2 Hrs later.
Brooke's Apartment:
Brooke was finishing getting dressed for school when Haley walks into the bedroom.
"Hey, skinning for time aren't you?"
Haley says looking at her watch and notices it was 8am.
"Hey yourself, I know I know lost track of time"
She comments not admitting the whole truth but then notices Haley's clothing.
"So from the looks of it so did you"
Brooke looks at Haley's still made bed, then looking at her clothes and sees she is wearing the same ones as the day before.
"Should have brought a change of clothes to Nathan's"
Smiling she notices Haley's expression upon her face and she knew she had hit jackpot.
"I didn't go to Nathan's"
She was never a very good liar that was why she is a good tutor always doing the good and all that and lying was never her best suit.
"Right and I'm not back with Lucas"
"What, I'm not… wait, your back with Lucas?"
Now she had her , she just about admitted it.
"Got ya"
Haley was trapped and she knew it.
"Damn alright fine, well I'm not sure Nathan and I are back together but he and I slept together last night but he was already up and gone before I woke up so I just left , I'm not sure what is going on"
Haley collapsed onto her bed sighing in frustration.
"Lets see ive been Married, on tour almost divorced all of this and I haven't even finished high school"
Brooke started laughing at her room-mate's description of the last year of her life.
"yeah, tell me about it"
"So what's this about you and Lucas?"
Haley asked her, remembering her comment a few minutes before.
"Oh, well last night I went over to his place and gave him the letters yeah I know about time right, I told him why I didn't send them and I went to leave but he stopped me."
Haley's eyes widened up in surprise she had hoped this would happen, she continued to listen.
"Yeah, what happened then?"
"What surprised me was that he told me he forgives me for what happened with Chris . Its strange because a few hrs earlier, you remember I told you I went to see him?.. He wasn't very responsive to me, he was cold and harsh never seen him that way and it scared me."
Haley knew exactly what she meant because Nathan was the same and she had known Lucas for a long time so she knew he was capable of anything even anger.
"Yeah I remember you were very upset about it all, Lucas even though he was mad and angry he can forgive."
Brooke listened to her and knew what she was saying was true.
Sometimes she envied Haley because she knew Lucas in a way that she didn't but then she thought about how much they had been through together, Lucas and herself and she knows him enough and knew within time it will only get better.
"So I tried to tell him that he couldn't forgive me for what happened because it was too much to forgive , but you know Lucas when he says something he wont back down on it."
Haley smiled.
"yeah that's our Lucas"
Brooke went and sat on the edge of her bed, pausing for a moment or two before speaking again.
"Then it happened"
Haley eyed Brooke, confused.
"What happened?"
She asked, curiously.
"I blurted out that I loved him"
Haley dropped her jaw in shock, eyes wide open.
"You did what? And what did he say?"
"He said he loved me back"
Haley stood up and hugged her friend.
"Oh Brooke, I am so happy its about time you guys got your act together and admitted how you really felt instead of this non-exclusive crap"
Brooke rolled her eyes at her but knew she was right, she should have trusted Lucas and believed his feelings were true.
But instead she closed off her heart from him and played this game on being non - exclusive which ended up with him being hurt by her, rather than the opposite.
The last time they were together she had given him all and what happened, he cheated on her with Peyton .
So after he professed his want to be with her again before she left for California she thought it would be better to have things casual no commitment involved, because then there would be less chance she would get hurt but she never thought it could hurt him in the process.
"Yeah I never thought I could be this happy again, not after the last time but I was wrong.
But this time around its different, maybe its because we are more mature or something we've been through a lot since last year and I guess it toughs you up."
Haley agreed with that, about things being different now but for her, she and Nathan were much happier during the first few months of their marriage.
"So he is taking me out tomorrow night . And to top it off he gave me this"
Reaching out her hand, she shows her ring to Haley, glowing with delight.
"wow, that's beautiful Brooke . Who knew Lucas had taste"
Haley joked.
"Yeah tell me about it he says it is a promise ring, promising that we will be together forever"
Brooke's eyes lit up at the mention of him and their night/morning together.
"That's the best news I've heard all day"
They both smiled at each other, then Haley looked at her watch.
"Oh damn, we are going to be fashionably late at this rate so I am going to take a quick shower then we can leave, ok?"
Brooke nodded and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Get going then, we don't have all day."
Haley then ran off toward the bathroom, while Brooke packed her bag and finished with her makeup.
Looking down at her ring she couldn't believe all that happened was real.
How did I become so lucky? She asked herself.
Ever since she was 14 she had become the slut of the school well that is what she was called by every girl and guy .
Brooke, the slut or the good time she often heard them say. She tried not to let it get to her but once she was all alone in her room she cried herself to sleep.
Her parents didn't know anything that happened in her life because they hardly ever saw her, she was just surrounded by maids and servants to service her which wasn't much for company.
She craved attention because she was never given any by her parents and so she had to make it herself.
She had to popular to make people notice her to have guys want her, girls full of envy.
But then came Lucas Scott a guy unlike any other, he was sweet , kind and actually cared about her for a change and not what she could do for him like every other guy on the planet. But then he cheated on her with her best friend , Peyton and she hated them for so long . Because she opened up her heart to him and the first chance he got he hooked up with Peyton and didn't even have the decency to break up with her first.
She forgave him and somehow she managed to fall in love with him along the way, when her parents lost all their money when she was no longer rich, he was there. When she 'dated' Felix and she knew he didn't like it but he was there.
She began to trust in him again, she fell in love with him before she even knew it but couldn't admit it to herself less alone Lucas.
Lucas's House
Just as Lucas was about to leave for school Karen knocked on the door.
"Hey Mom"
"Lucas , can we talk for a minute?"
She asked in a serious tone of voice.
"Sure"
He says, opening the door for her.
"Okay well I noticed Brooke's Car outside last night and then still this morning, want to tell me what's going on?"
He looked around nervously as he knew what he thought was going on which wasn't going on but might soon or later but it will eventually which is what he has to tell her. His thoughts flew through his head like a lightening bolt.
"Uh.. Well as you know something happened"
She stays silent but nods waiting for him to explain himself more.
"Yes,
well I had gathered that"
"Not
what you think"
"Oh no?"
She asked starring right at him just like she did when he was young if he was caught doing something and tried to make an excuse for it.
"Well okay Brooke and I had a disagreement about something a few weeks back that hurt me very much. Although it shouldn't have because we were non - exclusive but nonetheless it did and I reacted badly more than she deserved I admit now.
And she came over late last night to explain and give me a box full of letters she had wrote to me but never sent over the summer.
Okay to make it short she and I made up, Mom I told her I loved her"
Karen was at a loss for words, speechless to say the least she could see the look in his eyes when he speaks about Brooke and she remembered it is how she looked at Dan so long ago.
"Oh Lucas"
Stepping toward him she takes his face in her hands and looks right into his eyes which were becoming full of tears.
"I love her, I do I cant explain when it happened or how but it did. I cant live without her, it hurts to be without her like an ache in my heart that wont go away. She's the one for me I know it and now she knows it too. I guess its true when they say that you know you really love someone when you can forgive their faults even when you never thought you could."
She was proud, proud of him she knew a long time ago that he and Brooke were soul mates and would be together one day.
She didn't know how she knew but she knew, maybe from the look in their eyes whenever their around each other or from the way they spoke about each other.
"I know you do Luke, I've known it maybe even before you did. I saw the look in your eyes when Brooke said you two were just friends and nothing more when she was living here. I could see how much that hurt you and she could too.
I've always known you two would somehow make your way back to each other, true love always does. "
Lucas was surprised at the words coming from his mothers mouth he never thought she thought like that and she was probably right, she probably knew before either of them did.
" Yeah your right, but mom we didn't do anything last night but yes I admit we were in my room all night but I just held her and kissed her , I swear that's all"
She knew this was true but even if it wasn't , it is his life and he can do as he pleases to an extent.
"I believe you its okay, but I do want you to tell me if something more is going to happen and I know it will "
He couldn't deny it not even to his mother because she knew him better than anyone else so he couldn't lie to her.
"And I know I wasn't here when you two took things further the last time you two were together, I don't want you guys to rush and get into a situation that you almost did back then."
Lucas knew exactly what she was talking about, Brooke's False alarm pregnancy it was certainly a wake up call for both of them.
And worse since they were getting on the best , that's an understatement actually she hated him and Peyton for what they did to her and she had every right to be.
He couldn't believe he treated her that way threw away the best thing that has ever happened to him.
His life didn't really start till he met her she was his savior and his source of life and he needed her.
But he was too stupid to realize what he had till he lost it and was unable to get it back - till now.
"Yeah I know I promise we wont be rushing into anything because we have all the time in the world."
She just smiled .
"Okay, now off to school before you will be late"
And with that said, he grabbed his bag and headed for the door.
I'm never letting you go again Brooke Davis.
For once in his life, he couldn't wait to go to school
Because she will be waiting.
That beautiful smile.
Those eyes.
Those dimples.
Oh yes, Life was great!
