stench of Lucas Scott hanging over it.

--

It's Brooke Davis. You're an idiot if you don't try.

BrucasplusNaley · 05-31-2009, 05:08 AM

We decided to surprise you guys with a new OP for the final. It's nothing fancy, as we made the final decision to do it last night- at a very late hour and it's morning here and I haven't slept yet.. because I wanted to perfect it.. as much as possible.

We wanted to tell the journey, since we believe that we got the most beautiful one, with quotes and arts/anis. Now you all can see all of the pretty every time you come to this final thread and be happy, instead of the sadness we've been feeling over the thread closing.

So, here's to the end of an era. I'm told that this thread will stay opened until at least midnight tonight. I hope to see a lot of beautiful last posts. I'll be posting my good-bye after I've had some sleep.

I didn't do this alone. Maranda(it was her idea.) did the anis, Shailee did the arts, Michelle, Tori and I did the quote finding. I arranged. Liv stayed awake and helped me kill the last thread. It was very much a team effort.

.. A team. Because that's what we are. The Brucas League. And that's what we'll always be. With or without this thread.

Please, take a few minutes to sit back and read and enjoy the journey that we went on with BL. It's bittersweet and the end pretty much sucks but it's not over. Really. It's not.

And we must remember that the journey is the destination. And just look at our journey.. We may not see them reach their destination- that doesn't mean they won't get there.

Post away. It's our last thread.

to you all.

- Corey.

LivvieLove · 05-31-2009, 05:28 AM

You ladies did a wonderful job. I love it! Our couple did have the most beautiful story and journey. Thank you for all your hard work ladies. This is a beautiful summarization of the journey.

Thanks for the thread Corey.

StarsWillLeadYou · 05-31-2009, 06:26 AM

Wow. I'm speechless. All of you who helped out did a beautiful job on the opening; it's stunning. It's really sentimental to know that this is the last thread but I love that even though it's the end people came together to make something new for it

Brooke and Lucas' journey truly was the best and that break down of it is really touching.

Corey, thanks for the new thread.

jc4127 · 05-31-2009, 06:35 AM

Ladies, you did a wonderful job with the new opening.

I got teary eyed reading it, not just because it was all the good and bad times for Brucas but also because this is our last thread. The title is perfect because this is the only place on Fan Forum that I felt safe and comfortable posting and now I have no where else to go. I am really going to miss this place.

Brucas4life · 05-31-2009, 06:39 AM

Amazing! Thanks to everyone who helped with the opening. The last BL S&S thread deserved something special.

Thanks for the new thread and I love the title!

It's going to be sad to see this thread close. The posters in this thread are amazing and I'll miss this thread so much. It's not just the awesomeness that is BL that make this thread so amazing, but the actual people who post here. We've all helped each other through some pretty dark times with this show, and away from OTH we've all made some great friendships.

kissed back tears · 05-31-2009, 06:53 AM

I watched the fire cuddle scene this morning and went into such a relapse. I know I'm not here anymore, but I'm going to miss you girls so much! I hope you'll all be posting at the regular BL thread, and if you are, I'll definitely stop in from time to time

brucas__1 · 05-31-2009, 07:18 AM

Girls will we still be able to read the threads? and look at the pics that are posted and everything, just not be able to post, or is it all disapearing?
