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'

He just looked at her, he was upset. He figured she dated other guys but this guy seemed like she was really comfortable with. Lucas didn't like the way he looked at her or how his hand was perfectly comfortable resting on the low of her back and how she was comfortable him leaving it there. Lucas just looked away from her back at the sky taking a sip of his drink.

"Shouldn't you be inside with your boyfriend?" He hissed taking another sip of his beer.

"My what?" she asked confused to what he was talking about.

"You know Ethan."

"Ethan is not my boyfriend." She protested confused to where he got that idea from.

"Well not anymore." He said with a dry laugh taking another sip of his drink.

"Ok first of all, we dated for like a month and I don't know if you would even call it dating and two you can't be mad at me for that you are with Kimberly." She argued.

"You know, at first I was confused really confused. I mean everything was so perfect but then it just wasn't anymore and now I finally know why." He said with a small laugh. "Makes perfect since."

"Lucas what the hell are you talking about?"

"Ethan! That's what I am talking about." He yelled.

"What about him!?" she yelled back.

"You and him, you broke up with me for him!" he snapped "I mean did you wait to get with him until after we broke up or while we were still together?"

"Are you kidding me?" she asked, he had to be joking there was no way he thought she would cheat on him, even with all the miles apart she never cheated on him never ones. She never even was tempted by it or another guy.

"No I am not kidding you! So was he good Brooke? Was he worth it all? Hell he must have been since you broke up with me. I just can't believe you were screwing me while you were screwing him." Lucas didn't even get the last words out before Brooke's hand slapped him right across the face.

"Don't you dare!" she cried pointing her finger at him "Don't you ever say that too me! You know how I feel about sex and you also know why I feel that way about it! So don't you ever ask if I was sleeping with him while I was sleeping with you!" she cried, tears were steadily coming down her cheeks and she didn't even care, she was not going to let him call her some slut, when it wasn't even close to the truth.

"Brooke…" he sighed knowing he probably just messed up he didn't mean to say it but it came out, he wanted to hurt her like she hurt him, like that night when she left and like just then with Ethan.

"I never once cheated on you!" she cried "I loved you Lucas! I did but you didn't love me, you were the one who ended us!" She screamed and his face went from guilty to enraged what did she mean he ended them, he never ended anything.

"I ended us! You broke up with me remember because I do, I have the damn day etched in my head!" he yelled back.

"Yes I remember! I also remember how I waited for you! How I stood on that damn doorstep and you never chased after me, or how you never called not once!" she cried.

"I didn't know you wanted me too." He sighed now feeling even worse. He wanted to call her, he just figured since it was so awkward with that one call she didn't want him to talk to her anymore, plus for selfish reasons it was too hard for him to talk to her.

"Yeah whatever." She got up not wanting to talk to him anymore, "Oh and Lucas" she said turning around to look at him as he also turned to look at her "For the recorded, even though you clearly think I am some big slut, I have never slept with Ethan, you are still the only guy I have ever slept with!" She snapped before walking into the house slamming the door.

"Damn it!" he snapped throwing his drink "You are such a dumbass."

Brooke was so pissed; she didn't want to think about Lucas anymore, she didn't want to worry about what he thought or how he felt or even how she felt all she really wanted right now was a drink, and a strong one.

"Brooke where were you?" Rachel asked when she saw Brooke walking back into the house "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine I just need… " she said but stopped when she saw Lucas walk back into the house "I need a drink." She said grabbing another beer and walking off before Lucas got to her.

Lucas spent must the night trying to talk to Brooke but she avoided him like the plague. She clearly didn't want to talk to him and he just got nervous she was drinking too much. Brooke never drank only when she was upset, and he knew how bad he messed up and how upset she was. Lucas looked over seeing her dance with some guy that clearly wasn't as gone as she was and was taking full advantage of it. His hands slide all over Brooke's body and Brooke was almost so far gone she was barely standing, Lucas was beyond jealous at this point, of course the thought of that guy with his hands on Brooke made him jealous and kind of sick but he was also worried, worried because of him she would do something she would regret. So he watched, kept is eye on her making sure she stayed out of trouble, and as soon as the guy grabbed Brooke's hand and they started to head to another part of the house Lucas stepped in.

"Hey where you going?" Lucas asked the guy and the guy just looked at him.

"Not really any of your business." The guy hissed grabbing Brooke's arm and trying to walk away making Brooke stumble some.

"Yeah I think it is; so let go of her." Lucas snapped grabbing Brooke's arm.

"Look man I don't know who you are but…" The guy started grabbing Brooke again making her laugh some, Lucas just pulled back punching the guy. Once he fell Lucas lifted Brooke up and cared her out of the house and to her dorm. Brooke mumbled something into his chest but then settled as Lucas kept walking.

Once Lucas got to her dorm he sat her down holding a steady grip around her waist her body leaned up against his and her hot breath on his neck was sending chills down his body but he tried to shake them off as he tried to open the door, but it was locked.

"Brooke do you have a key?" he asked and Brooke just shrugged as she laughed then hiccupped. "Come on Brooke where is your key?" he asked again but she again didn't answer just leaned her head on his chest as she started to doze off. "Brooke…" he whispered and she just looked up at him "I'm going to look in your pockets." He told her and she just hiccupped then laughed ok.

He hesitantly stuck his hand in her front pockets but it wasn't there, and then stuck his hand in both her back pockets making her giggle some but still no key. "Nothing." He mumbled to himself "What am I going to do with you Pretty Girl?"

"You called me your Pretty Girl." She smiled up at him and he just grinned brushing a piece of hair out of her face. "That's because you are my Pretty Girl." He smiled back as they fell into silence and just looked into each other's eyes.

"I waited for you." She whispered and he just looked at her confused "I waited for you to come back to me, and here you are." She slurred with a sad smile "But now…" She mumbled falling back into him snuggling her head into his chest. "Now you are here, you just don't love me anymore."

His heart broke all over again; how could she think that, why did she think that. He was about to respond but then she started mumbling "I'm so sleepy." And he knew that talking about this now was hopeless since she wouldn't remember it anyway.

"I know baby, I know you are." He sighed rubbing her back softly, trying to think of what to do, since the door was locked and he had no clue where Rachel was. "You know what, come here." He said lifting her back into his arms again walking to his room, figuring where ever Rachel was she was probably with Jeff so Brooke could just crash with him.

Lucas opened his door and laid Brooke on his bed before walking over and getting her something more comfortable to sleep in. He got out some black sweat pants of his and an old tank top she wore a lot when she spent the night with him. He walked over zipping off her boots then going to pull her shirt off but she stopped him before he could, "No." she groaned in her sleepy voice.

"Brooke I am just trying to get you something more comfortable to sleep in, that's all." He explained but she just pushed his hand away.

"No… I don't want you to see me topless." She slurred.

"Brooke, it's not like I haven't seen you in your bra before. I have actually seen you in less." He grinned at her innocents as she again just shook her head "I can do it I don't need your help, turn around." She slurred waving for him to face the wall, he just turned around like she asked but laughed as he heard her struggling. She finally pulled her top off and put on the one he gave her but when she tried to get her pants un-done her zipper got stuck "Ugh…" she groaned falling back on the bed "I'll just leave them." She slurred closing her eyes trying to get the room to stop spinning.

"Come here." He said walking over to her; he could tell she was about to say something but he stopped her before she could "Just let me help you." She just nodded not wanting to argue and not wanting to wear these tight jeans to bed. He like her had trouble getting her zipper but since he had a lot less to drink then her he was able to get them off where she was just in her panties. He went to pull his sweat pants on her but she stopped him sitting up on his bed to look at him, not realizing how close she was to him, but he did. "It's too hot." She slurred pushing the pants away. "Can I just stay in this?" she asked looking up at him. Lucas felt his breath catch in his throat and heart race, to how close she was to him and just slowly nodded.

He lifted up his sheets and she climbed under them, as he moved towards a chair "Where you going?" she asked struggling to sit up but managing.

"I was just going to sleep over here." He whispered pointing over to the chair. "No…" she slurred "It's your bed, you can sleep here." She said patting the spot next to him. Lucas knew the bed was way too small for them to share; it was only a twin bed and she would probably be cuddled up to him so she wouldn't fall off the bed, which is probably why he said "Ok."

He took off his shirt and grabbed some gym shorts and slipped them on, then sliding into bed next to her and just like he thought she laid her head on his bare chest, and wrapping her bare leg around his, just like she would do when they were dating. He slowly wrapped his arm around her waist as she drifted off to sleep, her breathing was slow and she feel quick to sleep and Lucas just looked at her. He gave her a light kiss on the top of her head, "God baby I love you so much, I hope you know that."

Brooke started to stir some flipping over so she was then off his chest, he was going to go to sleep but he felt her grab his arm and bring it around her waist and holding his arm tight, like she was afraid to let go. He at first was nervous to hold her, to be that close to her only because he knew in the morning she would probably freak when she woke up in his arms but then there was the part of him that wanted to hold her all night. So that's what he was going to do and tomorrow if she yelled she yelled but tonight; right now; in this moment it was just the two of them, and he was going to hold onto his Pretty Girl as long as he could.

A/N: So I hope this one makes up for that sucky last one. So review and let me know.
