Reasons that reason cannot know

Chapter 7

Brooke was standing there, in front of his door. It brought so many memories to her head.

"I never gave a rat's ass before, ok? But I do know."

"That's good because I give a rat's ass about you too."

"I'd miss the girl behind the red door…

You did this for me?

I wasn't ready to loose you yet.

I wasn't ready to be lost"

"There're 82 letters in here, and they're all addressed to you… I love you."

"I love you too, Pretty girl."

Suddenly, Brooke came back to reality and she was there to surprise Lucas. She sneaked in his room and saw a sleeping person. She jumped on the bed.

"Hah!"

Then the sleeping person woke up, but that was not Lucas.

"You're not Lucas!"

There was a woman. She probably was…

"And you're Brooke Davis!"

"Yeah. Hi, you're… wearing me. 'Clothes over Bros' is my line."

"Yeah and I love it."

"Thanks!"

"And you're so beautiful in person."

"Thanks, so are you."

"Ok, this hasn't happened to me since college."

It was confusing. She knew that Lucas had a girlfriend, but it was still upsetting.

"Right. Ok, um…"

Lucas walked into the room, returning from running.

"This hasn't happened to me since college."

Brooke looked at him. She already knew she missed him, but she has not realized how much until she saw him. It was so good to see him.

"Hi, Luke."

God, it was such a long time since he last saw her. It felt so good to have her around again. He opened his arms and Brooke jumped in them.

"Oh, I missed you."

Brooke was again in Luke's arms. The safer place in the whole world. She felt so good holding him, feeling him, touching him again.

"I missed you too."

"How long has it been? 2 years?"

"Yeah, something like that."

"How's Anna?"

"Growing every day."

It was hard for her to talk with him about her, knowing she has lied to him, but she smiled when she mentioned her.

They looked at each other and they both knew the other one was happy that they met again.

"Um, I'll go to the bath."

Suddenly, Lucas realized Lindsey was there.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Brooke, this is Lindsey, I told you about her last time we talked. Lindsey, this is Brooke Davis."

"Nice to meet you! Lucas told me a lot about you."

"And I happen to lot about you, Brooke."

She seemed nice. And Lucas seemed happy. And this was what Brooke wanted. But was it still painful?

"Ok, Luke, I'm gonna go, I have to get Anna and look around for a house."

"Ok. It's good to see you again, Brooke."

"Yeah, you too, Lucas."
