First OTH fic....please review!! Thx

This picks up where season finale ends

Disclaimer: I own nothing. WB owns all. Just an idea I had.

Chapter One

LUCAS POV

Lucas didn't love Brooke. He really didn't.....at least, that's what he kept telling himself. He moved away, almost 2 weeks ago, to get away from it all, but why couldn't he stop thinking about her?

He remembered how his heart raced when the pregnancy scare happened. He took it as fear at the time, but was it that? Or anticipation? But HOW could he know for sure that he didn't love her, when in the deep reaches of his mind, even he wasn't sure?

BROOKE POV

Its all I can think about....

Dear Peyton and Brooke,

I know you both pretty much hate me right now, and I am slowly learning to accept that. But, I need to leave; I need to sort things out. I went with Keith. To live. I don't know when I'm coming back, but I wanted you to know. I need to figure some things out, because I screwed things up really bad. I want to be on my own for awhile, sort out my true feelings. What are they? I don't know. I realize you are sick of hearing this by now, but I truly am sorry for everything.

-Luke

With Peyton, Brooke scoffed at the letter. That doesn't deserve us, Peyton. But deep inside, she knew no matter how hard the shell she put up around her, she was madly in love with Lucas Scott.

And she knew she needed to fix the damage before it was to late. Her fingers shook as she dialed the well-known number.

Hey, its Luke. Not here, but leave a message. Beep.

Brooke slowly spoke three words: "I love you"

Then hung up: no name—would he know who?

WHY did she do that? HOW could she be in love with him? He BETRAYED her! She hated him!

But deep down, she knew better.
