Thank you so much for the love. I love you all so much.

ENJOY!!!

I placed our favourite treats and snacks along with some soda and bottles of water on the coffee table and put some snuggle blankets around too so we could get comfy. The girls would be over soon and I felt super bad about yesterday so I wanted to make today nice for us.

Rachel wad right we only have a limited amount of time to do things together before we separate ways and go to college.

"And the Owen was like Rachel really you have to say things like that and I just started laughing and he grunted. It was hilarious" Rachel tells the girls as they walk through the door into my house.

"Hey girls" I greet as Haley shuts the front door.

"Hey" they say together.

"Wow Brooke this looks awesome" Peyton says taking off her coat and hooking it behind the door

"It really does" Haley and Rachel agreed.

"Well I felt super bad about yesterday and we'll I have been in my own head for a few days and I'm really sorry about it. It's just be difficult"

"we understand" Haley smiled "we still love you honest"

"You girls are awesome. Don't know what I'm going to do without" my face suddenly fell.

What was I going to do? We haven't been apart since we were younger. We were always together and now we won't be and my heart ached just thinking about it.

"We might be parting for college Brooke, but you girls will always be my sisters" Rachel says pulling us into a group hug "we will skype often and I'll fly to come to the games you cheer at and we'll all come to tree hill on holiday's. It won't be the same, but it'll be something. I promise"

"Me too. I love you girls" we all agreed. It was set in stone. We will never let the distance affect out friendship. It was too strong for that and so are we.

"Right let's go watch some movies and eat a lot of bad goodies" Peyton smiles "and take lots of pictures for the memories we will always share.

And that's exactly what we did.

"So we've noticed that you and Lucas seem a little distant at school lately" Rachel says as Haley picks another movie to watch.

"Yeah erm... we haven't really spoken since I told him about the college I picked. I'm not sure what's going on" I admit. It was strange to me because I was the 9ne that originally freaked out about the long distance thing and now he is the one reaching to it.

"Is he like mad at you for picking Cali or?"

I shrug my shoulders because I honestly didn't know.

"He said he isn't and that we will sort it out, but then gives me the cold shoulder. I was hoping he'd want to spend all the time he can with me considering how far apart we'll be next year, but I just... I don't know now"

"Maybe go to his house and try to speak to him" Haley suggests "you guys need to talk about it and be honest with each other. You need to decide if you want to do this or not so you can both be together or move on from each other"

And she was right. I need to figure this out with Lucas and I need to do it soon.

"So enough about my love life, what about you girls. You excited for college"

Rachel instantly smiled "I'm super excited to finally be with Owen full time" she says all giddy "he has his own place so I'm going to live on campus the first year and then move in with him the second year"

"Awesome. What about you Hales?"

"Well I'm totally excited to get to college and meet new people and just try new things and of course having Nathan there will be good too. I'm excited to have a room mate"

"Me too" I agree "I'm excited to meet new people and make some new friends and hopefully introduce you girls eventually"

We talk some more about college and about all the things we are going to try and do and everyone seemed so happy to be moving to their new adventure. I just really hope I can continue mine with Lucas somewhat still in the picture with me.

Ping

That noise woke me out of my sleep. I slowly blinked my eyes open and looked at my alarm clock. It said it had just passed midnight. I looked next to e to see Rachel still asleep and Haley and Peyton asleep on the blow up mattress. I grab my phone to see a text from Lucas. I sat up immediately surprised he messaged me and at a late hour.

I'm outside. Are you awake?

He was outside. He drove over here at this hour. Why?

You woke me up, but yes I'm now awake intrigued of why you've come over so late.

I press send seeing he instantly read it and three dots appearing so I wait for his reply.

I've messed up and I need to see you. Come talk with me quick.

My heart instantly pounded against my chest. He messed up? He messed up how? A lot of thoughts were swimming around in my head as I re read his message over again.

I was scared. Scared of what he messed up about. What he wanted to talk about.

Brooke. You still awake?

He sent another message. I had to brace it and find out what he wants to say. I'm terrified, but brave enough to do it.

I'll be right down.

I send back. I slowly pull the covers back and slide into my ugg slippers. I grab my robe and put it on wrapping it tightly closed and tying the knot. I slowly creep out of my room not wanting to wake the others and head down to my front door.

Lucas was standing in my porch with his hands in his hoodie pockets moving from foot to foot. I closed the door behind me send crossed my arms trying to stay warm.

"Hi" was the first thing to come out of his mouth.

"Lucas what's going on?" I didn't really want to pussy foot around I was terrified and cold and I didn't know what he was about to tell me "we haven't spoken probably since I told you about Cali and now you show up at my door in the middle of the night saying you messed up and that you needed to see me. I don't understand Lucas"

"I know I suck and I'm sorry and I messed up" he replies

"What do you mean you messed up?" my mind was on over load and I could feel my hands starting to get sweaty from the anxiety I could feel build in my body "what have you done Luke?"

He quickly looked up at me and I knew he could read me straight away and he did "no Brooke" he quickly says "not like that. I would never do that to you. Not ever" I rush if relief washed over my body and I could feel myself starting to relax a little.

"Then how have you messed up?"

"I distanced myself from you after you told me about Cali. I didn't mean to do it and I know I suck for doing it" I looked away from him "I didn't realise I was doing it until I missed you. Having you being a constant in my life and then suddenly not hanging out with you always or not speaking to you on the phone it sucked and I didn't like it, but then I thought well I have to get used to it because next year you won't be my constant as much"

I got that. I totally did. Not having him with me the last couple of days have sucked and I hated it, but he was right. We both have to get used to it for next year, but on the other hand we have the rest if you school and the summer to be a constant in each others lives and I want that so bad.

"I was so mad at first when you would take ages messaging me back or when we wouldn't hang out, but I understand Luke. You've been my constant as well and it sucked not having you there and I know next year is going to he hard for us both, but right now we have to be in the now instead of the future and spend as much time being a constant for each other over the summer and if we decide to part ways or try the long distance thing then we will decide it together okay"

He nodded stepping towards me. I wrapped my arms around his neck bringing him closer to me placing a soft kiss to his lips "now I'm going back to bed. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Defiantly" he kissed me again and smiled "night pretty girl" and then I watched him walk back to his car before heading back inside to bed.

REVIEW please.

Love You All Millions.
