Brooke woke up the next morning hating she had to talk to Lucas today, but at the same time wanted too. Just get it all out of the way and enjoy her last few weeks here with her friends. Brooke knew he would already be at the spot they normally meet at but wanted to make him wait as long as she could because she was still completely pissed at him.
"Brooke you have to go sooner or later." Rachel said as Brooke sat on her bed reading a magazine.
"I know that but I will wait as long as I can." Brooke shrugged.
"You know I think he does feel bad Brooke, I mean he screwed up bad I get that but I mean he was chasing after you, not the blonde slut." Rachel pointed out and Brooke just focused on the article she was reading "Just think about that ok Brookie."
"Noted." Brooke said finally putting down the magazine, "It's just… I slept with him Rach."
"I know you did, but I don't get the big deal is."
"Rachel I know I may come across a little sluty but trust me I'm not, sleeping with someone is a big deal to me, a real big deal and I slept with him and then he is kissing someone else, just like that." Brooke said shaking her head "I just don't want him to hurt me."
"Brooke…" Rachel sighed hugging her upset friend, "Everything will be ok, go talk to him, hear him out and if it's not what you want to hear then you find me and we will kick his ass, then enjoy out last weeks of summer."
"Ok," Brooke said with a dry laugh.
"Plus we still have to take our trip to Cabo." Rachel laughed causing Brooke to crack a smile finally.
"Alright, well wish me luck." Brooke said getting up of her bed.
"Good luck."
Lucas felt like he had been sitting there all day, she said they would talk in the morning and it was now morning but then he wondered if she just said that to get him to go away, let her leave or something. He was extremely tired, he barely slept the night before just wondering what Brooke was doing and then what was he going to say to her, he asked her to meet and he had no clue how he would explain everything, but then again none of that mattered if she didn't show up.
When Brooke walked the path she had taken so many times, she felt her nerves grow with every step. She wondered if he was still going to meet her or if he was already there, she wondered if she wanted to be there first or him. However she figured she would prefer him to already be there so he didn't think she was waiting him or something that she actually cared even if she did care, a little too much she cared.
When she saw him sitting there she froze, he was sitting there staring off the rock at the water and she could tell he was thinking, just wasn't sure if it was about her or something else. She let out a small laugh at his appearance, his hair was a complete mess going every which way, sticking up in some places and laying flat in others, his body looked tired as he sat there, clearly he had a rough night, but then her heart dropped, what if he had a rough night because he was up all night with Peyton, doing things with Peyton, not because he couldn't sleep because he was worried about her.
Brooke stepped closer to him and a tree branch snapped and he spun around quick to look at her, Brooke again froze in front of him and when he smiled at her, she couldn't help but smile some back. His smile told her what she had been questioning, with that smile she realized quickly he hadn't spent the night with Peyton, he had thought about her and that was why she was smiling back.
"Hey," he whispered, to her as he got up and started towards her.
"Hey," Brooke said back but when she said it her voice cracked.
"I was thinking you weren't going to come." He said with a dry laugh.
"I almost didn't." she shrugged looking down.
"Brooke…" he sighed lifting her chin to look at him, but she flinched at his touch.
"Don't," she whispered pushing his hand away "Please don't."
Lucas just moved his hand and taking a step back realizing she didn't want him near her, at least right now. "I'm sorry Brooke." He finally spoke after a few moments of silence "I don't know why she came here, I really don't."
"Its fine Lucas, we were just having fun right." Brooke said putting on a fake smile, and Lucas just looked down shaking his head.
"Brooke…" he sighed.
"No really it's all good, no hard feelings," Brooke lied trying to keep her emotions in check "I mean we both knew it was just some summer fun and it was, just a fun summer fling."
"It may have started off like that Brooke but we both know it turned into something more, a lot more." Lucas said walking over to her again and taking her hand in his.
"Maybe so, but we are leaving in three weeks anyway so it's probably a good thing Peyton came when she did." Brooke shrugged.
"Brooke don't say that."
"Come on Lucas we both knew that after the summer we would be done, now we can just get it over with before the final day comes, now you can spend time with Peyton and I can just spend time with my friends and Hank." Brooke said and saw how Lucas cringed at the latter part.
"But I don't want to hang out with Peyton I want to hang out with you, and I know you want to be with me too." Lucas said stepping closer to her.
"No, no I don't." Brooke lied and knew Lucas could tell.
"Yes," Lucas said as he pulled her closer to him and was thanking everything she wasn't pulling away.
"Lucas…" Brooke whispered but got cut off by him crashing his lips into hers. Lucas was afraid to do it at first but when she didn't fight it, he relaxed and he felt her body relax in his arms. Lucas deepened the kiss the couple was sharing and he placed one hand on her cheek and the other on her waist pulling her as close to him as he could get her.
Lucas not wanting to but slowly pulled out of their kiss leaning his forehead against hers both breathing heavily "Yes you do." he whispered to her still holding onto her tight.
Brooke felt her heart racing and was so close to him that she was sure he could probably hear it; just with that one kiss she came to a small realization and now she was scared to death by it. It was impossible since she had only been with him or known him for barley two months, but then again she slept with him in two weeks so clearly when it came to Lucas things happened fast and no matter how much she wanted to stop it she couldn't.
Brooke looked down at the ground, still with her forehead against his and his hand still on her waist and side of her cheek. She slowly let her eyes look up at him and he smiled at her, and then she got scared again.
"I have to go." Brooke said pulling away from him and running back to her cabin.
"Brooke!" he yelled but it was no use she was already gone through the woods and out of his sight. "Damn it." He snapped at himself kicking a pile of leaves before sitting down and putting his head in his hands "Damn it."
Brooke ran as fast as she could to get away, to get away from him and hopefully what she was feeling. She heard him call her and she almost turned around, she almost ran into his arms and kissed him again, but she couldn't she was leaving soon; she wasn't supposed to be feeling like this. She was Brooke Davis her parents were her parents and she swore to herself that she could never feel this emotion, it was impossible it wasn't in her blood to feel like this.
Brooke raced into her cabin, ignoring all the looks people were giving the brunette with tears streaming down her face. She ignored it all, she even ignored Karen when she passed the older women, she heard her call for her but Brooke ignored it just ran into her cabin slamming the door and sliding up against it, covering her mouth.
"Brooke?" Rachel said coming out of the bathroom to find her friend sitting there, her tears had stopped but her face was still stained with tears, she had her hand covering her mouth and she had this blank look her face and Rachel for the life of her couldn't figure it out. "Brooke…" Rachel repeated as she moved next to her friend on the floor.
"I'm in trouble Rachel." Brooke whispered to her friend beside her and voice cracked.
"What? Why?" Rachel asked confused "Did someone find out about you and Lucas?" she question and Brooke just shook her head no "Then what? What happened? Why are you in trouble?" She asked again but Brooke just kept her hand on her mouth shaking her head as if what she kept her hand covering her lips then the whatever she was in trouble for wouldn't come out, like if she held her hand there than anything and that had happened would be somehow erased. "Brooke!" Rachel said grabbing her hand and pulling it away. "What is wrong? Why are you in trouble?" she asked and Brooke just looked at her friend whispering,
"I love him."
