Chapter 2: Understanding and Saying Yes to Love

At The Beach

"Hey Brooke ready for your present?" Lucas asked

"Ya so what is it?" Brooke asked curious

"That over there but there is more to it than it seems" Lucas said

"Lucas its beautiful when did you have time to do this?" Brooke asked curious cause he only just got back a yesterday

"I had some help!" Lucas said

"Okay kinda freaked out now!" Brooke said

"Don't worry Hales helped me and now here is the second part!" Lucas said reassuring her and surprising her

"Lucas!!" Brooke said speechless and surprised

"I am so sorry Brooke for everything and I was hoping you would forgive me?" Lucas said sincerely

"I forgive you even though you had nothing to do with it, it was all Peyton" Brooke said confusing Lucas

"What do you mean by it was all Peyton?" Lucas asked kinda confused

"I mean I know that it was all her idea and she made you do it or else she would do something worse to you if you didn't do it!" Brooke said explaining it to Lucas

"She never told me that she just said she hated me with you and if I didn't agree to break up with you and cheat on you then she would do are relationship bigger harm!" Lucas said telling her a different side of the story

"Oh kay what ever I don't really know why I am still her friend but anyways what were you going to say before I interrupted?" Brooke asking Lucas continue what he was saying

"Um that I was sorry and asking if we could become friends or something?" Lucas asked

"Ya sure and for the second time I forgive you!" Brooke said

"Kay and can I confess something about Peyton?" Lucas asking if it was alright to talk about her

"Ya sure go ahead!" Brooke said wanting to know what else her now ex-best friend was trying or hiding

"I didn't get Peyton a gift only you!" Lucas said making Brooke laugh

"Well that was sweet of you but what are you going to do?" Brooke asked finding it funny how Lucas only did something for her and not Peyton! Maybe he doesn't like Peyton anymore or just cares about me more than her and is really sorry and still maybe loves me

"I don't know that's why I said I had to give it to her after I unpack cause then maybe I could go to the mall and bye something I don't know?" Lucas said making Brooke laugh even harder than before

"Well why don't you just get her a pencil lame ya but oh well or maybe a really bad shade of lip gloss?" Brooke said giving him some suggestions

"I think a pen will work and I will give her one that is out of ink to" Lucas said liking this plan already

"Now you are just mean Lucas Scott!" Brooke said teasing him

"Well what can I say I really don't like Peyton and don't want to be around her anymore and in fact I wish I didn't know her!" Lucas said getting madder by the minute

"Wow were is this coming from Lucas?" Brooke asked kinda scared of him at the moment

"I just hate her for everything first saying something different to you then making me do another thing and all bunch of stuff!" Lucas said

"I see!" Brooke said now knowing what he was getting mad at before

"Ya well I really don't want to talk about her anymore this night is about you!" Lucas said trying to make the rest of the night just about Brooke

"So just curious are you curious what I wrote?" Lucas asking out of the blue

"A little how did you know?" Brooke asked Lucas but she already knew the answer

"Cause I know you and you are always curious to what a guy has to say to you" Lucas said

"Well then you are right I am curious but thanks to Peyton she through it in the fire right over there when you first came back and told us" Brooke said trying to cover up that it was her and blaming everything on Peyton cause she now hated her again and cause Lucas hated her now

"Well all I said is that I was leaving to go live in Charleston with Keith and didn't think I was coming back for awhile and that I was sorry and what Peyton made me do then I said I still and always will love you and then I had a letter for Peyton basically telling her that I hated her for what she did and lots of other things and then I wrote a letter for the both of you saying in general that I was leaving and sorry that I didn't tell it to your face" Lucas said explaining his letter to Brooke

"I still love you too!" Brooke said

"Good to here" Lucas said

"Can I kiss you?" Brooke asked

"I thought you would never ask" Lucas said

They start kissing but don't know they have an audience watching them! Who is the audience well you will just have to find out later in the chapter!! HA, ha I am so mean!!

"That was great so what does this mean?" Brooke asked

"I don't know what do you want it to mean cause it could mean anything to me its just you I am worried about!" Lucas said

"Can we take things really slow I mean really slow nothing in school, public only at mine or your house?" Brooke asked

"I think that is fair" Lucas said he would agree to anything just to have her back

"Kay good so do you want to go to my house or yours and watch a movie?" Brooke asked just wanting it to be her and Lucas

"Doesn't matter and yes movie" Lucas said hoping she would know he ment her house

"Kay so my house?" Brooke asked

"Ya sure and what movie?" Lucas asked

"Do you even have to ask?" Brooke said

"Don't think so?" Lucas said knowing what movie she wanted to watch

At Brooke's House

"Was that a good movie or what?" Brooke asked

"Ya it was good but you tricked me to thinking it was the other one!" Lucas said

"Well I am Brooke Davis after all and I have a few tricks up my sleeve!" Brooke said

"Well then what should we do now?" Lucas asked wanting to kiss her more and more by the second from that kiss at the beach

"Don't know?" Brooke said

"We could always just go for some ice cream or hang out at my house?" Lucas said giving some suggestions

"Ice cream would be perfect and then we could go to your house and hang out" Brooke said proud of the plan

"Kay lets go are you sure your okay with us going together in public" Lucas asked cause she said nothing in school or public

"Ya but in public just as friends!" Brooke said

"Kay I can do that" Lucas said reassuring her

"Good know lets get going before it is too late!" Brooke said

At the Ice Cream place (Near the docks)

"Did you hear that?" Brooke asked

"Ya is someone following us?" Lucas asked a little scared now that someone might be following them

"I think so come on hide with me behind the tree!" Brooke said so they could see who it was

"OH MY GOD!! its Peyton what is she doing spying on us?" Brooke said wondering if her friend still had feelings for Lucas

"What are you serious?" Lucas asked knowing Peyton would use this against them sometime

"Ya it is let's go scare the shit out of her!" Brooke said wanting to hurt her now ex-best friend again

"Kay this is going to be fun I see!" Lucas said laughing a little bit

"Ya it is and if we don't do something soon she might use it against us again!" Brooke said not wanting to use Lucas to Peyton again

"Hey where can I get a stocker of a best friend around here?" Brooke asking Peyton

"What oh hey Brooke what up and why are you here with Lucas?" Peyton ask Brooke not wanting to think they got back together

"I am with Lucas because he just finished giving me my present and know we are going for ice cream what are you doing here? Brooke asking Peyton cause she knew she had no reason to be there

"I was just getting ice cream for me and new friend Anna" Peyton said lying

"Where is she I want to meet her or are you just lying again Peyton like you always do and thanks for spying on us here and at the beach!" Brooke said and Peyton was caught

"What she was spying on us at the beach why didn't you tell me I would have kicked her ass and gave her the biggest bruise and broken arm and leg possible!" Lucas said know angry that Peyton was spying on them at the beach and probably saw the kiss and is going to tell everyone

"Cause I liked spending time with you and catching up with you and Peyton if you tell anyone what you saw here or at the beach Lucas will beat the shit out of you for sure this time and you can count on that!!" Brooke said getting furious with her now ex-best friend

"OH and Peyton we are no longer friends anymore so don't even bother talking to me or Lucas cause he hate you too he told me at the beach and he doesn't have a present for you only me he was going to give you a girly lip gloss from the mall ha, ha sucker!!" Brooke said proudly
