It was a Saturday morning and Brooke and Audrina were sitting on the couch munching on cheerios and watching cartoons. Lucas was in the shower and Brooke was messing with his phone, trying to get the phone to ring "Barbie Girl" when she called.

"3 new messages…hmm chipmunk lets see if Daddy's secret lover is calling" Brooke giggled, punching in the code.

"Hey, Lucas, its Haley call me about dinner at Chili's" the message played.

"Old" Brooke muttered, deleting it.

"Hey Lucas, this is Brandon call me about your decision, ok?" a male voice said.

"Decision? Hmm…" Brooke went to next message.

"Dude, you have GOT to call the Cav's coach back" Nathan's voice lectured. "Call me and tell me what you decided. Haley wants to know too"

"What is this?" Brooke said to herself. Just then, Lucas came out of the shower.

"Hey baby"

"Before you baby me" Brooke said. "I listened to your phone messages"

"Oh" Lucas said. Here it comes he thought.

"What is this 'decision' that I don't know about?" Brooke demanded. "And the Cav's coach is calling you? Are you hiding something from me, Lucas?"

"Brooke…" Lucas sighed.

"No, don't 'Brooke' me" Brooke said. "I wanna know now"

"The Cav's coach wants me to join the team" Lucas said. "I'm practically guaranteed a spot if I move to Ohio by the end of June"

"Move…to Ohio?" Brooke's voice faltered. "This big of a decision and you weren't gonna tell me?"

"Brooke…I'm sorry I WAS" Lucas pleaded.

"But Nathan and Haley knew before your girlfriend"

"I told Nathan I didn't know he told Hales!"

"I cant believe something this BIG is happening and you wanted to hide it from me! Why?" Brooke asked.

"Brooke I know it would kill you to have to move to Ohio and…"

"I'm not moving" Brooke said plainly.

"Brooke this is SUCH a big opportunity"

"That would mean leaving my degree behind and moving Audrina and leaving my home and it's not gonna happen" Brooke said.

"You can't honestly say that" Lucas said. "This is a great opportunity for me, Brooke!"

"What about me and my degree and work?"

"There's colleges in Ohio and with my paycheck you wouldn't even have to work… you could stay home and spend lots of time with Audrina-"

"Lucas Scott, you better not be insinuating that I be a cookie baker mother! You know me and how I feel about that!"

"Brooke, baby please be reasonable"

"I'm not going to move!"

"It's a great place…four million dollars just for a contract, Brooke"

"Not happening" Brooke said.

"You know what, Brooke? This is ridiculous. This is such a great opportunity for me and you are being incredibly selfish" Lucas snapped.

"I'm being incredibly selfish? Did you ever stop to think what would happen to Audrina if we moved her so far? I'd never see Haley or Peyton. Do you ever think about anyone but yourself?"

"Audrina is TWO, Brooke, she wont even REMEMBER Chapel Hill! I'm doing this for you and Audrina, so we can be more financially stable and so you can spend time with her at home"

"Because I am such a TERRIBLE mother that I don't do enough of that now?"

"NO Brooke" Lucas yelled. "This is absolutely RIDICULOUS! I can't believe this comes along and you're being so self centered. You wont see Peyton and Haley every hour of every day, big DEAL! Brooke we have a child we need to support!"

"Cant we do that here? In North Carolina?"

"It would be so much nicer in Ohio!"

"You can go to Ohio, Lucas"

"Are you saying we should break up?"

"I'm saying exactly that" Brooke said.

"Brooke…you aren't serious?"

"Dead serious" there was thunder in Brooke's eyes and her tone was ice cold. "If basketball means more to you than my happiness, then basketball is clearly what you should go after"

"Brooke you know you mean the world to me" Lucas pleaded. "I want to be with you"

"Then you'd stay here"

"And do WHAT? I cant flip burgers my entire life! This is the difference between 20,000 dollars a year and 4 million!"

"So now you want money over me?"

"No I just want you and Audrina to have everything you want. I want you to be able to buy nice things and I want Audrina to be able to get whatever she wants…Brooke"

"Lucas, you can't expect me to pick up and leave my home"

"Don't you wanna be with me?" Lucas asked.

"Of course I do!" tears quivered in her eyes. "But I can't leave!"

"You're so stubborn, Brooke, I can't believe it! Why can't you move with me? I understand it'll be hard, but it's not gonna be earth shattering!"

"I'm sorry Lucas" she whispered. "It's over"

A/N: Super short chapter, I know. But I felt that I shouldn't crowd it too much. Reviews would be nice.
