Brooke had spent most of her first two days back in Tree Hill getting settled in. She had no idea that she would actaully need time to adjust in her own town but it was taking time. Even though the Davis's had only been back for 2 days Mr. and Mrs. Davis had already left for ther first business trip at their newest company.

Brooke stood in front of the mirror witha s frown. She couldn't find anything wear. This was not happening. Who was she so worried to impress? Well Lucas seeing as he hadnt seen her since that day when she had just left him with nothing more then 'I have to go.' It broke her heart to think about that day. Looking back up at the person staring back at her in the mirror and she shook her head a bit.

Peyton arrived 30 minutes later to find Brooek standing in front of the mirror still. Her long brown hair set in spiral curls and she was wearing a dark pink girly top that went past her waist and was low cut, with a pair of matching wedges and jeans. "Alright beauty queen let go before you miss your own party."

Brooke's face lit up as she entered Tric. They had gone all out for this and it looked like a completly diffrent place.As she walked in Peyton lead her to the stage and that when she saw Yellowcard.

"You got Yellow card to come and play my party Peyton your the best." Brooke squealed as she hugged Peyton very tightly.

"Sorry to disapoint you Broke but Lucas got them," Peyton whispered into her ear before letting her best friend go.

"SPEACH, SPEACH, SPEACH," the crowd bagan to chant.

Looking at Peyton quizaclly she walked to the mic.

"Hey everybody. Thank You so much for coming. It's good to back. I cant believe that so many people went to so much effort for little old me. So I'd like to thank the people who put this together. You know who you are. So before I start crying I think I'll introduce Yellowcar instead."

Coming off the stage she eyed Peyton as Yellowcard started up by playing 'Empty Apartment.' "Lucas got them?"

But before Peyton could say anything Haley, Nathan, Jake, Tim, Mouth, and Erika came over all smiling at her.

Nathan hugged her, "glad you back."

"Thanks, Hey Dim oooppps I mean Tim. Hows your dads porn collection," Brooke winked with a smirk as the rest of group cringed at her question.

"Good," Tim chuckled.

"And here I was hoping that you owuldn't come back so I could be President again," Erika Marsh joked.

"Don't listen to her where glad your back," Mouth cut in. Soon him and Erika wondered back to the front of the stage.

Brooke smiled as her eyes searched for Lucas. He was no were to be seen. "So I guess Luke really does hate me."

Peyton, Haley, and Nathan looked at one another with grins.

"What?" Brooke asked frustrated.

Peyton hugged Brooke as she whispered, "He's waiting for you in the back room. Go Get him tiger."

Brooke looked suspiciously at her friends and then shook her head and gave in and headed down the hallway to the back room. Opeing the door her breath caught in her throat at the sight set before her. There Lucas stood with at least 50 candles surrounding him. He was holding 11 pink roses and one fake rose.

"Lucas?" She questioned as she closed the door behind her.

"Brooke I ment what I said before. I wasnt to be with you," he confessed as handed her the roses. "When every petal falls fromt hose roses thats when I'll stop loving you Brooke."

Tears welled in her eyes and Lucas's heart sank. What if she didnt feel the same way? He wanted her so badly and he knew that he had screwed but he would give anything for a second chance.

"Brooke don't cry please. If this isn't what you want I usderstand I had my chance."

"Are you kidding," she said as she laid the flowers on the table next to her and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply and passionatly.

When she slipped away slowly Lucas looked down at her whole heartedly . Wipping a tear from her face she smiled, "So what doest his mean?"

"It measn Broody that I want to be with you," which was followed by a soft kiss. "Lucas can we take this slow though."

"Whatever you want Cheery. Now we should get back to this party their having for you."

Lucas took her hand and lead her out the door. As they came into sight of the rest of the party the crowd began to cheer and clap. they exchanged looks which soon turned into laughter as they shook their heads and eyed there friends.

Soon Yellowcard started to play 'Only One'.

Broken this fragile thing now
and I cant, I cant pick up the peices.
And thrown my words all around
but i cant, I cant give you a reason
I feel so broke up and I give up
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
you are my only one
I let go theres just no one who gets me like you do
you are my only, my only one.

The two came to the front of the stage where Peyton, Jake, Nathan, and Haley stood. Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke as they listened to the music. Brooke felt safe once again in Lucas's arms and he couldnt be any more happier then he was at this moment right now.

Yellowcard had already packed up and were on the road to there next show. Brooke and Lucas sat at the bar talking and laughing as the gang watched from the distance.

"Well are work is done here." Nathan announced as he tickled Haley.

"Nathan," she giggled. "Where going to head home if you done with us Peyton."

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow guys." Peyton sat with Jake on the front of the stage.

"We should go to my parent took Jenny for the night so I get you all to myself."

"Hey I'm not arguing."

Brooke and Lucas drove home in silence his hand holding her tightly. they both had ridiculous grins on there faces that just wouldn't go away.

Lucas began singing.

"I'm just tired so tired

wont you sing me to sleep

and fly through my dreams

so i can hitch a ride with you tonight

and get away from this place

have a new name and face

I'm just not the same without you in my life."

"You are the worst singer ever Lucas Scott."

"I'd do anything to see that smile."

They pulled up to her house and Lucas jumped out to get her door as Brooke out out he clased the door.

"You know I dreamed about this moment every night sine you left and all I wanted to do was hold you in my arms and kiss you."

"Well I hope these dreams were followed by cold showers."

"Sometimes."

"Well you could come inside and we could do that."

"I thought you wanted to take things slow."

"I do but kissing, cuddling, and falling asleep next to the man I love can fall into that category. Only if you promise not sing again though."

"I promise."
