At TRIC everyone is celebrating Lucas and Peyton's engagement. When Brooke sees a familiar face in the crowd, she begins to walk towards him when her heart sinks and he kisses another girl on the cheek. "I need some air." Brooke quickly leaves. "should someone go after her?" Chris asks"I should go check on her." Peyton says but then stops realizing the reason why Brooke left so abruptly. "never mind guys I think she needs some time alone." Peyton says glaring at the guy dancing with the woman.The guy looks up and sees Peyton glaring at her. He lets go of his date and goes outside"isn't that-" Lucas trails off realizing who the guy is"Chase yep and I think the shit has hit the fan." Peyton finishes Lucas' sentence(Cut to)Brooke is standing outside the entrance the rain is beging to fall gently. She takes a deep breath and mumbles some sort of explicit. "I deserve that." A voice says in the distance"no you deserve worse but I'm too drunk to really care right now." Brooke says coldly "then why are you out here?" the man asks"not sure." Brooke shrugs her shoulders and walks back inside the man grabs her by the arm"Brooke don't do this." the man pleads as the rain starts to pick up "please just hear me out." he says pulling her close to him their mouths are inches away from each other. Brooke can feel the warmth of his breath against her cold wet skin. She takes a deep breath and shivers as the mixture of the cold air and his breath collide"I don't think I can." Brooke says breathlessly"Brooke please." he says "fine who is she?" Brooke asks point blank"she as in the girl I was dancing with?" Chase asks staring into her eyes"yes her who is she?" Brooke asks as if she already knows the answer" her name is Marcie." Chase takes a deep breath knowing that this is going to start a war. "as in Marcie the reason you were in clean teens?" Brooke says as her voice breaks up "yes." Chase tells her. he knows he should've told her about Marcie sooner, but seeing her the other night brought back so many memories of a time when life was less complicated."so you're with her now?" Brooke asks afraid of what the answer will be but she had to know"not exactly ( Brooke looks at him puzzled) what I mean is that yes we did get back together but after a while we both realized that it wasn't the same." Chase explains"so you two are just friends?" Brooke asks"yes." Chase says as Brooke lets out a sigh of relief. "so why is she here now?" Brooke asks"she and her boyfriend had just broken up and she need someone to cheer her up." Chase tells her"Understandable." Brooke says "so?" Chase asks nervously looking into Brooke's eyes"so?" Brooke trails off. As their eyes meet as if for the first time. Both unable to breathe. The world feels like it is spinning out of control. Maybe it was all the swamp juice she drank or the mere presence of him so close she can smell his cologne. It's familiar sent she breathes in deeply. "I've missed you Brooke." He pulls her in closer. Her hair smells like a fresh field of lilacs in the spring. He gently brushes her hair. The smell of her skin takes him back to a time when things were perfect and untouched. "I've missed you too." Brooke says looking up into his eyes. Their lips are mere inches apart she resists the temptation at hand. How she has longed to feel like this again. The temptation is too much she surrenders to his touch and their lips meet softly. They break apart for just a second "I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that." Brooke says breathlessly"shh." Chase places his finger on her lips and kisses them softly. It's a kiss that is so pure and tender. Something they both have been longing for. The kiss stops and they look at each other their lips swollen and red. The rain is coming down harder both are rain soaked. They don't care it's like nothing in the world matters anymore. Chase slowly pulls away taking off his jacket and gently placing it on her shoulders. She closes her eyes and inhales the scent of his cologne taking her back to that very moment when she knew she could not live without him. For the first time in her life everything finally made sense. She owed it all to him. "how about we go somewhere warmer." Chase offers"I'd like that." Brooke says raspy as she takes his hand and they walk to his car
