The one thing that I agree on is that its very difficult for Lucas to love one without the loving the other...but I sincerely feel that Lucas's love for Peyton is a different kind of love from his love for Brooke. I will admit that Brooke has evolved as a person throughout the six seasons, but season one still holds for me. [Lucas tells Nikki that he had an intense emotional connection with one...and that the other was all about fun]. I believe that Brooke brings out parts of Lucas that he likes, but that Peyton lets him hold on to who he is.
At some points, you're right. Leyton is self-destructive. I think though, that this comes from external influences rather than them not belonging together.
The point I CANNOT AGREE WITH is that Lucas only wants Peyton when he cannot have Brooke. You have it wrong. It's so much easier to understand that Lucas only wants Brooke when he cannot have Peyton. From the very beginning, Lucas has loved Peyton. Nothing has ever changed. [He is simply always hiding with Brooke, as he admitted to Peyton in season one].
I feel that Lucas only wants Brooke when he cannot have Peyton for many reasons...
1. Lucas showed no interest in Brooke until Peyton asked him if it was ok to be just friends. [season one].[Lucas had wanted Peyton for so long, but they couldnt have it because Peyton was scared][He later tells Haley, well yells at her that he told Peyton how he felt and she didnt feel the same. He goes on to say that Brooke makes him laugh and that Peyton has too many issues.]
Thats a settle for Brooke if anything is.
2. Also in season one he clearly makes his choice. [He tells Peyton that Brooke is great. She just isn't Peyton. And how does he know? he feels it in his heart.] He cheats on BROOKE with PEYTON (not Peyton with Brooke). Despite bad decisions, Lucas is a great guy. He wouldnt have cheated unless his feelings for Peyton were real.
3. Now this is arguable, but in season two [Nathan tells Lucas that he has feelings for a certain girl and that he needs to tell her. Sigh. He goes to Brooke's and finds Felix there. But couldnt it be that he knows Peyton doesn't want to hurt Brooke again. [Recall how Peyton broke it off with Lucas. She says she can't hurt Brooke anymore than they already have, even though Brooke and Lucas werent together.] I think Lucas was reminded of this and knew that Peyton wouldnt easily let him back into her life in that way... but maybe Brooke would. (He loves them both so its easy to settle.) Also, Jake could have something to do with this. [Recently he had visited Peyton and discovered that she missed Jake. He didn't want to come between that.] He doesnt even like Felix though, so it would be much easier to tell Brooke that he wants to be with her rather than her. Lucas was taking the easy road. He was settling. So in my opinion, Lucas goes after Brooke in season three because he can't have Peyton. Brooke never understands how much she hurts Peyton by dating Lucas [just like in season one] and so there you have it.
4. Plain and simple. [Lucas dates Brooke for all that time but it's Peyton he wants by his side when all his dreams come true.]
5. Ok enough! He marries Peyton for God's sake. You're right. She is his inspiration. Two books and three proposals worth of inpiration (original proposal, airport proposal, proposal by the River with the right ring).
"It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning. There are many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again... And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart."
I'm sorry Brucas fans. Leyton forever. <3
(but i will admit that I loved Jeyton. It just wasnt meant to be.)
