Tobin James, brother to Haley, returns to Tree Hill after being away with his sister on tour. With summer ending and Senior year beginning, he plans to get close with those he once was (Lucas, Nathan, Brooke, Peyton, etc). However, hearts get in the...
OKAY!! Since this episode was Chad doing a tribute... I created my own chapter! All of this lovely stuff came out of my head(:
Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was the day that Brooke Davis became my wife and it was no secret the I was freaking out.
"Is my tie straight?" I panicked, "Do I look okay?"

"Actually... no it isn't! Come here!" Haley laughed, "And you look handsome..."
I took a breath and nodded my head. I got this in the bag...right?
"How's the man of the hour doing?" Lucas smiled, entering the room.
"To be honest, he looks like he's gonna puke!" Nathan laughed, "But, still looks good!"
I rolled my eyes at him as Jamie came running into the room.
"It's time, it's time!" He cheered, turning to me, "Aunt Brooke looks REALLY pretty."
I knelt down near him, "She always does, buddy."
"When did you grow up so fast!" Haley cried, taking me into a hug.
--Ceremony--
"Psst." Nathan whispered from behind me, "Don't blow it."
I clenched my jaw and shook my head but ended up smiling... how could I not? Today was about to be the best day of my life. Haley was the first I saw, again, as she was Brooke's Maid of Honor... she winked at me as she took her place.
"Jamie was right... Brooke looks amazing." she smirked.
I took another deep breath, knowing that the next one to walk down would be Brooke. The moment my eyes laid on her there were tears instantly. A smile spread across my face, which she returned as well. It was as though it took forever for her to get to me, but I took her hands and she was shaking just like I was with my mouth gaping.
"You should probably shut that... you'll catch flies." She joked, quoting what has always been 'our thing'.
"I understand that you both have written your own vows?" The preacher said.
I nodded and took out my piece of paper, "Sorry... but if I hadn't written it down then we would have been here a while." I smiled, which made Brooke do the same.
"Loving you has been the best journey I have ever been on... You have taught me that if you love someone, you need to tell them. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing. Even if you're scared that it'll burn your life down. Even if you're scared that it'll cause problems, you need to say it, and you say it loud. So... I love you, Brooke Penelope Davis! I know it's right. If there are problems, then we will face them together, and if it burns my life down? Then at least my final moments were with you. None of it matters... all that matters is that I love you, and I always have and always will." I finished, seeing tears stream down her face. She had the most sincere smile on her face that I have ever seen. So, I repeated myself. "I love you."
I finished by turning to Nathan for my ring, and sliding it onto her finger, which only made her cry even more.

"I guess that means it's my turn!"She cried out a laugh, and I gave her hands a calming squeeze. "I always wanted someone to fight for me, and to tell me that there was no one else they would rather be with because they would rather be alone if they weren't with me. Now, instead of telling me or saying it... I found someone who was LITERALLY alone and stayed that way until I was with them. I catch my heart aching at how my life has turned out, in a good way. Yes, things haven't always been easy but it got us here, and here is good. I used to think guys like you were impossible to find, like a unicorn! To have someone that makes me laugh, someone that I can trust, and someone that... turns me on... something like this is so rare, but I wouldn't want it with anyone else! I wish I could go back and love you sooner... because I love you so much, Tobin Hayden James. I always will."
"You may kiss the bride!" The preacher smiled.
"Finally..." I breathed, and pulled her lips to mine and held it there.
Everyone started clapping and a few whistled, but I just kept kissing her. I didn't want the moment to end.
Brooke was now my wife.
---Reception---
We made our way to the dance floor and you could tell that we ignored everyone else. We were too caught up on our own moment to even pay attention as we began dancing for the first time together as husband and wife. My eyes were locked on hers and she danced so close to me. I leaned down and placed another kiss on her lips, causing her to smile.
"I am so in love with you, Brooke." I smiled.
She kinked her eyebrow up, "Well, that's Brooke James to you now." She smiled, giving me yet another kiss.
Now, it was time for Nathan and Haley to give their speeches. Haley went first.
"Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. My first conversation with Brooke consisted of me being Brooke as well! But, when it came to Toby, we all knew who he was head over heels for... everyone did! Everyone but Brooke, that is." She smirked, causing everyone to laugh, "But these two, when they finally found each other, you knew it would be okay. They are going to be great together, as a couple... and someday as parents. Toby, I am so proud of you! Sister approves for sure! And, Brooke, I don't know yet... he better treat you right. To Brooke and Toby!" She winked, finishing her toast.
I laughed and got a nudge from Brooke, "You didn't make it THAT obvious, did you?"
"Yes, I really did!" I smiled, pulling her into me as Nathan took the floor.
"I'm not one for speeches, so uh, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. Brooke, you really are incredible and seeing how much you have grown is truly mesmerizing. Toby, I don't know why you waited so long! Really, I have NEVER seen a guy wait so long for someone... but I am beyond happy to finally see that you two came out on top. To Toby and Brooke!" He smiled, raising his glass.
I stood, getting a confused look from Brooke. "I know they usually cut it off at the 1st dance, but I have a beautiful sister that I need to dance with tonight." I smiled, taking hold of Haley's hand and leading her to the floor. She had tears streaming down her face by the time we had finished and I took over the mic yet again.
"Brooke, I love you. So, I figured what kind of husband would I be if I didn't serenade you." I smiled, seeing her fight off tears.

I went to make my way back over to Brooke when someone stopped me.
"What about the mother-son dance?" she asked, and I spun to see Olivia.
