I own nothing.
Rachel's pov. (1st person)
I couldn't find Mouth. Probably doing a work thing, or off talking to GiGi on the phone. I was angry. I needed to talk to someone about her. I walked, and eventually made it to the River Court.
This place means a lot to the Tree Hill crew.. I don't exactly know why. Only real memories I have of this place was showing Lucas my hooters. Ha that was a night, I can't believe myself back then. Being friends with Brooke has definitely changed me for the better. I was so consumed in my thoughts, I didn't notice Lucas come up behind me with a basketball in his hands.
"Hey." he said, sitting down beside me on the picnic table.
I glanced over, he was totally the last person I wanted to see right now. That guy. This squinty, blonde, scrawny, guy stole my girl. "Hi.." I reply. I wanted to come off as a bitch, hoping he would take a hint and get lost. I wasn't that lucky, my voice came out weak. I felt a tear slide down my cheek, I wiped it away quickly. I hope he didn't notice that. "Are you okay Rachel?" he asked. Damnit. Now I'm tearing up. "Yeah…" I mustered out, sounding really pathetic. That was how I felt though. Pathetic.
"You know, you can talk to me" he said, obviously concerned. He was a good guy, which made things even worse.
We sat in silence for a moment till I said "Have you ever loved someone, someone you can't have…?" I asked quietly as if it were a secret. It was a secret. My secret.
Lucas's eyes seemed to glaze over while in thought. "Yeahh… " he replied to me.
"How… How do you deal?" I asked wiping my eyes dry, again. Damn these tears.
Lucas thought a moment. "Well, I went for it ignoring the consequences. And lost the greatest girl because of it." He was talking about how he cheated on Brooke with Peyton. God, I swear this boy pisses me off. Peyton is beautiful, but if I had a chance with Brooke, you better believe I wouldn't ruin it. "I guess, I realized the mistake too late for me. " He said. I scoffed to myself. Really Lucas, REALLY? I hadn't replied, so he continued babbling.
"Lucky for me, sometimes we all get second chances" He said, smiling. "Brooke and I are going to the formal together". Hearing him say that tore me apart, I couldn't handle this anymore. Tears started really coming now…
He put a comforting arm around me and said "Why? Who do you love Rachel?" he asked. I shook his arm off.
"Forget it. Bye Lucas" I said hotly, running quickly away from him and his stupid second chances. This was not what I wanted my day to turn into.
