Hey guys! Here's another. I would REALLY appreciate feedback because I would like to continue this story but I don't really know where to go. I took most of it from the last few episodes from the third season and the first few of the fourth. I added mine at the end. It's short but this is planned as the prologue. Please review! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything! Stop rubbing in my face!!

Push Came to Shove, So What Now?

"Look Brooke, I need you to listen to me, ok, I understand that you didn't know about the kiss, and I'm sorry for springing it on you, but I meant what I said. It didn't mean anything." Lucas said, desperately trying to explain it to Brooke.

"A kiss always means something." Brooke said.

"Ok, well, maybe you're right. But it wasn't a romantic moment. And you would know that if-"

"If what I was there? As you so sweetly pointed out, at the party, the party that I threw for you, I wasn't there, was I?"

"Is it impossible, for you to forgive me? I forgave you."

"For what?"

"For sleeping with Chris Keller."

"And you know what Lucas, I loved you for that. You had such grace in that moment that I fell in love with you all over again. I can't believe that you would use it now as a bargaining chip."

"No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. I just need you to trust me, and believe me when I tell you that my heart is with you. A part of me feels like ever since we got back together, you've just been waiting, waiting to push me away."

"Oh, great, you kiss Peyton, again, and I'm pushing you away!"

"I love you Brooke, I don't know how else to say it."

"How about how you show it? I am not pushing you away Lucas, I am holding on for dear life! But I need you to need me back! Why wouldn't you tell me about the kiss and why wouldn't you call me while you were away and why won't you ever just let me all the way in?"

"I'm sorry I kissed Peyton. I should have told you."

"It's not about that Luke. It's not, I mean I thought that it was, but this is not about her. This is about me. I love you Lucas, and I probably always will, but we go days without having a meaningful conversation. And I used to miss you so much when that happened but it never seemed like you missed me. And I guess because of it I stopped missing you. I mean look at today, there was a horrible accident and you haven't even called me...it shouldn't be like this Luke. I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore."

"No Brooke! Give me a chance! I can prove to you that I can be that guy, that guy that you fell in love with. I guess I just pushed you away because I was afraid of needing you too much. I realize now that there's nothing wrong with needing someone. I know it was stupid but I didn't know what to do. I do not love Peyton, Brooke and you have to understand that and give me another chance to let you in. And just so you know, I did miss you; I just never told you that. I will be a better boyfriend, I just need another chance. Life is full of second chances, and I guess it would be my third chance, but, please. Keith told me once that if you want your relationship to go forward, you have to let go of the past, and I am willing to do that if you are."

"I don't know what to say to all this, Lucas. I love you more than I can say, but I just need to know that I can trust you again. I want to be with you, I really, really do but I just need time, okay. People who are meant to be together, always find their way in the end."

"Brooke, I love you and I know that we're going to be together forever. I am going to respect that you need time, and I just hope that you will see what I see in us. I'll wait for you as long as I have to in order to be with you forever."

"We sound like Naley now." Brooke said, deciding to add humor in the situation.

"I know, but I like Brucas better." Lucas said with a smile that made Brooke's heart melt.

"Well, I think I'm gonna go now. I've had enough excitement for one day and I think I'm just gonna go home and stay in bed for about two days and think about all of this over soap operas and pints of Ben and Jerry's. Ok, I probably won't but still, ice cream sounds good. I'll talk to you soon, Luke."

"I love you, Pretty Girl."

"I'm the girl for you, Lucas Scott."
