Plot idea goes to LPhhrdcLover who has given me permission to write this story from her ideas.

This story is both a Brucas and Leyton story. Most of you know I am an LP fan but this story will be heavy in brucas for awhile.

Chapter 1

Brooke spots Lucas leaving the locker room and runs to him. She was falling for him, big time. She felt like she barely had anytime to spend with him though. They both had such busy lives. Her with her cheerleading and him with his basketball. Brooke felt likethey were drifting apart.

"Hey Boyfriend"

"Hey Pretty Girl.", Lucas says and then kisses her.

They walked out of the school and into the parking lot hand and hand. Brooke and Lucas had been dating for a little over 3 months, and they were both completely happy.

"So I was thinking maybe we could go to dinner or something tonight.", Brooke said.

"Sorry I can't, I promised the Skills I promised the guys that we'd have a game tonight. I haven't really had that much time to go to the river court since I joined the team."

"Do you think you could maybe reschedule or something?"

"I can't Brooke. I promised them."

"Luke Come on. We barely ever have time to spend with each other anymore. Your always with the guys or with Haley or Peyton."

"They're my friends Brooke."

"Well don't you think maybe you could find sometime in your schedule to spend time with your girlfriend?", Brooke said starting to get emotional.

"Brooke."

"No. You no what just forget it. Lucas I can't do this anymore."

"Do what?"

"Us."

"What do you mean?"

"Lucas we never spend time together like we used to.. I care about you so much but we can't be a couple when we never see each other."

"Brooke don't push me away."

"I'm not pushing you away! I have been holding on for dear life. Its just not working.", Brooke said.

With Tears in her eyes Brooke kissed Lucas on the cheek, got in her car and drove away.

Lucas was stunned at what just happened. How could he go from being so happy to so sad in the matter of minutes?

-----

Brooke was heartbroken over what had just happened. She went home to her apartment and started to work on some of her clothes for her clothing line, Clothes over Bros. She needed to get her mind off of Lucas so she kept herself busy.

Mouth had called earlier that day and said he was going to come over to help put together the Clothes over Bros website. Brooke had completely forgot and was surprised when Mouth knocked on her door.

"Hey", Mouth said.

"Hi."

"You forgot I wan coming didn't you?"

"No. Of course not.", Brooke said "Ok yes, I'm sorry. I have a lot on my mind right now."

"Brooke did something happen?", Mouth asked.

Brooke started to get a little teary eyed and nodded her head.

-----

Feeling sad and vulnerable Lucas went to see a friend. Ever since they met they connected. Things didn't work out with them when they got romantically involved but they stayed the best of friends. They were a constant in each others lives and were always there for one another. Little did Lucas know, Peyton was still very much in love with him but was burying it so her best friend could be happy.

Lucas walked into Peyton's room and she was drawing like she usually does. She saw him in the doorway and by the look in his eyes she could tell that something had happened.

Peyton walked over to Lucas and hugged him. She didn't even know what had happened but she was there to comfort him.

-----

"She broke up with you?", Peyton asked confused.

"Yeah that pretty much sums it up."

"But why? She's crazy about you."

"We've been kind of drifting apart lately and haven't had time to spend together. She said she couldn't do it anymore."

"Lucas I'm sorry."

"I seriously don't blame her. I have been so busy lately I didn't have time for my own girlfriend.", Lucas said.

The friends continued talking and suddenly the power went out.

"Uh Peyton, did your dad forget to pay the electric bill?", Lucas asked

"This is an old house it happens every once in awhile. It still kind of freaks me out."

"It's ok. I'm here", he said and walked over to Peyton. "Give me your hand"

Peyton took Lucas' hand and hugged him. The next thing she knew they were kissing and one thing lead to another and they had sex.

-----

Lucas woke up in Peyton's bed. At first he was shocked but then realized what had happened. He looked over and Peyton was just staring out the window and she was wearing his T- shirt.

"Hey you", he said but was interrupted by Peyton's cell phone ringing.

Peyton looked at her cell phone and it was Brooke. Brooke needed her best friend more than ever and Peyton did something that could potentially ruin her friendship wit Brooke.

Peyton pressed the ignore button on her cell phone and walked over to Lucas.

"About last night…", Lucas said

"Don't. It was stupid. It didn't mean anything. We just, we just got carried away."

"Yeah."

"I have to go see Brooke."
