Thank for all the reviews! A lot more than I thought this story was gonna get.

Oh, and if your wondering; the quotes on the bottom are just my favorite ones from One Tree Hill that make me laugh.

I update pretty fast, but sometimes I get stuck and have to rewrite the whole chapter, so bare with me if some updates are longer than others.

Enjoy! More Brucas!


Once again, it was Monday morning and an anxious Brooke was up early and ready to go. She was at school early waiting for Haley and Nathan with Peyton at her side.

"Your awfully excited this morning." Peyton said as she read a magazine.

Brooke smiled. "Yeah. I'm just excited about the game this Friday."

"The Game? Or who's gonna be at the game?" Peyton teased. Brooke lightly shoved her and laughed.

"Maybe." Brooke teased back. Peyton raised her eyebrows and looked over Brooke's shoulder.

"Well, well, say hi to lover boy for me." Peyton said and picked up her bag and left with a smile. Brooke, who was confused, turned around and smiled when she saw Lucas.

"Hey Lucas." Brooke greeted with a hug. "Wow. Its weird actually not fighting with you first thing, Monday morning."

"Morning to you to Brooke." He laughed. "So, excited about this Friday?" She nodded and waved Haley and Nathan over as they entered the gates.

"Hey Hales." Brooke said. "Nate." They both smiled at her and sat down as Brooke turned back to Lucas.

"So-" She began but was cut off by the one person she officially hated. "Luke!"

"Hey Jessica." He greeted, somewhat annoyed.

"What are you doing over here?" She snapped. "I was waiting for you inside."

"I'm talking to my friends." He said angrily.

She noticed his tone. "Oh, I'm sorry sweetie, I didn't know." Her attention then switched to Brooke.

"Oh, hi bitchy." She smirked.

"Hi drama queen." Brooke smirked back. "You know, I was actually thinking about being nice to you today, but that flew out the window the minute I saw your outfit."

"Your just jealous."

"You have nothing that I'm jealous of." Brooke said and flicked her eyes to Lucas for a moment.

"Yes." Jessica realized. "There is."

"Please." Brooke scoffed. "Like what?"

"He's standing right next to me." Jessica said and stared at her. Brooke was truly shocked. She didn't want to Jessica to know about her feelings for Lucas, so she did the one thing she could.

"Me and Lucas are friends and that's all we'll ever be. I'm not jealous of anything a selfish bitch like you has." Brooke said sadly and noticed a hurt look cross his face. She smiled, maybe he did like her. "If you'll excuse me, I have to leave. Errands to attend to."

"Screwing someone in the janitor closet doesn't really count as a errand." Jessica sneered as Brooke's eyes flashed anger before rolling them and taking off. Haley and Nathan followed after her quickly.

"Jessica, can you not be a bitch for once?" Lucas said angrily. Jessica took a step back and laughed.

"I didn't do anything baby." She said innocently.

"I saw you Jessica. I'm not deaf." Lucas said and took off. She ran up to him and grabbed him arm.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'll try to be nicer to your um..friends." She lied. He nodded and kissed her quickly before heading off to class. She smiled evilly before heading to her own class.


It was Friday now and Jessica hadn't said a word to anyone of his friends; which made them all suspicious. As for Brooke and Lucas, they had been dancing around each other all week. Their flirting and playful banter was starting to piss his girlfriend of and she was about ready to beat up Brooke, but she was gonna save it for the game. They were all standing inside the gym, waiting for the players. Brooke was laughing at something Peyton had said.

"So, when are you gonna admit that you like my boyfriend?" Jessica asked Brooke.

Brooke smiled. "Never, because I don't."

"Please, I can see you two flirt with each other. I'm just warning you to stay away." She warned.

"Your pathetic." Brooke said as she got in line for a cheer once the boys came out.

It was the middle of the game and Jessica was getting extremely annoyed with the looks being passed between Brooke and Lucas. She knew they liked each other; they thought she was stupid. The boys were on the bench and the girls were going out to do half-time when Jessica thought of a brilliant plan.

"Good luck Brooke!" Jessica yelled and Brooke just rolled her eyes and got in line. Her plan was in motion as Brooke began to ready for her front handspring. Right as Brooke did it, Jessica stuck out her foot, which Brooke hit with her foot when she landed. 'Crack'. The entire gym went silent as Haley glared at Jessica from the stands. She had seen the whole thing. She ran down there as the girls crowded around her.

"Man, is that Brooke?" Nathan asked Lucas who was drinking his water.

"What?" He asked, trying to look over at the cheerleaders.

"Dude, thats Brooke." Nathan said, worried. "Come on." Lucas realized what Nathan was saying and ran over to the girls to see Brooke on the floor in pain.

"Brooke, are you okay?" He asked as he leaned down next to her.

"My..foot." She whimpered. He picked her up in his arms and brought her over to the benches where he laid her down.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I'll tell you what happened." Haley yelled angrily. "She's what happened. That little bitch did it all." Haley pointed to Jessica who instantly put on an innocent face.

"Haley, nows not the time to be starting fights. We all know no one likes-" He got cut off. "No Lucas, I saw her do it."

Haley continued. "Brooke was doing her stunt and she stuck her foot out. I should so kick your ass." She yelled at Jessica as she rolled her eyes and looked at Lucas.

"Luke, baby, your not gonna believe her are you?" She asked him.

Lucas looked from Jessica to Brooke. "You know Jessica, just go away. I know how you are and right now I don't want to be around you. You would try to hurt Brooke." He spat "And you know what? Were over!". She instantly went from innocent to angry. She walked right up to Haley and stared her down.

"You'll pay for this nerd." She growled.

"Go ahead. I can kick your ass from here back to bitchtopia where you belong." Haley snapped. "But I actually have a friend who I have to attend to and if any part of her is broken, I won't hesitate to bruise you the same way." Jessica was about to slap her before she felt a hand go around her arm. She looked up and saw Nathan.

"I think you'd better leave." He told her and let her arm go to grab Haley's and head towards Brooke. Jessica just let out a tiny scream and walked briskly out of the gym. Lucas was over by Brooke who was still holding her leg while Lucas rubbed it.

"Shes hurt pretty badly guys. I think something might be broken. Maybe you should take her to the hospital." Lucas told Peyton and Haley. "I'll come with." He told them. "Nathan, will you tell coach I had something important to do?" Nathan nodded and Lucas lifted Brooke in his arms again and took her out to the car.


An hour later and some painkillers, Brooke was in a hospital bed with Lucas at her side. She was asleep from the medicine while Lucas was taking little naps. He heard her groan and he shot up.

"Lucas?" She asked as her eyes opened and adjusted to the lights.

"Yeah. I'm here." He reassured her. "Peyton and Haley are talking to the doctor." She nodded before grabbing his hand and lacing her finger through his.

"Thanks." She said. "For earlier."

"It was nothing. Just glad your okay. Apparently nothing was broken but it was a pretty bad sprain so you'll miss cheer for about a week." He told her and she groaned.

"Oh well, you can come take care of me." She flirted.

"I'd like that." He flirted back. They didn't notice they had been leaning closer to each other until the door opened and they broke apart.

"So Brooke, looks like you can go home. I have a prescription for some painkillers and if you want, we have crutches, if you feel you can walk on it, then you don't need them, but I recommend the crutches." The doctor said. "Just sign these and your free to go." He handed Brooke a clipboard with a paper on it. She signed and he left without another word. Peyton and Haley walked in a moment later with relief across their faces. Haley went to hug Brooke while Peyton stayed back and noticed her Lucas' hands. She smiled and Brooke and gave her a look that said 'were talking later'.

"Well, its just a sprain. So, I'll be better in a week or so." Brooke told them. Peyton and Haley nodded before grabbing their stuff and getting ready to leave.

"We'll get the car ready." The two girls rushed out the door and left the two alone. Brooke flipped her legs over the edge and stumbled a bit before Lucas caught her.

"Your becoming my hero." Brooke teased. "I don't mind though." Lucas smiled before putting his arm around her waist and holding her up.

"Come on, lets get you home." Lucas told her and began to help her walk. They had gotten her home and laid her down. The girls left a while after while Lucas decided to watch her for a while.

"Hey Lucas, you can go home if you want." Brooke offered.

"No its okay. I'd rather stay here and talk to you, if you don't mind."

"I don't mind." She said. He came and sat down on her bed while she flipped through channels. Eventually, he found himself drifting in and out of sleep. He looked down and found Brooke wide awake and looking at him.

"How are you still so awake?" Lucas asked and teased. She just shrugged and smiled which made the dimples that Lucas loved so much show."Well, its almost midnight and mom will kill me if I'm not home, so I'll call you tomorrow." He began to get up but felt a hand on his arm. He turned around and was met with a pair of lips on his. As soon as it began, it ended. Brooke smiled nervously before laying back down. Lucas smiled before walking downstairs and outside to go home.

Later that night, Lucas sat up thinking about Brooke again. He was pretty sure him and Jessica were over as of tonight and he could make a move on Brooke. He knew she liked him from all the flirting and the kiss tonight so he didn't think she would say no if he asked her out. He was still confused on everything though. He turned up the music on his iPOD and tuned the outside world out.

A few yards away, Brooke was thinking the same thing. She had kissed him tonight and she was surprised that she had done that; a happy surprise though. She hoped he took the hint and asked her out already. She knew that he and Jessica were done for after tonight and she wanted him to speed up the process or she would ask him out! She smiled and went to sleep with Lucas, once again, in her dreams.


Brooke: I can't breathe!
Haley James: What?
Brooke: There's no room with Chris's ego!
