It had been three days finals were today and then winter break started. Nathan walked into school with Brooke, Nathan told Brooke about his winter vacation. Brooke gasped, "You're spending your winter vacation is Tuscany, Italy. I am so Jealous" Nathan laughed "When do you leave?"
Nathan answered, "My plane leaves at seven."
Brooke puzzled, "Today?"
Nathan replied, "Yeah" Brooke nodded and frowned. Nathan noticed Brooke stopped in her tracks when he looked down the hall and saw Lucas he knew why. "Go talk to him get the air clean" Brooke looked at Nathan "Go on."
Brooke left Nathan and joined Lucas. Lucas looked up and said, "Hi I'm surprised you're talking to me."
Brooke spoke, "Yeah me too."
Lucas replied, "You're still mad."
Brooke responded, "That's right I'm still mad."
Lucas asked, "Why?"
Brooke exclaimed, "Because you don't what you want; you don't know if it's me or Haley!"
Lucas stated, "It's not Haley."
Brooke questioned, "Are you sure about that?" Lucas stayed silent "That what I thought."
Lucas remarked, "Brooke, I love you alright and I will do whatever to prove to you that." Brooke's expression slightly changed. "How about dinner tonight? We'll meet at seven at the docks and we'll celebrate winter break and us?"
Brooke nodded and answered, "Sure I guess that sounds good."
Hours had past in the day and Nathan had just finished his last final along with Lucas. Lucas said, "Hey Nate" Nathan faced him "Have fun on winter break."
Nathan smirked, "Thanks. You try and have some fun here."
Lucas remarked, "Funny little brother."
Nathan went home and finished packing and soon it was time to go to the airport. Nathan was hoping Brooke would stop by and say goodbye, but she probably had plans with Lucas,
It was six o' clock Brooke headed down to the docks she wanted to get some shopping in before she met with Lucas.
Meanwhile Lucas stopped by Haley's house. Haley opened the door and said, "Hey Lucas"
Lucas stood there nervous as hell and spoke, "Hey Haley I need to talk to you."
Haley responded, "Okay come on in." Lucas walked in "Sit wherever."
Lucas replied, "That is okay I would rather stand."
Haley puzzled, "Lucas is you alright?"
Lucas asked, "Can Me some water?"
Haley looked at her best friend in question and then answered, "Sure be right back."
Back at the docks it was six thirty Brooke was contemplating something in her mind. Brooke than ran to her car, threw her shopping bags in the back, and pealed out of the parking lot. She sped fast through traffic she looked at the clock as she pulled into the parking garage it read six forty.
Haley brought Lucas a glass of water and noticed he was glancing at his watch she asked, "Do you have some where to be?"
Lucas said, "Maybe."
Haley questioned, "What is that suppose to mean?"
Lucas stated, "It all depends on what happens next Hales," Lucas paused thinking Brooke was right. "Haley you're my best friend and I think I have been taking you for granted. You have been there for me through thick and then."
Haley responded, "Of course well Lucas you have been there for me too."
Lucas replied, "And I want to continue that…Haley James I love you."
Haley smiled and spoke, "I love you too Lucas."
Lucas remarked, "No Haley you don't get it…I love you and I want you." Haley's expression changed and she could not believe what she was hearing.
Brooke ran through the airport to get to the gate where Nathan was at. When she got closer she spotted Nathan she yelled, "Nathan, Nathan Scott."
Nathan turned around and Saw Brooke running towards him. Nathan asked, "Brooke, what are you doing here?"
Brooke gasped, "I had to see you."
Nathan smiled and said, "Thanks for coming to see me off."
Brooke stated, "I love you Nathan" Nathan focused all his attention on Brooke. "I have always loved you I was just so scared. I know we had to break up to grow up, but I miss the happy person I was when I was with you."
Nathan replied, "When we were together Brooke, I never laid all my playing cards out on the table when you wanted to play. You just wanted the king and instead you just got a joker."
Brooke responded, "I don't care about the past anymore. Contemplating on it doesn't matter anymore because we changed go back and change it. But we can change our future and I want you in mine."
Haley stated, "Lucas, no…I can't…you're with Brooke…she's my friend I won't do that to her." Then it hit Haley "You're suppose to be meeting Brooke aren't you?" Then Lucas step towards Haley and kissed her. Haley stopped Lucas "Stop Lucas, go to your girlfriend." Lucas saw he was getting no where and left to meet Brooke.
Nathan couldn't believe everything he's wanted to hear is being said right now. Nathan went over to the ticket counter and said, "I would like to turn in this first class ticket…"
Brooke gasped, "Nathan Scott you can't give up your trip!"
Nathan finished, "For two coach seats" Brooke smiled. "Gee Davis; do you think I would give up a trip to Italy to stay with you in Tree Hill?" Nathan smiled at Brooke "Why do that when I can have you in Italy with me?"
Brooke threw her arms around Nathan's neck and kissed. Brooke said, "I love you Nathan Scott."
Nathan embraced Brooke and spoke, "And I love you Brooke Davis."
