Chapter 11
"WOW! I was not expecting that." That was all Lucas could say once he and Brooke had just read the document that Peyton had left on her computer. "Poor Haley, you don't think that Nathan knows do you?" Brooke asked Lucas.
The document was a letter addressed to "whoever concerned." It contained information Peyton wanted people to know. For instance her love for Nathan, which she said she would pursue, but neither Brooke nor Lucas knew anything about that.
Lucas then realised something, "The night of prom I saw Peyton and Nathan leave the basement together and they were both looking really guilty. I just assumed at the time they were looking for you." Lucas said and when he mentioned them looking for Brooke her head dropped at the thought of remembering that night.
"I'm sorry, Brooke," Lucas said turned her body around so that Brooke was looking into his eyes, "I will never let anything happen to you again," bringing her closer, "I promise." Brooke nodded and Luc smiled and kissed Brooke passionately.
Once they parted Brooke remembered what they had been talking about before and asked, "You don't think anything happened do you?" Lucas was confused but then also remembered what they were talking about. He pondered on this question and of how in love his brother was with Haley, and Lucas didn't think that Nathan would ruin what he had with her.
"I don't think he would ruin what he had with Haley." Lucas finally answered. Brooke wrapped her arms around Lucas' body and reached up on her tip toes and said, "I agree. And you really need to shrink." Brooke said with a smile about how tall Lucas was compared to her. "No, pretty girl you just need to grow." Lucas said smiling back and lifting Brooke up to his height so that he would kiss her and then gently he out her feet back on the floor so that he could let his hands run through her hair.
"Lucas," Brooke said and Lucas stopped and looked her in the eyes, "I really want to be with you, but not here not now." Lucas looked around the room and realised that if Brooke hadn't stopped them, they would have had sex in their dead friend's bedroom.
"I'm sorry Brooke your right, How about this weekend we go away, just the two of us." Lucas said hopefully. "Well Mr. Scott I'd better check my diary because I could most defiantly be busy. So I guess I'll let you know." Brooke said smiling and walking out the room.
God she is so sexy, Lucas thought to himself as Brooke walked out the room with a sexy smile on her face. Lucas then walked out the room leaving the computer on and completely forgetting about the letter.
Downstairs when Lucas and Brooke caught eye contact they both smiled and did not leave the gaze until someone interrupted. Nathan spoke to Lucas and Haley to Brooke. "Lucas what the hell is wrong with you this is a funeral, most people here are grieving not celebrating." Nathan said angrily.
"Well, at least I don't have flings with Peyton, behind my wife's back." Lucas said angrily forgetting and ignoring what he thought earlier.
"Well you did behind Brooke's back, so I guess us brothers now have something in common." Nathan said furiously and confused about how he knew about him and Peyton kissing on prom night. Then something came that Nathan wasn't expecting. Lucas punched Nathan hard in the face and once Nathan recovered he punched Lucas right back and they ended up in a huge fight in the middle of the Sawyer living room.
Haley and Brooke ran to the boys and they tried to pull them off each other but being half their size and strength really showed. In the end Skills and Mouth pulled Lucas and Nathan away from each other. Haley ran to Nathan's side and Brooke ran over to Lucas who had blood pouring from his mouth and hugged him tight.
"Lucas what the hell are you doing he is supposed to be your brother and your friend." Haley screamed at Lucas, "And you're supposed to be mine too." Haley said tears in her eyes.
Lucas felt guilty about Haley but did not regret hitting Nathan, until he got hit on the arm by Brooke. "What the hell was that Luc? I'll protect you; never let anything happen to you again. Was that all a lie? Or do you think getting into fights is the way to be a good boyfriend. You know what Luc I checked my diary; I busy next weekend and the next and the next. You know what Lucas I'm too busy for you now and forever." Brooke stared up at Lucas into his beautiful eyes and it broke her heart what she said, but she knew it was the right thing to do. As she picked up her bag she said, "I'm really sorry Hales." Haley nodded and gave a sympathetic weak smile that showed she accepted Brooke's apology. Then Brooke turned and faced the room she was about to leave a Lucas gave her a look as if he was practically begging for her to stay, but she ignored it with difficulty and opened the door and left.
