Peyton sat on the sofa drawing in her sketchpad. She looked down at what she wrote and frowned…
"Why am I thinking about you now?" she thought to herself
Knock!
Knock!
She threw her sketch book onto the coffee table, and
slowly walked to the front door. She looked out the peephole and the
ground fell from beneath her
"Jake" she whispered opening the door
"Peyton" was all he said as he pulled her into his arms
"W-what are you doing here" she asked holding onto him tightly not wanting to let go
"Someone thought you could use a friend" he said quietly
"Brooke" she whispered
"She told me what happened Peyton" he said "I'm sorry, I know how much you loved him"
"Let's sit" she said as she pulled him to the sofa "I do love Lucas, I love him so much but I'm not in love with him, I was in love with the idea of him, someone who loved me…for me, someone who wasn't gonna leave me, who was gonna be there for me for the rest of my life"
"I guess sometimes we all need somebody" he said taking her hand in his own
"Yeah but people always leave" she said quietly leaning her head on his shoulder

"I wonder if Jake's here already" Brooke thought to herself. She smiled at the thought of him and Peyton together. Oh, P. Sawyer, I just know he's gonna pull you out of this?"
"Hey, you ready?" Lucas asked sticking his head through the door of the shop
"Yeah, I'll be right out" she said grabbing her purse
"Where's Jamie?" she asked looking at the empty back seat.
"He's got a cold, Haley won't let him come" he said "I just figured we should still go since I already had the tickets
"Yeah, yeah we can go, I did say we should hang out more" she said pulling her seatbelt into place. "Let's go watch a basketball game Broody boy"
They drove into the arena, and Lucas quickly found a parking spot. "You look great cheery" he told her as she eased out of the car.
"Thanks" she said glancing down at the Knicks tube top she had made herself with snug dark jeans. They found their seats and Lucas bought them hot dogs and soda. They laughed, and cheered and Brooke couldn't remember the last time she had that much fun.
"I still don't believe what you shouted out to Kobe" Lucas said laughing
"You know it's true, he should have stopped playing for five minutes and seen if anybody else could have scored"
Lucas laughed again
"There's nobody like you Brooke" he said as he opened her car door for her "Nobody quite like you"
"Tell me something I don't know Luke" she said kinking her eyebrow
"I actually do have something to tell you…something did change…with Peyton, I realized why she's not the one for me Brooke…it's always bee-" The loud shrill of Brooke's cell phone interrupted him
"I'm sorry Luke, I have to take this, it might be important" she said apologetically "Brooke Davis" she said into the receiver "You're where? No, no of course, I'll be right there"
"Is everything Okay?" Lucas asked as she flipped her phone shut
"I'm not sure, that was Owen, he's at the store, he said he needs to talk to me now, I'm sorry Luke"
"It's not your fault, I'll get you back there" he said pulling out of the arena
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Owen, what's wrong?" Brooke asked as he pulled her into his arms
God Brooke, I'm so sorry, I've been so stupid"
"What are you talking about?"
"I let you go, because of Angie…and it was stupid…it was stupid because you're an amazing woman with a huge heart, and I don't wanna lose you Brooke" he told her finally pulling away
"You're right…it was a stupid thing to do" Brooke said turning away from him
"Brooke" he said walking towards her and slipping his hands around her waist, let me make it up to you…please"
"O.K" she whispered turning to face him and wrapping her arms around him.
