Ok so the last chapter was a little short, hopefully this one will be longer :D

Thanks for the reviews :) Oh and the 'I felt it'? You'll see ;)

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?

It's been two weeks since she last spoke to him. Every time they see each other she avoids any conversation. Her best friend needs her right now, a lot more than her Lover does.

She slowly lifts the sheets above her best friend's body and tucks her into the bed "Rest P. Sawyer" She whispers kissing her forehead. After only a couple minutes she is fast asleep.

Brooke sighs, relived. She has been spending all her time with Peyton lately, making sure she was resting and getting used to being at home again. Peyton has been through a lot, but this isn't going to be easily repaired.

Walking down the stairs, she grabs her coat from the banister and heads for the door. Earlier today she had promised Karen she would come home to sleep tonight, Brooke missed Karen and the house. She just wanted Peyton to know she wasn't alone.

She arrives at the Roe residence 5 minutes later and enters her room; she is surprised to see Lucas on her bed.

"Um hey." She says confused as she removes her shoes. He stands and hugs her, she hugs him back awkwardly as he is dressed only in his boxers.

"Hey." He whispers soaking into her hair, she moves back from him and looks him up and down before pointing to the bed.

"What are you doing?" She asks and he sits on the edge of the bed, pulling her down next to him. "Lucas." shaking her head she moves her hands to her lap, staring at him.

"Dan kicked me out" He mutters and her eyes widen "He found out I was looking into his dodgy deals and he threw me out."

Her small hand rests on his bare back and he looks at her intently "I thought I could just stay here with you." She breathes in deeply and moves her hand. He rests his on her lower back now and draws circles with his fingers on the bare skin under her top.

She stands and moves away from him "No." She replies, her voice stern. "You should sleep in Nate's room" He nods slowly and stands grabbing his bag and leaving the room.

((()))(((((()))))

Her eyes open and she feels blinded by the light, but it isn't sun light. It's her table lamp. She looks around the room and notices Nathan sat on the end of her bed. After adjusting to the light she whispers his name "Nathan..." He looks at her and she notices he is fully dressed "Where are you going?" She asks sitting upright in the bed.

He shakes his head and moves to sit on the side of her bed, facing her "I just got in" He mutters and she looks quizzing at him "I was at the river court." She nods and looks at her alarm clock.

"Its 4am Nate." She pats the spot next to her on the bed and pulls the covers back for him "Come here..." He moves to the other side and removes his hoodie and shorts, leaving him only in his boxers. Slipping in next to her, he pulls her down with him and she switches off the light.

She soaks into him and he grips her like he hasn't seen her for months. Sighing contently, she rests her forehead on his and takes his hand under the covers, placing it on her lower back. He whispers and she doesn't hear it the first time "What?"

He breathes in deeply before repeating his words "I missed you, gorgeous."

She smiles and places a soft kiss on his lips "I missed you too, Boy Toy" Her reply softens his body and he places a more passionate kiss on her lips. When they pull back she is almost speechless "There it is again, that feeling."

Brushing her hair behind her ear, he whispers in her ear "I love you too, Brooke." And she snuggles into his chest.
