Okay so I didn't get as many reviews last time so I hope you guys aren't losing interest. Anyways thank you so much for all of those that did! I loved them! Here is Chapter 11 and sorry for the long wait!

Chapter 11

There was school today, and everybody was dreading it. Especially Brooke and Lucas. They still hadn't talked to one another and Brooke was going to try and avoid him. She figured that sneaking around was out of the picture now, but Lucas had a different idea.

Lucas wanted to talk to Brooke, and tell her that he knew the answer to her previous question. But that would be hard if Brooke was avoiding him.

Brooke was walking down the hallway with Haley sighing every once in a while to get Haley's attention.

"What's wrong Brooke?" Haley finally asked.

"It's Lucas." Brooke said.

Haley groaned.

"Brooke I thought you guys were back together?" She asked. Nathan hadn't told her anything because Lucas said he wasn't ready to tell her just yet.

"Well, we were but then I said that he needed to answer my question and…" Brooke began.

"Brooke, you're rambling. Start from the beginning." Haley instructed.

Brooke sighed and was thankful that it was lunchtime. Haley and Brooke sat at a table a little bit away from the others with Haley explaining that she had to tell Brooke something. Brooke loved how Haley cared about her. They had been so close, and Brooke was really grateful for that ever since what had happened with Peyton. They sat down at the round tables and Brooke began to speak.

"Okay, please don't be mad at me when you find out low long this has really been going on…" Brooke began.

"Just tell me Brooke." Haley replied.

"Okay, well it all started after the banquet. Lucas and I agreed that we weren't right for each other and we broke up. So the next day at school I thought was going to be awkward but it turns out, I can avoid him for the morning periods. That worked to my advantage. But then that pervert of a teacher winked at me and I just…I got really upset. I don't even know why. I usually just ignore him whenever he does that but that day, I couldn't. So I ran into the bathroom and I heard a voice outside of it. It was Lucas. He asked if I could come out of there and then he pulled me into a hug. And then…well…it kind of escalated into something else…"

"Out with it!" Haley demanded.

"We kissed okay? Like really really kissed. We went in a janitors closet Hales, I don't think friends do that!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Okay, okay, you're right friends don't do that." Haley said trying to process this in her head.

"And so then we would just keep sneaking off to go and make out. But then he kissed me in front of everyone at school and we went inside together. We were kissing and he wanted to know what this meant. I said that I didn't know." Brooke continued.

"Brooke! Why did you do that? I thought you still loved him?" Haley exclaimed.

"I do, but just weeks ago he said that we weren't right for each other." Brooke said sadly.

"So?" Haley asked still not getting the point. Haley was a smart girl, but when it came to relationships, she needed a little work. And she had Brooke for that.

"So what makes us right now!" Brooke yelled.

Haley finally understood. Brooke was worried that he only wanted her for her body, not who she was. She wasn't worried about Peyton anymore. She trusted him. But now she was worried that he didn't really love her.

"You're…right." Haley said quietly.

"I know, and I hate it." Brooke complained and put her head on the table.

"I don't think he likes you only for your body. I mean Brooke, he went out with you and said that he loved you. A true guy doesn't say that." Haley said.

Brooke thought about this.

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Brooke replied.

"And look, Tric is having Kt Tunstall play there…" Haley said trying to bribe Brooke into going.

"Haley, I don't even know who KW Tunswall is!" Brooke yelled.

"Jimmy Eat World?" Haley asked hopefully.

"I know them!" Brooke exclaimed.

"So you'll go?" Haley asked.

"Yeah, I'll go." Brooke said in defeat.

Haley could always make her go places even when she didn't want to. But now the hard part was, if she went, what would she do with Lucas?

Haley was working in the café when Lucas walked in.

"Hey Hales." He greeted.

Haley didn't look too happy with him.

"What did I do now?" He asked her.

"How could you not tell me!" She exclaimed.

"Tell you what?" He asked.

"About you and Brooke!" She yelled.

"She told you?" He wondered.

Haley looked confused but then realized that maybe Lucas wasn't supposed to know that she knew.

"Uh…yeah?" Haley said nervously.

Lucas relaxed a bit, knowing that he wasn't the only one that wasn't quiet about the whole thing. But now, he had to deal with the wrath of Haley.

"Luke, how could you not tell me?" Haley questioned again.

"I just… we weren't supposed to tell anyone. But then it got all serious and…"

"And now the both of you are spilling your guts to everyone." Haley finished.

"Yeah." Lucas said and sighed.

Haley looked at the counter, her elbows resting on it. Lucas looked up at her.

"So you've talked about it with her then?" He asked. He knew it was a stupid question but lately, he had been clueless.

"Yeah, she filled me in on everything." She responded.

"And?"

"And I think what you guys did was pointless! I mean come on, back to the friends with benefits thing? Lucas you hated it when Brooke did that with Felix and now you're basically Felix!" Haley exclaimed.

"I know, but we were vulnerable, especially her. It was just comforting and then it all…happened." He explained.

"Is it done?" Haley asked seriously.

"I…I don't know." Lucas said.

Haley nodded. She didn't think Brooke knew either.

"Are you going to talk to her about it?" she asked.

"Yeah, but she's been avoiding me so it's kind of hard."

"She wants to talk to you, you know." She told him quietly.

"She does?" Lucas' head rose.

"Yeah, but she just doesn't know what to say." Haley explained.

"I just wish she could get past that Peyton and me thing that happened…" He began.

Haley laughed. Lucas was her best friend, but he didn't read girls very well.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"Nothing…you'll have to talk to her. Listen, are you going to Tric this Friday?" Haley asked.

"No, why?"

"Come on it'll be fun. And it'll take your mind off of Brooke for awhile."

Lucas wanted to do anything that would take his mind off of Brooke. It seemed that she was always in his head. It was like he was trying to figure out a puzzle that couldn't be solved unless he talked to her.

"I'll go." He said.

"Great!" she exclaimed and went and finished cleaning the counter.

Okay here was Chapter 11! Like it? The next one should be out tomorrow. This story is wrapping up but I have a new one coming out! So look for it when this one is finished!
