Lucas Scott. Best selling author. Son of Karen Roe and unfortunately Dan Scott. Brother to Nathan Scott. And best friend of Haley James Scott. Fiancée of Lindsay Strauss. To everyone Lucas is living the big life. He's sold over two million copies of his book. An Unkindness of Ravens. And he is engaged to a beautiful girl. But looks can be deceiving. Because what everyone doesn't see is Lucas' undying love for the girl he let get away. Sure, Lucas could pass for happy but the one thing he wanted he couldn't have. So, he kept this secret to himself because even if he was to admit his love for her it's not like she would want him anyways. She's moved on. And plus she was the one who pushed him away anyways.

So as he sits in that bar and watches her and the bartender flirt all he can do is watch. And when Peyton starts bitching about the money he finds it as an excuse to get away from their not so innocent flirting. He doesn't want to sit there and watch as Brooke and another guy drool over one another. Because that's supposed to be him. She's supposed to be giving him those looks of lust and smiling at him with her adorable dimples.

So, as he bumps into Brooke at the mall with her new beau on her arm he keeps his tongue-tied. And as he watched Owen dip Brooke and almost kiss her he just laughs and plays it off as cool. And as Owen puts an arm around Brooke's waist he has to hold himself from jumping on Owen and pulling his hands off of her. But the one thing he wants more to do is scream Brooke is the one. Especially when Bevin suddenly pops up and says something about the two of them getting married. Because as he looks at her struggle for words he just wants to shout to the world that Brooke was his one and only. But he keeps his mouth shut, puts an arm around Lindsay, and shakes his head. Because he made a stupid mistake of letting Brooke go in the first place.

And as he watches Brooke at his engagement party. He just wants to crawl into a hole and die. Because she's with Owen. And their laughing and having a great time. He wants to cry when Brooke and Owen give eachother those looks that he and Brooke used to give eachother. And he actually does let out a tear when Brooke and Owen chase Jamie to his room to comfort him because that's supposed to be Brooke and him. But their supposed to be chasing their own child. But he gave that all up when he made the stupid mistake of letting her walk out that door all those years ago.

And when Haley calls him later on that night and tells him that he can't marry Lindsay he asks why and when her one simple answer is Brooke. Lucas quickly hangs up in her face and holds Lindsay tightly in his arms imagining it is Brooke. He was the one that was supposed to make her smile. She was the one that was supposed to be wearing his mother's engagement ring. She was the one he was supposed to save.

So until the time is right he'll remain Lucas Scott. Best selling author. Son to Karen Roe and unfortunately Dan Scott. Brother of Nathan Scott. And best friend of Haley James Scott. Fiancée to Lindsay Strauss. But secretly in love with Brooke Davis. The one girl he let get away.

Because he made the stupid mistake of not fighting for her all those years ago.
