Bugbabe24, I'm glad you like the story so much and thank you oth/o.c.fan213 for your review.

"So she turned you down then?" Lucas snapped his head round to find Anna standing in her driveway with her arms crossed. "Sorry?" he said confused. "Brooke. You know the girl from your past that was slipping away." She couldn't help but feel angry, she liked him and he hurt her just like Felix said he would. "Can we not do this, I have to be somewhere" Lucas responded. "Yeah run away Scott isn't that what you do best?" Anna sniped. Anna saw the black car pull up in front of Brooke's house although Lucas was oblivious to the fact that Peyton was getting out of the car. "No he's not going anywhere." The guy's voice from behind Anna did get his attention however. "What do you want Felix?" Lucas said annoyed, Felix seemed to involve himself in most things and Lucas clearly wasn't pleased this time. Felix made his way toward Lucas as Peyton made her way toward the three, Lucas was still unaware of the blonde's presence. Felix was now directly in front of Lucas staring at him before he said "This." Lucas' head snapped to the side and he stumbled with the force of Felix's punch, however he managed to stay on his feet long enough to retaliate with a punch of his own knocking Felix down. The two girls were shocked and both tried to get the guys to stop however they both unleashed punch after punch.

Brooke heard the commotion from her bedroom and rushed outside after she heard their two names being shouted. "What's going on?" said a clearly worried Brooke. Anna tried to get in between Lucas and Felix but ended up being knocked to the ground accidentally due to her brother's elbow. As Lucas tried to help Anna up, Felix hit him once more causing him to fall down, before helping his sister up and taking her inside. Brooke looked down at Lucas and then to Peyton.

B: Hey Peyt, can you take him inside and clean him up please? I'm gonna go see if Anna's okay and maybe kick my boyfriends ass.

P: Okay I will.

Brooke turned and made her may to the house next door. Peyton looked down at Lucas and gave him a hand up.

P: C'mon Iron Mike, lets get you cleaned up.

Lucas tried to manage a laugh but it hurt too much.

Inside Brooke's bedroom

P: Sooo you gonna tell me what that was about?

Peyton was holding a cloth with ice to the cut on his lip as he held another to the graze on his cheek.

L: It was nothing.

She gave him a look as if to say "Yeah right."

L: He's insecure, I don't know.

P: Is that it?

L: Well I may have kinda broken up with Anna too.

Peyton raised an eyebrow at his statement.

P: May have? Why?

L: Can we not talk about it.

P: Yeah sure, what ever you say Ali.

Lucas rolled his eyes at her second reference to boxing.

P: Hey Luke I'm sorry about yesterday, I was angry and you were in the line of fire.

L: Don't worry about it.

"What's been going on Peyton?" "Well I'm struggling but that's all I gonna say right now. Oh yeah and Jake's back." She answered. "Yeah I know" this comment made her raise the eyebrow again, "How" she replied. "I called him, I figured it would be good for you if he came." She didn't know why he would do that, after all she had acted like a bitch to him yesterday and they weren't necessarily as close as they once were. "Peyton I'm always here if you need someone, no matter how far we drift apart and even if we are not talking, don't think twice about coming to me. Okay?" "Thanks Luke" he got up and gave her a hug, she hugged back. "I think we should do this again" he said looking into her eyes. "What? You get your ass kicked and have me clean it up. Sorry Luke this is a one time thing." He gave a weak laugh. "Nooo, talk" he replied. "Yeah one step at a time though Luke." He nodded.

B: So bestest friend can I talk to this one.

They hadn't noticed Brooke standing in the doorway.

P: Sure I'll just go over and see how Anna's is.

B: Yeah then come back here Goldilocks so we can talk. Okay

P: Okay, Bye Luke. Call me later?

L: Sure.

They smiled at each other before she exited the room.

B: Weeeell. That looked cosy.

Lucas laughed again.

B: You didn't tell her though.

L: I'm getting new friends. First Haley, Nate and now you, and don't say I'll not know until I tell her

B: Okay………You won't though.

L: I know. He said sighing.

Lucas hugged her before leaving her room for the second time that day.

Anna and Felix's House

"Hey you okay?" Anna was lying on her bed reading a magazine now and looked up to find Peyton in her room. "Yeah, stings a little but nothing crucial" she replied. "Yeah and I'll live too, thanks for asking" Felix said changing out of the blood stained shirt he was wearing. "I didn't ask and why did you go off on him like that anyway?" Peyton snapped at Felix. "Oh sorry did I hurt Lucas" he said sarcastically. "He should have thought about that before he broke up with my little sister to try and get back with a girl from his past, none other than my new girlfriend Brooke." Peyton was stunned by Felix's remark and although she wouldn't admit it she was hurt. "Its true Peyton, he told me he was going to see her last night and he ended up interrupting Felix and Brooke last night." Anna said trying to reason with Peyton. "I'm gonna go talk to Brooke" Peyton said before leaving.

Brooke's Bedroom

P: Hey

B: Hey P.S, listen I'm sorry about last night, you should have stayed.

P: Anna told me why Luke broke up with her.

Brooke slightly taken aback by her friend being so upfront.

B: Listen Peyt, he wanted to tell you how he felt himself.

P: Listen what Lucas does is Lucas' business.

B: So you don't feel the same way he does?

P: I'm not following.

B: Do you have feelings for him?

P: WHAT!

B: Wait, is that not what Anna told you?

P: She told me he came here to tell you how he felt.

B: Ooops I forgot to tell Anna and Felix. Smart Brooke. He came here to tell me about having feelings for you, he didn't want to hide.

P: I can't handle this now.

Peyton turned and walked out the door. Brooke tried calling her friend back but she carried on and got into her car, and drove off in a hurry. "Oh my god, what have I done, Luke is gonna kill me" Brooke thought to herself. Brooke tried his cell but it was engaged, she knew there was a chance that it was Peyton calling him or that she was on her way to him now. One thing for certain Brooke had to contact him first or she was going to have one unhappy Broody on her hands.
