Julian had waited until Haley went off to mingle with the rest of his friends and took a gulp of his drink and made his move. "Brooke come with me, right quick?" He slurred.

Startled Brooke exhaled and said, "You scared me!"

"I didn't mean to scare you…" he said as he came closer, effectively backing her into a corner.

She had a feeling that Julian was up to something so she glared at him, "Get away from me."

"C'mon don't act like that." He said, cornering her. "We're friends right?"

She tried to push him away, "Leave me alone Julian! Why the hell are you in here?"

"You know why. I want to hook up with you–"

"I swear if you keep touching me I'll cut your nuts off!"

He smiled, his hands smoothing over her ass. "You know you want me."

"I do not want your drunken ass now let me go!" she said pushing him back.

"Yes you do, you know you do." He pulled her back in his arms. "You know I love you right?"

"No you don't! You're obviously drunk off your ass!" She said, trying to walk away from him and out of the kitchen. He pulled her back to him, "I'm not playing games with you Julian, leave me alone!"

He grabbed her arm forcefully before she could leave. "Damn it! What do you see in that guy huh? I'm everything you want and need if you'd just look my way!"

"Ow! Julian if you don't let me go–" she warned, getting more afraid than annoyed at this point. "Let me go! You're hurting me!"

"Not until you admit you love me."

"No! No! You're seriously drunk or high! I don't love you, you don't love me now let me go. Stop playing around–"

"Yes… I do love you… you have to let me love you baby." He said placing sloppy wet kisses down her neck. She cringed and tried harder to push him away. "C'mon baby…let me show you how a real man can show you a good time!"

She glared at him. "No!" she said with emphasis on the two letter word. "No! I think you should go."

"Fine." He said, letting her go a little bit. "But first give me a lil kiss."

"Eww! Dream on!" She said pushing him farther away and was about to kick him where it hurts when someone walked in.

"Brooke what's taking so–" Lucas said, breaking off when he walked in on them in a very compromising position. "What the fuck is going on in here?!"

Brooke looked at Lucas like he was her savior while she continued to push Julian away. "He's drunk and he won't let me go."

Lucas's sharp eyes took in the situation then narrowed on Julian. "Listen you son of a bitch… I don't do this too often—you know that, but I'm gonna break you a deal. You either ignore me and I kick your ass or you let her go and I'll go easy on you." He then smirked coldly, "It's your choice."

"Alright." He then let her go. She went to Lucas's side instantly. "Let's go then!"

"Go in the living room and let everybody know that we're leaving." He said never taking his eyes off the other man.

"Let's just go–he's not worth it!" she said desperately, not wanting anything bad to happen.

Lucas snarled, "Anytime pansy!"

Julian held up his arms and replied loudly, "Anywhere bitch!"

"Let's go." She said literally dragging Lucas out of the kitchen.

Lucas broke out of her grasp and rushed Julian, punching him as soon as he got close enough to make his fist connect with his face.

"Lucas stop it!" Brooke yelled, seeing Julian cradling his jaw.

Julian stood upright, his eyes glittering dangerously. "What are you kidding me?! You're going to fight me over some chick you barely know?!" He asked in disbelief, his voice angry, and his dark brown eyes threatening.

"I warned you too many times Julian to stay away from her!" he snarled, his anger at his now former best friend at an all time high.

Julian smirked then taunted, "Maybe she couldn't stay away from me! Ever thought of that?!"

For a few tense moments, the two studied each other with severe expressions. Then, with a snarl, Lucas charged again.

They punched and tussled with each other–although Lucas was much quicker and had more endurance than Julian did. Brooke watched helplessly as her boyfriend beat the hell out of his so called best friend, watching as Lucas lifted Julian up as if he weighed nothing and slammed him down on Fergie's dining room table, displaying his immense strength.

"Holy shit!" Nathan said as he entered the kitchen.

"What the hell happened in here man?!" Fergie asked, clearly upset as he surveyed the damage of his now broken table.

Lucas, now sitting down, explains, "That drunk motherfucker was groping my girlfriend!"

Julian looked over then snarled, "And I would do it again too!"

Lucas pushed from his chair, "Try it! And I'll punch your ass out!"

Julian got in his face again and just as Lucas had threatened he would do, he punched the boy, this time knocking him out on the spot.

"Man, you guys gotta get out of here."

"Fine…"

All he cared about was seeing Brooke and making sure that she was okay. He caught sight of her and called out to her but she didn't look at him. Her silence unnerved him, since the day they met she hadn't once kept quiet around him. He didn't know why it mattered so much, it shouldn't–but it did. Tonight she saw a different side of him–to her that was the most violent he'd ever been even though he went easy on the asshole.

He nodded and left with his brother.

"Brooke? Why didn't you say anything to him?" Haley asked, looking at his retreating form then looking at her friend with confusion. She shrugged and walked away to get her purse. Haley followed after her, unable to understand. "I thought you didn't like Julian…"

"I don't. He's an asshole. I just never seen Lucas act like that. It freaked me out. I know that he was protecting me but—"

"He was affected by your silence you know. I could tell by the way he looked at you."

"Really? Oh God…" She asked, now looking after him as he talked with Nathan outside.

"Yes. He cares a lot about you. Didn't you see that sad look on his face?"

"No I didn't."

"He looked so depressed when you refused to look at him or even talk to him."

Brooke looked down with shame, "I just couldn't say anything because there wasn't much to say and I have to take a few moments to take this all in! Julian could've raped me tonight and Lucas literally lost it. Hales… I'm just in shock ok. I need to process this."

"Sweetie, you're right. But I think that you both need each other right now. Don't push him away okay?"

Brooke hadn't been aware that that was exactly what she had been doing. She smiled at Haley and hugged the smaller woman and went off to talk to her man.

"Hey…"

"Hi…" she said softly as she stood near him in the backyard. "So it finally came to a head huh…"

"Brooke I know that you're scared but I was just—"

"Protecting me while making a point…"

Lucas shook his head, "I seen him touching you, and kissing you…I admit that I was extremely pissed off that I saw red and then blacked out. I won't ever put you in that situation again. He and I are done being friends. Period."

Brooke hugged him tightly and he returned the embrace slowly. "Are you alright? Did Julian–"

He scoffed, as if insulted. "No, he didn't hurt me at all in fact he hits like a girl. No offence."

She chuckled, "None taken. So how are you?"

"I'm fine. My knuckles are kinda fucked up but other than that…"

She looked down at said knuckles and saw that they were swelling and were bleeding a little and said, "I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you after–"

"Why couldn't you look at me?"

Brooke looked him in the eye and said, "I'm sorry… after all that happened I–I had to breathe a little and you know, think for a minute. How you fought him left me breathless and I was scared–oddly for you." She then laughed ironically, "I should have worried about you hurting Julian–but I didn't. You were the only one on my mind." She then sighed, "I was really scared Lucas. I really was and I didn't know how to talk to you about it."

"I know you were scared, Brooke. It's OK now. You been through a lot tonight. You were practically molested and you never saw me fight before…"

"I still shouldn't have shut you out. Not even for a second."

Lucas cupped her face in his hands and kissed her softly, "It's alright. I get it, trust me. So…how do you want to play this?"

"Hm?"

"Do you want to report him to the police or—"

Brooke shook her head, "As stupid as this may be…I don't want him to go to jail. But he seriously needs help."

"I know…" he then exhaled saying, "Ready to get out of here?"

"More than you know…"

-x-

Lucas drove her back to his mom's place and crept inside. They crept passed Keith and Karen on the couch kissing, Karen settled on his lap while he had his hands up her shirt, no doubt feeling her breast. Both looking completely lost in each other. At the sight Lucas made an about face and walked right back outside to find Brooke walking toward the house.

"Let's go to the beach…I need to clear my head from what I just seen."

"Oh okay…"

They drove for a total of thirty minutes until they reached their destination. The beach was quite beautiful at night, the ocean reflected the half moon in perfect silver ripples as the waves crashed along the shore. They then spotted a bonfire and saw locals drinking and dancing lewdly with each other.

Deciding that he had enough company he led her down the strip to a more secluded area.

"You're not the only one that has a bad side…"

"I'm not entirely perfect…"

"Yeah, right. You the closest there is—"

Brooke blushed then said adamantly, "No, Lucas, I'm not."

"What did you do that was so bad?"

"I used to smoke weed…"

Lucas laughed, "No, really what did you do?"

"No, I swear I'm not even kidding! One time I was sooo freakin high this was actually my second time smoking and it was hydro... I was so fucked up I thought I was dead and I was looking at the ground and I could see myself on the pavement. And I started screaming and my boyfriend at the time was like "what's wrong"? I said... "I'm dead".. .. he said ..."what"?... I said..." I'm dead". He said, "how are you dead if you're standing here talking to me right now"? I said "I'm right over there" and I pointed to the pavement and I started crying and shit, he was like... yeah ummm... I'll just go ahead and take this... long story short he took my joint and that was the last time I smoked fuck that…"

Lucas laughed so hard that he was almost crying, "So if I was to get some right now—"

"Nope, no, hell no and I'm not changing my mind."

Lucas laughed again and brought her to him, kissing her forehead, "I'm so gonna try it with you one day."

Brooke looked at him and said, "Please don't…"

"We are going to do that." he joked, liking the sight of her embarrassed smile.

"Why so you can laugh at me?" she asked sarcastically.

Lucas pulled her in closer and said, "I won't be the only one laughing. I'm sure you would crack up at me too."

"Tell me about a time you got high. Maybe then I might do it with you…"

"Okay…the 1st time I tried weed I felt like the music I was listening to was pulling me into the speakers with tiny hooks of bass." he chuckled, "That was a good time. Cmon I think that it would be cool if you did it with me."

Brooke looked at him with a unsure expression, "Do I have to?"

"No. But if you love me you would."

"Fine…you so owe me!" she said as she took out her phone.

Lucas watched her then asked, "What are you doing?"

"I know a guy…and this is a one time thing!" she said in a no nonsense manner.

Lucas chuckle then said, "Yes ma'am…Even though I didn't mean right now." Just as she was about to hang up someone answered, "Go on…"

"Hey Chris…listen I need a quarter ounce of Acapulco Gold…I did quit! But it's for my boyfriend…we're at the beach right now. We can meet you at the boardwalk…okay…thanks Keller."

By the time midnight hit the couple were sitting around passing the blunt back and forth. Brooke had chuckled, while thinking getting high was amazing! They both were as high as a kite and just enjoying nature around them. It was the best feeling ever.

Brooke couldn't even guess as to how their clothes melted off, or how he came to be inside her, but all she knew was that this feeling was out of this world. Everything felt so vivid and interesting and…

"Ohhhh God! Yes!" she moaned as she fisted his hair, her body trembling as the most powerful orgasm crested over her. "Shiiit!"

Lucas watched her climax, and the feel of her only strengthened his desire. She moaned long and low as he began moving inside her in expert prowess—strong and sturdy, driving her insane in the process. Brooke bit his shoulder, her legs clenched around his hips as he continued to drive deep in her pussy, taking her higher and higher with every stroke he made.

Brooke bit her lip when he did a particular move that had her insides clench strongly in reaction, then gasped, "Luke..."

"Shit I love you, I love doing this with you..." he groaned, feeling her walls grasping his cock stronger and stronger. "Oh God...you feel so fucking tight..."

"Oh...Lucas!" she said as she clutched him closer, her nails biting into his back. He growled in response then lifted her legs onto his shoulders and really began working her body.

Brooke's breath hitched multiple times as she felt the tell tale signs of an approaching orgasm, felt it building and building until finally—she was lost in a huge intense typhoon of bone-deep ecstasy. She screamed loudly, her body racked in shudders as it continued to wash over her in relentless waves. Even as she was having the biggest orgasm in the history of orgasms—Lucas was still railing into her. Before she even knew what was happening, he had her on her hands and knees and rammed his hard cock back into her still grasping sheath.

"This is so fucking good..." he grunted as he gripped her hips, plunging deeper and deeper, going faster and faster until finally—finally he felt a ball of heat race up and down his spine, his balls drawing up tight, signaling his release. He growled as he pulled out at the last minute, hard jets of hot cum racing through his cock and spurting strongly onto her lower back. He groaned harshly over and over as he was overtaken by his violent orgasm.

"Damn that was intense..." he gasped as he collapsed on her, making her fall limply on her stomach into the sand.

"Don't speak…I'm still spinning!" she panted.

Lucas chuckled, then laughed harder. "I think I'm still seeing stars…oh wait…those are stars—aren't they? They're exploding everywhere!"

Brooke laughed so hard that he face hurt but she couldn't stop laughing. She had to admit this was the craziest night of her entire life.
