She threw her keys in the ignition everything was faling apart. Who knows where she would go, but her parents would probaly divorce leaving her with who? Her mom wold see to it as she wason the street and her dad surely didn't want her. She drove recklessly trying to erase everything, running red lightsand driving way to fast. She tried to focus 'where are you gonna go brooke' she thought and his name kept running through her mind Lucas, lucas would take care of you. 'Its not his job' she reminded herself She finnally decided pulling up to Nateand Haleys house; nathan and her had always been close, and Haley was lately.She figured it was the best option. She slowly pulled up to the small apartment. Jumpig from the car she ran up the steps putting he best cheerleader face on. Knocking loudly..

Hayley opened the door quikly

"Bbbrooke.."Hayley stuttered,

"I was just wondering if I could stay here for a while."

"Yea umm but you, you don't look so hot.."

"Me, o well I got in a bitch off with another cheerleader.

"Ohh well um Brooke why dont you go get your stuff and.."

"I have my stuff."

"ok well why dont we goto karens for a early lunch??"

" Tutorgirl is there a reason you trying to get rid of me?"

"Um well know"

"Then im gonna just take a nap I woke up way to-Lucas.."Brookes jaw hit the floor; he'd came out from the bathroom.

He swiftly moved next to Brooke

"What, what happend"He checked her over with a stern glance

"Ohh she had a little cat fight with a cheerleader"Hayley nervously joked

Lucas looked at her with those big blue eyes. He knew what had happend,and his heart was breaking. Somebody he loved was hurting her and he could do nothing about it. He wanted to know the details, no he needed to know

"Really? Well Hayley atchully-"He knew what he was doing, scaring her into thiking he'd tattle so she'd brig him somewhere private to yell

"Me and Lucas have to head out, some project."sh finsihed his sentence stomping out the door with him dragging behind. She hopped int her car slamming the door,and he sat next to her-as expected.

"What the hell was that?! I thought i could trust you"she yelled her emerald eyes burning with fury. Lucas laughed he hadn't meant to , but she was cute when she was mad.

"Is fucking up my life some kind of joke to you?!"

He immeadaty felt guilty

"No Brooke I wasn't gonna tell Hayley, but i thought it was the only way to talk to you."

"oh; well then talk."Brooke sighed

"Please Brooke just let me in I swear if you do I'll never hurt you again. I love you more then anyone or anything. I want to be with you. I know i messed up but Peyton she means nothing compared to you,and seeing you hurt like this is killing me."He whispered his eyes tearing

'he seemed so sincere, maybe its time' she thought. A tear slid down her cheek

"Ok."she whispered "but please dont hurt me again luke because im not sure i could take it.." Before she could finish he pulled her onto his lap.

"Brooke I will never hurt you like that again"He said wiping away her tears. They laid there for a while, her head buried in his chest as he stroked her soft hair.

'what did i do to deserve a second chance with her'he thought

"Brooke"he wispered; she looked up at him to let him know she heard him

"stay with me? At the house moms in italy, and keith decided to go fly off to surprise her there..So im alone"

"Luke.."

"Please I just want you to be safe"he stuttered his eyes were glazed and he held her tight

"ok luke" she spoke nervously; his smile brightened "but luke your gonna have to take your time with me because my heart and trust are still pretty messed up"

"I know pretty girl, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get through this with you, because I I love you.."he spoke nerrvously awaiting her reply

"I love you too broody."she giggled

"wanna get ur stuff and go back to my house?"

"yea lets go" she opened up the car door as he draped his arm around her waist pulling her closer then ever thought possible.

"Im never letting go again"he whispered

"promise?" he turned her around to face him

"I promise Brooke I won't screw us up again."he rested his head on hers.."and i'm gonna prove it to you." she smiled pullng away

"lets grab my stuff.."

Brooke ran inside

"I have to take a shower" she said, avoiding carrying the bags

"ohh so u think you can get away just like that huh?"he yelled

"yes i do"she giggled

"you just wait till i get these bags in!"

she ran inside laughing. She turned on the shower and stripped. her neck was covered with bruises. Along with alot of her body. 'ok c'mon brooke your safe now' she thought.

about 15 min later

Brooke dried her hair and put some sweats and a tank top on.

"Luke"she yelled "Luke"she was getting nervous"Luke c'mon this isn't funny.." she was getting scared where was he? She hatedbeing alone

"Roarrr"Lucas jumped out grabbing her trembaling arms. She looked at him with scared eyes

"Brooke I didn't mean to scare you I just.."

"Its ok I just i dont know thought the worst"Her eyes watered

"hey hey i'm so sorry."his words were gentle as he pulled her into his arms

"Can we just lay down im so tired.."

"I can take the couch brooke"

"no I want to feel you next to me."

"I was hoping you'd say that"he smirked
