So I can't believe it took me this long to update. I am just terrible but the truth is I have had this written for awhile now just constantly changing it. Even now I don't think I like how it went but I think is as good as I am going to get it haha. Sadly this is the last chapter and I want to thank you all for reviewing it all. So please enjoy the final chapter :))

Brooke opens her eyes slowly looking over at the boy holding her. She is leaving today, she is leaving in just a few hours and she just wants to go back to sleep and maybe miss her flight. She wants to just stay in his arms forever, but she knows she can't she knows nothing she wants it going to happen.

Brooke sits up some holding the sheet close to her as she runs her hand slowly through the boy she loves hair. He always looks so peaceful sleeping but Brooke knows he isn't feeling to at ease right now because he is dreading this morning just as much as she is.

"I love you." she whispers down at him, "I love you so much and I don't want to lose you. I don't think I can handle losing you Luke." She confesses leaning down and kissing him making him wake up some.

"Hey." He smiles in a tired voice and Brooke just kisses him again. Lucas wraps his arms tight around her waist pulling her closer to him and enjoying his morning greeting.

"I don't want to leave." Brooke mumbles in their kiss then pulling away looking at him underneath her, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to leave you."

"I don't want to leave you either." He whispers brush her hair out of her face, "I am going to miss you so much."

"I'm gonna miss you too." Brooke chokes out as tears start to fall.

"Oh baby please don't cry." Lucas begs sitting up with her in his lap.

"I can't help it. I just got you I don't want to lose you." Brooke cries.

"You aren't losing me." he smiles sadly brushing a piece of hair behind her ear, "Just because the summer ends doesn't mean me and you are over. I won't let us be over." He tells her and Brooke can't help but let out a small smile, a sad one but still a smile.

"We won't work Luke." She tells him and its kills her but its true they both know it's true. She is in California he is in North Carolina; they aren't near each other not even close. She knows they both need to see the writing on the wall and admit it's over.

"We will." Lucas tries to convince, "If we want this to work we will Brooke. You just have to want it too."

"Of course I want to Lucas I love you so much." Brooke tells him kissing him softly, "I love you."

"I love you too Pretty Girl." He smiles brushing a piece of hair behind her ear, "This is going to work out because I love you and you love me and we want this to work. I don't care if it is hard or if I only see you every other month. We will make this work because this isn't just a summer fling Brooke. This is real. Me and you are real."

"You're so amazing Lucas." Brooke smiles leaning in to kiss him, "Do you know that? Do you know how much you mean to me?"

"Yeah," he smiles, "because you mean all that to me."

Brooke finished packing her bags in her cabin. Valeria and Summer had already left and now Brooke was just waiting for hers and Rachel's turn. She was surprised she made such a great friend with Rachel, who would have thought the feisty red head with the quick mouth would become someone she trusted, someone she loved and someone she was going to miss very much.

"All packed skank?" she heard behind and with a smile turned to see her favorite red head.

"Yeah bitch I'm all done." She laughed zipping her last bag and placing it on the floor, "Your cab here?" she asks and Rachel just nods yes, "You know if you didn't want to go visit your family so bad we could have flown back together." Brooke teases placing her hand on her hip.

"Yeah because going to see the family was exactly what I wanted to be doing the remainder of my summer." Rachel groans rolling her eyes at the thought, "I mean seriously why the hell do I want to spend the next couple weeks with them in damn Ohio? Why the hell would they want to go to Ohio?!"

"I don't know because they want to torture you?" Brooke laughs.

"I think they do. I mean seriously my summer of senior year pretty much sucked and now they just want to ruin the rest? Aren't my parents grand." She fake smiled sitting down on her bed, well her cabin bed thinking about her summer.

"So you going to miss Kevin?" Brooke asked not sure if leaving Kevin was going to be as hard for Rachel as it was for Brooke.

"Yeah I mean I will miss him but it was seriously just some summer fun. We both knew it was just something to keep us busy for the summer." Rachel shrugged knowing she didn't feel half for Kevin Brooke felt for Lucas. "Plus I mean if I am ever in North Carolina and need a good bang I can give him a call."

"God Rach you are such a slut!" Brooke laughed tossing her pillow at the red head who caught it laughing.

"So what about Lucas? I mean are you ok?" she asked holding the pillow she just got hit with in her lap and seeing the sad look her friend gets thinking about it.

"He says he wants to make it work I just don't know how it will." Brooke sighs, "I mean I know I love him, I know I love him so much it hurts but I just don't know how he can be in one state and I can be in another and us work."

"Brooke if you love him as much as you say then it will work. If you want to be with him you will find a way, you just have to want to."

"Yeah that's what Lucas said."

"So do you want it to work?" Rachel asked.

"More than anything." Brooke told her and felt so dumb when just the thought of Lucas makes her smile like an idiot.

"Then I think ya'll will work." She told her and Brooke just nodded, "So who would have thought our summer would have turned out like this. I mean we actually had some fun times" she smirks.

"Oh yes the lake swimming and gross food was totally enjoyable." Brooke jokes, "Then throw in the crazy blonde bitch with my Lucas and the small pain I got from almost losing him and this summer was just fantastic." She laughs sitting next to her best friend.

"No but the late night sneak outs, the hot sex with hot guys and the whole making a pretty great friend was." she smiled over at Brooke. She was never one for the emotional stuff, Rachel actually wasn't one to really care but she will admit that meeting Brooke was pretty great. Back home she didn't have too many real friends but she definitely consider Brooke a real friend, a true friend, "I might miss you a little bit you dirty skank."

"Yeah I might miss you a little too you slutty bitch." Brooke smiles at her best friend. "But we don't live to far away just a couple hours so you will have to visit and in a year we will get our apartment together." Brooke smiled thinking about all the talks her and Rachel had about going to school together and getting an apartment on the beach after graduation.

"Yes and don't forget our trip to Cabo." Rachel laughed as Brooke jumped off the bed walking over to her suitcase.

"Oh how could I forget." She laughs grabbing her camera out of her bag, "One more picture for the road." She smiles sitting down and hitting the flash.

Brooke walked up to the cabin. She already felt the tears burning in her eyes because this was the last person she wanted to say bye too, well second to last. "Karen?" she called knocking on the office door and walking in.

"Brooke sweetie hi." The older brunette smiled at the younger one.

"Hey I just wanted to say bye." She smiles sadly as she stood at the door.

"I'm glad you did." Karen smiled getting out of her chair walking over and hugging the young girl she saw grow so much over the summer.

"I'm going to miss you." Brooke cried as Karen rubbed her back gently, very mothering like, something she never experienced in her life.

"I'll miss you too Brooke." Karen smiled pulling out of the hug and brushing Brooke's hair back, "But don't think you are getting rid of me so easy. I expect many visits and even phone calls." She tells her and Brooke nods agreeing, "You know I have seen many kids over these summers but you Brooke Davis are special. You are going to do great things don't let anyone ever make you think otherwise."

"I'll try." Brooke smiled.

"I also have never seen my son happier so thank you for that. He actually smiles so much I don't think I can handle it, never use to seeing him smile he is more on for the…"

"Brooding." Brooke interrupts and makes both her and Karen laugh.

"Yes that would definitely be correct." She smiles wiping the small tear off Brooke's face, "Trust in each other Brooke. Trust in ya'lls love and in ya'll desire to be together and believe it will work." She smiles that warm mother smile and it still amazes Brooke how Karen knows what she is thinking without ever saying a word. That Karen very much like Lucas can read her like a book, "You are an amazingly beautiful young woman inside and out and if ever someone makes you think different someone who is maybe a little taller than you dark hair…" she smiles as she describes Brooke's mom, "Just call me and I will personally give her a visit."

"Thank you Karen." Brooke smiled hugging her again, "I don't think I would have gotten through this summer without you. I don't think I could have gotten through a lot of feelings without you here to listen."

"And I am always here Brooke." She smiles and Brooke nods as she lets go of Karen and starts out of the office.

"Umm…Karen." Brooke calls as the older woman turns to look at her, "In about a year there is this thing. It's not really a big deal just something we are all forced to do in our lives and to me is going to be slightly annoying." She laughs with a small eye roll, "But in a year, May 23rd to be exact if I sent you a plane ticket and an invitation you think you could come to my graduation?" she asks and smiles when Karen moves across the room hugging her.

"I would love to be there." Karen whispers as she felt her own eyes burn with tears. She was surprised to how close she grew to Brooke. But she wasn't surprised at all when she got to know the brunette who clearly hides her heart from everyone had such a big one. Such an amazing one and Brooke Davis reminded her of herself so much it was almost scary.

"I love you Karen." Brooke whispered wishing to everything her mom was half as good as Karen.

"I love you too sweetie."

Brooke stood looking around the place she called home for the last few months. She looked at it completely different then when she arrived. The old broken picnic table that first made her think you would get splinters just looking at it made her smile since that was the first place she talked to Lucas. The gross lake that ok she won't lie still grossed her out but now looking at it she saw her and Rachel laughing and joking as they laid on the dock tanning. Then the old cold and damp cabins she looked at and definitely smiled at because that cabin right down the hill from her, the one that she didn't even notice when she arrived held all the best memories. Though it had a few sad once like the one seeing Lucas kiss Peyton kind of sucked but then the one where she slept with Lucas for the first time or the one where she heard someone tell her they loved her for the first time, those memories were definitely the best.

"That's everything." Lucas said putting the last of his girlfriend bags in her car. Brooke tore her eyes away from the cabin and everything to look at the boy next to her, her body instantly in his arms as he held her tight.

"Tell me this is going to work again." she begged wanting to hear just one more time it would all be ok, they would be ok.

"This is going to work." He tells her kissing the top of her head as he ran his hand slowly up and down her back, "I swear this will work."

"I love you so much Lucas." she tells him pulling her head off his chest too look at him, "So much."

"I know I love you too Pretty Girl." He smiles leaning down and kissing her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled her close to him as he deepened their kiss but frowned a little when he started to taste her tears. He hated when she cried. They both slowly pulled away leaning their head against each other as both hearts raced, "Please don't be cry."

"I'm trying not to. I just feel like this will be the last time I have you holding me like this. Kiss me like that and tell me you love me and that last night was our last time ever making love. I am trying so hard to shake that feeling Luke but its hard." she whispers to him. She knows she never really gets what she wants in her life. She never gets really anything that she wants, of course she can snap her fingers and get a new car, or clothes or any material thing but that wasn't what she wanted, what she wanted was love and it just hurt knowing she found it and could be losing it so quick just because of being miles away.

"Nothing is going to be the last time, I promise you that Pretty Girl." He smiles, it's a sad smile because it hurt him knowing she was hurting but it was still a smile as he leaned down kissing her again, "I love you Brooke Davis."

"I love you too Lucas Scott." She whispered back as he pulled back kissing her forehead and she closed her eyes tight when she heard the driver tell her they needed to head to the airport, "One more time please."

"Brooke…"

"Please Luke just one more time." she needed to hear it one more time. She just wanted him to tell her and then she would kiss him get in the car and leave but she needed to hear it one more time.

"We are going to work. We are going to be ok because I love you so much and I will not lose you. Not lose you over something as dumb as a few hundred miles. Soon you will graduate and soon we will be back together. Soon you will be back in my arms." He told her and see nodded leaning up kissing him, tell him she loved him too one last time before pulling back.

She gave him one last smile before climbing in the limo her dad had sent her to take her to airport and shutting the door. She closed her eyes tight as a tear slipped down her cheek and wished to everything this pain would stop. She heard her side door opened and turned her head quickly when she felt someone slid in next to her, "Lucas?" she questioned not sure what he was doing, "What are you doing?" she asked as the car started to move, "Are you going to the airport with me?"

"Yup I am." he smiled at her, "Then I am going to get on the plane at the airport and ride all the way to California with you."

"You are?!" she smiled hoping to everything he wasn't playing a really mean joke on her.

"I am." he smiled and Brooke squealed jumping in his lap kissing him, "I figured I had three more weeks before school started and a beautiful girlfriend that I would so much rather spend them with than alone in Tree Hill." he explained loving the smile on his girlfriends face, well he loved it until she hit him hard on the chest, "Hey what was that for?" he asked rubbing his chest thinking this would make her happy not hit him.

"That's for knowing all day you were coming with me but making me cry for nothing." She pouted crossing her arms over her chest as he laughed placing his hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry baby I wanted it to be a surprise but if you want me to stay I can just drop you off and go home. Here let me tell the driver real quick." He teased reaching his hand up to hit the button to lower the window but she grabbed his hand stopping it.

"Don't you dare." She grinned leaning down kissing him. She wrapped her arms tight around his neck as his tongue grazed her bottom lip begging to deepen their kiss that she gladly allowed. She grinded her body against him as she sat in his lap and giggled some when he let out a small grunt, "How far is the airport from here?" she mumbled against his lips as he flipped them over on the black leather seat so he was on top of her.

"At least an hour." He grinned in their kiss making her smile.

"I love you Luke." She smiled pulling away long enough to see his smile.

"I love you too Pretty Girl." He smiled leaning in to kiss her again, "God do I love you."
