Thanks for the reviews:D

Chapter 16

Monday morning came too quickly for everyone. Lucas and Brooke walked hand-in-hand and they both went to their lockers. Soon after, Lucas was called into Whitey's office.

"I guess you heard." Lucas says as he enters and sits down.

"Well hello to you to." Whitey says slightly annoyed. "Heard what?"

Lucas frowns. "Why did you call me coach?"

"I want to get your advice on next's week play." He says as if it's obvious.

"Um…coach…I can't play anymore…" He pauses as Whitey stays silent wondering what this could be about. "Well, I could but I don't think you'll let me." He says confusing Whitey even more.

"What are you talking about my boy?" He asks concern and he takes a sip of his coffee.

"I have HCM." Whitey says something under his breath but Lucas couldn't hear what it was. They stay silent for a while.

"I'm going to need you to bring back your jersey." Whitey murmurs. Lucas nods and gets up. "Lucas?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry." He says sincerely.

"Me too." And Lucas leaves.

Everyone who was sitting at his lunch table heard about his condition, well the people he could trust, that would let it go all around the school now.

"Hey" Brooke greets him as he arrives next to her with his tray.

"Hey" He greets her back and kisses her briefly. They all eat in silence, trying to munch down their food, except for Tim who is trying to eat and talk at the same time, which pretty much disgusts everyone. After a while everyone was done, either it was because they were full, or Tim made them lose their appetite. Quickly they all started chatting, as their garbage lies on the table. They mostly talked about gossip and whatever was going around in school. Quickly Lucas got bored and so he grabs Brooke's hand gently and brings it under the table. He lays her hand on his leg, while he explores every fold and crevice, with his own hand. (A/N: kind of like, in the prince and me, if any of you have seen it) She moans quietly to herself and gives him a quick glance as he smiles. Seeing as she can't handle it anymore she kisses him and moans in his mouth. He smiles, knowing he was the cause of it. Quickly her hand makes her way under his shirt, exploring his chest. She made her way to his scar and freaks out. She quickly pulls away, but stays close.

"It's okay." He whispers. She looks at him for a second and then nods slowly. She kisses him again, but slowly and passionate, that is until they are interrupted.

"Come on, get a room." Peyton whines. Everyone laughs and Brooke pulls away but keeps her head leaning on his shoulder. Everyone starts talking again, as Lucas passes his hand softly through her hair.

After school, Lucas heads over to Whitey's office to hand in his jersey. He knocks and enters finding Whitey writing something down. He looks up and smiles politely. Lucas smiles back and hands the jersey to him.

"Sit down." Whitey instructs as he takes the jersey. Lucas obeys. "Don't take this HCM hard. I know it's difficult, but I want you to remember that there are other things other than basketball." Whitey advises and pauses. "If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here."

"Thank you." Lucas says and leaves.

Brooke is at her car, leaning on the side as she waits for Lucas to come back from Whitey's office. Bevin sees her and approaches her.

"Hey." She says with a big smile once she is near her.

"Hey, what's up?" Brooke smiles back at her friend.

"Did you hear that Jordan cheated on her-" Bevin says, but is cute off by Brooke.

"Yeah, I heard. Any other gossip?" Brooke cuts in politely.

"Umm… there's this new guy coming here tomorrow. I think his name is Felix, tajero or something like that." Bevin says.

"Taggaro?" Brooke asks in disbelief.

"Yeah, that's it. Do you know him?" Bevin ask curiously.

Brooke freezes for a second. "Umm…not really."

"Ok…." Bevins eyes Brooke suspiciously, but brushes it off once she sees this girl with fabulous boots. Bevin goes rushing over to her as Brooke stays shocked.

Lucas comes over to Brooke, once he finished talking to Whitey. He reaches her and is about to kiss her when he sees that something's wrong. "Hey…What's wrong Brooke?" He asks concerned.
