Iris sat on the green leather couch, she was trying to figure out all the things that Brooke and Lucas did together. Also, why it ended so badly. Millicent was planning about how they were going to make Brooke fall in love with Lucas again. Mouth was just sitting on the couch-beside Iris, watching the girls run wild. He thought it was in insane idea for them to bring Lucas and Brooke together but Lucas should be with Brooke, he thought. He remembered the way Brooke talked about Lucas when they were High School, he knew that Brooke was so in love with him. It was just the look in her eyes.

"So, what are we going to do this week?" Iris looked behind her at Millicent. Millicent looked up at the both of them.

"Well, I know that they are both meeting at the river court in a moment." Millicent smiled deviously. Iris smiled back at her.

"Awh, so romantic." Iris gushed over the thought.

"That's what I want, all romance." Millicent winked at her. Iris glanced over at Mouth who was just blankly staring at the both of them. Iris huffed and rolled her eyes, she thought that he could put a little effort into the plan. "Then, tomorrow at Jamie's birthday party, they would never separate from each other." Millicent clapped her hands other. Iris nodded.

"Sorry, to burst your bubble-" Mouth was going to say.

"Please, don't." Iris interrupted him.

"You two aren't the only ones playing the game." Mouth told them.

"What?!" Iris and Millicent said at the same time. Iris was angrier and Millicent was more shocked. Who else could be playing this game? Iris gasped, turning to look at Millicent. She knew who it was.

"Haley." Iris said to Millicent. Millicent looked over at Mouth, he nodded. "Well, shit." Iris said. It was going to be hard for them to play match maker.

"Peyton knows?" Millicent asked Mouth.

"Yes, so they are going to be twice as good. We have to get Brooke on board with the plan." Mouth said to them.

"So, you're on our team…for sure?" Iris smirked, trying to make Mouth admit it. She leaned in closely to him, waiting for him to answer the question.

"I think Lucas deserves to be with Brooke." Mouth shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't saying yes and he wasn't no either. He just thought that people who were meant to be together should be together forever. Iris winked, agreeing with him.

"But how are we going to make Brooke fall in love with him…again?" Millicent the both of them. It was going to be hard, Brooke would say no and they all knew that. Their plan would have to be better, and smarter than Haley and Peyton's.

Brooke walked over to me as I was sitting on the bleachers, the night was young but Brooke felt like it had been a long day. It felt like years, she has been doing so much. She made a tired look on her face, she flopped on the bleachers and laid her head on my shoulder. I embraced her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and looked ahead at the river and the moon that shined.

"How was your date with Peyton?" Brooke teased. I could always laugh with Brooke. It wasn't much as a date, it was more of catching up with Peyton. She told me things that she did while she was gone and I told her some things that I did while I was here. It was nice catching up with her, she changed from what I remembered.

"It wasn't a date, it was kind of a…catching up from old times." I said, not sure if I was using the quote correctly.

"I think it's 'catching up for old times, sake.'" Brooke corrected me, but I didn't think so. Mines sounded correct but hers did too. I shook my head, I was going to stick with mine.

"No, I think I'm right…like always." I smiled, Brooke laughed at my wittiness.

"It's been a long day." Brooke told me, she was right. I have been talking and figuring out so much today. I felt like today was the hardest days of my life and knew that there was more to come.

"I know and I haven't even seen Lindsay yet." I was stressed, I shouldn't even be this stressed. Brooke looked up at me, moving her head from my shoulder. I wished for a second that she would just lay back down and we could sit here forever, and just talk.

"They came here for you, Lucas. You're going to have to choose." Brooke told me, demanding that I would have to tell them.

"But-"

"You have to." Brooke interrupted me from saying anything else.

"I don't know how." I told her. I wasn't sure that I wanted Peyton or even Lindsay. All I wanted was to stay here and sit with my best friend.

"I am your best friend, right?" Brooke asked with a slight smile. I looked down at her, deeply into her eyes. I could see the moon in the reflection of them.

"Always." I told her, promising her forever.

"Then, I'm going to tell you something but you can't hate me." Brooke swallowed.

"What is it?" I asked, I didn't know what she was going to say to me.

"Lindsay is not the right woman for you." Brooke said to me, getting a little aggressive.

"Then, who is?" I asked, we paused for a moment. My heart was raising, but I felt at home when I looked into her eyes. I placed my hand on her face, she blinked. I leaned in and I kissed her. I kissed her like I would never kiss her again. Then, she kissed me back. It was like all the tension that we had, was just solved. I felt my piece of forever when I kissed her. This moment, was perfect. I could help but smile when I kissed her until she pulled away. We looked into each other's, realizing what happened.

"No…Lucas." Brooke told me. I knew that I could never have Brooke Davis, no matter how bad. She was always going to be my friend. "Peyton loves you and you love her. You guys are meant to be together." Brooke tapped my hand, saying good-bye to me. "Promise me, you'll be okay." Brooke begged me.

"Always," I said like it was obvious. "I promise." I corrected myself. Brooke nodded and walked away. Who knew it was going to be a while before I see her again.
