"Brooke?" Lucas called as he
walked into Brooke and Rachel's house.
"she is in her room
Lucas."Rachel called.
"Oh." Lucas said not expecting Rachel.
" is alright for me to go."
"its always alright for you to
go lucas." Rachel winked.
"uh kay." Lucas felt confused and
awkward so he turned to the stairs and walked up.
he got to the
front of Brooke's room.
"Brooke?" he called again
awkwardly.
"Luke?" Brooke said threw the door.
"uh yeah."
the door then creaked open.
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"
"

"uh oh my god, im sorry" Peyton shuddered as she
rushed away from Brooke's door way.
Brooke sat there shocked,
and hen even shocked even more to feel a push against her side she
looked up to watch Lucas running down the hall.
"PEYTON!"
Lucas shouted.
"uh Luke it doesn't matter i don't care i
just thought i was intruding." Peyton said not taking one look back
at him.
"no peyton you don't get it!" Lucas said pulling
back on her arm that she spun around.?
"what is there not to

now, "i love yous" there is nothing not to get.. and im not mad
why would i care its not like i haven't wanted you for the last 4
years of my life, and then settled for hiding all of my true feelings
and trying to start over with some guy who i truly love, but it just
wasn't the same, and there i am living in your house and then
sneaking into your bedroom living in this fantasy wishing i could
rewind time so i could of never asked never ran away, i wish i waited
, its not like that all." Peyton finished her rambles with wet
cheeks, and puffy eyes. " its not like i love you, is not like im
in love with you Lucas Eugene Scott."
Lucas inched closer to her
and took his had to her shoulder and grazed down it till he reached
her hand then he took her hand softly into his where it fat
perfectly.
"Peyton, I love you, im in love with you, and no one
else can compare to how i love you, no one will
ever, why don't you understand
that, im never going to hurt you like i did the night i said some day
.. not no! Don't be scared Peyton let your heart speak cause your
head isn't rooting for me." Lucas brushed Peyton's hair out of
her face to see her sea green eyes.
" 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.
"See as soon as she sees us get close she expresses how
she feels." Brooke rolled her eyes.
" Brooke come on." Lucas
laughed.
"No luke go home, go get her." Brooke laughed.
"are

"I'm sure; your my
best friend Lucas, and i love you."
"i love you too Brooke."
Lucas smiled and then turned out of the house and jogged to his car
and went straight home.
"Mommy whens your next visit?"
Jamie said as he sat at the edge of his parents bed watching his
mother back up all over again.
"not for another 33 days."
Haley explained.
"ok." Jamie sighed.
"is that alright!?"
Haley asked worried.
"yeah thats cool mom, your going to be a
rock star and i got aunt Peyton and aunt Brooke and Gramma." Jamie
explained.
Haley felt a little hurt knowing she can be replaced,
and Jamie saw this.
"but it wont be the same." Jamie
concluded.
"im sorry baby, you know i can stay!"
"nuh

"k

the room.
"you ready haley?" Nathan said pocking his head
threw the door way.
"almost." Haley sighed.
"so you going

over jamie's spot on the bed.
"what is there to explain."
Haley shrugged as she zipped up her case.
"fine Haley, but your

"what war?"
"haley." Nathan groaned.
"what ever." Haley said as
she walked out the door. Leaving Nathan shaking his head.
