This is my new story. It is completely AU but I hope you all like it. The lyrics are The Easy Part by Chuck Wicks and I don't own anything.

:D



Sometimes love ain't enough
And there's times
When just givin up is alright
No matter how much you want it to work
Someone's gonna get hurt

"Brooke I'm sorry!" Lucas yelled for about the 20th time since he walked in his girlfriend's room. He messed up, he did. He was drunk and stupid and made a mistake but she had to forgive him, she had to know he loved her and wanted to fix things.

"Lucas I believe your sorry but I don't think you regret it. I think the only thing you regret is me finding out!" Brooke hissed as she franticly moved around her room not wanting to stop because she knew if she did he would grab her. He would hold onto her and if that happened he might try to kiss her and if he did then she was more than sure she would be screwed, "I thought you changed. I wanted to believe you changed!"

"I did change." He told her walking over and grabbing her making her tense in his hands, "Baby you know I changed for you. I did." She had to know he was different he was better. Maybe once he was for the drinking and sleeping around, but after he met Brooke he changed. He fell for the brunette hard and soon he was doing things that weren't him. He stayed in on Friday nights curled up on the couch with her instead of out getting smashed with his friends. He would stay on the phone with her for hours at night talking about most the time nothing and he even waited months before he slept with her which wasn't at all like him.

He never thought him and Brooke would ever become something serious but something happened, at first the fun just flirting turned into something so much more and because of it he fell in love with her, he changed for her. He changed for the better and with one night, one night of being completely stupid changed it all and it seemed like all the progress he made, all the changing he had done meant nothing, was for nothing.

"I don't know anything anymore Lucas! But one thing I do know is I want you to leave me the hell alone!" she snapped yanking out of his arms and moving to her bathroom but he was behind her before the door slammed.

"I love you Brooke. I don't know what else to say other then I love you." he sighed taking her hand in his and brushing her hair behind her ear, "I made a mistake. God it was the worst mistake I have ever made please, baby please know I love you, please believe me." he begged but she just closed her eyes as tears fell fast from her eyes.

This wasn't supposed to happen, she was ok with being closed off to people, not wanting people to know her, know things about her but Lucas wouldn't let it go. He was around, they talked a lot and though at first she thought it was just innocent fun turned into something she thought was love.

She gave everything to this boy, even though he changed for her a lot she changed for him too. She changed herself and in some ways molded herself to become someone who was she thought good enough for him but she was wrong. She was better than him, she is better than him.

"If you loved me Lucas you wouldn't have had sex with her." Brooke frowns as a tear falls and not yelling anymore because she doesn't want to fight, she doesn't want to argue with him she just wants him to leave her alone.

"I love you Brooke." He whispers leaning in and kissing her softly on her lips and tasting her strawberry lip gloss along with the taste of her tears. She didn't fight him at first and when he moved his hand behind her back pulling her into him he thought it was going to be ok. That even if they had a lot to work through they were going to be ok, she was going to forgive him and they were going to work this out.

But when she pulled back from him, she gave him a look he had never seen before from her. Her once hazel eyes that use to be full of so much love for him, so much life was replace with a dark pained look and when she looked at him with no emotion standing calm in front of him and whispering, "I don't." he broke.

Sometimes it ain't about who's wrong
And as bad as you want to hold on
The right thing to do is to get out
Right now
Before it's too late

Brooke's eyes flew open rolling over in her bed seeing it was 3 in the morning and for about the 8th time that week had the same dream. Yet it wasn't a dream, it was reality, it happened. She dated Lucas they broke up she died a little inside. Pretty much how it went. Even when dating, even in the good times she felt like she always had to prove she deserved to be with him.

Lucas wasn't supposed to happen; she wasn't expecting him to happen. But her brother just had to come home from school and bring his damn best friend Lucas with him and she quickly fell for him, she didn't want to. She knew he was bad news everyone knew it even her brother told her he loved his best friend but she could do so much better, he didn't trust her with him, but she did it anyway.

She let herself fall for him, and she fell hard. She will admit she loved him, they dated almost a year and she loved him but she believes it was more of a young teenage romance. She was 19 and he was 23, he was fun and exciting and for awhile thought he saw her as Cam's little sister, but then the fun flirting, the fun laughing and joking turned into something else.

One night they were out and just at some club all hanging out her brother somewhere around with his other friends and he kissed her. They were dancing, they were laughing and when she spun in his arms to look at him he smiled and kissed her.

Yea the hardest part of leaving
Is picking up the keys
And finding the nerve to start that car
The first night is the longest
You're waking up alone
And you find out how strong you really are
But the rest is the easy part

~Flashback

"Ok Broody I am bored Cam is off somewhere trying to get lucky with some poor girl and I am sure Jason and Matt are doing the same so you get the pleasure of dancing with me." Brooke smiled jumping off her stool and reaching for Lucas's hand.

"Well that was such a nice way to ask someone to dance. Pshh..." Lucas pretended to frown making Brooke laugh, "To think you just want to dance with me because no one else is around. I am truly hurt Brooke."

"Oh I am sorry did I bruise you ego?" she teased and he pouted and just nodded yes, "Ok how about this." she paused brushing a piece of hair back and pretended to turn all love struck "Lucas you are so amazingly gorgeous I am sure every girl in her wants to dance with you but I am hoping, no pleading that you will give me the honor and dance with me." Brooke pretended to beg making Lucas smile.

"Well I don't know now you just seem to clinging." He jokes making her roll her eyes.

"Get your ass up." Brooke laughed grabbing his hand dragging him to the dance floor then turning herself in his arms and grinding up against him. His hands were placed on her hips and she placed her hands on top of his leaning back into him as they both moved to the music.

Brooke felt him nuzzle his head in her hair and neck and got some goosebumps feeling his warm breath on her neck. She swears for a second she felt him kiss her neck but just ignored it thinking she just drank some and was imagining it.

"You smell really good." Lucas whispered in her ear and Brooke spun around in his arms smiling at him.

"Thanks." She smiled draping her arms loosely around his neck as they still moved together and completely missing his eyes casting a glance at her lips.

"You're really beautiful you know that?" he whispered pulling her closer to him and they started to dance a little slower and closer than the song that was playing was made for.

"Umm…thanks." Brooke blushed looking away for a second then back at him and suddenly felt his hand trembling on her side making her not really sure what was going on until he started to lean closer to her, "Luke what are you…" she started to ask but got cut off my his lips slowly pushing against hers.

It was short and sweet and took her completely by surprised but when he pulled away she just looked at him. She stood stunned and when she said nothing she heard him mumble "sorry" and walk away.

Brooke stood stunned for all of ten seconds until she realized he wasn't in front of her anymore and walking somewhere else. She never thought she liked Lucas, she didn't think she really felt anything until his lips touched hers and then she got like a shot of electricity take over and she quickly realized something was there. So she followed him, she chased him to the back of the club where the music was quieter and they were alone.

"Lucas what the hell was that?" She demanded him to tell her. What made him do that because she sure as hell didn't kiss him first.

"I don't know, I just got this feeling and I just let it happen. Without even thinking I just let it happened and if you want me to apologize for it I won't." He told her quickly and Brooke just looked at him "I have had this feeling for awhile and I kissed you because I saw a chance and took it. I have been thinking about doing it all night so I did it."

Again she stood frozen and when he went to kiss her again she smelled the alcohol on his breath and took a step back "Lucas your drunk." She claimed feeling that was the only reason he was doing any of this "You are drunk and need someone for the night and that girl won't be me." She tries to tell him but with a small grin and laugh he shook his head no.

"One I am not drunk and two…" he whispered taking a step closer to her as she leaned up against the wall him placing his hand over her shoulder leaning insanely close to her face, "And two I am more than sure if I wanted someone for the night I could find one. I wouldn't be here in this dark corner with you wanting to kiss you. With someone I know I wouldn't get any from tonight even if I wanted it." He whispers as his hand starts to play with rim of her shirt and he started to rub the small bit of skin of hers that was showing.

"Your right you won't get any from me." she breathed out not even sure if her words were that convincing since she herself didn't really believe them.

"I'm not trying to sleep with you Brooke." He smiles leaning in and kiss her neck softly.

"Then what are you trying to do?" Brooke gasped out as he pulled back smiling at her, making her feel nervous.

"Just trying to kiss you." he grinned and before she could object to the kiss he kissed her again and Brooke felt Lucas's tongue darted in her mouth. Stunned, that was a good word to describe it all but when his hand ran down her body placing on her hip and pushing her hard against the wall, stunned turned into happy and happy turned into want as she let herself give into him.

~Flashback Over

Before long
The phone's gonna ring
And you'll want
To answer his call
But, girl don't
Have the same conversation over and over
So let it be over

"Stop it Brooke!" She ordered herself shaking her head of his thoughts. A year she hasn't had that dream, she has forced herself not to think about him but the last few nights the brooding blonde has incased her thoughts.

He called her pretty much every day after they broke up and if he didn't call her, he text her. But she refused to have that talk again, the I am sorry I love you please forgive him talk. Because she wasn't going to and after months of convincing him of that he stopped.

They are over now she knows they are and is happy she is really happy, for almost 6 months she has been dating this guy name Adam and he made her happy. He treated her right and was an amazing boyfriend. They met in one of her English classes and she really does care a lot for the boy who has pretty much made her forget all about Lucas Scott.

But she does have moments of thinking about him, she does because he broke her heart, he cheated on her and then claimed he loved her but she just tries to ignore it.

They made up they are civil, not so much friends but can get along, yet she is nervous. For almost over a year she hasn't seen him but for the next month or so he is going to be staying with her, in her apartment and she is freaking the hell out.

Cam is coming to visit which makes her happy because she has missed her big brother so much since she moved but he is bringing Lucas. He is bringing Lucas and Matt and then Jason which she is happy to see them but not so much about Lucas living in her house. Not that she doesn't think she can resist him or something because she is completely over him, completely but doesn't want it to be weird with her ex boyfriend around her current boyfriend.

There's an open road
There's a life ahead
But even thought you can't see it yet
Ooo, just take a chance
Pick up your keys
Oh and find the nerve
Yea to start your car
The rest is the easy part

She doesn't know what Lucas feels for her, she has no clue but she doesn't want him to ruining things with Adam and truth is she doesn't want to hurt Lucas. Even if he did cheat on her, break her she still cared for him, a part of her always will feel something towards him. He was her first love, the first guy she ever gave her heart to and also the first guy she gave her body to. She gave everything about herself to him and it just hurts he threw it all away for a blonde slut in a short dress.

But there is good news about this trip, well great news and that is Rachel is coming. Her best friend and Cam's girlfriend and she is so unbelievably excited about that. So for now she will try to forget about the pain of Lucas Scott and him coming to see her and clean up her apartment, because she is fine she is over him.

She moved to Miami Florida for school last year and has an apartment that overlooks the ocean. Though she loves her life, she loves her home and everything she has right now it was hard to leave. It was hard to pick up everything and leave but she did it and she found it was easier then she thought. You just pick up your keys get in your car and go because life goes on; even when you feel like you're dying inside life always goes on.

Yea the hardest part of leaving
Is picking up the keys
And finding the nerve to start that car
The first night is the longest
You're waking up alone
And you find out how strong you really are
But the rest is the easy part
The rest is the easy part
