Chapter 7
Brooke and Peyton arrived at Tric and a bit after Lucas arrived with Nathan and Haley that were still trying to wake up. Lucas woke them up and both had embarrassed faces as they woke up and realized in what position there were in. They told each other that it didn't mean anything since they are just restarting, in a way, but to both of them it meant something.
'Ok. So I got all of the music set up and there are drinks behind the bar and food. They all talked for about two hours but after two hours it was only 4. Since they were all talked out they decided to invite more people. Karen, Bevin, the gang from the river court and Mouth. The party went on until it was 6:30 and everyone said goodbye to Brooke. Brooke and Lucas left at 6:45 and headed to his house since that was where the cab was getting her and where the suitcases were. The whole car ride was silence. They held hands but said nothing. Finally for what seemed like a long and painful ride they arrived at Lucas' house. They had five minutes to say bye and then it would be in three months, if she did come back.
'My cab is coming in five minutes…' Brooke said quietly.
'Come here.' Lucas embraced her into a hug. 'I love you. Don't forget that.'
'I love...you too.' Brooke said in between sobs. She looked up into his piercing blue eyes but could only see sadness. She moved her head towards him and pulled him into a kiss. It was probably the longest kiss they ever had. They pulled away and they both had tears in there eyes.
"HONK" "HONK"
'I got to go. Lucas.' Brooke was on full crying mode now.
'Call me or I'll call you. And take this.' He gave her his grey hoody from Keith's body shop and took her into another hug and a small kiss. They both went out the door, Lucas carrying her suitcases and putting them in the trunk. Brooke got into the car and said bye for the last time. Lucas stared at her cab, until it was gone. He went back inside his house and felt like his world was falling apart.
