Sorry for not updating. I didn't know what to write for this chapter so it's kind of a filler. There will be more drama soon. And like always thank you for the support and please review.

Brooke watched Lucas' chest rise and fall as he slept. After she had admitted that she loved him they just stayed and talked. She didn't really remember what about but she didn't care either. And even in his sleep he was smiling, though nothing could match the goofy grin on her face. She couldn't believe they were finally together. For years it had always been her and Lucas. Until high school started and Felix Taggaro asked her out. She had accepted and they had started dating. She wasn't that crazy about him but everyone was so jealous that she was going out with the most popular boy in school. But just because she had a boyfriend didn't mean that she was going to stop hanging out with her best friend. Every boy she had tried to date was jealous of her relationship with Lucas. Although Lucas only had one girlfriend the same applied to her. Peyton Sawyer. That was the first time she though she had feelings for Lucas. Peyton was the popular cheerleader that everyone wanted to date, and she chose Lucas. So if Lucas would tell her he already had plans with Brooke, she couldn't handle it. It was supposed to be all about her. She was the last real girlfriend he had. Their had been many Rachel's over the years but none that stuck. Thinking it over Brooke though it was inevitable they would eventually get together. She continued to stare at him for a few more minutes when his eyes fluttered open.

"Hey pretty girl, you're up? Why didn't you wake me?" Lucas sat up and grabbed her hand stroking it with his thumb.

"You looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake you," Brooke smiled up at him.

"So what have you been doing?"

"Nothing, just thinking," Brooke replied yawning. "I should call your mom. She told me to tell her when you're awake. She is so worried."

Brooke quickly dialed the familiar number and waited for Karen to pick up.

"Karen's Café," Karen answered.

"Hey Karen, I was just calling to tell you that Lucas is up and he's fine."

"Can I talk to him for a minute?" Brooke handed Lucas the phone.

"Guess what I got in the mail today?" Karen sounded so excited Lucas couldn't even begin to imagine what had happened.

"What, ma," Lucas groaned. It was probably going to be some invitation to something that he didn't want to go to.

"We got a letter from UNC and they are giving you a full ride," Karen squealed and Lucas was ecstatic.

"I have to go I have a customer," Karen said good-bye and hung up.

Lucas couldn't imagine a more perfect day. A full scholarship to the University of North Carolina and Brooke said she loved him.

"What did she say?" Brooke asked, curious to what the excitement was all about.

"I got a full ride to UNC," Lucas said with not as much excitement as when he first heard the news. He had never thought about colleges in their relationship. They had applied to some of the same schools but then it was just because they were friends. Now that they were going to date he wanted to go to the same school as her.

"Lucas that's unbelievable. I'm so proud of you," Brooke hugged him.

But she was having the same thoughts he was. UNC was not one of her first choices. She wanted to go to either NYU or Duke. Duke was at least in the same state but New York would be pretty far. Especially for such a new relationship. Neither wanted to bring up these things just yet. They would discuss these things when they came. For now they should just enjoy the time they had together.
"So since everything went so well, I get out if the hospital tomorrow morning. And I am taking you on a date," Lucas decided to think about a happier topic. Brooke. His best friend and the love of his life. Everyone said that high school sweethearts never work out in the end. Obviously they had never met Brooke and Lucas. They were so perfect for each other it was fate. They were soul mates and Lucas couldn't imagine feeling this way about anyone else. Brooke Davis was the girl for him.
