There are pro's and con's to dating your best friend. Of course it will be great since a part of you already loves them and trust them with everything, but then there is the what if part. The part where you wake up and you both are done not only do you lose the boyfriend you lose the friend part too. When her heart is breaking from an asshole that used her or broke her she goes to Lucas. Her best friend the only guy she ever truly loved, but is it a love of friendship or a love of something more. Though now she is standing here car parked outside and he is asking is there a chance is there a chance that they could be more, then Brooke and Lucas best friends but Brooke and Lucas the couple. She wants to say yes, because they share so much a past a history, this is Lucas Scott the boy she gave her first kiss too because everyone had kissed someone before her and she was afraid she would be bad at it, this is the boy who beat up some guy because in the 7th grade he made fun of her for not being a girl. This was Lucas Scott her date to prom, her ride to school every morning and the only reason she got to go on spring break with friends her senior year because he was there and promised her parents he would look after her.

She wants to say yes and kiss his him, those lips she had been dying to kiss ever since that night on spring break where they both did something neither spoke of again. Of course they shared kisses on occasion but more of best friend peck, however she doesn't say yes no matter how bad she wants to she just kisses his cheek and says goodbye.

She didn't know that saying no that day meant no to being friends again; however when she called their talks were short and awkward and soon they became less and less often until the completely stopped all together. She thinks about him most days; how he is; what's he doing; is he still in Tree Hill or did he get out like he always wanted; and mostly did he ever think of her, miss her, and want to call her like she did him.

Through the years those wants finally faded not completely but still not a part of her life where her mind is consumed with thoughts of Lucas Scott. She is a senior in college and excited to start her career in fashion design just like she always wanted with her best friend Rachel Gatina. They weren't friends to start more like enemies, but soon they grow a bound that even they didn't understand, a connection and acceptance of each other.

Standing at the airport nervous as hell, Brooke runs her bags through checking and is about to board the plane to her new life. Brooke laughed when Rachel throw out the idea of moving to Miami their senior year of college, but came to realize she was completely serious.

"Come on Brooke live a little." Rachel pleaded with her best friend. Rachel wanted to move far from their little small hicks town in Texas and start over be who she wanted and have fun doing it. Though Brooke told her she was completely nuts at the aspect of moving colleges her senior year transferring everything and all her hard work to some school that she knew nothing about just because it was ranked one of the highest party schools, Brooke gave in because the honest thought of being stuck in Texas her whole life was more sickening then being stuck in Tree Hill her whole life.

So Brooke is standing nervously about to board a plane not even sure of where she is going or what she is doing. Of course her and Rachel been to the school already, rented an apartment off campus with an amazing view of the beach Brooke might add, but now the realization its really happening is scaring the crap out of her.

What about her life here, her family and friends, and most importantly her little sister, Holly. Holly and Brooke were 4 years apart in age, and though they had fights with name calling and hair pulling they were sisters and closer than most. They had never been apart from each other and she was a big reason Brooke debated going. Of course she loved her brothers and parents and would miss them terribly but with Holly it was different, it was like losing a best friend and that was something Brooke didn't want to do.

"She is going to miss you so much but you have to do what's best for you Brooklyn, explore the world before you have a family and can't do it anymore, live your life and be 21 years old. Holly understands she will be here when you come back." her mother said reassuring her, but that was the thing for Brooke, she didn't know if she would come back, and if she did she knew it would be a few years before that day came.

These were things she need Lucas for, not that Rachel wasn't one of her best friends and amazing; it was just Lucas would never tell her what she wanted to hear. He spoke to her honestly no bullshit or cover up. If he thought the guy she liked was an ass he made it clear he thought it, or if she was making a dumb mistake but she didn't think so he would tell her "Brooke no you're not doing that." And on many occasions yank her out of the situation she was in. he had her best interests at heart and even if she would be pissed scream and fight with him about it she would always end up at his door telling him he was right and she was sorry. That's what she needed right now, him telling her that it will be ok that what she was doing was the right thing because she needed to live her life, no matter how much she was afraid to do it she had too, but Lucas isn't here nor will her ever be here and that was just something Brooke had to accept.

"So skank you ready for this?" Rachel asked as they sat in their seats on the plane. Rachel was nervous however wouldn't admit it because if she did Brooke would freak and if Brooke freaked she knew she would be off this plane in a heartbeat.

"Yeah I guess." Brooke sighed as she looked out her window.

"Oh Brookie don't pout, I know you are going to miss Holly but think about this how much is she going to love having a big sister in Miami? I mean really summer vacation people are going to be knocking down our door, and think about spring beak how much fun we are going to have with her and her friends."

Brooke smiled thinking about her spring break, it seemed like a million years ago but she still could remember it perfectly.

Flashback

"You having fun Brookie." An intoxicated Lucas smiled. They had been out all day at the beach just drinking and hanging with their friends, but now Lucas and Brooke were stumbling their way to the hotel.

"Well yes Lukie I am having fun." She giggled as they entered the hotel and on the elevator. "I don't know what button to push." Brooke slurred as she read the floor numbers.

"Hmmm…" Lucas said studying the number "Yes!" he said pointing up in the air like a little bulb went off in his head, "My room is on level 3." He slurred as he hit a button.

Brooke just stood there laughing until she was in almost tears at Lucas who just looked at her confused "Why is drunken Brooke so happy."

"Because…" she laughed trying to catch her breath "Because drunken Lucas, you hit roof not 3." She slurred.

"I did, didn't I?" Lucas laughed as he looked at the lighten up light. Both started to die laughing like this was the funniest thing they had seen in years, when to anyone else it wasn't funny at all. However both rode the elevator to the top and walked out to where pool was located.

"Let's get in." Brooke said skipping over the pool "Lukie are you coming?" she asked when she saw him just standing there not moving.

"Brookie I don't if we should." He said, both were pretty far gone and he knew being on a roof of some hotel and being drunk probably wasn't the best idea.

"Oh come on live a little." She winked as she pulled her shirt over her head and took off her shorts that were coving her bathing suit then diving into the pool. "Oh come on its feels warm, please, please, please." She begged sticking out her bottom lip and puppy dog eyes she knew he couldn't say no too.

"Ugh… fine." He huffed taking off his shirt and walking over to the pol.

"Yay!" she squealed clapping her hands as he dived in next to her. Brooke squealed when he pulled her under water and they started to wrestle. "Hey, hey none of that." She yelled as he started to tickle her. "Lucas! stop." She laughed as she tried to catch her breath.

"Say you love me."

"Never." She laughed pulling out of his grip and swimming over to the wall where he caught her and pinned her up against it.

"Say you love me Brookie or I'll start tickling you again." He threatened as his hands moved towards her stomach under the water; she just shook her head no "Fine then."

"Ok, ok..." she squirmed "I love you, happy now."

"Very." He smiled; neither realized how close they were to each other, until his lips grazed hers.

Neither knew if it was the alcohol or the fact they were on spring break having fun but they both knew they were crossing a line. A line that they had been flirting with for awhile now and ones his lips touched hers she knew she wanted him more than she ever wanted anything. Neither spoke just let their mouths explore each other's and hands do the same with each other's bodies. Soon, both realized what they were doing and who they were doing it with and jumped away from each other. The kiss they shared wasn't a kiss you share with a friend; it wasn't even like that kiss they shared all those years ago. That kiss was full of passion, lust, and want.

They sat there staring at each other not sure what either was feeling or thinking; both waited for the other to speak, both knowing neither wanted to speak first.

"Luke…" Brooke started but stopped not sure what to say, I mean what do you say to your best friend who just seconds before tongue was down your throat.

"We should get inside." Lucas said getting up out of the water and grabbing his shirt.

"Yeah…" Brooke whispered as she followed his lead and pulling her shirt over her head.

Neither spoke on the way down in the elevator Brooke stood staring at the ground with her arms tight around her body dripping wet, teeth chattering and shaking. She wasn't sure if the shaking was because of her being cold or what just happened with Lucas, or the fact that a part of her wished it didn't stop. She threw a quick glance over at him but he just stared at the elevator lights ticking down to their floor.

Lucas thought that this was the longest elevator ride in the history of the world. Every now and then he swore it stopped completely. Once the doors finally opened they both walked off quickly to their rooms, both right next door to each other and sharing a door into each other's room. After a quick night both shut the door and climbed into their bed.

When Brooke's friends got to the room laughing and joking about some guy at the beach Brooke half listened. She just layed in her bed wondering what Lucas was thinking just a few feet away.

Flashback Over

Neither spoke of what happened, just chalked it up to a drunken mistake between two friends nothing more. Their friendship went back to almost normal minus the part where they both would have a look of wanting to jump the other but never did they act, well not until that night Brooke left and Lucas told her he wanted more.

Brooke shook away her thoughts of that night and of Lucas as she realized Rachel was still rambling about something.

"So you see this will all be for the best everything is going to be great and we are both going to love Miami."

"You know Rach, I think your right; I think this is a new fresh start."

"There's the girl I love, now let's get some sleep, because ones we get there we will probably have no time for sleeping." Rachel winked as she leaned back her chair.

Brooke just turned and looked out the window, with a sigh. "Yes a fresh start."
