Chapter 10

Brooke looked at Karen, her eyes filled with hope.

"What does your heart say Brooke?" Karen asked.

She knew her son so well and she didn't think he would hurt her again, but he has changed since his times when he was so young and innocent.

Brooke looked at Karen and she knew what her heart said but she didn't want her heart to be right. She had trusted her heart for so long and so many times that she just didn't know if she could do it anymore. But she trusted Karen, and right now all she wanted to do was to talk about it with her.

"My heart says yes." Brooke said quietly.

"Then I think you should go for it." Karen said.

Brooke smiled.

"Do you…do you think he'll do it again?" Brooke asked honestly.

Karen didn't really know. She prayed that he didn't because she knew that if he wanted her again, Brooke wasn't going to do it. This was his last hope.

"I hope not, because if he does, he'll end up losing you forever." Karen said and hugged Brooke again.

Brooke's tears came back as she hugged Karen back. She was so lucky to have Karen.

"So when should I tell him?" Brooke asked as she pulled away now smiling and trying to wipe her tears away.

"I think you should wait a little while. Just until you're completely sure." Karen replied.

Brooke nodded.

"Karen, when did you know that Keith was the right person? I mean it took you a couple of tries right?" Brooke asked.

Karen sighed, remembering when Keith first asked her to marry him. She wished that at that moment she said yes so she could have been with him for a longer time.

"Yeah, it did. I was blind Brooke. But I found my eyes and we were together. We loved each other Brooke. Just like you and Lucas."

"Thanks Karen. I mean, you're the only one I can really talk to about this because we all know my parents would rather be drinking and off to big expensive parties then talk to me."

Karen hugged Brooke once again and then let her go. Brooke smiled and walked out the door. Once she was gone Karen whispered,

"Oh god I hope he doesn't mess this one up."

After talking to Peyton, Lucas decided to go and see Nathan.

He knocked and heard a 'come in' so he opened the door and walked in.

"Oh hey man." Nathan said and told him to come and sit down on the couch beside him.

Lucas sat down.

"So, Haley said you were acting spacey lately."

"Yeah…so?" Lucas said.

"So what's going on?" Nathan asked. Normally he wouldn't ask because that was personal and it didn't seem like much was going on with him but Haley wanted to know and so did a small part of him.

"Brooke." Lucas said. He was just about telling all of their friends already. He didn't know how he was going to explain that one.

Nathan groaned. Why was Lucas back with her if he said that they were over? He liked Lucas and Brooke together but he was getting sick of Lucas messing up.

"What now?" Nathan asked.

"A lot Nate. More then you and Haley know about." He said and looked at Nathan sheepishly.

Nathan turned down the volume on the television and turned to him.

"Just tell me Luke."

"Okay well you see Brooke and I were you know over but then at school this guy was being creepy towards her so she ran into the bathroom. I went after her to see how she was doing and well…we kind of ended up making out."

"Now, usually I would be saying 'nice' but since I'm married to Haley and she cares about you and Brooke, I'm going to have to say bad idea."

Lucas was slightly angered by this. He looked down.

"I'm just saying man that maybe you shouldn't have because it might have been too soon. Maybe it was just a rebound kiss…with your ex-girlfriend."

"Oh yeah that makes a whole lot of sense Nate." Lucas replied bitterly.

"Look, since Haley's not here, I'll tell you what I really think." Nathan said trying to compromise and not make him mad.

Lucas nodded.

Nathan took a deep breath.

"I think it was a fine idea! I mean Brooke's hot! But I have to say that I think it was a rebound kiss."

"But that's not it!" Lucas exclaimed.

Nathan looked confused.

"It's not like that Nate. It wasn't a rebound kiss, I know it. Because after that one time we kept doing it. We would meet up and kiss in places. It was so fun, and it felt right again. There was nothing serious, no commitment. But then we both saw that it was a lot more then just making out. I kissed her in front of everybody, I mean you were there you saw!"

"Yeah I did see it but then I saw her shocked face and saw that she didn't know it was coming."

"That's because I didn't know either. I just had to do it. Afterwards, I asked her what it meant and she asked me about what happened to the not being right for each other line I used when we broke up and I just froze on the spot!"

"Ouch." Nathan said. "That's bad man."

"I know. Which is why I need to fix it but I don't know how." Lucas said while pacing around the room.

"Well, do you still love her?" Nathan asked seriously.

Lucas stopped pacing. This was an answer that he'd known from the beginning. He smiled and for the second time tonight, he turned to face Nathan and answered him.

"Yeah, I do." He said.

"Then tell her." Nathan said and Lucas stood and wondered how he could.

Alright well that was Chapter 10! There are only four more chapters left! Please review I love reading what you think!
