The week had past quick. It was now Friday night before the game. The week had been torture for Lucas. Everyday he tried to talk to Brooke but she wouldn't even give him the light of day. He would call her and leave messages but she never called back, he even sent her flowers on Wednesday but she still wouldn't budge. Her friendship with Jake seemed to have been growing stronger, making Lucas angrier and angrier. It was bad for Nathan too but only because it was bad for Lucas and he hated seeing his brother sad. It was great for Hales and Peyton because it was great for Brooke. Brooke not only had Jake's attention but now she even had Lucas groveling at her feet. She had even become quite popular.

"You nervous?" Haley asked Brooke as they got changed in the locker room.
"No, I'v done this stuff before so it's nothing new." Brooke said with confidence.
"And what about your date with Jake?" Peyton said criticly.
"Well, I'm not too worried about that because I plan on letting loose tonight, be a normal teen for once." Brooke beamed.

"Oh so you mean your going to get totally wasted and make tons of mistakes that your going to regret in the morning when you have a major hangover." Haley joked.
"Yeah, exactly." Brooke laughed and the three walked out into the gym.

The gym was packed and there wasn't an open seat. Suddenly the basketball team came out running past the cheerleaders and Jake gave Brooke a smile.

"Oh my gosh girl! He gave you the look." Brooke heard a girl say.
"The look?" she asked.
"Yeah, the I'm going to get in your pants after the game look." Peyton said.

But that was when Brooke got nervous. She was a virgin after all. She didn't know if she was ready to go all the way, and even if she was she definitely wouldn't want to with Jake. As much as she didn't want to admit it she definitely wanted her first time to be with Lucas, whom she was still madly in love with. But she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of giving in to him.

The game went great. Lucas had made the game winning shot and Nathan and Jake did great. Nathan and Lucas were now waiting in the gym for the girls. When suddenly Peyton and Haley were approaching them.

"Hey guys." Haley said as she jumped into Nathan's arms and kissed him.
"Okay keep the PDA on the downlow." Peyton begged and Lucas just shrugged. He was used to it. He couldn't even count the numerous times he walked in on them going at it in the bathroom, in the basement, in their parent's room, in the kitchen, in Nate's room. Thankfully he hadn't found them in his room yet!
"Where's Brooke" Lucas tried to ask.
"She's getting ready, she'll be out in a minute." Haley giggled, Nathan was now whispering things in her ear that were making her blush.

"Well guys I think we're going to skip the party. See you at home bro." Nathan said as he and Haley practically ran out of the gym.
"So..." Peyton started.
"What?" Lucas said as he looked around. He noticed Jake standing at the door obviously waiting for Brooke.
"Looking for her"
"No, what would make you say that?" Lucas answered a bit defensively.
"Because you have that look, the look that you have when your thinking about her, the same look you have been wearing all week." Peyton replied.
"So then how would you know the diffrence between the looks?" Lucas retorted and Peyton just shrugged.

They both turned when they saw Brooke come out. She looked absolutely stunning in a short jean skirt and a white tee with her hair straight. Lucas could barely breathe and it felt like someone knocked the wind out of him when he saw her approach Jake. He took her by the hand and led her out the door.

"I can't believe him." Peyton said as she stared after him.
"You mean, you actually agree with me?" Lucas asked, a little too excited.
"Well yeah, everyone knows he's a player and he'll probably just hurt Brooke but she's got to make her own choices." Peyton was surprised when Lucas hugged her.

"Come on, we got a party to go to." Lucas said as he pulled Peyton out the door.

When Brooke and Jake got to the party it was already in full swing. Brooke saw a lot of people outside, people dancing inside, and people roaming around already drunk.
"This is going to be killer!" She heard Jake yell over the loud music.
"Uhh yeah"
"Can I get you a drink?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, just a beer is good"
"Okay." Jake disappeared into the crowd. Brooke almost jumped into the air when she felt a hand on her shoulder but turned around and saw the bubbly blonde that was one of her best friends and the blonde behind her that she silently swooned over.

"Hey friend!" Peyton squealed.
"Hey Peyt." Brooke hugged her. "Oh I just wanted to let you know that Nathan and Haley went to his house to get it on." Peyton and Brooke just laughed.

Then Jake walked over. "Here's your drink"
"Thanks Jake." She took a sip of it and let the cool liquid trickle down her throat.

"Come on, let's dance." Jake whispered into her ear.
"Alright." Jake pulled her close to him, a little too close, but Brooke gave in and they started to move to the music. Jake had his hands on Brooke's thighs and she had her arms up, swaying around her head. Lucas thought he was going to explode. He couldn't take this. So when a completely drunk blonde asked him to dance he accepted and moved out onto the floor. They started dancing even closer than Jake and Booke. Lucas saw Brooke's face drain of color so to make it seem a little more effective he kissed the blonde's neck and just smiled at her.

"If that's how you want to play." He saw Brooke mouth to him so he just shrugged and watched as she led Jake out of the room. 'Well that didn't go as planned.' Lucas thought.

It was now two hours later and the party was at it's peak. People passed out on the floor, people throwing up in the bushes, and others making out all around the room. Brooke was completely wasted and Lucas was completely sober. Jake was a little tipsy but he hadn't had much to drink so he was coherent. Brooke was now all over him and he wasn't pushing her away. Lucas was sitting on the couch. Peyton had collapsed next to him and was now passed out with her head in Lucas' lap. He didn't mind because he would rather her be here with him than having some guy copping a feel somewhere else. Contrary to popular belief, he cared about all of his friends. It also gave him a good reason to stay put and watch Jake and Brooke.

"Woah...the room's spinning." Brooke squealed as she almost fell over but Jake caught her.
"Steady there." He said with a laugh.
"Sorry Jakey but I just couldn't help myself, I need to be closer to you." She said as she pressed herself against him.
"Don't worry, I dont mind." He said into her ear, causing her to laugh.

This wasn't what Jake had really planned for but hey, whatever got him into her pants quicker, right?

Brooke was now on top of a table dancing to Britney Spears' toxic song. She was swaying all over and a couple of girls had joined her and they were all dancing close, very close. Which caused a couple of guys to hoot and holler and Lucas to just shake his head. But that was when Haley and Nathan showed up.

"Hey." Nathan yelled over the music.
"What's with her?" Haley motioned to a now awake Peyton who was just staring into space.
"She's drunk." Lucas said.
But then Peyton got up and headed for the bathroom.
"And about to be sick." He added.
"I'll go help her." Haley said as she followed her out.
"Where is Brooke?" Nathan said, leaning in to talk to Lucas.
Lucas just pointed over to Brooke, who was still on the table. But now Jake had joined her and they were grinding hard, pelvis to pelvis.

"Sorry you have to watch this." "Yeah, me too." Lucas said.

Just then they both saw Jake jump off the table and help Brooke down. They then exited the room and went upstairs.

"That can't be good." Nathan said. "Yeah, I'm going to go upstairs just in case." Lucas said.
"Okay, just don't be so obvious." Nathan advised his brother, who just nodded. Nathan just sat and watched everyone making fools of themselves and then grabbed a beer and went to find Haley and Peyton.

"Jakey where are we going?" Brooke said as Jake carried her up the stairs.
"Somewhere we can talk in private." Jake said as he opend up a door and walked in. He put Brooke down on the bed.
"Are you sure you just want to talk because Peyton said you probably want to get in my pants." She said as she slurred her words.
"Oh did she, well I have no idea where she got that from." He said as he laid down on top of Brooke, causing her to fall back against the bed.

He started kissing her neck and sliding his hand up her skirt.
"Silly Jakey, what are you doing, trying to seduce me?" She said. "Is it working?" "Nope." She said against his ear.

But he kept kissing her, he then moved to her mouth. And the drunk Brooke was liking it. She was even starting to moan as he massaged her chest with his hands.

"Luuuke." She gasped.
"Uh..whatever floats your boat sweetheart." Jake said as he pulled up her skirt.
"Jake what are you doing?" She struggled, trying to pull her skirt down.
"Nothing you don't want." He said as he pushed himself against her and started to lift her shirt off. He struggled but succeeded.
""I like." He said refering to Brooke's lacy pink bra. He gently slid the straps down and kissed her stomache.
"Jake stop." She said lazily.
"Why? You know you want it." He said, kissing her harder and harder as he unbuckled his own pants.
"No..no..I'm sorry...no I don't want to." She stammered.
"Keep telling yourself that." He said as he exposed himself to her and then kept on pulling at her skirt.
"No Jake stop!" She screamed.

She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Why her? Why did she go and have to get drunk and now on top of everything, the guy Lucas had warned her about was goning to rape her.

"Hey get off of her!" Brooke heard a masculine voice yell. Before she knew it, Jake was up against a wall and Lucas had him by the collar. Brooke just sighed. 'Thank god.' She thought.

"I warned you Jake." Lucas said "Hey! It's not my fault she's easy." Jake said.
But he was silenced when Lucas punched him across the face.

The whole party was now watching the exchange between Lucas and Jake, and laughing at the topless disheveled Brooke, who had just collapsed back onto the bed. But everyone moved out of the way when Jake darted out of the room. Lucas turned around and there was Brooke, just staring off into space.

"Get out! There is nothing to see." He said as he shoved everyone out of the room and closed the door. He walked over to the dresser and picked up her shirt that Jake had thrown and walked over to her.

"Brooke?" He asked quietly.
"Lukey." She squealed and jumped into his arms.
"Uh hey, come on let me put this on you." He said as he placed her down and went to put her shirt back on.

"What if I don't want to?" She said as she ripped the shirt away and threw it back on the floor. "I don't want you to wear yours either." She said as she stood on her knees tugging at the bottom of Lucas' shirt.

"Well I do want to wear one, so let's just calm down." He said with his hands on her shoulders.
"Oh Luke, don't act so uptight." She said into his ear as she started to kiss down his neck.

Lucas couldn't pull away. This was what he wanted and he was finally going to get it. Then it hit him. She didnt mean it. She was completely drunk but then again everyone knew your drunken words were your sober thoughts. But no, not with Brooke. He pulled away.

"Brooke stop." He pleaded as she pulled away from him.
"What? I'm not good enough for you?" She sneered. "No I just-"
"Whatever Luke I'm so sick of playing your games. Why can't you just play along?" She said as she stood up on the bed and unbuttoned her skirt letting it fall down to the bed, leaving her in a matching lacy pink bra and panties. Lucas was stunned, she had an amazing body. Lucas just wanted to jump her and make her his. 'Snap out of it Scott.' He told himself.

"Brooke no." He said as he pulled her closer and she sat down on the bed.
"But why?" She said as she hung her arms around his neck. "Because your drunk." He said, trying to think of away to distract her.
"Am not!" She slurred. "Okay then say the abc's." Lucas told her.
"A b k d e r g n o p..." She started to sing. As she did Lucas managed to pull her skirt back up and button it. And he was now pulling her shirt over her head "L o s u." She finished. "See I can say them." She slurred. "Yeah." Lucas agreed. "Uh..Luke..." She said as she wobbled around on the bed "Brooke?" He asked with concern as he put an arm around her waist trying to help her up but no such luck. She just passed out.
"Christ." Lucas mumbled. He didn't have a choice. So he gingerly picked her up, one arm under her knees and the other around her back, supporting her upper body. She just clung to him by placing her arms around his neck "Luke?" She asked quietly against his neck "Shhh." He whispered to her as he grabbed her purse and came down the stairs.

"What the hell happened to her?" Haley screamed as she saw Lucas. "Well Jake practically raped her and then she passed out." Lucas told Peyton, Nathan, and Haley. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, you were right." She said to Nathan. "It's okay but is she going to be okay?" Nathan said to Lucas. "Well yeah, besides the major hangover." Lucas said as he looked down at her sleeping figure. "Is your mom home?" He asked Haley. "Yeah and she's going to totally flip." Haley squealed. "Okay, okay. Um, just tell her that you and Brooke are staying the night at Peyton's and me and Nathan will take her back to our place. She can spend the night, our parents are gone for the week." Lucas stated. "Oh really?" Peyton glared and Lucas glared back. "Okay sounds like a plan. I'll go call her now, come on Peyt let's get going and Luke take care of her." Haley said before she and Peyton walked out.
"How far did he get?" Nathan said as he opend the door for Lucas.
"Well he had her shirt off and his pants down." Lucas stated. "Damn, I should have came with you."
"No, it's alright. Let's just get her home, follow behind okay?" Lucas said. "Yeah." Nathan said "Natey!" Brooke screeched as she struggled against Lucas. Nathan came back over and Brooke jumped into his arms. "Don't make me go with Luke please!" She said to him. "Brooke it's okay, he's going to take you home." Nathan tried to plead. "Nooo, I don't want to go with him, I hate him remember?" She slurred. "Brooke just go with him for me?" Nathan begged. "Fine." Brooke said as she walked back over to Lucas, she stumbeld but Lucas caught her. "Get off of me you sleeze." She sneered as she plopped down in the passengers seat.
"Okay then, see you at home." Lucas said to Nathan as he walked around the corner.

Fifteen mintues later Lucas pulled into his driveway. Nathan was aleady outside waiting for them. Lucas parked the car and looked over at Brooke, she was sound asleep. He got out and walked over to her door. He unbuckled her and picked her up the same way as before. He walked up the steps of his porch with ease, she barely weighed a 100 pounds. Lucas bench pressed more than her so it wasn't that hard.

"I see you made it." Nathan joked as he held the door open. "Yeah, she fell asleep as soon as we started moving." He said but as soon as he finished Brooke was wide awake and jumped out of Lucas' arms and headed straight for the bathroom. Nathan and Lucas chased after her. By the time they got there she was, already throwing up.

"Great." Nathan sighed. "Uh..don't worry about it, I'll take care of her. Just go get some sleep." Lucas told Nathan.
"You sure?" He asked. "Yeah."
"Okay just come get me if she puts up a fight."
"Okay no problem." Lucas said as Nathan made his way for the stairs.

Lucas walked further into the bathroom. He kneeled down behind her and held her hair back for her and rubbed her back silently. She threw up for a good ten mintues but she then pulled away. "Oh god." She said as she stood and swayed a little bit.
"Are you going to be sick again?" Lucas said as he caught her.
"No but the room is spinning." She told Lucas, she was still very drunk and proably just threw up because of the motion from the car.
"Okay, here's a toothbrush." He handed it to her and she sloppily brushed her teeth. When she turned around she had toothpaste all around her mouth. Lucas just laughed. "Don't laugh at me Scott!" She yelled. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry but come here." He said as he picked her up and put her on the counter. He got out a wash cloth and washed away the toothpaste.
"This isn't the first time we've been like this." She said huskily. "No, no it's not." He said back nervously as he put the washcloth down. "Luke, why don't you like me?"
"It's not that I don't like you."
"Then why don't you want me, why won't you talk to me?" She was starting to cry and that was one thing Lucas hated.
"Brooke, I'm sorry."
"Oh forget it, your not sorry, if you were you would be with me right now." She said as she hopped down but instead came crashing down to the floor and hurt her ankle. "Oww!" She cried. She was now hysterical. "Come here." He said to her. He picked her up once again and they exited the bathroom.

"Luke, I'm sorry...I don't like Jake, I just...I just wanted to make you jealous." Brooke cried. "Shh, shh. It's okay." He said against her hair. "No, I'm such a bad person. I just...I just like you so much." She sobbed and Lucas paused and looked down at her tear stained face.
"I like you a lot too." Lucas said, he didn't see the harm in it, she wasn't going to remember anyways. "Really?" She cried some more. "Yeah." He said as they enterd the room. "Oh Luke, what's wrong with me?" She just started to cry more as Lucas rummaged through his drawers looking for a shirt for her to wear.
"Nothing is wrong with you." He said as he made his way over with the ravens shirt he was looking for. "Then why does god hate me? He..he..he..took my mom and dad....and he made me come...come...come here." She sobbed. Lucas gingerly lifted off her shirt and replaced it with his ravens one. "And he won't let you like me...and he just wants...wants to make me miserable." She cried out. Lucas stood her up and stood behind her as he ubuttoned her skirt and let it fall to the ground. The shirt was long enough so it came down to a little above her knees. "Luke, why?" She cried as she turned around and leaned into him. "I don't know Brooke but I know I'm sorry." He whispered. "Stop saying that!" She yelled. "You don't even mean it!" She collapsed to the floor. "Yes, yes I do." Lucas said as he stood her up.
"Then prove it." She said through her tears.
"I can't." Lucas whispered, he was starting to get emotional too. He felt so bad and he just wanted to hold her and comfort her but he knew he couldn't. "See, you don't mean it." She said as she clung to him. "Come on." He said as he led her to his gigantic bed. He pulled down the covers and picked Brooke up and tucked her in.
"Luke, I...I...I think I love you." She said as she dried her eyes. "I think I love you too." He whispered to her but it was too late, she was already passed out. He just stood back and watched her. She was so peaceful in her sleep and he loved the way she looked in his ravens shirt. She was all snuggled up in his blue comforters, she just looked perfect. 'To bad she's not mine.' He thought.

And with that he grabbed an extra pillow and blanket and laid it out on the floor. He was drained but he felt at peace knowing Brooke was safe and that she was asleep in his bed, even if he wasn't.
