Before she ran out of the room like a mad woman, maybe she should have considered getting dressed. Thankfully, Lucas' jacket was big enough to cover her just enough to wear you could hardly tell.

She sighed as she took a seat on the sand. Her eyes stared out into the ocean. as her mind began to wander, she heard someone come and sit down next to her. Motionless, she could feel his eyes stare at her.

"I brought you some clothes," he mumbled.

Lucas tossed her sweat pants, underwear, and a tshirt of his. brooke snatched them quickly and placed them in her lap. It was dark outside and she had no clue how he had found her.

"Brooke, wanna talk about this?"

She shook her head. never making eye contact with him or even saying a single word. She just wanted to forget that ever happened and continue to enjoy the rest of prom night.

He grabbed her shoulder, gently turning her, "Look, I wasn't going to force you to do anything, but you were in the driver seat."

Again, she didn't have anything to say to him right now. She knew that she made advances that she didn't mean to make. This was her first time and she wasn't ready for it. It fet more planned, an obligation, rather than an actual romantic, spur-of-the-moment encounter.

"Well, we are never going to dea with this if you don't open up to me, Brooke..."

She slipped the clothes that he had brought her on quickly. taking her place on the sand, she turned to face him. there was no expression in his face. She knew that she was the one giving him hell in this relationship, and that was never her intention.

"Lucas, I'm sorry that I ran out like that on you," her voice was so quiet that he could barely make out what she had just said to him.

He rubbed the back of his neck, confused, "I just don't understand why you were making all the moves if you didn't want it?"

She sighed, turning her face from him, "It felt right at first, and then I just kept hearing a voice inside my head telling me no. I guess, I just wanted to do it, but I'm not ready yet."

Brooke was embarrassed. Even though Lucas admitted he was fine without having sex, she still wanted to try to do it. She was just embarrassed that she couldn't.

"Brooke," he sighed as he cupped her face, "I don't care about that for the millionth time."

"I know…"

They sat there in silence. Lucas wrote his name in the sand with a stick. Brooke turned to face him and giggled. His handwriting was worse than that of a small child's.

"I am just embarrassed that I did all of that, but couldn't actually do it. I'm sorry that I keep making this drawn out," Brooke mumbled.

Lucas picked her up and ran towards the water. Brooke screamed. The water was cold against their skin. Brooke clung to Lucas and splashed water in his face.

"Brooke, we have our whole life ahead of us," Lucas said as he kissed her forehead.

She knocked on the door and waiting impatiently. Haley had sent her a text telling her that she needed to talk to her pronto. The door opened and Haley gave her a smile.

Brooke raised a brow and sat on the bed, wating for Haley to sit next to her, "Haley, what the hell s going on?"

"We had sex!" she blurted out.

Brooke froze. Her best friend did it, why couldn't she? She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and tried to figure out what to say to her.

"Is that a good thing?"

Haley playfully hit her arm, "Yes! I thought that it was going to be so scary, but it was beautiful. I could feel the love and I just felt closer to him now."

She gulped, "I'm really happy for you, Haley."

"He was so gentle and made me feel safe like nothing was going to happen…"

"I ran out of the room before we even got to that part," she whispered.

Haley turned her head, "What?"

Nodding, "I made all of the moves, but I got scared and left!"

"You didn't want to?"

"Believe me, I did. Something told me to stop and that's what I did. We fixed everything and talked. he said we have our whole life for that," Brooke blushed.

"Who knew we would have to wait till senior year to have the time of our lives!"
