Prelude: Encounters of another kind

Four months earlier

"Brooke, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kiss her, we were just caught up in the moment and it, I dunno, happened" Lucas said scratching his head. "Happened, Lucas earthquakes just happen, finding the perfect prom dress 50 off JUST HAPPENS, kissing your girlfriends best friend, is not something that should just happen!" Brooke screamed back, hot tears running down her face. "Pretty girl, please, don't be like this I love you.im sorry" He took her hand in his and looked at her, with pleading eyes. She looked away. "I'm sorry too Luke, we really had something special." She whispered to him and walked away.

"Don't make the person you love your everything; because when they leave you, you will have nothing"

Present day

"Brookie cookie, what's wrong" Haley James asked. "Nothing tutor girl, why would you think something's wrong?" Brooke said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Well, maybe because you've been staring at Lucas for the last ten minutes and not listening to a word I've been saying!" Haley retorted, her eyes still filled with concern. "Did you hear he broke up with Peyton?" Brooke casually said. "Ohhh, now I get it" Haley was filled with sudden realization. "Do you still have feelings for him tigger?" she placed her hand over Brooke's and looked into her eyes. "Of course not, I mean he broke my heart, he was dating my now ex-best friend, the last thing I should have are feelings for him" Brooke rambled on; she could feel a pinkish colour creeping onto her cheeks. "Busted!" she thought. "Okay if you say so" Haley shrugged and dropped the topic, her minding churning with what she just uncovered. "Whatever, tutor girl, I gotta go, meet me at my car after school" Brooke waved her goodbyes and left the cafeteria.

"She totally knows" Brooke said out loud and smacked herself on her head, once she was safely in the empty halls of tree hill high of course. "Uhh Brooke, are you feeling okay" Brooke heard a familiar voice behind her and spun around, only to find herself facing those gorgeous blue orbs she had fallen in love with. "Luke, oh hi, yeah, why would I not be feeling okay" Brooke mentally groaned. "Because you were smacking yourself on the head" Lucas Scott tried not to grin as he watched his ex girlfriend become more flustered by the minute. "Ha-ha, oh well yeah, anyway, I'm sorry about you and Peyton" she changed the topic. "Smooth change Davis" Luke smirked. "But yeah, she still loves Jake, always has and always will, I just filled the void I guess." "That sucks, we should totally go out though, you know to celebrate your freedom and all that" she said, and her eyes widened in shock at the words that had just 

come out of her mouth. "You mean like a date, he asked hopefully. "No, not a date, I mean with Haley, Nate, Bevin, Skills, Mouth and Rachel." She said. "Oh okay, yeah totally" He said, disappointed. "Well,

I've got to get to the library before the end of lunch, see you soon." Brooke smiled at him and took off. Lucas sighed and slumped against a locker, he was falling for that Davis charm again.

"Brooke, can we talk" Peyton Sawyer asked, as she followed Brooke into the empty library. "I don't think that's such a good idea Peyton" Brooke sighed. "Just please hear me out" Peyton pleaded. "Fine" Brooke hopped up onto a table and crossed her legs. "I am so sorry about the whole Lucas situation, I know I'm about four months too late, but I was infatuated before, and didn't know what I really wanted. I never meant to throw our friendship away for a guy, but Jake had just left and I was confused and hurt, Lucas was the first person I latched onto. I hope I'm not too late to make things right, I need my B.Davis back." Peyton said. Brooke's eyes filled with tears. "I don't know Peyton, I honestly don't know, you abandoned me for a guy, one you didn't even love, it turns out. But I guess if I could forgive Luke, I can forgive you. Its gonna take a long time for us to become friends like before though." Brooke finished, wishing she could just crawl into bed and forget today ever happened. "All I'm asking for is a chance Brooke" Peyton turned to leave. "You know it was always you that he loved" She smiled and left the library.

Later that day

Brooke stepped into her room with four huge shopping bags, she felt she deserved to spoil herself after the day she had. She flopped onto her bed. Immediately her mind jumped back to the day she bought it.

"Aww come on Broody" a smiling Brooke Davis pouted at her boyfriend as she jumped on her new bed. "You know I didn't mean it like that". "Yeah yeah I know" Luke smiled at his girlfriend and climbed onto her bed, trapping her underneath him. "So whaddya say we give this bed a test run" he whispered, dropping butterfly kisses on her neck. Brooke nodded mutely and captured Lucas's lips in her own; he unbuttoned her pants and inserted a finger into her. "Oh" Brooke gasped, tensing at his touch. She tugged at his belt buckle. "Nuh – uh" Lucas smiled, pulling away, "I want to watch you."

A roar of thunder snapped her out of her daydream. "Lucas Scott how do you do what you do to me?" she sighed and looked at the rain that was now falling
