There was a really long wait for this one and I'm really sorry! Read and Review!!!!!!!!
Chapter 7-
Lucas forgot all about the lost years and awkward conversations had with Brooke as they laughed and joked about their past. He missed her more than he thought. Now she was with Chase. Was it too late? 'You can't like Brooke again. She's happy, be happy for her. Don't mess it up for her again Luke,' he said to himself as she told him some story about her new friends in New York.
"You're not even listening are you?" Brooke laughed.
"Yes I was."
"Fine, then what was the last sentence I said?"
"Um…you said that you missed me a lot and you couldn't wait to see me when you came back."
"And I thought you weren't listening." Brooke made Lucas smile so much and he didn't even realize it until now. They way she would look at him gave him a chill up and down his spine.
"I really did miss you though," Brooke finally said.
"I missed you too, Pretty Girl," Lucas said and Brooke smiled, a sad smile.
"I really got to go. It's later than I thought," Brooke said looking at her watch.
"I'll take you if you want."
"I would like that," Brooke said putting her jacket on. "Bye Karen and thanks again," she hugged Karen.
"No problem Brooke. Bye Luke. See you at home."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Lucas walked her into the hotel and made sure she got her room key.
"Thanks Lucas. I'll see you tomorrow," Brooke said as they stood in front of the elevator.
"Bye Brooke," Lucas said holing on to her hand. She let go and walked into the elevator. It went up to the third floor. Room 306.
Brooke quietly put the key in the slot and unlocked the door. It was late already and she didn't want Chase questioning her about where she was or who she was with. She saw him peacefully sleeping and smiled. She couldn't help but love him even though he has been terrible to her lately. She quietly put on her pajamas and slipped under the covers next to him.
"Brooke?" he asked half awake.
"Yea?"
"I love you."
"I love you too," Brooke said as she felt him put him arms around her.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Chase, wake up!" Brooke said pulling on his arm. He grunted and turned over. "Fine, you're not coming with me."
Brooke took her purse and left the hotel room. She called a cab and while she was waiting she saw Lucas holding a sign that said Brooke Davis on it. She smiled as she walked over to her friend.
"Now you're my personal driver?" Brooke asked.
"Yep," he said opening the door and helping her in the car.
"Thank you Mr. Scott."
"No problem Miss Davis."
"So, how was your night?"
"Good, it felt like I was a teenager again. What about you?"
"Surprisingly, good."
"Why surprisingly good?"
"No reason," Brooke said shaking her head. If she was going to tell anybody what was going on with Chase, it sure wasn't going to be Lucas.
"Ok, James and a bunch of screaming little kids. Are you ready?" Lucas asked before they got out of the car.
"Do we have to go in?" Brooke said making puppy-dog eyes.
"It's our godson Brooke. We have to go. Besides if we don't, Haley will kill us."
"I get it. But Luke?"
"What?"
"I'll need some rescuing," Brooke said leaving him in the car.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
They opened the door and saw an angry Haley screaming at Peyton and a very quiet Nathan in the corner. Brooke and Lucas looked at each other confused.
"How dare you! In my own house!" Haley screamed.
"Come on James, let's go in the backyard," Lucas said and pulled Brooke's hand to go with them.
"I said I was sorry Haley. I don't know why or how it happened," Peyton screamed back.
"I always defended you when Brooke was talking about you when she and Lucas were still together. I can't believe I did that now. You are everything she said you were."
"Haley, it was just a kiss. Nathan loves you. We were just caught up in the moment."
"Get out!" Peyton shook her head and grabbed her bag. She stormed out of the house.
Meanwhile…
"What do you think she was screaming about?" Brooke asked sitting in a lawn chair by the pool.
"I don't know. When's your party James?" Lucas said.
"Mommy and Daddy said it was going to be another day."
"Why?" Lucas said kneeling down to his eye level.
"Mommy gots mad at Aunt Peyton cause she kissed Daddy."
"What?!" Brooke and Lucas said at the same time.
"Peyton strikes again!" Brooke exclaimed.
"Wow," Lucas said.
"This time she's married! She has some nerve."
They heard the door slam and they ran inside.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Haley I'm sure it was all Peyton and not Nathan," Brooke said trying to comfort her.
"Peyton is such a bitch."
"That's my girl," Brooke said making her smile. "Where's Nathan?"
"He left. I told him I didn't want to deal with him. Where's Lucas?"
"With Nathan."
"I'm sorry for defending her when you complained about her to me."
"No problem Tutor Mom." Haley smiled and hugged her friend.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"What were you thinking Nathan?" Lucas asked Nathan when he found him at the rivercourt.
"What were you thinking when you kissed her when you were with Brooke?"
"I really want to kick your ass right now," Lucas said getting angry.
"Like I felt when you did that to Brooke." Lucas gave him the squint look. "Brooke is my Haley. Haley is your best friend and Brooke is mine."
"I never heard you call her that."
"I didn't realize it until she left and I didn't see her anymore."
"Don't change the subject now."
"I didn't want to hurt Haley. Old feelings came back."
"You better apologize to her."
"I did, she said she didn't want to hear it."
"Man, you messed up!" Lucas said sitting on the bleachers.
"I know. Now, how do I get her back?" Nathan asked looking at Lucas.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Jake, don't hang up. We need to talk,' Peyton cried into her phone.
"What's wrong Peyton?"
"I messed up. I really need you right now."
"What happened?"
"I kissed Nathan."
"And when I thought that you couldn't get any worse, you surprise me," Jake said now angry.
"I'm sorry. Please don't hate me Jake."
"I don't hate you. I am so in love with you Peyton. This is why I'm so hurt."
"I'm coming home Jake. Tell Jenny I love her." Jake hung up as Peyton's last tear fell.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"I got to go Haley," Brooke said after a long day of Haley's crying.
"Thanks for being here Brooke," Haley said following her out to the cab.
"That's what friends are for," Brooke hugged her.
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Of course."
"Bye Tigger."
"Bye."
Brooke got in to her hotel room to find a note from Chase on the desk. She carefully opened it.
Dear Brooke,
My boss called and said I need to be in tomorrow. I'm probably back in New York already. I left right after I saw you and Lucas leave together. Yea, old feelings never come back.
-Chase
