Lucas poked his head in to see Brooke with her Back to the wall sitting with a legs extended in front of her with a large book on her lap.
"what do you got there?" Lucas said as he took a seat beside her.
"just an old album." Brooke sighed.
" you haley and Peyton." Lucas pointed at the picture in the middle of the scrap book.
"Uh Luke." Brooke said as she rested her head on his shoulder as she snuggled in tight. "why?"
"why what?" Lucas said looking straight into Brooke's eyes as she gazed up to him.
"why did things have to change this much?" Brooke explained.
"i don't know wrong choices or right choices, or just people change from the person who they were in high school or the person you thought you loved, its the way of life brooke."
"well then life sucks." Brooke pouted.
"he, we still have each other Brooke, you aren't alone in this."
"yeah i no." Brooke paused to look into Lucas' ice eyes. " and thats why i love you Lucas Scott"

" Luke not right now, please." Peyton said as she gestured over his shoulder " ill see you at home."
Lucas looked behind him to see brooke standing there.
