It was around 6 when Lucas stopped in front of Deborah's' house. He did not talk much with Brooke during their day at the beach. What could he say? She told him everything she needed too. She was right but he was not ready to face it.
Brooke was ready to go out of the car.
- Thanks for driving me Luke. Well… I better get off. It seems that you haven't much to tell me anyway.
- No Brooke. Come on… Don't say that! I just feel a bit weird around you that's all. I was not there when you needed me. I made you feel even worse than you already did and you really didn't deserve that . I don't really know what to do to repair what I did.
- Ignoring me won't help for sure!! You don't need to force yourself as being like before. Life changed everybody you know that. I am not the same girl I was in high school. But we can try to know each other again no?
- I guess but… I don't really know where to start.
- I have an idea. We can go to the bar we used to when we were still here. I mean I could really use a drink but there is nothing in this house. Deb still thinks that alcohol is the devil but a drink sometime really helps bad karmas!!
- okay. It can't do more wrong anyway!
Brooke and Lucas already had too much to drink but it help with their inhibitions.
- Can we have two more beers? Are you okay with that Brooke?
- Bring it on!! I always handled alcohol better than you ever did!!
- I remember! Don't worry. I have always been impressed. I know that you feel a bit bad about the fact that I don't want to share my dark past but tell me why do you think that you have a bad karma?
- Well… Let me think… Hey I remember!! I always lose the guys I loved! My love karma is the worst of the planet!!
- I wouldn't bet on that you know.
- Okay, maybe it is not the worst but I still think that my love life is pretty chaotic! Can you believe that my fiancé left me at the altar!! Who does that? And what did he say? « I am so sorry Brooke but I don't love you as much as I use to and I don't feel like marrying you ». What the hell!! You don't feel like marrying me?? Couldn't he notice that before the wedding! I felt like dyeing for months!! But I know that your love life has been pretty rough too!
- Yep it has been hard. Sometime I am jealous of people with cold hearts you know. Imagine without love you can't feel pain. It is my dream!
- Right but I am still a romantic well… I try to. So, I think that without feelings you are dead and what scares me is that you seem to take this path and I don't like it. I mean you don't know how good it is to be loved by you.
- Yes right, this love can even kill you…
- What are you talking about? Who died?
- Nobody, I just wanted to say something. But tell me you used the plural when you mention your love life who else did you lost?
-….
- Tell me Brooke. You wanted to share no?
- I was…I was talking about you Luke. You have been my first love. The most important. Well don't worry it is over now but I can't stop feeling something when I think of you. You counted too much for me and you still do.
- If you want to know the truth I regret my choices too. I mean I should have stand by you by choosing you both times. Peyton was no good! If I had done the right choice I would be happy now and nothing would have happen.
- No don't say that. It was the destiny Luke. Maybe we needed to have these experiences to fully understand life. Who knows?
- Why are you so mystical? What is even worse is that I actually get what you say!!
- We are drunk!! I'm sure we won't be coherent anymore in a few drinks.
- We'll do that then… Waitress please can I have two vodkas and bring two other for my good friend too.
They drank their two glasses but they were lucid enough to walk home.
- Don't worry Brooke. I'll come back in the morning to pick up the car. Come on, I walk you home.
They walk the all way without a word, they already shared tonight more than they could dream of. Maybe a bit too much. They arrived in front of debs' door.
- Well Luke, thanks for staying with me almost all night. You know misery likes company.
- You are more then welcome! It is good sometime to forget about your life. I was thinking… Maybe we can start again where we left off.
Without leaving Brooke the chance to answer he kissed her. They seemed to be in the urge. All the pain, sadness and solitude they felt just seemed to disappear. Brooke could not stop thinking how good it was to be on Lucas's arms again.
Lucas woke up around 5 am he looked around him. He could not remember where he was. He felt someone moving beside him. It was Brooke!! What did he do?! Why did he slept with her? What a huge mistake! He tried to get out of bed with making any noise. He could not find his clothes. After a while, he was ready to go. He looked at her a last time. She was smiling in her sleep. Will she still smile tomorrow morning when she will realise what they did? He was sure she would not. This mistake will be quite hard to forget and forgive. Lucas was just hoping that it would not have too many consequences on their new friendship.
