Brooke's POV

It was a Saturday afternoon and as always Brooke was waiting for her boyfriend to finally arrive to pick her up for their date. As usual he was late, lately Brooke was even wondering why she still bothered with him, he was always late picking her up and cancelled things at the last minute. Ever since he had come back for his holiday he was so distant with Brooke it wasn't even like they were together anymore. But ever since Lucas had arrived in Tree Hill she also seemed like she wasn't even bothered with her relationship with Chase, she had grown an instant friendship with Lucas, he was really sweet and a great listener the two main things that Chase wasn't. He had really been there for Brooke the past week after they had dinner at his mom's cafe when Chase left.

She quickly text Chase asking him where he was and if he didn't hurry up to not bother coming at all which knowing Chase the way Brooke did he probably wouldn't. Brooke knew that her feelings for Chase were definitely not as strong for him as they used to be, actually she doubted her whole relationship with him altogether.

She changed out of her dress and shoved her hair up into a loose ponytail, went downstairs and stuck in some cheesy chick flick; she knew it was going to be a long boring night.

About an hour into the movie Brooke thought what the hell was she doing, alone on a Saturday night watching a really rubbish soppy movie, when she could be out with her friends forgetting all about her stupid Chase issue. She grabbed her phone and text Nathan if he wanted to go to a party down by the beach she heard was happening this week. She ran upstairs quickly, did her hair and shoved her little black dress on that she was wearing earlier that night. Nathan text back saying he will be there in 10 minutes. She went downstairs and waited till there was a knock on the door. Nathan being Nathan just let himself in.

"Hey, what made you suddenly want to go to a party , thought you had planes with Chase" Nathan said with a smirk plastered on his face knowing full well that Chase would have stood Brooke up. He had always hated Chase and was just waiting for Brooke to open her eyes and realise he was just an ass.

"Ha ha, so funny Nate can we please just go, I really don't want to think about that jerk tonight" she said pushing Nathan out of the door and locking it behind her.

"So where do you want to go, I heard there's allot of parties happening tonight "he said jumping into his car and starting the engine.

"Anywhere except from here, me and you both know that a party is definitely not a party till we get there" Brooke said with a smirk on her face. "Very true" Nathan replied laughing zooming down the street to the nearest party he could find.

They arrived at Bevin's house were they could spot a mile away that there was defiantly a party going on. They girl maybe be ditsy but she knew how to throw one hell of a party. Brooke made her way inside crabbing the nearest red cup she could find and filling it with beer, Nathan had already gone on a hunt for Peyton or Haley she didn't even know these days. She turned into the living room were sofas had been pushed to the side the make a large dancing area which was being used up by her very wasted cheerleading squad. She looked around and spotted the guy she was hoping for to be here standing in the corner of the room talking to Jake so she made her way over.

"Hey Luke...and Jake" Brooke said pulling then both into a hug knowing when she hugged Lucas that she tensed slightly under his touch hoping he didn't notice.

"Hey Brooke, were Chase?" Lucas said with smile on his face this party had suddenly got much better.

"Oh who knows, who cares, but what I do know is that I could really use a refill" Brooke said looking at Jake as he grabbed her and Lucas's cup to go and refill them.

"So Lucas...what are you doing here, I didn't think these parties were your kind of thing".

"There not really I guess I was hoping I'd bump into you here" Lucas said smiling shyly.

"Aww well thank you, but how trashy does that make me sound because obviously you would find Brooke Davis at a party" Brooke said laughing as Jake came back and handed her and Lucas there drinks.

"Oh...Sorry" Lucas said laughing back.

"Right well I'm off to find erm... Haley see you guys later...Oh and Brooke try not to get too wasted" Jake said laughing walking off into a big crowd.

"Ha ha Jake, but he is probably right" Brooke said laughing to herself

"So I take you and Chase are arguing" Lucas said trying to hind the fact that he was pleased.

"Oh well not really, he just keeps ditching me and things, I mean it's like he has changed since he came back of his holiday, like before that he used to be really nice and treat me well but now it's like he doesn't even care about my feeling and....sorry I'm blabbing you don't want to hear about me and Chase"

"No...No its fine I just wanted to make sure you were ok" Lucas said with a reassuring smile."Oh I'm ok Lucas, but I know what would cheer me up... another drink "Brooke said laughing handing here cup to Lucas. He took and made his way through the crowd to the kitchen.

Brooke had been at the party all night and was now two in the morning and she had to admit she was wasted. She was trying to forget all about her problems with Chase by chucking alcohol down here neck. She has been hanging out with Lucas all night basically, they had talked about everything from his old life to how he likes his new one every conversation making less sense the drunken Brooke got.

"Hey Brooke, I think that maybe you have enough" Lucas said trying to take the red cup out of Brookes hand. "Do you want to know what I think Lucas .... That you are very very right" Brooke slurred handing Lucas the cup."How about you take me home, because I have no idea where Nathan has gone probably making out with your sister when he is supposed to be going out with my best friend"

"Oh I take Nathan told you about him and Haley kissing" Lucas said walking Brooke to his car.

"Yes yes he did, you see Nathan tells me everything Lucas, were like this "Brooke said showing Lucas here crossed fingers. As Lucas chuckled slightly and putting Brooke into the car.

Nathan's POV

Nathan had been looking for Brooke for about half an hour wondering where the hell she had disappeared to, and then he got a text from Lucas telling him he had taken her home because she was wasted. Typical Nathan thought to himself he turned into the kitchen where he saw his girlfriend playing a game of "I never" with a group of people, deciding to not join "only turns into trouble". He walked upstairs to find the nearest bathroom before deciding to go home "god when did I turn into such a bore". He turned to and opened the door to see two people full on making out. "Oops sorry, my bad" he said to the couple before they both turned round to reveal that the two people full on making out was in fact Jake and Haley, much too Nathans surprise "Haley"
"Nathan I..."
"I'm sorry I have to go" Nathan started to walk out of the house hoping to get out before anyone else saw him or seeing something else that turned his stomach. He hated how jealous what he had seen had made him. He had a girlfriend a girlfriend that he had been with for over a year why did him meeting Haley and knowing her only 4 weeks change all that. Nathan had just made it outside when he heard her voice. "Nathan please wait..."
"Haley I really don't want to talk right now just go back inside to Jack"
"Hey I'm not the one with a long term girlfriend you remember Peyton"
"Do you... you didn't seem to care about Peyton when you were kissing me last week"
"Exactly a whole seven days ago and you have spoke to me once. You kissed me... You're the one with the girlfriend... you're the one who got jealous when you saw me with Jake... the ball was in your court and you did nothing... you..." Haley was cut of my Nathans lips. It was just as passionate as last time but this time Haley was thinking with her head and she pulled away.
"Stop doing that stop thinking you can just kiss me and everything be forgotten I'm not going to be your dirty little secret and I'm not going to do it to Peyton anymore so you need to sort this out before we do that again" Haley said and then walked back into the house. Nathan knew she was right he owned it to Peyton to be honest. He knew it was going to be messy but something told Nathan that Haley was worth it.

Lucas arrived at Brooke's house and helped her into her house."Right Brooke so I'll get going now do you think you'll manage from here" Lucas said as he unlocked her door. "Yea I'll manage I'm drunk not an invalid" she said laughing."Yea, well I'll be off then" leaning down and hugging Brooke, When Lucas tried pulling away Brooke held on tighter and looked into his eyes, she lead in to him but before she could do anything else he pulled further away from her and let go. Brooke tried to not let Lucas see the hurt in her eyes. "What you doing I thought you were into me" Brooke asked him he hadn't said anything but Brooke wasn't stupid. "I am but Brooke I've been thinking about this moment since the day I meant you and I want it to be perfect for us and not something you will regret to tomorrow or maybe not even remember given how much you have had to drink I want it to be special" Lucas gave Brooke a kiss on the cheek and walked to the door. "See you later Cheery"
"Bye Broody".
