Brooke was so mad, Lucas had seen Kimberly twice since that day she asked him out, Brooke wasn't sure if it was a date or even if he really liked her, but it sucked because she was nice and as much as Brooke wanted to not like her, she couldn't she was sweet to Brooke and clearly had no clue about Brooke and Lucas's past.

"So you ready?" Rachel asked her roommate, tonight was a big party and everyone seemed to be going. It took some talking into but Rachel got Brooke to agree to come, even though Lucas was going with Kimberly. Lucas told Rachel he was going with her but they weren't exactly going together.

"Yeah let me grab my shoes." Brooke said as she dug through her closet to find the boots she was looking for and sliding them on. "Are we just meeting everyone there?" Brooke asked as Rachel just nodded.

"That's the plan we just have to get there, so hurry you fat ass up." Rachel smirked walking out of her dorm room as Brooke just rolled her eyes and zipped up her boots and followed.

"So what's the deal with you and Kimberly?" Jeff asked as he and Lucas walked out of their dorm to meet everyone.

"I don't know man, like I know she likes me but I just…" Lucas paused thinking, of course he liked Kimberly she was sweet but he still loved Brooke, even if she said they were just friends. "She isn't Brooke you know."

"Yeah I know man, but maybe you should give her a chance, I mean only if you don't think you and Brooke will get back together." Jeff suggested.

"Yeah I guess." Lucas shrugged as he got to Kimberly's room and knocked on the door. He promised to pick her up on the way, so she wouldn't walk there alone, but he wasn't sure if she would take it as them being together or not, because he is still not sure what he is feeling or thinking.

"Hey guys, umm.. Just let me grab my coat, just a sec." Kimberly smiled grabbing a jacket and then coming back "Ok ready." She smiled as her and the guys started walking to the party.

By the time Brooke and Rachel got there, most their friends were there, well everyone but Lucas, and Jeff and Brooke assumed Kimberly. Brooke walked in grabbing a beer and joined Amy, Jennifer and Josh.

"How my loves doing tonight?" Brooke smiled.

"We are good how are you doing girlie girl?" Amy asked.

"Perfect just going to have a fun night with my friends."

"That's right a fun drama free night." Rachel added as everyone agreed and laughed. "So where is my boyfriend at anyway?" Rachel asked.

"Oh he is right there." Josh nodded towards the door and the girls turned to look and see Lucas, Jeff and Kimberly enter. Kimberly was laughing at something Lucas was telling her and Brooke just turned away quickly finishing her beer then grabbing another.

"Hey guys." Jeff smiled as he kissed Rachel on the cheek "Hey baby."

"Well hello boyfriend." Rachel smiled kissing him lightly on the lips. Brooke's body tensed at the nick name, she used to call Lucas that, and she looked up at Lucas who she assumed noticed the nickname too since he was giving her the same look.

"Hey Brookie, what you thinking about?" Jeff asked wrapping his arm around Rachel, with her back to him and resting his head on her shoulder.

"Huh?" Brooke asked taking her eyes off Lucas to turn and looked at her best friend "Oh… I was umm… what?" Brooke asked confused to what she was just asked making everyone laugh but Lucas.

"Hello is anyone in that little head of yours?" Jennifer joked.

"Yeah I am here; just my mind was…umm…" Brooke paused noticing all eyes were starring at her like she was nuts "I love your top Kimberly." Brooke smiled "It's so cute." She said quickly to take the attention off her and onto something else.

"Thanks, you are so sweet, I like you boots." Kimberly smiled back.

"Thanks, you can borrow them sometime if you want." Brooke smiled and honestly meant that she liked this girl, being with Lucas or not.

"Yeah since she seems to borrow other things of yours." Rachel mumbled into her beer getting a death glare from Brooke.

"Thanks Brooke that's really sweet." Kimberly smiled, completely ignoring Rachel's comment.

"Brooke?" the group heard someone yell as Brooke turned to see who was calling her.

"Oh my god Ethan!" Brooke smiled running over and hugging the guy who just called her.

"Who the hell is that?" Lucas asked not really anyone in particular.

"Oh umm…well you see…" Jeff said not sure what to say "They… well…"

"They what?" Lucas asked annoyed Jeff wouldn't just come out and tell him.

"They dated some."

"They what!" Lucas snapped.

"Jeff look who it is!" Brooke smiled wrapping her arm through Ethan's and dragging him over to her friends.

"Hey man, how you been?" Jeff asked nervously noticing the look Lucas was giving this guy.

"I'm good man, and it looks like you have been doing well yourself." Ethan smirked looking at Rachel.

"Yeah I am, umm… Rach this is Ethan, Ethan this is my girlfriend Rachel." Jeff introduced.

Rachel actually kind of already knew Ethan; although she never actually met him he was the first and only guy Brooke dated after Lucas. Brooke said she didn't know if they would really call it dating, they hung out because they shared friends; and Brooke liked him but never really consider him a boyfriend. Just kind of someone who she had to hang out with when Jeff went on one of his many dates or her other friends when on big group dates, they were really just good friends.

"Hey," Rachel smiled shaking his hand.

"I can't believe you are here Ethan!" Brooke squealed with excitement; she always saw Ethan as kind of another best friend, like Jeff just a little different.

"I know I got into school here awhile back, my roommate dragged me to this party, which I am kind of glad he did." Ethan smiled down at Brooke.

"Ugh" Lucas scuffed as he rolled his eyes, getting an evil look from Brooke.

"Well I am glad you did, here let me introduce you to me friends." Brooke smiled ignoring Lucas's comments; she didn't care if he was getting jealous truth was she was kind of enjoying it. Least now he understood how she felt the past few days when she saw him with Kimberly.

"This is, Amy, Jennifer, Josh, Kimberly and Lucas." Brooke smiled.

"Nice too meet you guys." Ethan smiled.

"Yeah whatever." Lucas said rolling his eyes and grabbing a beer walking off.

"Umm…ok…" Ethan said a little confused to way some guy he never meet before was just being a complete ass. Then it clicked Lucas. "Wait that's Lucas." he stated as Brooke nodded "Right your Lucas." He knew all about Lucas, Brooke told him about him and even after he and she broke up Brooke would talk about him all the time, how much she missed him and wanted to see him. Ethan liked Brooke but knew there was never going to be anything real between them because she was still completely in love with some guy named Lucas.

"I…umm… I'll be right back." Brooke said brushing past them to go find Lucas. she walked around the house looking for him, slightly tipsy considering she had already chugged her two beers but knowing she probably need to talk to him. She wasn't even sure why since he had been hanging out with Kimberly all this time why did he have a right to be mad at her for hugging some guy he didn't even know, but being Brooke and him being Lucas she knew she had to talk to him make sure he was ok like always. She walked around and found him sitting outside on the back porch drinking. He figured when he heard the door close it was her, even as far away he could smell her vanilla scent that still drove him crazy but he didn't look up at her just drank his beer, she also didn't say anything just eased next to him staring out at the sky then turned to him and whispered,

"Hey."

A/N: So this chapter was probably the worst chapter I have ever written for them. I don't like it too much and not only does it suck but it is extremely short. I just needed to add a guy for Brooke for the next chapter and for an argument I think may happen, but who it is with is still up in the air, but I hope you all do, so read anyway and bear with me because the next few chapters will get better I promise!!
