Heeey my beautiful people, So yes you are lucky and get two chapters this week since I still feel bad about my delays.

But I won't be posting again until next Tuesday and I promise that a chapter will defiantly be posted then.

Thank you all for your amazing reviews as I said before I really enjoy reading them seeing your thoughts on the whole Brooke and Lucas current situation.

Anyway ENJOY!

After Lily practically blew up at me I put my coat on and went for a very long walk. I ignored my phone getting calls from everyone. Lily has never spoken to me like that before and I know she was just looking out for her brother and I respect that. I had a lot to think about. Lucas is a big part of my life and I hate knowing that I'm causing him so much pain. Why did I not think of that before asking him to leave everything behind and move to Florida with me?

I head back to the cabin when I realised that I was gone for a couple of hours. I walk up the few steps leading to the front door and push the door open hearing voices from everyone. I take my shoes off and head to the living area seeing everyone sitting there.

"Oh thank god" Rachel sighed "where the hell have you been Brooke. We've been calling you"

I ignore Rachel and my eyes locked on my boyfriend "Luke can we talk?" I ask noticing that Lily wouldn't look my way. I really hurt her too. I need to fix this mess that I caused being selfish. Lucas nodded and I turned around heading up to our room him following behind me.

I get into our room and shimmy my coat off my shoulders and hang it up. Lucas walked in and shut the door behind him. I was stood looking at the wall and Lucas took a seat on the bed. We were sat in silence for a few minutes as I was trying to gather my words.

"Where were you this morning Brooke? We were all so worried" he breaks the silence.

"I needed to clear my head so I went for a walk" I reply still facing the wall "Lily and I had words and now she's mad at me and I don't blame her. I'm such a selfish person and I'm sorry" I blurt out not realising how lame and childish I sounded "I'm sorry I didn't mean to just blurt that out" I bury my face in my hands "I'm sorry Luke" I say turning to face him "I'm really sorry for how I handled the Florida situation"

"Brooke listen to me" he says standing to his feet "I don't want to lose you, but I also don't want you to give up a good opportunity that you've been given" he wraps his arms around me bringing me closer to him "I'm willing to give us up so you don't have to Brooke"

"Wait what?" I pull away from him to look up at him "but Lucas I don't want to lose you"

"I don't want that either Brooke, but I'd rather lose you then you hate me in the future"

"I could never..." I start to say, but he kisses me cutting me off.

"I love you Brooke. I love you so much that I want you to follow whatever path you want"

"What if I said that I rethought the long distance thing and I'm willing to try it" he looked down at me and a shadow of a smile formed on his lips.

"Really?" I nod seeing a full grin form on his face.

"I've thought about it I've come to the conclusion that I love you too and I really don't want to lose what we have. I mean I might end up not even going to Florida who knows, but I don't want us to end"

"You've made me the happiest I've ever been Brooke" he picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist pecking his lips "I love you"

"I love you too"

We lay on the bed cuddled my head on his chest as he stroked my hair. And then it dawned on me. Lucas and I said we loved each other. I sat up really quickly and looked down at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked looking back up at me.

"You said you loved me" he laughs with a nod.

"I know that Pretty Girl" he lays his head back on the pillow "you said it too"

"But I was in the moment of losing you and I didn't even clock on until now" I defend my actions.

"So you don't love me then you just said that to keep me?" he raised his eye brow.

I hit his chest playfully "I didn't mean it like that Luke and you know it" he laughs again "we've never said those words to each other before. Isn't that a big deal... saying those special three words"

"Not as special as the emotion behind them Brooke or the moment" he moves a piece of hair from my eyes "I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it Brooke"

And that reassured me that I didn't force him into it with my stupid selfish actions I have put on him the past few days.

I smile back at him and lean down to place a soft kiss to his lips "oh look at that. Brucas are in love"

"Brucas?"

I nod "that's what most people call us. It's our couple name"

He smiled "I like it" he then pulls me down with him.

Lucas and I finally decided to come out of our bubble an hour after our talk. We walked down to the others hand in hand with smiles on our faces.

"Do the smiles mean you aren't breaking up?" Rachel asked spotting us first.

"We aren't breaking up" I nod everyone cheering "I've thought a lot about it this morning on my walk and I've decided to try the long distance thing if it comes to it "

"Well now that's sorted should we do something like maybe go bowling or for dinner?" Haley suggested.

"I could go bowling" Peyton answered

"I agree let's go bowling" I agree with Peyton "bur first Lil can we talk?"

I could see her debating it in her head and then her eyes travelled to Lucas before she finally nodded "sure"

I grab my coat and put it on heading outside Lily following me.

"You were right" I start off "I was being selfish and I wasn't thinking about anyone, but myself. You have to understand though Lily that I haven't had to think about anyone, but me all my life. I've never had anyone care about me like Lucas has before and that includes Julian. I'm sorry about my actions the last few days. I never meant to hurt you or Lucas. You both mean a lot to me Lil"

"I was just looking out Luke Brooke. I haven't seen him that hurt for a long time and I didn't like it, but I'm glad you both are back on track. I believe that you two are soul mates and always have since you met. Don't give up on that kind of connection Brooke"

"I wouldn't dream of it Lil. I can truly say that I can't see a future without Lucas or your family in it"

She beamed a smile at me and wrapped her arms around my neck bringing me into a hug.

"And I can truly say you're suck with us for a very long time"

After our talk we head back inside.

LPOV

I sat in the bowling alley watching as the girls vs guys thing continued. At the moment the girls were kicking our asses. I watched as Brooke laughed at something Haley had said. She was so beautiful and I was very lucky. I loved how she kinked up her eye brow when she was mad or how her dimples showed when she smiled.

I loved how strong she was even when she thinks that she isn't. Brooke was amazing and she doesn't even know it.

After our games were up on the bowling we headed to a small bar at the bottom of the road our cabin was on. I walked to the bar to get the round of drinks with the guys.

"Yo Luke what's up with you tonight?" Nathan asked "you seem very quiet tonight"

"Just thinking Nate" I reply glancing at Brooke again laughing and smiling. Her eyes caught mine for a second. She gave a cheeky wink and then went back to the conversation.

"About?" Jake questions

"Do you guys ever think about marriage?" I randomly ask. I won't lie. That has been on my mind lately. I set it back obviously when Brooke said she didn't want to do long distance, but now that we are back on track those thoughts are running through my head again.

"I think about it. Red and I have been together for a very long time" Owen replies.

"I think about it too" Nathan nods as does Jake. "Why you thinking about it with Brooke?"

I slowly nod "I've never felt like this with anyone before not even Nicki and that is saying something guys. She has changed my life for the better and I honestly don't see a future without her in it. I love her" I sounded like a bitch, but I didn't care.

"So you want to ask her to marry you?"

I shrug my shoulders "I don't know. On one hand I do, but then on the other hand I don't know what she'd say or do and I don't want to freak her out. We've only been together a short while"

"So think about it some more and then decide" Nathan says and I nod agreeing with that.

I wanted to propose to Brooke with everything in me because I do love her so much and I've never felt this type of way with anyone else before, but I don't want to do it and her think it's my way of trapping her into not moving to Florida if that is what she does if she gets in because it's not. I would never trap her into anything.

I just... I have a lot to think about.

Once we all got back to the cabin we all sat around talking before everyone decided to go to sleep. I was now passing midnight and Brooke was lying beside me with her head on my chest and her leg draped over mine as she slept. I stroked her hair hearing her steady breathing.

I would be happy for us to be like this for the rest of our lives. Me and Brooke together forever is something I want. I didn't think I would find my soul mate, but I have. Brooke is my soul mate and I know it. She has made me the happiest and I know we are still so young being 18, but she has become my everything and I don't ever want to lose that.

Review please!

Love you all so much. Roch xoxo
