Better rate it T just to be safe.

1 week later

General POV:

Things were smooth sailing for Lucas and Brooke the following week. Little did they know things were going to get more complicated, much more.

"Hey Luke." Brooke said as she joined him as they walked to his locker.

"Hey pretty girl." Brooke blushed when he called her this. She couldn't stop and she had a feeling she never would.

"So are you going to Nathan's party?"

"I'm planning on it. Would you make my life worthwhile and join me Ms. Davis?" Lucas said with while attempting to hide the obvious entertainment he was getting from this…and it wasn't working.

"Why, Mr. Scott, I'm flattered! I'll have to see who else asks me before I agree to anything." She added as she saw Lucas get serious.

"Luke, I'm kidding, who else would I want to go with?"

"That was mean, very mean. But I love you anyway."

"I love you too, Luke," she said before she walked away and he was surprised at how serious she had become on the subject of love, which is exactly what he wanted.

Later that day:

Brooke and Haley were sitting I their apartment talking about the usual.

"So Brooke, how's life with Lucas?"

"Oh My God Hales, it couldn't be better. I just love him so much."

"I'm happy for you two, I really am."

Brooke saw the sad look on Haley's face. Damn Nathan.

"Oh Hales. I'm so sorry. I totally shouldn't have said that."

"No it's cool. Don't worry about it."

"Hales, Nathan will come around, you'll see."

"I hope so." Haley finished with as she wiped a tear away.

"Come here." Brooke gave Haley a tight hug before jumping up.

"Okay, so enough of this depressing crap. I take it you're going to Nathan's tonight?"

"Um…actually…"

'Say no more Haley James…Scott…whatever you're name is…YOU'RE GOING! Now let's go find you something to wear. Brooke pulled a reluctant Haley up by her hand and led her to her closet.

At the party:

Everyone was having a great time at Nathan's party, even Haley. Brooke and Lucas were sitting on the couch with her legs draped over his, simply enjoying each other's company.

"Hey Luke, I'll be right back."

"Am I boring you that much?"

"NO! I have to pee."

"No! Don't' leave me."Lucas whined as he grabbed her hand.

"Oh, grow up you big baby…. my baby." She bent down and gave him a kiss.

"I love you."

"I love you too Brooke." He watched her retreating form until he couldn't see it anymore and turned to talk to Tim.

Brooke was making her way to the bathroom when someone came out of nowhere and grabbed her. They pushed her into an empty bedroom and put their hand over her mouth. When the door finally closed behind them, she finally got a good look at him. She pushed his hand off her.

"Vegas? What are you doing?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Wha--?" But she was cut off when he kissed her. She tried to push away but he was so much bigger than her and he was putting all of his force into this kiss. He started to undress her while his lips were still on hers. Finally when he moved his mouth….she screamed but all too quickly, he covered her mouth with his own again.

"Shut up or I'll kill you."

Outside, Lucas realized Brooke should have been back by now. He got up and made his way to the bathroom, only to see that the door was wide open and no one was in there.

"Brooke?" Then he heard it.

"Lucas!" She screamed. He followed her scream to a bedroom with the door closed and got ready to kick it open, scared of what he might find, or who. When he kicked it open he saw a half-naked Vegas on top of a half-naked Brooke, and Vegas didn't look like he was going anywhere.

"Luke…help me!"

He walked over to Vegas.
"Get the hell off her!'

"Go away man. As you can see, we're in the middle of something."

"Well not anymore. Get off her before I call the cops, you scumbag."

Vegas just smirked at Lucas and Lucas snapped. He threw vegas against the wall, knocking him out. He immediately ran over to Brooke who was huddled in a ball on the bed. He sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her shaking frame.

"I-I..said s-st-stop but he…he."

"Shhh…Brooke. It's okay, you're okay."

All of the commotion got everyone's attention and they all stood by the dorrframe. Lucas stood up and told everyone to leave, except for Peyton and Haley. He had a feeling Brooke needed them now, more than ever. Lucas took Brooke back into his arms and she laid his head on his chest and cried…hard. Peyton stroked her hair and Haley rubbed her back soothingly.

"It's okay baby. You're safe."

And she believed him. Why shouldn't she? She was surrounded by her two best friends and the love of her life. How could she not be safe?

A/N:I know…sad…I'm sorry if you all hate me. I have a big weekend coming up but I'll updates as soon as I can. Let me know what you think!
