Quote: 'You are either on Team Brooke or Team Peyton, but nobody wants to be on Team Peyton because there captain is a big whore!' Sophia Bush as Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill
Chapter 14
"Lucas come on baby, we are gonna miss the movie." Kelly whined from the front room, where Brooke was trying to drown her out with her iPod.
Lucas appeared from the spare room and ushered Kelly out of the room, but Kelly stood her ground, "I'm sorry I shouted baby,"
Kelly gave Lucas a kiss and then hugged him, making sure Brooke was watching. It had been a week since Brooke had found out about Kelly and any opportunity given Kelly would throw her self all over Lucas whenever Brooke was around.
Brooke hated this girl and hated herself for letting this bitch make her feel this way. All Brooke had done since was pine after Lucas like a pathetic school girl with a crush, and she hated herself for it. Brooke Davis was stronger than this, but she wasn't strong enough to fight her feelings for Lucas, here was an ache in her heart that longed for Lucas.
"Let's go." Lucas muttered opening the door and pulling Kelly out, this isn't what I want Lucas thought as he got into his car. It was obvious to everyone bar Brooke what he really wanted.
And Lucas knew it was terrible what he was doing to Kelly, he was using her as a way to try and forget about Brooke, but she wasn't a miracle worker.
Lucas had gone over the conversation he would eventually have with Brooke about well everything thousands of times, but it was never the right time or place.
Lucas and Kelly arrived at the cinema and Lucas' mind was still on Brooke but his thoughts were disturbed by Kelly.
"So I've had a better idea, a movie is boring how about we go out for a drink?" Kelly asked with a dark smile, Lucas considered this proposition and realised that the only way he was going to forget was to drink.
"Sure, where do you suggest?"

Brooke wandered round the mall vacantly; a place that would normally excite Brooke senseless just seemed pointless and useless. Who was she kidding a shopping spree was not the answer, her dad was dead, her mum was a heartless bitch and the one boy she wanted didn't want her back.
Brooke sat down in a café and ordered a coffee from the waitress. Brooke put her head in her hands and a single tear fell down her cheek.
"Here's your coffee, hey what's wrong?" The middle-aged waitress said placing the coffee down on the table.
"Everything is wrong; my life is one big mess." Brooke wailed and the waitress sat down next to her.
"Talk to me, a boy perhaps?" The lady asked with a sympathetic smile, Brooke nodded.
"Well I'm not sure what its worth but here's what I know about love, you only get one shot, trust me I know." Brooke looked up confused.
"Divorced," The waitress answered sensing Brooke's confusion.
"I'm sorry," Brooke apologized.
"Don't be, but my point is if I had known that Alex had been the only one for me then I think I may have worked harder at my marriage. Listen life is short and precious, so would you rather spend it with the one you love or alone and miserable listening to some divorced waitress who now lives with her parents crapping on about her failed marriage."
Brooke smiled, "Thank you," Brooke paused waiting for the lady to tell Brooke her name.
"Suzy," The waitress prompted, "No problem, know go after him and make sure to tell him that he should be so lucky to have you!"
Brooke got up and offered some money for the coffee to Suzy but she shook her head, "On the house, just don't tell the boss!"
Brooke smiled and grabbed her bag and hurried out the café and ran all the way back to her car, she didn't know what she was going to say yet but she had to find Lucas.
--
Lucas put down another shot and held his hand to his head that was throbbing with pain, he wasn't sure how much he had had to drink but he was pretty sure it was way too much.
Lucas and Kelly had ended up in some sleazy nightclub where the music was pumping out loudly and dodgy people in every corner.
"Lucas come dance with me." Kelly said walking drunkenly up to Lucas, and he mumbled some incoherent words but Kelly dragged him on to the dance floor.
Kelly kissed him hard, but Lucas just about managed to push her away, "No Kelly, Brooke" The words came out in a slur and the next thing he knew Kelly was kissing him again.
Brooke drove to the cinema where she knew Lucas was going and desperately asked around, but obviously no one had seen either of them.
Brooke walked out of the cinema determined not to give up she would find him tonight, and then a male voice made her turn around.
"You looking for Kelly Pinker?" A man in his late twenties asked.
"Ummm, possibly do you know her?" Brooke asked hesitantly she didn't trust this guy.
"She is my sister." The man said, and Brooke was taken my surprise and she saw that this was guy was not a creep but actually concerned.
"Look have you got any idea where she might be, you see she is out with a… friend of mine and I really need to find him?" Brooke asked desperately.
"Well I was just about to go out and look for Kelly myself, and I have a pretty good idea where she will be, you wanna ride?"
Brooke considered her options, this guy seemed legit and he seemed pretty sure about where Kelly would be and hopefully Lucas too.
"That would be great. So where do you think they will be?"
"Well I hate to say this, but a popular location to find my sister is often Potion, you know that nightclub in town." The guy said embarrassed.
Brooke knew it, everyone did it had a reputation for the most dodgy club in town.
Brooke nodded, "So what's your name?"
"Brooke, you?"
"I'm Dan."
"Well thanks Dan, I do really need to find my friend." Brook said looking out the car window praying that she would find Lucas.
Brooke and Dan arrived at the club and Brooke realised instantly where it got it reputation from.
Both of them hurried in the club, but it was dark and the strobe lighting didn't help their search. But after covering the whole club Brooke was sure that Lucas wasn't here, so as a last resort she went to ask the creepy bartender.
"Excuse me have you seen an 18 year old guy, sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, so tall." Brooke said indicating Lucas's rough height.
"What's it to you?"
Brooke was impatient, "Have you?"
"Yeah but I don't think you are gonna be very happy with who he left with and where they were going."
Brooke took a deep breathe, "Where?"
"Not hundred percent sure, but the tart did say something about the motel round the corner." He said with a creepy smile, enjoying very bit of Brooke's desperation and misery.
"Thank you."
Brooke met up with Dan, "They are not here, they left for some motel." Brooke said welling up, but luckily for her it was too dark for Dan to see her tears.
"Hey I'm sorry Brooke, maybe you could catch your friend tomorrow and as for Kelly guess I'll just have to talk to her later. Cya a round."
"Bye, thanks for your help."
Brooke walked out the club and looked round, and realised she wasn't going to give up without a fight and ran round the corner and into the motel.
Brooke ran to the desk, "Did a guy and a really slutty girl check in here in the last say hour?" Brooke asked hurriedly.
"Yes are you here to see either?" The lady behind the counter asked.
"Sure, what room number please?"
"One second let me check," Brooke would have laughed at the lack of security in this rundown motel if there weren't twenty other things on her mid already.
"Ah here we are room 5." The lady said handing Brooke a key, "Anything else?" The lady asked but Brooke was already running down the corridor.
Brooke shoved the key in the lock and opened the door, "Lucas, Lucas are you here?" Brooke cried out.
Brooke saw Lucas pulling his shirt on and Kelly on the bed under the covers asleep, Brooke shook her head praying this was all a bad dream. He had slept with her, but then again what did she expect, they checked into a motel.
"Brooke give me a minute to explain," Lucas pleaded.
But Brooke was already running out of the room and out of the hotel. She had to get away from all this, everything, Lucas.
Brooke ran down the street and didn't stop until she was all the way back at the mall, where she had left her car.
Brooke jumped in the car and started the engine, and drove as quickly as she could back to Karen's house.
Brooke ran indoors and luckily Karen was at work. She grabbed a bag and began packing throwing clothes into a bag and running round the room in a panicked mess.
Lucas ran through the door shouting out, "Brooke, you here. We need to talk."
"Lucas leave me alone. We don't need to talk; in fact we don't ever have to talk again."
"Brooke please don't leave, I don't want you to." Lucas begged.
"No you don't, you are fine with Miss Slut of the century." Brooke said sarcastically.
"Brooke she means nothing to me."
"Nothing to you, no Lucas I mean nothing to you. You gave up on me and us."
"Brooke you mean everything to me, and I never gave up on us, all I want is us?" Lucas said taking Brooke's hands but she threw them away.
"Lucas don't say things you don't mean."
"But Brooke I do mean it, I want to be with you so the question is do you want to be with me too?"
"Lucas I tried to tell you how I felt but you pushed me away by hooking up with Miss Slut!"
"Don't you get it, I was with her to try and forget about you, to try and prove to myself that I could be without you and that I wasn't completely in love with you." Lucas said with a cheeky smile.
"What?" Brooke asked, unsure if she had heard right what Lucas had just said.
"I love you Brooke Davis, and I am an idiot for trying to feel anything else but that. I should have told you months ago, I'm sorry. And I am sorry for any pain that I have inflicted on you, but I promise I only want you, I swear." Lucas took back Brooke's hands and looked deep into her big beautiful eyes, and rubbed a tear away from her cheek with is thumb.
"You know this is right Brooke, trust me."
"I want to Luke," Brooke stammered, she so badly wanted to believe everything he was telling her, but a part of her was too scared in case she got her heartbroken again.
"Brooke I'll wait for you, I wait for you forever." Lucas said letting go of her hands kissing her forehead and walking out the door.
Lucas left the room and Brooke stood still and silent for a moment, but then had an epiphany, she didn't need to be scared she just had to trust herself and him.
Lucas walked into the kitchen and ran his hands through his hair, but then turned swiftly around to see Brooke standing in front of him.
"Someone told me that life is short and precious so it is better to spend it with someone you love," Lucas waited and Brooke stepped closer.
Brooke took a deep breathe and looked up into Lucas awaiting eyes, "I love you Lucas Scott."
Lucas smiled and captured Brooke's lips in his own and put her face in his hands, Lucas was right this did feel right this is what I want, Brooke thought.
"Promise you'll never leave me," Brooke said as they finally parted, and Lucas shook his head, "Never."
