Cabo, San Lucas

BROOKE'S POV

At the end of the movie, Haley and I were almost hugging each other and crying our hearts out. We looked at both of our sides and saw that Lucas was already playing with his PSP, and Nathan was listening to his iPod. Both men were clearly not paying any attention to the movie ever since it began. Haley and I looked at each other and knew what we are supposed to do.

I turned off Lucas' PSP and smacked him on the chest.

"Oww! What did you do that for? I was in level 10, for your information! And that was the highest level! Darn it!" Lucas grumbled.

"And I don't freaking care! You're trading me for your game?! You should have told me that from the start, Lucas!" I said while slapping his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, alright!" He said, whole laughing.

"And you're laughing at this? What is so freaking funny? The Notebook is never funny! If it hasn't occurred to both of you yet, Haley and I here have been crying our hearts out every single time we watch this movie! And you don't freaking give a damn! You are so sucky boyfriends!" I said, pouting.

"Brooke, please, don't give me that look. Besides, The Notebook was never our thing."

"But you promised to sit through the whole movie, even thought it's a chick flick."

"I know! I know! I'm sorry, alright?"

I was silent. I listened to Haley as she scolded Nathan like a child.

"And what's your excuse, Mister?" Haley asked.

"I was bored." Nathan said exasperatedly.

"You were bored?! Now that wasn't I didn't know and love."

"Come on, Hales, don't use that line against me."

"Why not?! It's true. Like Brooke said, you and Lucas promised to watch this film with us- and here I find you listening to your iPod. What kind of crap is that?"

"OK, I admit- I'm sorry. And Hales, you and Brooke, no offense, are being irrational with this. It's just a movie."

"NO, you are so not getting it, Nathan! The Notebook is the movie! I swear every girl has watched it!"

"Fine! I guess we can never win this conversation, right Lucas?"

"I think so, Nate." Lucas said.

"How can we make it up to you?" Nathan asked.

Haley and I were silent. I stood up to go to our room's balcony. Call me irrational or anything- but that wasn't my boyfriend back there. My boyfriend supports me in anything I do.

LUCAS' POV

I watched as Brooke stood up to leave. After a few minutes, I followed her. I guess she's not going to let me get away this one.

I entered our room and saw her standing by the balcony- her now favorite place. I silently walked and stood beside her. I took a deep breath and said,

"Are you seriously angry with me for not watching that chick flick with you?"

"No."

"Then why are you angry at me?"

"Because, you are so not acting my boyfriend right now."

"I'm not?"

"You aren't."

"Then tell me, how should I act?"

"Just the way I loved you."

"And what exactly is that?"

"You know what I loved in you?"

"Obviously no. Tell me. I'm all ears."

"I loved you for always being there for me, supporting me. Although I know we do not exactly have the same interest, but just the fact that I see you trying your best to support me is a lot. But I'm not seeing that. If I could've known that this is what would happen, I think we should---"

"HOLD UP! Wait a minute! Don't even say the word!"

"I'm serious, Lucas."

"I'm serious too."

"I'm sorry, alright? I guess I'm being a sucky boyfriend, huh? I'm sorry. i'll do anything I can to prove and show you that you're not wrong in thinking that I am the one. I am the guy for you, Brooke Davis."

"Then show it."

"I am and I will. Just give me time. And just trust me."

"I trust you, Luke- more than you'll ever know."

"Just a question…"

"Shoot!"

"Were you really angry about me not watching The Notebook?'

"Honestly, no- I'm just wanting you to realize something."

"Good thing you cleared that up! And that something- it has been realized."

"Good! Hey look at the time, it's almost New Year."

We just fell silent and watched the stars. Everybody's probably celebrating right now. We heart the door creak open and saw Nathan and Haley come in.

"Just making sure there was no blood on the walls," Haley joked.

"You and Brooke patched up?' Nathan asked me.

"Yup. You?"

"Turns out that my girlfriend here is just trying to beat the hell out of me. She's not really angry, right Hales?"

"Yup. I just can't imagine the look he had in his face while he thought I was really angry. It's just priceless!" Haley said while laughing hard.

"Enough. Hey guys, we brought in some champagne. New Year is up in just a few seconds." Nathan said.

"We know, doofus!" all of us said.

Just then, we saw fireworks on the atmosphere. We all looked at each other and smiled.

"Guess it's already the New Year!" I said as we cracked the booze open.

We filled our glasses with champagne and prepared to say cheers.

"Cheers for a brand new year," Brooke said.

"For a fresh start- with no problems, I hope," Haley said.

"For tighter bonds of friendship," Nathan said.

"For love and trust to be above our relationships and hope they will last," I said.

"CHEERS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" The 4 of us shouted.

I looked at Brooke, who was looking at me with sparkle in her eyes. I smiled at her and kissed her. She put her hands on my back and mine on her back. I can feel her smile against my lips.

"ewww! Guys, get a room!"

We pulled back from each other and noticed that we were both blushing.

"As a matter of fact, this is our room." I said.

"oh right! Sorry, we'll get going then, right Nate?" Haley said.

"Of course! You two would want to spend some time…errr…alone." Nathan said while he smiled.

See you in the morning, you two!" Brooke called after them.

We smiled at each other as we hear the door close.

"Sooo…what do you want to do?" I asked her.

She smiled at me, as if suggesting something. Now what is playing in her mind again?
