"Brooke!" Lucas called up to his wife three days later. Lucas had yet to go see Dan again. Brooke had been coming and going from work since she had been so busy with all the things she missed while away. They were now in Brooke's beach house packing her stuff so that she could make the move official now. Brooke was fighting the guilt she had for not telling Peyton yet though. She hadn't seen her curly best friend since their two days spent together and she knew she had to tell Peyton today. "Do you really need all these clothes?" Lucas asked looking down at the huge box of clothes he wore.
"Lucas Scott! I am a famous fashion designer." Brooke scolded as she walked down the stairs with yet another box. She stopped at the bottom and smiled at Lucas. "Of course I need all these clothes." Brooke said as she set the box down at her feet and walked toward Lucas.
"And where do you suggest we put these? I mean I already cleared out half my closet for you but your clothes take up like three whole closets." Lucas asked with a sigh as he looked down at Brooke who stood in front of him with her hands on her hips.
"Oh stop being a drama queen. We'll find room." Brooke rolled her eyes at him and hit his arm gently. "Anyways the real question is what are we going to do with all my shoes?" Brooke asked cheerily as she pointed to three boxes that lined the wall.
"Brooke." Lucas groaned throwing his head back in frustration. Brooke let out a small giggle and wrapped her arms around Lucas' waist. "Are you going to help me out at least?" Lucas asked as he looked down at Brooke.
"Why should I? You're a big strong man." Brooke teased as she leaned her head up for a kiss. Lucas let out a smirk and met her lips in a passionate kiss. What Brooke had meant to be a quick peck turned into a full on make out session right in the middle of her living room. Lucas smirked against her lips as he held the box in one arm and wrapped the other arm tightly around Brooke's waist.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry." A voice forced them apart. Both their eyes flew to the door to see a shocked Peyton Sawyer standing at the door. Lucas sighed gently.
"Peyt! Hey!" Brooke greeted as she untangled herself from Lucas to greet her best friend. "Lucas and I…we…were just um packing." Brooke stuttered out seeing the signs of uncomfortable ness on her best friend's face. But soon it was replaced with confusion.
"Packing?" Peyton asked. Her eyes holding the fear that Brooke was leaving her. She knew it was going to come soon seeing at the two of them were trying to make their marriage work but she didn't want it to come this soon. She just got her best friend back only to be losing her again.
"Well the other day Lucas…he…he asked me to move in with him. And I told him yes." Brooke said as she fidgeted with her hands. "But if you want me to stay I'll just bring everything back up to my room and stay here with you." Brooke said causing Lucas to let out a aloud sigh. Peyton glanced at Lucas startled and kind of taken back by his annoyed tone.
"It's not that I don't want you to be happy and go but I just feel like me and you are just becoming good again and now your leaving." Peyton mumbled as she looked down at her feet. She could feel Lucas' angry stare on her and she didn't want to look at him and face the facts. She had ruined any possibility at having a friendship with him because of her selfish mistakes.
"Peyt I won't go. I already talked to Lucas about this and-" Brooke started as she takes a step closer to Peyton. The curly blonde looks at her best friends husband and he's giving her that look. The one that tells her he will be upset if she doesn't do what she thinks is right. What is right. And before she can even think about it the word flies out of her mouth.
"Go." Peyton states.
"Wh-what?" Brooke asks as she looks at Peyton stunned. She was ready to start unpacking because she thought she knew for sure what Peyton was about to say but now she is confused and surprised all at the same time.
"I love you Brooke. And as much as I want you to stay I also want you to be happy. Move in with him. I'll be fine." Peyton said as she took Brooke's hand in her own and squeezed it. Brooke lets out a half smile and squeezes her hand back. All of the sudden Brooke pulled Peyton in for a crushing hug.
"Thank you P. Sawyer." Brooke whispered in her ear. "I love you and if you ever need me I'm only one call away." Brooke continued as she pulled out of the hug and looked Peyton in the eye. Peyton nodded her head in understanding. "I'm going to grab a couple more boxes babe." Brooke mumbled as she turned toward Lucas. He looked at her worriedly for a moment before nodding his head. Brooke smiled a little and brushed towards him to go upstairs. Lucas busied himself with some of the boxes to get rid of some of the tension that had surfaced in the air.
"Why Lucas?" Peyton's voice stopped him from what he was doing. He turned slowly to see her staring at him intently.
"Why what?" He asked quietly shifting a box in his hand.
"Why did we do that? So many years of hurting her when we didn't even end up with eachother. We waster so much time breaking her heart for nothing." Peyton said silently as she looked Lucas in the eyes. With a sigh Lucas put down the box he had in his hand and ran over his slightly growing hair.
"Don't do this Peyton." He whispered in a wobbly voice. He already knew from years of experience that this had to be one of Peyton's games.
"I'm not doing anything. I just want to know why we did what we did? I want to know why I had to see my best friend suffer for nothing." Peyton said as she glared at Lucas.
"Oh please! You act like you even gave a damn!" Lucas almost shouted but he made sure to keep his voice low enough for Brooke not to hear them and come running down. "When it comes to me you're selfish Peyton. You don't care who you hurt so don't come to me giving me a sob story about how we wasted time. Don't try to put the blame on me when it was equally your fault if not even more." Lucas spat out angrily. He couldn't Peyton had the nerve to bring any of this up.
"How is it more my fault?" Peyton asked taken aback.
"You kissed me first!" He answered.
"You know what Lucas I was hoping to finally get some damn answers out of you but your being a stubborn ass and putting your defenses up. Don't worry I promised Brooke I wouldn't make a play for you and I'm going to keep that promise. I've realized that Brooke means a whole lot more to me than you ever will." Peyton said as she moved a step closer to Lucas so she was glaring at him straight in the eye.
"You know what I don't regret anything me and you ever did because it made me the person I need to be for Brooke today. And it's also slowly made me realize the real person you are. I don't trust you Peyton. And I probably never will. The only reason I'm being so nice is because of Brooke. And you sure as hell don't deserve her. But she needs you in her life and I'm going to respect that because I love her and need her." Lucas spoke with venom, as he looked Peyton in the eye angrily.
"Luke!" Brooke called as she came down the stairs. Lucas glared at Peyton one last time before turning to look at his wife.
"Yeah, babe?" He asked watching in amusement as she struggled to bring down some boxes.
"Can you stop laughing and help me with these?" She asked sending him a playful glare. Lucas let out a small laugh and walked towards Brooke. He grabbed two boxes in each arm and walked down the stairs with them.
"I'm going to take these to the car." Lucas told her with a wink as he walked out of the house. Brooke smiled and continued to walk down the stairs where she stopped next to Peyton.
"You happy B. Davis?" Peyton asked. Brooke nodded.
"I am." She let out her huge dimpled smile and it made Peyton smile.
Half an hour later all Brooke's things were packed into a car that Lucas had rented earlier that day. Brooke and Peyton sat in the kitchen chatting about different things when Lucas called out for Brooke that it was time to leave. Brooke turned toward Peyton and let out a sad smile.
"Well I guess I better get going." Brooke said quietly as she pointed toward the front door. Peyton nodded sadly and followed Brooke to the front. "I love you Peyt. I'll call you as soon as I get home." Brooke said as Peyton pulled her best friend into a hug.
"I love you to Brooke. And don't you worry your pretty little head off. I'll be over to visit a lot. We only live twenty minutes away from eachother. We've survived two thousands miles." Peyton smiled as she pulled away from the hug and grabbed Brooke by the shoulders. Brooke let out a small laugh and nodded.
"Hoes over bros?" Brooke asked sticking her fist out.
"Buds over studs." Peyton hit Brooke's fist with her own and both girls let out a laugh. With one last wave Brooke was out of the door and leaving Peyton to an empty house.
PURPLEMONKEY
"Pretty girl!" Lucas called as he made his way into his room. He had been emailing Lindsey about the book while Brooke was unpacking her stuff. And after about an hour of on going emails about the comet he got tired and went off in search of Brooke.
"Hey." She looked up with a smile when he walked in. He nodded his head and sat down on the bed.
"You almost done?" He asked as he lay down on the pillows and looked up at her.
"Yeah, I got a few more things to do for the night and then I'll finish the rest up tomorrow after work." She answered as she folded some shirts up.
"Are you happy Brooke?" Lucas asked as he looked at her intently. She looked up from her unpacking abruptly and gave him a confused look. And he knew she was silently asking what he was talking about. He let out a loud sigh and continued. "I mean I saw how hard it was for you to leave Peyton today and it just got me thinking that maybe you weren't entirely happy with me." Lucas said nervously as he fidgeted with the bottom of his shirt. Brooke gave him a surprised look and moved to sit next to him.
"Lucas." Brooke mumbled as she mad herself comfortable and grabbed his hand. He looked at her and shifted a little bit. "I love you. You make me so happy it's not even sane for me. You don't know how happy you truly make me. The only reason I was acting like that with Peyton today is because she is my best friend and no matter how much wrong she's done I love her. It's going to get some getting used to not wake up to Peyton acting stupid in the morning but waking up to you is going to be so much better." Brooke told him as she looked into his blue eyes.
"Good. I don't think I'd let you leave anyways." Lucas smiled as he pulled Brooke to sit onto his lap. She smiled down at him and attached her lips to his. Her unpacking forgotten about. Lucas smiled against her lips and moved his hands from her waist to the back of her head pulling her in deeper. All of the sudden Brooke's phone started to ring from the bedside. "Leave it." Lucas murmured against her lips holding her hips tightly.
"I…gotta…get…that." Brooke said as she planted two more soft kisses against Lucas' lips before she moved off his lap and toward her phone. Lucas groaned and slapped her ass playfully. Brooke glared at him playfully before she punched in some numbers on her phone. "I'll be right back." She said excusing herself once she saw the text message her assistant sent her. She walked out into the hall and dialed the numbers into the phone from the text message and waited for someone to pick up the phone.
"Hey remember me. It's Brooke. Don't hang up."
