"So, Tigger, what are you doing tonite?" Haley asked.
"I don't know… Luke wants me to go to Tric with him." Brooke said.
"Me and Nate are going… wait, Lucas asked you…" Haley said.
"Cool it, TutorGirl, we're just friends… wait, did Lucas say something to you?" Brooke asked.
"No, but you two were the cutest couple in Tree Hill." Haley said.
"Until he cheated on me with my best friend…" Brooke said under her breath, Haley heard her though.
"Tigger, you know he felt horrible… He told me it was the biggest mistake he ever made." Haley said.
"It just hurt… ya know, I really thought we had something and then… you know the rest…" Brooke said.
"So, is Brooke coming tonite?" Nathan said.
"Um… she doesn't wanna go to Tric, she wants to hang at her house… to talk." Lucas said.
"Ooh… nice man, good luck with that… call me tomorrow." Nathan said.
"Thanks, I am scared as hell…" Lucas said.
"Hey, thanks for coming here instead of Tric." Brooke said.
"It is no problem." Lucas said.
"So, I was looking at pictures of when we were dating… we were so happy… what made you turn to Peyton?" Brooke asked.
"Well, it had nothing to do with you… I guess I just got my feelings mixed. The first night we started actually dating, Peyton came over… I am sure you remember… Peyton told you she came to return a cd… well she came to tell me that she wanted to be with me… well, I did love you, but when we went to see if her dad was dead, we went back to the hotel… she thought she lost her bracelet. We hugged, and things just escalated… then I thought I wanted her. We broke up, I realized with you I had everything. We had love, connection, and fun. Then you wouldn't talk to me… that is why I left… I couldn't look at you anymore without my heart breaking…" Lucas said. "It is still like that, but I know I need you in my life, even if you just want to be friends…"
"Lucas… oh my god, wow, this is… huge! Why didn't you tell me this before… we've been talking for a while now, why tell me now?" Brooke said.
"Because, I'm hoping you trust me now." Lucas said.
"Lucas, I need to sleep on this." Brooke said.
"I understand that… alright, why don't you call me tomorrow?" Lucas said.
"Okay, talk to you later." Brooke said.
"Lucas… it is 2: am." Karen said.
"I was just driving around and shooting some hoops." Lucas said.
"What happened?" Karen said.
"Let's just say, I think I really messed things up with Brooke." Lucas said.
"How, hon?" Karen asked.
"I told her all that happened between me and Peyton, and then told her how I feel about her." Lucas said.
"Oh, what did she say?" Karen asked.
"She needs to sleep on it." Lucas said.
"Lucas, okay, we need to talk right now!" Brooke said.
