"You told him what!?" Rachel screamed jumping of her bed, not believing what Brooke just said.

"I think it is best Rach." Brooke sighed as she sat cross legged on her bed, ok maybe she may not think it was best but for now it has to be, her and Lucas had to be friends.

"Best? Brooke you have been crying and missing him for months and now he is here! He is upstairs and you want to be his friend? There is no way you two can be just friends." Rachel said incomplete shock.

"He didn't call Rachel! We broke up and he never called not once. It killed me, it crushed me and I realized he may not have cared as much as I did. He didn't love me like I loved him and I am not going to let that happen again. I am not going to let my heart get smashed over something that will most likely not even work!" Brooke cried.

She waited for him to call her; she even waited for him when she walked out of his room. She stood there waiting for him to chase her to stop her and he didn't. Then she calls him and he was so cold and Brooke came to the conclusion the distances ruined them and coming to the conclusion killed her.

"Brooke he loved you." Rachel said in a more calming tone as she sat next to her friend.

"Yes I know, he loved."

"He still does."

"I don't know if that's true if he gave us up that quick without even hurting, I just…" Brooke paused as she thought about it "I just don't want to get hurt again." She sighed blinking away the tears that seemed to form "And if we are meant to be, if he is suppose to be the guy for me then we will be together. I guess what I really want is…"

"For him to fight for you." Rachel finished knowing what Brooke was going to say.

"Yeah." Brooke said in almost a whisper.

"What if he doesn't know you want him to fight for you?" Rachel asked as Brooke just shrugged not really sure what she was suppose to answer that with.

"I guess I will just have to wait and find out."


Three days; three days had passed since Brooke decided this friend's thing with Lucas and she already hated it. All the girls seemed to be in love with the new guy named Lucas Scott. Brooke's Lucas, Brooke's Broody but he wasn't hers anymore, and to Brooke it seemed he wasn't even fighting for like she wanted.

"Well hello Skank, nice of you to join us on this lovely evening." Rachel teased as Brooke walked up to the group eating at a small diner just outside of campus.

"Yeah well you know how I like to make an entrance." Brooke laughed as she took a seat next to Lucas.

"Yeah whatever." Rachel laughed rolling her eyes playfully at her best friend.

"So what we all talking about?" Brooke asked but got no answer as Lucas's cell phone started ringing.

"Sorry guys." Lucas said pulling out his phone and answering it, "Hey Hales." He grinned at his best friend on the other end; then again at the big small a certain brunette got hearing the name.

"Lucas Eugene Scott you will never guess what your brother just did!" Haley screamed from the other line.

"Oh god what did he do now?" Lucas asked with a laugh since Haley didn't seem to upset.

"He asked me to marry him! Can you believe it… wait did you know he was going to ask Lucas you did why didn't you tell me? Well never mind I'm glad you didn't tell, God I am so excited."

"Ok Hales calm down no I didn't know he was going to do that, yes I am excited for you but I think I may have someone who maybe more excited if you want to talk to them." Lucas smiled looking over at Brooke, who had a confused look.

"Yes of course, but wait I don't know anyone where you are so how are they going to be more excited then you?" Haley asked confused.

"Just trust me." Lucas laughed handing the phone to Brooke "Tutor Girl?" Brooke asked into the phone.

"TIGGER!" Haley screamed. "Oh my god I was just about to call you, but wait why are you with Lucas?"

"Well Broody over here goes to the same college as me." Brooke explained.

"Oh my god YAY!!" Haley smiled "Wait are you two back together?"

"Umm… no Hales we aren't." Brooke sighed looking up at Lucas who just looked at her then back down knowing what Haley just asked.

"Why? You two are in the same college right near each other why aren't you together?"

"I don't know Hales." Brooke sighed again not really wanting to have this talk in front of everyone certain not Lucas "But what did Natey do? If he hurt you I will personally come all the way back to Tree Hill and kick his ass."

"No that won't be necessary Tigger but I will need you to come back to Tree Hill, in I don't know 4 months or so." Haley smiled, yeah ok 4 months was quick but they both wanted something small with just their closest friends and family.

"Haley James if you are pregnant I swear to god..." Brooke said half joking half serious.

"No Brooke I am not pregnant but I am getting married!" Haley screamed again with excitement.

"Oh My God!!" Brooke squealed jumping out of her chair "Haley James is getting married!!" Everyone in the group looked at Brooke like she was nuts, not sure why she was jumping up and down like a 4 year old and who the hell Haley James was.

"Wait, Nathan and Haley are getting married?" Rachel asked Lucas who just smiled and nodded. "Oh my god!" Rachel yelled, Rachel and Haley grow pretty close and after Brooke left they became even closer, she loved Nathan and Haley thought they were the cutest couple ever.

"Well Hales I am so excited for you and I better be invited to that wedding." Brooke laughed.

"Of course Tigger I can't get married without my Maid of Honor."

"Oh Hales," Brooke smiled placing her hand on her heart "I would love too, but wait Lucas is probably the best man huh?" She asked giving Lucas a playful smirk.

"That he will, being Nathan's brother and all."

"Ok well I guess I have 4 months to teach him to dance." She smirked at Lucas who just rolled his eyes. "Ok Hales well go plan I love you and can't wait to see my best friend." Brooke smiled hanging up and taking her seat next to Lucas who just kept looking at her "What?" she laughed.

"Don't what me; I am not that bad of a dancer." He laughed.

"Oh Broody you are not that good either." She laughed giving him a playful shove.

"Yeah well I am truly hurt right now." He teased turning away from Brooke.

"Lucas…" she pouted and he wouldn't look at her "Lucas Scott." She said punching him playfully on the arm.

"Yes?" he asked turning to look at her.

"You can't ignore me I am your Brooke." She pouted again making everyone laugh including Lucas.

"Yeah you're right." Lucas sighed looking at her as she just looked down thinking about what she said. His Brooke, even if they aren't together right now she would always be his Brooke. "But umm… are you really going to make me dance?"

"Yes I am and I will teach your Broody, promise." She smiled at him.

"Ok back to the point our Little Haley is getting married." Rachel grinned "And she better call me or I will…" Rachel started but got cut off by her cell phone looking at it to see 'Haley' flashing "Well hello married girl." Rachel laughed "Well you see I got Brucas over here telling me all about you two getting married."

"What is a Brucas?" Jeff asked just getting a head shake from Lucas.

"Yes I know…I will be there and I am defiantly trying to do that." Rachel laughed at Haley telling her to get Lucas and Brooke back together "Yeah I don't know what they are thinking." Rachel smirked at Lucas and Brooke who just rolled their eyes and looked away. "Yeah got it Hales, love you too bye." Rachel said closing the phone.

"Rachel don't even," Brooke said knowing what was about to come out of her best friends mouth, Rachel just held her hands up with a grin on her face.

"I was going to say nothing."

Brooke was about to speak when some blonde girl walked up to the table and seemed to know the broody blonde next to her.

"Hey Luke." She smiled Brooke just rolled her eyes Luke he doesn't like people calling him that unless they are good friends and Lucas being her not even a week yet Brooke knew they weren't good friends.

"Oh hey Kimberly what's up?" Lucas asked the girl who he had a class with, he didn't know her to well but they talked some in class and she seemed really cool.

"Well I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out Saturday."

"Oh umm…" Lucas said looking over at Brooke who was just looking down; he knew they were friends even if he really didn't want to be friends but if she didn't want to be with him he couldn't just wait for her forever. "Umm…Sure sounds fun." He smiled.

What! Was he really going out with this girl, Brooke's head shot up at Rachel who just shrugged but didn't forget to give Lucas a death glare that he didn't notice because he was too busy talking to this bleach blonde slut.

"Ok sound good, well I guess I will see you in class tomorrow." She smiled with a small wave as she walked away, and Lucas just turned back to the table getting a very ugly look from Rachel and he just looked down.

"Umm… I have to go I promised Jacob I would call him about umm…something." Brooke said getting up and rushing out of the diner.

"Crap." Lucas mumbled as he got up to follow her. "Brooke wait up." He called following after her, she wasn't running but it was a fast walk he seemed to get use to when they dated. "Hey." He said grabbing her arm to face him "Look I am sorry I won't go if you don't want me too."

"Why wouldn't I want you too?" Brooke asked putting on her fakest smile.

"Because I don't know…" Lucas sighed he wanted her to tell him she didn't want him to, and if she did he wouldn't but he saw her fake smile and he knew she wasn't going to fight for them even if she wanted too.

"Look Lucas we are friends, as friends we have to see each other date other people."

"But it's not a date, well I don't know if it is, but if you don't want me to go…" he said but she was shaking her head to stop him.

"It doesn't matter Lucas you don't want to be single forever right? So you have to date other people." God what is she doing? Why is she acting like there will never be hope for us again, I still loved her.

What am I doing? She thought cursing herself for acting like she didn't care, but if he didn't want to go he would have told that girl no he said sure, so he just wants to be friends, god this would be so much easier if I didn't still love him. "So go have fun Luke, I'll see you later." She smiled walking away glad she turned away when she did knowing tears were on the verge of falling and she was not going to let him see her cry.

"Yeah." He whispered watching her walk away, he was so tired of watching her walk away from him, and she had done it so much it started to not even hurt as bad just made him feel a little numb. He could go back inside to hang with his friends but he really didn't want to see anyone right now, the only person he really wanted to see wants to be his friend, but what if he couldn't be her friend? What if he didn't want to see her dating other people and being with some guy that wasn't his, but she was right he doesn't want to be single forever and if he couldn't have the person he wanted most he would just have too… have to move on.
