I loved him for that...

This story is mostly based on my life, it will most likely be a one shoter, but if I get enough reviews, the story might develop into something more...


My life has always been perfect, great friends, great parents and a wonderful boyfriend. But, I had to screw it all up with my goddamn, confused feelings! I'm so stupid!

It all started when I had one of many fights I usually had with my boyfriend Felix. We were fighting about how he never has time for me and how I always have to be there for him, but he's never there for me. It was a really big fight and I was really tired of it all, it was just too much!

As usually, I went to my best friend, Lucas. I also had girl friends, but Lucas was my rock, he was the only person who never judgedme, he always knew what to do to make me feel better. I loved him for that and I always will. Except, this time, when I arrived to his house and opened the door of his room, he wasn't alone, he was making out with my second best friend, Peyton.

I stood there, shocked, finding it hard to say the right words, ''Oh my... I'm sorry...'', and I shut the door and leaned on the wall of his room. Suddenly, tears started running down my face, mostly because of Felix, but there was something else bothering me...

''Brooke!'', he rushed out, with worry written all over his face. ''I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming...'', his blue eyes were looking right through me.

I wiped away the tears on my cheeks, ''I'm sorry. I should have knocked. I didn't expect to see you and Peyton... making out.'', these last two words came out harder than I had expected. Lucas always had a little crush on me, nothing serious, of course, and I definetely didn't expect him to kiss Peyton!

He put his arm on my shoulder and it sent shivers through my body, it was the strangest feeling. Then, he placed his finger on my cheek, trying to wipe my tears away.''Have you been crying, pretty girl?''

The nickname, the one he used when I was sad, the one he knew would cheer me up and I loved him for that. ''No...'', I lied, ''It's just some stupid allergy.'', I lied again and he could see right through it. There was no allergy and, of course he knew that... we've been friends since we were in diapers, he knew everything about me.

''I'm sure it is... Felix?'', he didn't like that guy. And he wasn't afraid to show it. ''What's he done this time?'', he sighed.

''We're done! It's over! I don't ever want to see him again!'', I said.

''Brooke, you know you don't mean that...'', a voice of my friend Peyton came from behind Lucas. Suddenly, I remembered what I had seen moments ago... Peyton and Lucas kissing on his bed. To tell you the truth, I wasn't so glad about that... Sure, they listened to the same music and they were both brooding all the time, but I never imagined the two of them as a couple. It didn't seem right to me...

''Peyton? I really do mean that...''

''No, you don't.'', she said confidentally, ''You two always fight and you always say that it's over, but you always make up in less than a day.'', she said and interwined her fingers with Lucas'. I can't explain this, but I felt some kind of bitterness at this sight. It's not that I was jealous, it's just, that Lucas has always been my friend and the thought of sharing him didn't seem very attractive. I'm not saying that he never had any girlfriends, but I never saw them as a threat to our relationship. With Peyton it was different, it's like... all of a sudden, I didn't trust her...

''I think it's for real this time. He really hurt my feelings...', I said looking into Lucas' eyes which had that familiar shine they always did when he was worried. I loved him for that...

''What happened?'', he asked seriously.

''He told me that I spend too much time with you. And that I have to choose between him and you... I chose you, Lucas.'', tears started forming in my eyes again, I don't know what has gotten into me, I'm not usually a cry baby.

''Oh, Brooke...'', he said sadly and embraced me into a hug. He wasn't holding Peyton's hand anymore.

''I'm sorry, Brooke. That really is serious...'', peyton gave me a sympathetic look.

Trying to change the subject, i asked the first question that came to my mind and that didn't involve Felix, ''Are you two together?'', it sounded bitter, even though I didn't want it to come out like that. Maybe I did?

Peyton suddenly had a huge smile written on her face and I knew what it ment... I felt great ache in my heart for some unexplainable reason. ''Yeah... We are.'', she said happily.

I looked at Lucas who was trying to act happy, but I saw guilt in his heavenly eyes. It was like he knew what I was thinking, it was like he felt that he betrayed me... The saddest thing is the fact that I felt like he betrayed me, too...

''That's great! I'm so happy for you two!'', I said in my most fake cheerfull tone. Lucas just stared at me, as if he was begging me to forgive him, and I loved him for that...
