"Ok I vote a road trip." Liam said as him and his friends walked into his dorm room.
"Dude you always vote a road trip." Nathan laughed throwing him a water from the fridge.
"I know but this time I am serious, this is our summer before senior year in college and we haven't had a road trip since freshman year spring break." Liam groaned with frustration, he always wanted to go on a road trip but his friends always found a way to talk him out of it.
"I don't know man; we seem to get in trouble on your road trips." Lucas laughed as he fell back onto his bed "Plus I am broke."
"Ok true but what if we could find a way to go somewhere for sometime over the summer I bet we could think of something. Nate you can even bring Haley." Liam suggested.
"Yeah I bet she would love to ride down somewhere with us four." Nathan laughed looking around the room at his three best friends, well two best friends and brother.
"Hey she loves us." Grayson defended.
"Yes she loves us but loving us and spending time alone with us in a hotel room is completely different." Nathan explained "I mean look at us would you want to be trapped with us if you were a girl?"
"No I guess you're right." Grayson laughed as he grabbed himself a drink.
"But I still want to do something, I mean you and Luke have gotten boring. You're with Haley all the time and since Lucas and Jackie broke up he just broods more than normal we have got to get you out of North Carolina." Liam laughed getting a punch from Lucas.
"I don't brood." He protested as everyone just laughed "Ok maybe I do but not the point, I date a girl since senior year of high school and then she breaks up with me for some lame ass guy who wears pants tighter then hers, I mean wouldn't you be pissed."
"I would just be pissed you missed out on all the fun one night stands you are suppose to have in college." Grayson laughed as he took a sip of his drink.
"Yeah that's true, because you missed out on a hell of a lot of fun."
"Hey Nathan has been with Haley since high school and I don't see ya'll busting his chops." Lucas said a little annoyed.
"Well that's because we like Hales she is like one of us, Jackie always acted like she was above us which was annoying as hell." Liam shrugged
"Sorry man but I will definitely agree with Liam on this one." Grayson nodded with agreement.
"Yeah but still…" Lucas said but paused "Ok you are right she was a bitch." He said making everyone laugh.
"You know I think we could go somewhere this summer..." Nathan grinned feeling dumb he hadn't thought of it sooner.
"Where?" Liam asked.
"Well it's a place where Hales would be all for going, we could probably stay as long as we wanted and it's free." Nathan explained.
"Hell yeah I am there, where is it at? And how do we get there?" Liam said excited.
"Well it's in Miami and we can get there if Luke makes just one phone call." Nathan smirked as his brother.
"Wait what are you talking about?" Lucas said confused as he brother just kept staring at him with this dumb grin until he finally realized who his brother is talking about "No...No way man I am not going to do that." Lucas objected.
"Why come on if I remember correctly the line was 'Yeah Broody come visit whenever'." Nathan smirked as the other guys looked at him confused.
"No I am not calling her and asking." Lucas said sitting up on his bed.
"Why not? She told you could." Nathan argued.
"Who?" Liam and Grayson asked together.
"Because." Lucas started ignoring the question "I can't just call her out of the blue after 4 years and be like hey remember me we used to be best friends but my bitch of an ex ran you off, but hey can I come stay at your house with all my friends. No I am not going to do it."
"Ok I don't know what the hell you two are talking about but if I can have a free place to stay in Miami you are going to get your ass on that telephone." Liam snapped throwing his phone at Lucas.
"No man you don't get it. This girl was like one of my best friends and I just became a big ass to her for no reason I can't call her." Lucas explained.
"Well if it makes you feel better her and Hales are still pretty tight and she doesn't hold anything against you." Nathan said with a shrug.
"Really?" Lucas said a little confused.
"Yeah, I mean come on man this is Brooke, you know shy, sweet Brooke who couldn't stay mad at someone for long. I mean to tell you the truth she let people walk over her including you."
"I didn't walk all over her." Lucas said as Nathan gave him are you serious look "Ok maybe I did sometime but she was one of my best friends so I just figured it was allowed or something."
"Yeah whatever man but just call her I'm sure she won't mind at all."
"I don't know man we really haven't talked in I don't know years, other than a casual text of how you been? Other than that nothing." Lucas sighed actually upset he lost touch with Brooke she was a good friend and he let his bitch of an ex ruin it.
"Well I say call her because I want to go now." Grayson said and Liam nodded in agreement, as all three just stared at Lucas with a hurry up look.
"Fine give me the damn phone." Lucas said snatching out of his brother's hand. He dialed the number he still knew by heart and it rang three times before she picked up.
"Hello?" the raspy voice asked on the other end.
"Hey Brooke its Lucas."
"Oh umm.. Hey Luke." She said a little surprised to hear his voice.
"Hey how you been?"
"I have been good." She replied "Hey skank get me that in red please."
"Huh?" Lucas said confused to what she was talking about and why she just called him a skank well he thought she called him that, and a little more confused to why she said skank that wasn't like Brooke she was always the sweet never curse, never spoke ill of anyone kind of girl well she was like that.
"Oh no Luke I wasn't talking to you, but umm… yeah I am good just busy finishing school and stuff what about you?"
"I am good…" he said looking up at his friends who were mouthing for him to hurry up and ask "But umm… I was kind of wondering something."
"Yeah what was that?" she asked not paying much attention to the conversation. Not that she wasn't excited to hear from her former best friend but they hadn't talked in years well over the phone they hadn't talked in years.
"Well you know how you said if I ever need a place to stay…" he trailed off feeling completely dumb for calling.
"Uh huh..." she said 'Rach get that too.' She said to her friend.
"Are you busy I can all back." Lucas said noticing she was clearly not listening too much.
"Oh no I am here I am all ears what were you saying? Oh yeah a place to stay, you need one?"
"Umm… well you see me and some friends wanted to go somewhere for a break since its summer and all I was wondering if that offer still stands." Lucas asked nervously.
"Oh well how many friends we talking?" she asked not that she really cared but still she hadn't talked to this guy in so long now he wanted to have a party at her apartment.
"4 well I guess 5 counting me but it's more like two best friends and Nathan and Hales." He explained.
"Haley!" she squealed excited to maybe seeing Haley she missed her friend they talked all the time but hadn't actually seen each other in awhile.
"Yup Haley." Lucas said smiling at the guys like it was a slam dunk. "Well I haven't actually talked to Haley but I'm sure Nathan can talk her into it."
"Is Nathan with you right now?"
"Yeah he is right here." Lucas said looking at his little brother and handing him the phone "She wants to talk to you." He said as Nathan took it.
"Hey Brookie Cookie how are you?" Nathan asked actually excited to talk to Brooke he loved her like a baby sister and thought his brother did her a little dirty in high school.
"Natey!" she smiled with excitement "Ok here is the deal, I love you and I don't care if you come wait let me ask my roommate first." Brooke paused looking over at her best friend "Hey Rach can some friends stay with us for a few weeks or so?"
"Whatever bitch." Nathan heard the girl yell and he started to laugh as everyone stared at him confused and he just shook his head.
"Natey you still there?"
"Yup I am here Brookie."
"Ok here is the deal you can come bring whoever but only if you bring Hales, no Hales no place to stay, well if there is no Haley you can still come but you will just have a very unhappy Brooke on your hands." Brooke explained.
"OK Brooke I will promise to bring her." Nathan laughed "I miss you too, alright sounds good I will have him call you with details." Nathan laughed.
Lucas just sat there listening to his brother talk to his former best friend feeling a little jealous by the fact he was laughing and joking with her like she and him once did, but Lucas shook the feeling when he heard his brother finishing up the talk.
"Ok love you too bye." Nathan said hanging up the phone and throwing it on his brother's bed.
"So?" Liam asked.
"What she say?" Grayson added.
"She said we can come only if we bring Haley." He smiled as the guys jumped up excited.
"Ok well you have to talk Haley into come because I want to leave, I could use a week away." Grayson said.
"Yeah well she actually said we can stay a few weeks or however long we want as long as we make at least one trip to the store for every week we stay." Nathan explained.
"Hey if she is giving us free house and board I will go to the store and rub her feet every night." Liam laughed.
"Yeah well the other thing is it's a three bedroom apartment and she has a roommate, she said me and Haley can have a guess room, but she has some really big comfortable couches and in her word 'if one of ya'll are hot enough' could share a bed with her, but I think she was kidding." Nathan shrugged.
"Well that's fine with me, but what does this Brooke look like?" Grayson asked.
"Umm… I guess she was kind of plain, I mean I love her but it was true. She was pretty but I don't know not gorgeous. Wouldn't you say so Luke?" Nathan asked his brother.
"Yeah definitely, she wore no make-up and clothes that might be a little too big for her. She was pretty quiet didn't talk much too people other than Nate, Hales and me." Lucas explained "But she was sweet." Lucas shrugged.
"Oh so I don't want to share a bed with her?" Liam asked.
"I don't know man I haven't seen her in almost 4 years I couldn't really tell you. All I know is I need a vacation and she is giving it to me so be nice." Lucas warned plain or not Brooke was always one of his closest friends and all through high school he protected her from assholes that treated her like crap and made fun of her and he wasn't going to let his friends do it.
"We will be nice promise."
"You better Brooke has a good heart and I won't have ya'll treat her like you do some of the girls here." Lucas said.
"Yes because best friends or not you will get your ass kicked if you are mean to her." Nathan added.
"Don't worry you two will be kicking no one's ass." Liam laughed.
"Oh he is not talking about us," Lucas explained.
"I am talking about Haley she will destroy both off you."
"She will I have seen her do it before." Lucas nodded in agreement.
"Ok we promise now call Hales and get her to come." Grayson demanded.
"Ok. Ok I will." Nathan laughed dialing his girlfriend's number "Hey Hales, it's me. Umm I have a question to ask you."
