I Own Nothing

Song is Cold by Jeremy McComb

Enjoy!

Somethin in the way your movin
is tellin me that your still crazy for me

"It's fine." Brooke lied as she sat on the phone with her boyfriend, "Adam it is I promise. No it's not your fault you can't help they called in sick." She tried to relieve some of the guilt she knew he was feeling, "Adam it's ok. Just finish work and we will go out tomorrow. Ok. I love you too. Bye." She hung up tossing her phone on the bed as she sat there. Well this wasn't how her nigh was supposed to go.

"Hey Brookie." Cam smiled as his little sister walked into the kitchen, "You look nice." He commented on her black tight fitted dress that stopped just above her knee.

"Looks like Brooke here can stop traffic in that dress." Jason whistled as he walked past her, "Gorgeous baby girl." He smiled kissing the top of her head.

"Thanks." Brooke forced a smile that Lucas quickly noticed. You don't know someone as well as he knows Brooke and not notice when she was not ok with something, that something was bothering her.

"Is lover boy picking you up here or you meeting him somewhere?" Rachel asked as she moved around Brooke's kitchen cooking something for everyone to eat.

"Oh umm…" Brooke scratched her head as everyone looked at her, "I'm meeting him somewhere. Umm we are uh meeting at this bar off of Main Street. We met there so it was fitting but I'm off see you all later." Brooke darted out of the room before more questions was asked.

Lucas sat thinking about what was just said. No one seemed to notice, no one made a comment just as Brooke left went on doing what they were doing but they missed that Brooke was just lying. How was it no one noticed but him?

Somethin bout' the way your lookin
is tellin me that you're not really over me

"Lucas stop yelling!" Brooke snapped into the phone, "You have no right to be mad at me!" She growled annoyed. This was the second talk they have shared since she left Tree Hill. The first one was crying, screaming, begging and arguing about how things were left and this one, well this one she wasn't sure how it was going to end.

"I'm not mad ok! I'm not and I'm sorry I yelled I just…how could you do that? It's only been a few months Brooke." He frowned bring his voice back down to a calm one. He didn't expect her to get over him so fast, fined someone else so quick but he just happened to walk into his best friend's room to hear Rachel talking to Cam about some new guy Brooke was dating and how she was sure falling in love with. He wished he could get over them so fast, he wished he knew how to end his feelings like that.

"Lucas it's been a few months that I have been here. We were broken up awhile before I even left." She reminded him.

"But…" He trailed off not even sure what he was going to say. She was right, she was always right. "It just hurts."

"I didn't do this to hurt you Lucas. I didn't tell Adam yes because I thought it would somehow get back to you and you get hurt. I said yes because for the first time in months there is a guy that I really care for. A guy that for the last few weeks has been an amazing friend to me."

"So he is good to you?" He asked knowing he just wanted someone to take care of her, to love her and make everything right. Make her feel what he never could.

"Lucas he is great to me." She told him honestly.

"Is he a club guy? Guys you meet at clubs aren't ever good and I'm not saying that because I am jealous or whatever I am saying it because it's true. Don't date a guy from club." He randomly said hearing her laugh for the first time at him, "Don't laugh I am serious. Guys at clubs, especially ones in Miami are just douchy."

"Douchy?" Brooke laughed really enjoying where this conversation was going, not the whole boyfriend talk but the fact they were laughing and getting along was nice.

"Yes douchy. So just don't…don't date one from there."

"What about bars? Can they be douchy?" She joked.

"Not as much as rich asshole douchy guys from clubs. Bars are legit so just pick one from there, or you know better yet pick one from school. They may have their shit together." He said hearing her laugh again making him smile.

"Well he is from school. We had a class together." She informed him just thinking about Adam making her smile, "That was where we met."

Am I holdin not letting go
The things that never went away
Am I not holdin on I've got the need to divide you from every living breath

"You know I think I may go for a walk." Lucas stood up quickly.

"But dinner is going to be ready soon." Matt called to his friend that was moving out of the kitchen.

"I'm not really that hungry." He called back grabbing his wallet and moving out the door. So he would just walk to the bar on Main street and if Adam was there he would head home and if not; well then he would figure out why Brooke left all dressed up with a distant look in her eyes and a face that looked like she just wanted to cry.

He just hoped she really was going to Main Street otherwise he would just be completely screwed.

I'm cold in the morning thinking about you
Cold in the evening when I'm without you
Cold in the morning and I go crazy living life like this

The music was low playing throughout the bar as Brooke ran her pinky over the rim of her glass. She hated coming to bars alone. It made her feel pathetic or something but the thought of sitting at home tonight was something she didn't want to do.

"You look like you could use a friend." She heard as a body slid in the chair next to her, "Which is good because I could use one too."

"I'm actually ok." Brooke forced a smile over at the guy next to her, "But I'm sorry you need a friend but I'm actually waiting for someone." She lied turning back to stare at her drink.

"I'm Jared." He smiled again at her making her annoyed, she just wanted to drink he drink and go, why were people annoying her, "What is yours?"

"Candi." She spun around to face him, "My name is Candi and I have three kids all from different dad's and I might be pregnant right now hence why I am drinking away my troubles. Honestly I am thinking about switching to woman so unless those extremely tight pants are hiding something else then I would suggest you go away."

"You're feisty Candi." He smirked placing his hand on her thigh, "I mean you're full of shit but feisty and I like that."

"Fine." She spun around, "I'm not thinking switching to woman and I don't have any kids but I also have no plan what so ever to sleep with you. So remove your hand from my thigh go into the back room somewhere and use it to make nice with yourself because the thought of you actually touching me makes me want to gag."

"Bitch." He mumbled giving her leg a squeeze a little too tight before standing up, "Don't bother with her she is nothing but a tease." He said looking over Brooke's shoulder and Brooke looked confused before spinning around to see Lucas sliding in the chair next to her.

"Well here Cam and I worried that you couldn't take care of yourself." He laughed as she just stared at him confused.

"Well I always told ya'll I could." She said spinning away from him and taking a sip of her drink, "Ya'll just thought I was super naïve and would get taken by the boogie man."

"Yes and now I apologize for both." He smiled as she nodded picking at the cherry in her drink, "Brooke…" He placed his hand gently on top of hers as she took in a shaky breath, "Pretty Girl what you doing here in a pretty dress and drinking alone?"

"I just…" She breathed out licking her lips and biting her bottom lip, "Adam had to work." She told him, "We were supposed to go out tonight. We were supposed to have a great anniversary dinner, walk on the beach, dance some but he had to work."

"So you came to a bar with creepy douches hitting on you instead of just having dinner with us?"

"It's embarrassing Luke. All I do is tell everyone how great he is, how amazing my boyfriend is and what are they going to think about this amazing boyfriend I brag so much about who can't even take off work for our anniversary?"

"I thought it was already planned? That he only had to work a few hours." He said remembering at the pool she made it clear he was coming over, that he was going to take her out and that her night would be great. She pretty much slapped him across the face with that one.

"He did but he works at this internship thing that's like a big deal and he works with a friend there. It's actually Charlie's dad's company that's how they got it but Charlie is sick and they have this big project they are trying to finish and he is stuck helping."

"Brooke I may not know the guy that well but I can pretty much tell he wouldn't purposely do something that would upset you. I don't think he would work if he could get off." Lucas said knowing that even though he doesn't like Brooke with someone else if he had to see it; if he had to have her with someone else then sadly Adam was a good pick.

"I know it's just I want to spend time with my boyfriend and well he isn't here." She shrugged sad.

"Well…" He looked around the place then back at the girl next to him, "Well I am not going to have you sit here in a bar with guys like your friend from earlier so…" He stood up grabbing some money out of his wallet tossing it on the bar paying for Brooke's drink, "We are going to do something."

"Lucas…" She whined a little as Lucas grabbed her hand.

"Brooke we use to have so much fun. Now I plan on having some fun again and that fun starts right now." He informed her pulling her out of the bar not taking no for an answer.

"Well what if I say no?" Brooke asked as they started walking down the sidewalk Lucas's hand still in hers.

"Well you know better than to say no to me." He grinned over at her, "You know I always get my way."

Somethin bout' the way your movin me
is telling me that your still crazy for me
Somethin bout' the way I'm feeling
is telling me that I'm not really leavin

"Lucas!" Brooke squealed as Lucas threw her over his shoulder and he spun her around on the beach.

"Say you're having fun! Say you are or I will so throw you in the water." He threatened making her laugh more.

"Ok, ok I am having fun! I promise." She admitted actually being honest. She was having real fun tonight. Lucas took her to eat and get drinks and now they were walking on the beach and she was just enjoying her night. Now of course she wished she was with her certain boyfriend but Lucas was trying hard to make her have a good night and she was thankful for him.

"Ok good." He dropped her, "Because I am getting dizzy." He shook his head trying to making the whole beach stop spinning, "Why did you let me do that?" He teased falling on the beach and on his back.

"Aww you poor baby." She teased standing over his waist looking over him.

"Don't make fun of me." He ordered pointing at her and she laughed that gorgeous laugh he missed hearing grabbing onto his finger helping him up, "Do you want ice cream?" Lucas asked as they started back down the dark beach.

"Luke you don't have to buy me ice cream. I'm ok I promise." She gave him a smile rubbing her hands over her arms as she got some chills.

"Here." He pulled off his jacket draping it over her shoulders.

"Thanks." She smiled wrapping herself in his jacket forgetting the feeling of it and just how good it always smelt.

"But I am not offering ice cream because I don't think you're ok. I am asking you if you want some because I want some ice cream." He shrugged tilting his head to the giving her that smile that still made her weak in the knees.

"Ok." She agreed as they walked up to the vender at the end of the pier.

I'm holding on not letting go
the things that never went away
holdin on I've got the need to provide you with every living breath

"Two chocolate chocolate chip please." Lucas held up two fingers pulling out his wallet passing over the money and looking over at a smiling Brooke next to him, "What?"

"Nothing I just didn't know you remembered that was my favorite ice cream." Brooke said taking the ice cream cone he handed over.

"Well I do remember things about you Brooke Davis."

"Like what?" She grinned as they started walking down the pier enjoying the peaceful Florida breeze.

"Well let's see…" He tapped his chin as they walked, "People would assume your favorite color is pink or purple being the girlie girl you are but it's actually brown. You like rain but hate thunderstorms and you are cold 99% of the time." He teased making her laugh, "But I know you like ice cream and cheeseburgers and hate those stick skinny girls who eat nothing."

"I know it's so annoying! There is nothing wrong with having a shape!" Brooke growled making Lucas laugh.

"Yeah I know." He agreed as they walked back on the beach taking a seat in the sand, "I know you hate people seeing your vulnerable side and that you will do anything in your power to make sure people don't see that side of you." He said turning to look at her loving the how her hair blew in the wind, "Yet you don't know that, that is the only way I see you."

"I wish that wasn't true." She pulled her knees to her chest resting her arms on them as she licked her ice cream cone.

"It is." He admitted watching her take in a deep breath as he brushed her hair behind her ear, "I know you Brooke. I may know you better than anyone here."

"I know." She swallowed hard, "I wish it wasn't true but I know it is."

"Yeah." Lucas nodded finishing off his ice cream and a silence fell over them as they sat thinking and Brooke finished hers.

I'm cold in the morning thinking about you
Cold in the evening when I'm without you
Cold in the morning and I go crazy living life like this
cold in the morning thinking about you
Cold in the evening when I'm without you
Cold in the morning and I go crazy living life like this

"This should be weird." Brooke commented as she walked into her brother's apartment, "Lucas you kissed me last night in a state of drunkenness and I am not sure what I am supposed to do about it."

"Brooke…" Lucas sat up on his couch seeing the brunette move into his living room.

"No Lucas I'm serious! We should feel uncomfortable around each other; we shouldn't just be out at lunch with friends and my brother like its all fine. I mean we made out last night! Doesn't that seem weird to you?"

"No." Lucas told her honestly and watched the shock look spread across her face as her purse dropped to her side.

"Lucas! What we did last night was not ok!" She yelled at him and grew annoyed that he was not agreeing.

"What did we do?" He teased resting his hand behind his head as he relaxed on the couch.

"Lucas!" She growled trying to ignore his shirtless body as he laid out on the couch.

"Brooke you said I was drunk so please remind me what happened." He joked, kind of enjoying the frustration that spread across her whole face.

"Lucas Scott I am not playing with you right now!" She snapped moving to the edge of the couch looking down at him.

"I'm not playing either Brooke." He shrugged, "I totally don't recall what on earth you are talking about. I am thinking I need you to refresh my memory." He smirked grabbing onto her wrist before she could object and pulling her over the couch on top of him; his lips smashing into hers. She fought it at first but within seconds she was kissing him back and he was begging for entrance that she quickly accepted.

"Lucas!" She growled shoving away from him and falling off the couch making him laugh, "Stop doing that!" She groaned sitting up on the floor.

"Brooke I didn't do anything. You kissed me back; I didn't force you to kiss me either time. Didn't force it now and didn't force it last night at the club."

"You weren't in your right mind. You were drunk." She reminded him once again making him roll his eyes as he flipped on over on his side.

"Yeah well you weren't."

"Lucas you need to stop." She said in a calmer tone shaking her head at him.

"I don't want to stop Brooke. I kissed you last night because I told you I wanted to; I had been wanting to and I kissed you right now because…because I like you Brooke." He admitted and saw the shocked look again cross her face, "I like you a lot."

You say you don't know, you say you don't know me
since I lost my soul
ohhh take a look inside, you can't deny
ohhh take a look inside there's more than just a ghost to find in me

"Luke…" Brooke whispered through the night turning her head to look at him, "I'm sorry." She apologized resting her chin on her arms.

"For what?" Lucas asked confused not getting why she would be sorry. She never did anything wrong when they dated or even now; everything was his fault.

"For the way I left you." She shrugged tucking her hair back, "I shouldn't have come by that night and I shouldn't have left without goodbye; it wasn't fair to you."

"Brooke…" Lucas shook his head turning to look at her, "I don't regret you coming by that night. Do I wish you were there when I woke up? Of course I did but I also wished everything was just a bad dream and you weren't leaving. Everything was my fault ok? Nothing was yours and I got it. You needed closure, we both needed closure."

"Did you get it? Did that night give it to you?" She asked because she knew it sure as hell didn't give it to her.

"No." He told her honestly and she nodded looking out at the ocean swallowing the lump in her throat.

"When I first moved here…" She swallowed blinking away her tears, "Every night without fail I would have this dream and every morning I would wake up and feel the pain in my chest that it wasn't real."

"What was the dream?" He asked cursing the tears he saw in her eyes; he didn't want to upset her. All these years he had made her cry and he didn't want to give her something else too; not tonight, not after already being upset about Adam.

"That you were here." She admitted her voice cracking as she turned to look at him.

"Brooke…" He frowned stopping the urge to pull her into him.

"Every night I would make myself think of something; anything just so I didn't have that dream but I always did. It was always the same. I would come home from class one day and you would be inside my place sitting there waiting for me. You would tell me you missed me, you loved me, that you still wanted me and that your insides were ripping apart without me around you."

"They were Brooke. Just because I wasn't there don't think I didn't die inside because I did. God I swear I did. If I knew you wanted me here I would have been here in a second. I would have done anything to get here to you; I just didn't know you wanted me too." He cursed the feeling inside telling him once again it was his fault. He should have been here; he should have come because he thought about it so many times but was scared of hurting her again; of breaking her heart. If he knew she wanted him here he would have come, and he was more than sure if he did come she would have been his again.

"I thought moving would fix things." She looked back at the ocean watching the waves crash, "I thought if I didn't see you every day, hear your voice, pass somewhere that we had been then I would be ok. I would have a fresh start, be who I wanted to be, have no one know what happened and it all be better. Yet it's true what they say; you can move wherever you want but you take your heart with you and those dreams were just a reminder of that."

"I wish we could go back Brooke. I wish everyday that I could go back and do things different because I would. I would have never been so stupid and jealous and insecure with us. I would have believed in your love and your trust and believed there was no way you were with him somewhere. God I never would have drank so much."

"We can't change the past though." She shrugged standing up and wiping off the sand, "One day you wake up Lucas. You realize wishing and wanting doesn't get you what you want and that no amount of tears fixes things. You just have to accept it live each day and know the day comes when those dreams stop."

"Did they?" He asked as he stood up in front of her seeing her breath become quicker and heart race as he took a step closer only inches from her face, "Did you stop dreaming that dream?"

"Yes." She admitted; hating her skin burning when his thumb grazed over her bottom lip.

"When?" He pushed wanting to know and shouldn't have been at all surprised when she whispered back, "When I met Adam."

I'm cold in the mornin thinking about you
Cold in the evenin when I'm without you
Cold in the mornin and I go crazy living life like this
