Brooke sat in Jamie's room, playing with his toy cars. She wondered what would be the best gift to give him. She could think of a million toys but Jamie was different. He was smarter, he loved basketball but he loved his family as well. Then she started to think about Lucas, and then Peyton and then Lindsay. She felt like all the stress was on her but she didn't know why she was feeling this way. She knew that she didn't have feelings for Lucas anymore and she didn't want to. She was afraid of what he might do to her again, break her heart. There was something about him that made her rethink all those terrible things, she forgives him over and over again. She tells herself not to but it's his smile that makes her forgive him and her heart starts to flutter and she couldn't help but hope that her and Lucas could have a forever. Brooke shook the thought out of her head, she couldn't be dragged into it. Lucas doesn't need another girl fighting for his heart, Brooke thought. She glanced at Jamie with a smile.

"So, Jamie. What do you want for your birthday?" Brooke slowly asked, didn't want to rush it on him.

"Are you and Lucas having a competition on whose giving me the best gift?" Jamie asked like he was reading Brooke's mind word from word. Brooke was shocked that he would ask that, she was even more shocked that someone told him. Brooke chuckled, leaning back against the wall as she watched him play with cars and lego toys.

"Did Lucas tell you that?" Brooke asked, she wondered if he did. She would kill him, if he even tried to tell Jamie. This game was supposed to be between Brooke and Lucas. She was afraid that he might have told something to Jamie to make Jamie choose him over her. Brooke stared into Jamie's eyes, wanting him to tell the truth.

"No, mommy did." Jamie said to Brooke. Brooke turned around and saw Haley at the corner of his room. Haley looked down at Brooke and Jamie as they were surrounded with toys. Brooke wouldn't have thought of all people would tell him. Brooke actually thought that Haley was on her team.

"Oh, did she now." Brooke squinted her eyes at Haley, she gave her a warning look, saying that she would kill her later. Haley winked and walked away. Brooke awkwardly chuckled. "Well, your mommy is a liar. She was just kidding." Brooke made sure that this theory was washed out of Jamie's head. "So, Jamie. What do you want?" Brooke asked him.

"Did you and Uncle Lucas used to date?" Jamie asked, still playing with his cars but not looking up at Brooke. The words just slipped out of his mouth and he seemed so confident. Brooke was so surprised by Jamie today that she didn't know what to say. She was thinking that Haley or anyone could have said something but the only person that would really tell him was Skills and Mouth.

"Did Skills tell you that?" Brooke asked, leaning towards him. Brooke turned his head, making Jamie look into her eyes. She was calm, her face seemed so soft and gentle that Jamie felt safe when he was around her. He didn't want anything to happen to Skills but he just had to ask. He thought it would be cool if Aunt Brooke and Uncle Lucas would date or get married. Only if Lucas or Brooke felt the same. "It was a very very long time ago. Very long time. Long long time. I don't even remember." Brooke shrugged but she did. She remembered every moment and every word that Lucas and her shared. Those memories would last forever in her mind, they weren't going anywhere.

"Do you love my uncle Lucas, because if you do…that's okay. I like you and uncle Lucas." Jamie looked up for a moment, to see what Brooke has to say.

"Me and Uncle Lucas are just friends. I don't think Lucas likes me like that." Brooke rubbed his soft hair. Jamie placed his toys on the ground and looked up at Brooke.

"Of course he does." Jamie said to Brooke.

"And how are you so sure?" Brooke kinked her eyebrow, challenging Jamie.

"Because he looks at you the same way my dad looks at my mom." Jamie made a good explanation. Brooke stood up, she needed to talk to Haley. She had no clue what was going on but she needed to talk to someone about Lucas. This was getting way out of hand if Jamie is asking questions about this. Brooke understood about him being a curious boy but not this curious.

"I'll be right back. Build something for me." Brooke winked at him, she quickly left his room. She seemed like it was a lot of pressure for her to be around Lucas. She didn't like being around Peyton because she felt like she was being targeted. Brooke saw Haley in the kitchen, slicing up fruit for them. Brooke walked over to her with suspicion in her eyes. She wanted to know how Haley felt about Lindsay and Peyton coming back for Lucas. Haley hasn't talked about Peyton or anyone else and Brooke wanted to know what Peyton was doing with her.

"How have you been?" Brooke asked, slowly working her way into the questions.

"Okay, I'm just…worried for Lucas." Haley huffed, it was all too much for Lucas. He would have to choose between the people that he love. Brooke signed, she was worried about Lucas as well. Even though Brooke didn't want either of the girls around Lucas, she felt like Lucas still loved those girls. Whatever she would do, she would have to tell Lucas that they aren't the one for him. He should be with someone that doesn't love him like someone should.

"Me too, I never saw this coming." Brooke chuckled, Haley looked up at Brooke. She wanted to tell Brooke so bad but she didn't know how she would take it but it was burning inside Haley. It was going to crush Brooke but it would hurt her even more if she heard it from someone else. Haley feared that it might ruin their friendship and it possibly could. Haley swallowed and stared into Brooke's hazel eyes that Lucas loves so much.

"I'm going to tell you something but you cant tell Lucas." Haley quickly said, Brooke narrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She wondered what was so important that Haley had to lower her voice. She hoped that it was something more about why Peyton was here and what she wanted from her and Lucas.

"Okay," Brooke chuckled.

"I'm going to help Peyton win Lucas back." Haley smiled widely, she seemed so excited. Brooke's face fall but she quickly smiled once she realized.

"Oh." Brooke said, that's all she could say. Jealousy boiled inside her. She didn't think Peyton wasn't right for Lucas. "Why?" Brooke's voice was high. She wanted to understand why Haley would stand for Peyton. After all the things that Peyton did to Lucas.

"I think Peyton and Lucas are meant for each other, ever since they caught each other's eyes in high school." Haley answered her. Brooke rolled her eyes, she can remember how Lucas and Peyton were together behind her back. She forgave Peyton for what she did, she just wondered why Peyton couldn't forgive her. Brooke thought she did nothing wrong and Peyton was overreacting.

"I don't know, Peyton just broke his heart last time and-" Haley immediately cut off Brooke before she could say anything else.

"And she's really sorry for what she did. Peyton feels terrible." Haley said, covering up for Peyton.

"She left him in pieces and do you know who had to pick them up? Me and You." Brooke pointed at the both them. "I don't want to pick the pieces up again. Seeing Lucas like that…" Brooke couldn't finish her sentence. Haley paused for a moment, for a second, she thought that Brooke was hiding something but she tossed it aside.

"Why are you so against Peyton?" Haley asked her.

"Why is peyton so against me?" Brooke shot back, raising her eyebrows. "Haley-" Brooke tried to disagree but she didn't know what to say to Haley to make her change her mind. "Haley you are playing with Lucas' heart. Once he finds out-" Brooke tried to say but her phone started to buzz in her back pocket. She pulled it out and looked down at her phone. It was the person of the hour, Lucas Scott. She didn't know if she should tell him or not but she felt like she should. Haley had this puppy dog look on her face.

"You cant tell him." Haley begged, Brooke shook her head. She didn't think this was the right idea, not even for Lucas or Peyton. Brooke would try anything to keep Peyton away from Lucas. "You cant tell him, please, Brooke." Haley begged. Brooke didn't know what to say, she had to think what was best for Lucas.

"Haley, I-" Brooke choked up, she didn't know what to do.

"Brooke." Haley begged her. "No matter what you do, Lucas will always find his way back to Peyton. I'm just trying to help Peyton...I'm trying to help them find their way back to each other." Haley assured her but her words made Brooke sick to the stomach.

"I have to go." Brooke turned around and left.
