This is set in Series 2 but different events have occurred. Lucas and Brooke dated but he got drunk and slept with Peyton at a party, which Brooke found out about, causing her to break up with Lucas. This was only a couple of months ago. She is now with Felix, while Lucas is with Anna. Brooke hasn't spoken to Lucas or Peyton since, but Luca and Peyton aren't together. Haley and Nathan aren't married but are together.

This is my first Fan Fiction so be nice!! Any reviews are welcome! I'd like to hear people's comments on how I can improve.

It's rated M in preparation for what is to come in future chapters! So happy reading!

Chapter 1:

Brooke lay under the covers, awoken by the sound of her phone ringing on the bedside table next to her. 'Felix' read the screen, noting her of her incoming call.

"Ohhh go away!" she groaned, not wanting to speak to her boyfriend right now; she wasnt' in the mood for his possessiveness. Lately, there was something she couldn't put her finger on, but her relationship didn't feel right. But he was the only one that wanted her right now, so she guessed he'd have to do.

--OTH--

"Hales, you here?"

"Luke, hey, what are you doing here?" Haley asked, as she looked up from the sofa.

"I just needed to talk, and get away from Miss Clingy of the year!" he sighed, flopping down on the sofa himself.

"Anna still not backing off?" Haley asked sympathetically.

"No! She's just there all the time Hales! She actually doesn't leave me alone! I feel so suffocated sometimes. I mean, she's just so different to..." he realised what he was going to say and stopped himself just in time, looking down at the floor.

"Brooke? That's what you were going to say isn't it?" she questioned, seeing him look away at the mention of his ex-girlfriend's name. "Luke, have you thought about the fact that the problem with Anna isn't that she's clingy, it's that..."

"...she's not Brooke." Lucas finished the sentence for her. he found it easy to finish because in all honesty, that was the thought that had plagued his mind for the past few days.

--OTH--

'Brooke, why aren't you answering your phone? Ring me back, now!'

Brooke sighed as she listened to the 7th answer phone her boyfriend had left her this morning and it was only 11.30! He could be so frustrating sometimes. She never felt like this when she was with L--

There it was again, that name. That name that over the past couple of days had frequently been popping into her head. That name that belonged to the person she hated right now, the person that had caused her heart to break. Surely if she felt like that, she shouldn't still think of him, should she?

--OTH--

Brooke walked into Haley's, fell back onto the sofa and let out a huge sigh.

"Watsup Tigger?" Haley frowned, seeing Brooke looking distressed.

She didn't need to guess twice though, she had had two people letting out two hugh sighs in her house today and she would bet her life on the fact that they were stressed for the same reason. She just hoped they figured things out soon, those two were meant to be.

"Ohh nothing." Haley gave Brooke a knowing look; she knew Brooke was keeping something from her. "It's just everything Hales; Felix, school, my life!"

"Woahhh, Drama Queen Alert!" laughed Haley, but she was just joking - she loved Brooke, she was more like a sister.

"Shut up Tutor Girl!" smiled Brooke, throwing a cushion at her best friend. She sank back into the sofa, still feeling depressed at the state of her life right now.

"Brooke," Haley started, not knowing whether to proceed with her question, but deciding to after Brooke motioned for her to continue. "Does this have anything to do with Lucas?"

As soon as she'd asked, she wished she hadn't. Instead of replying, Brooke simply glared at her best friend.

"No it's not! Why does everything have to involve him! My life does no longer involve Lucas Scott! So there's your answer Haley, this has nothing to do with Lucas!"

That might have been Brooke's answer, but the look on her face told Haley that in fact, it had everything to do with Lucas.

--OTH--

Brooke sat at home, thinking about Haley's question earlier. Truth was, as much as she wanted to forget about Lucas, he was constantly in her mind; every thought came back to him - how his touch was different to Felix, how different she felt when she was with Felix, how different her reaction always was when she saw Felix's name as the incoming call to when she used to see Lucas's, how --

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. She smiled at the thought that it was Haley coming to cheer her up, armed with chick flicks and ice-cream. That smile faded when she opened the door to reveal not Haley, but someone she had hoped not to see right now.
