Disclaimer: Hey! Okay, this is my first fanfic ever so don't be too harsh on me. Anyway this is about Brooke and Lucas from One Tree Hill and it takes place 5 years into the future. It's just what I want to happen to them in Season 5. Everything in italics are flashbacks.

I do NOT own One Tree Hill and everything associated with it. Everything belongs to Mark Schwahn and the WB/CW.

Lucas was sitting in his car waiting for his girlfriend of 5 years to come out. As he was waiting, he took something out of his coat pocket. It was a promise ring and as he looked at it, he couldn't help but feel sadness overcome him and he remembered the painful memory that had happened his senior year.

Brooke: I love you Lucas. And I probably always will. But, we go days without having a meaningful conversation and I used 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.

Lucas' thoughts I guess I should have said something, anything. I mean for a guy who wants to be a writer it suddenly seems like no words had ever been written. But when someone tells you that they somehow stopped missing you, you're pretty much screwed no matter what you say.

Brooke cont.: It shouldn't be like this Luke.

Lucas: Brooke.

Brooke: I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore.

Lucas' thoughts See, but there had to be something right. Something that no one had ever said in the history of the world. Something that can change this.

Lucas: Brooke. I'm sorry.

Brooke: Yeah, me too.

Lucas' thoughts That wasn't it.

Lucas wanted to cry, but fought back tears. He was going to give that ring to her on their 4-month anniversary, but Brooke had broke up with him out of nowhere.

Peyton: Hey handsome!

Lucas: Uhm,.. hey Peyton.

Lucas then quickly put away the ring. He didn't want Peyton to find out about the ring or else he was going to have to give it to her and he didn't want to give up the one thing that reminded him of Brooke.

Peyton: What do you have there?

Lucas: Nothing.

Peyton: Okay. Whatever you say.

Lucas was relieved that Peyton just let it go and they drove off to the airport.

Peyton: Aren't you excited about going back home to Tree Hill?!

Lucas: Yeah.

Lucas couldn't help but feel uncomfortable that they were going back to the one place he knew he could see Brooke again. He hadn't seen her in 5 years and was really nervous that it made him want to cry, but again, he fought back tears. As he fought back tears, he wondered if he would ever get over Brooke.
