I know it's been like forever! I am so sorry, I've just been really busy finishing stuff and I recently started doing banners and I've been packed, that I forgot a bit about my beloved fan fics. I should be hit with a bat, literally I'm so sorry! Thank you all for the reviews and Enjoy!

Love you all!

Chapter 14

"Well that was fun Broody." Brooke says with a smile as she puts on her clothes. He was already all dressed and was sitting on a chair. Once she was all dressed he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her shoulder and in between kisses he whispered.

"Thank…You." Brooke closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. He moved to her side, still having his arms wrapped around her and they started walking. She leaned her head on his shoulder and headed towards his house.

Once they arrived they both sat on the swing and cuddled. They were silent for a while enjoying each other's company.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Brooke whispered, hoping to get somewhere. He knew what she was talking about but all he wanted was to avoid the topic. She knew that that is what he wanted to do, but keeping it bottled up is going to make it even worst for him. "Lucas…please…"

"What's the use of talking about it Brooke? I'm still going to lose basketball. Basketball is my life, Brooke, I'm going to lose it." He said raising is voice a bit. Tears filled his eyes just thinking about his condition.

"You're wrong. Basketball is a big part of your life, not your life. Your life is your mom, your friends, school, your books and music and…me. You still haven't lost that and you won't." She said softly.

"I know but I'm not ready to lose basketball. Basketball brought me to my friends, my brother and you. Basketball use to mean something to me, now it's all gone." He said and tears started falling. Brooke was a bit shocked to see him crying but ignore it.

"No… It will always be a part of you heart." She said which lead to Lucas breaking down and she comforted him.

Karen was washing the dishes, when she heard them. She was so happy he had finally talked to someone, she was afraid of how it would turn out but was mostly surprised to who he was talking. Brooke didn't seem like the kind of person who would talk some sense into him. She seemed more like the kind of girl who would have fun and make you forget your worries. Today was the day Karen realized that Brooke was both and she understood why Brooke and Lucas had such a strong relationship, in such a short time. For most people it would take six months even a year or two to build a relationship like them. She watched as Brooke got to the bottom of her son's heart.

Of course Lucas wasn't his complete old self the next day. It would take some time, but at least this time he actually left his room and ate.

He walked into the kitchen and he saw his mom making coffee. Keith wasn't there since he was working at the garage today.

"Hey ma." He said and grabbed an apple from their fruit basket, in the middle of the table.

"Hey, how you doing?' she asked and sat down on the table.

"Better." He paused. "I'm going over to Brooke's house, I'll be back later." He told Karen.

"Ok. And Lucas?" She said when he was half-way out the door.

"Yeah?" He said looking her way.

"I'm glad you're dating Brooke. She's a good person." She stated seriously and smiled at Lucas.

"I know and me too." He replied sharing one last smile with his mom and then he left out the door.

She loved that he was happy but she was scared when reality would sink in on Monday and he would have to give up his place on the basketball team, since Whitey wouldn't let him play. Sometimes she knew that man too well…
