Chapter 3

"PEYTON!!" Brooke yelled from her room.

Peyton got out of bed and ran to Brooke "Brooke what's going on? Is everything alright?"

"I'm getting married today Peyton that's what's wrong I am going to get married today" Brooke says crying.

"Oh honey, don't worry everything is going to be ok, you are going to look beautiful today everything is going to be great" Peyton says as she hugs Brooke.

"That's not it Peyton, I mean how do I know that Julian is the guy. Am I rushing into this? I mean don't get me wrong Peyton I love Julian so much I just.."

Peyton interrupts "Just what? If you live Him and you get that feeling every time you lock eyes and that you feel safe with him then you know that he's the one" Peyton looks down and remembers Lucas and the shooting and how every time she felt she was falling Lucas was there to get her out of that dark place she was in Lucas was there to hold her and comfort her.

"Yeah you're right" Brooke said giving her best friend a big hug.

Haley knocked on Brooke and Julian's door. Peyton opened it and gave Haley a hug and showed her to the makeup room.

"Ok what do you think I should do in my hair? Up do or curled?" Haley asked the girls.

"Mmm I think you should curl it" Brooke said

"Yeah I agree with Brooke" Peyton said

"How do I look?" Brooke asked Peyton and Haley.

"I've never seen such a beautiful bride Brooke" Haley said

"I couldn't agree more" Peyton said

The trio went in for a hug.

"Ok we don't want to ruin our makeup" Haley said wiping her tears.

"You ready B.Davis!" Peyton said with a little chuckle.

"Yes I am P.Sawyer" Brooke replied.

...

Peyton had to go walk down the isle.

"Brooke"

"Yes Peyton"

"I don't think I can do this"

"Do what?"

"Never mind you probably have a lot to worry or think about sorry"

"Hey Peyton" Brooke said holding Peyton's hand. "You go out there and look your absolute best and smile ok?"

Peyton nodded. "It just hurts, that's all"

"I know honey, but you are Peyton Sawyer and Peyton Sawyer has suffered through two dead moms, a bullet wound and a psycho stalker. I'm pretty sure she can walk in front of her ex and rock the house down" Brooke said holding Peyton's hand tight.

"Thanks Brooke. I love you, you know that?"

"I know I kinda like you too" and they both chuckled a bit.

Peyton put on a straight face but she was so nervous to see Lucas and Lindsay. She walked down the isle looking so stunning. Everyone had there eyes on her including Lucas. She winked at Nick and he smirked back at her. She took her place as the made of honor. She knew Lucas was looking at her so she smiled and tried to look brave. Then she looked at him and smiled. At this moment they both felt so close to each other even though they were so far apart.

Then Brooke's father walked Brooke down the isle. She looked so beautiful. Julian was looking at her and he mumbled to Nick "That's why I'm not nervous." Nick smiled.
