(Lucas about to leave her hotel the next morning)
Lucas: Thanks for listening.
Brooke: Yeah.
(Lucas turns round)
Brooke: Hey Lucas?
Lucas: Yep?
Brooke: maybe we can do it again over lunch?
Lucas: I'd like that 1:00 okay for you?
Brooke: (Nods) Great.
(Lucas leaves)
Brooke: What are you doing Brooke? Pull it together you didn't come to play house with Lucas.
(Brooke calls Peyton; but quickly hangs up and calls Haley)
Nathan: Hello?
Brooke: Is Haley at school?
Nathan: No its teacher workday and she played hooky.
Brooke: Can I talk to her Romeo?
Nathan: Yeah. Haley! Phone!
Brooke: Right in the ear.
Nathan: Sorry here she is.
Haley: Hey.
Brooke: Its Brooke. I need your help.
Haley: What is it?
Brooke: Its Lucas.
Haley: Oh!
Brooke: He came to my hotel room a few hours after he dropped me and Peyton off after getting us out of jail and he stayed the night.
Haley: Okay maybe I need to sit down for this. (Sits and rubs head)
Brooke: And then for some reason I asked him to lunch. What am going to do?
Haley: Back up okay Jail? Lucas stayed the night?
Brooke: Graffiti and nothing happened we just talked.
Haley: Okay well back to the lunch. Do you want my opinion?
Brooke: Yes!
Haley: I think you should go. It'll be good for you. Then maybe you can have some more closure and move on.
Brooke: Move on... yeah okay thanks tutor girl.
Haley: That's what I'm here for.
(Brooke sits down as Lucas pulls out her chair for her)
Brooke: To be honest I wasn't going to come.
Lucas: I was debating whether or not to, too- to be honest with you.
Brooke: Why does this have to be so?
Lucas: Uncomfortable? Weird? Scary? Hard?
Brooke: (Nods) Yeah. Look I don't want to come between you and another woman.
Lucas: And you're not.
Brooke: What about your girlfriend?
Lucas: We broke up.
Brooke: Because?
Lucas: Because I wasn't quite on the same page as her.
Brooke: Oh I'm sorry. (Shakes her head) Actually no I'm not.
Lucas: I know what happened hurt you and I'm sorry so very sorry. But I love you and I know somehow this can work.
Brooke: You know when I left I thought missing you was only going to be for a day and I thought needing you would eventually fade away. Wondering if my life could ever feel complete again. Lucas I wont let myself be hurt again and again by you.
Lucas: I know Brooke. I don't want to hurt you.
Brooke: Then why do you do it and always with my best friend?
Lucas: I don't have an answer Brooke.
Brooke: (Nods with tears in her eyes) Well then I have to go.
Lucas: Brooke come on that's not what you want! I said I was sorry. No matter what I say it isn't going to make what happen go away.
Brooke: I just want it to go away.
Lucas: What?
Brooke: The hurt... Loving you. You may not of chose this life but it's what you got and I can't be apart of that.
Lucas: (Nods sadly) I understand that I'm human I make mistakes. But you're right I didn't choose this life but I took the path that was in front of me and that path right now is leading to you. What are you going to do about it?
Brooke: Damn it! (Stomps her foot) I hate it when you're right! (Lucas smiles relieved)(He stands in front of her) Well don't just stand their stupid kiss me. (She smiles and so does Lucas)
Lucas: Yes ma'am. (Brooke raps her arms around him and they kiss – Fade out)
