"Did you hear that?" Brooke asked as she laid on Jeff's bed.

"Nothing is there Pretty Girl, I promise." Lucas reassured as he sat at his desk finishing his homework. Brooke hadn't left Lucas's side since she ran back into him, it had been only two days and she was so afraid if she turned the corner again he would be there again. Lucas had walked Brooke to each class and he would leave his early so he was there when she got out, when he had practice that day Brooke just sat in the gym doing her homework as he finished before coming back to his dorm room. Lucas explained to Jeff everything that was going on and was surprised to find Brooke never told him, he told him that Brooke could just stay in their room, and he would stay with Rachel until Brooke was comfortable again.

Brooke was so thankful Lucas was here with her, he was so sweet to her, the first day she ran into him Lucas took her back to her dorm and sat in her computer chair all night as she slept. Even after everything they had been through, everything she had put him through he was still there for her, forever and always just like he promised.

"You sure I thought I heard someone in the hall." Brooke said again keeping her eyes glued on the door.

"I promise, but I will check." he smiled getting up and opening the door looking down the hall, only to see some students going to their rooms. "See no one there." he smiled shutting the door.

"I'm sorry I know you think I am so dumb." Brooke said rolling over in Jeff's bed looking at the wall.

"Hey," Lucas said walking over and sitting on the bed next to her, "Look at me," he smiled and she flipped over to face him, as his hand rested on her leg. "You aren't dumb, I don't think you are dumb, your just scared." He smiled at her brushing s strand of hair out of her face "Nothing is going to happen too you I won't let anything happen to you."

"I know," Broke sighed, "I just feel like I have taken up all your time, I'm sure babysitting me is the last thing you want to be doing." Although Brooke actually loved the time she was spending with him, the fact he was taking care of her, he really was perfect.

"Nope," Lucas smiled "I love taking care of you." He answered stroking her cheek softly.

"Yeah," she whispered placing her hand on his.

"Why don't you get ready for bed," he offered getting off his roommates bed and digging through his dresser for something to let her wear, he was going to get her some clothes earlier but got so caught up in doing his paper that was due tomorrow he forgot, figured she wouldn't mind just slipping something of his on. "Here," He smiled handing her some clothes "I'm going to go jump in the shower real quick are you going to be ok?"

"Yeah I will be fine." Brooke smiled taking the clothes.

"Ok I will be quick promise." He said kissing the top of her head then walking out making sure to grab his key and lock the door behind him.

Brooke slipped on the old t-shirt and sweat pants Lucas had given and climbed back into Jeff's bed. She was amazed at how cold the boys kept their room, which she shouldn't be too surprised since she had been in both boys rooms before back home and they both loved cold rooms, to her loving hot. After shivering for awhile Brooke decided to just grab something warmer from Lucas's dresser and smiled when she looked in it to find that old raggedy gray sweatshirt she had worn and stolen so many times before.

After pulling it over her head she smiled at how warm it felt, and how it smelled just like Lucas, just like it always did, that was probably why she stole it because even when he wasn't around she could still feel him just by some old sweatshirt. She went to close the dresser and when she did she knocked off an old bowl that had some change and his wallet and keys in it on the floor.

Brooke groaned at her clumsiness as she bent down to pick it all up and stuck her hand under his dresser to get some change that went under it but stopped when her hand hit some shoe box. Being Brooke of course she pulled it out to look at it and surprised to find all sorts of stuff in it that had to do with him and her. She looked over her shoulder to make sure he hadn't come back yet and started digging through the shoe box. There were many pictures of them, a few notes they had passed in class, which made her laugh, and then his old class ring he gave her but she gave back to him, all of the stuff made her smile, that he kept all this dumb random stuff she had given him, saved all the pictures even when he seemed so angry with her, but then the one thing that caught her eye was a folded up piece of paper. She knew she shouldn't open it, it was his shoe box and clearly under his dresser not wanting anyone to see it, but still curiosity got the best of her, which it always did, and she unfolded it to see it was a letter to her. She debated not reading it but then she thought it was her letter, so tossing one last glance at the door she started to read.

Hey Pretty Girl,

I don't know why I am writing this stupid letter. I mean I have written about a million since you broke up with me, but still never sent them so what makes me think writing this one will be any different. I found out I got into college today, exciting huh, well it should be exciting but I'm not too excited since you aren't here with me. Remember how we talked about going to the same college, I was going to room with Nathan, you with Hales, well I guess that's not going to happen now. Everyone keeps telling me I need to stop mopping around its not healthy, I just laugh at them. Like they have any clue how I feel, no one knows how I feel but maybe you, which some days I wonder since we haven't talked in months. I miss you, you know that, it's been months since I last talked to you or saw you but it has been all of two seconds since I last thought of you.

I almost called you today, I almost call you every day but today I actually dialed the number hit the little green button and let it ring one time before I hung up. I wonder if your phone rang. Even if it was just one time still I wonder if you saw it was me calling.

I was talking to Haley today, she told me how I need to cheer up, you wouldn't want me sad and hurting and again I can't help but laugh at that since you are the reason I am sad and hurting, but I don't hate you. I want to, I want to hate you so much that it stops hurting but as hard as I try I can't seem to do it. I get why you did what you did but that doesn't mean I am not hurting because I am, you said how I needed a girlfriend who was here with me not on the other side of the country and that's true but see none of that matters, the distance thing because no girl can I feel for how I feel for you, no girl can I give my heart to since you still have it and I feel you always will.

It's almost 3 in the morning and all I keep thinking about is the last thing I said to you was, how I wouldn't wait for you, if you came back I wouldn't be here and that was all a bunch of bullshit, I didn't mean any of it, I don't know why I said it because baby girl you have to know that if you came back I would be here, I am here. I still love you, god baby I love you so much still, I hope you know that.

Since its 3 here I guess it's what midnight where you are, a part of me hopes you are out somewhere having the time of your life, but then there is the other part of me the selfish part that hopes you are sitting around writing countless letters, that you will never send, and staying up all night thinking about me like I do you.

I wonder sometimes if you're seeing someone else, caring for someone else and letting them hold you and love you, I try to get the image of you with someone else out of my head, but I can't as hard as I try I can't. Rachel said that she didn't think you were with anyone, but I don't know if I can believe that since I know you and I know how amazing you are.

You know today I was wearing that gray sweatshirt I let you have but you gave back, well I was in first period and this girl named Sara asked if she could borrow it because she was freezing. I almost gave it to her but then realized I couldn't because it wasn't mine to give, it is yours and I can't let some other girl wear it. She just nodded and said she understood, but then of course my mind for the rest of the day was focused on you in my sweatshirt. It is driving me crazy how even the little things remind me of you, like when I'm in the gym I think of you, and the first time we told people about us or when I drop Haley off at home I pass your house, well old house and think of all the things that happened there, like when you got so pissed at me and slammed the door in my face, just to come out five minutes later and made up, like we always seemed to do. Then I will go on the beach, that spot we would always go to and the spot we made love for the last time before you left, all the memories come rushing back and I wish to god I could get them to stop.

I wish you would call, I wish you would come visit and I wish that you and I were back together. I wish lots of things but I know that won't happen, but I don't blame you for it, not anymore.

I guess I should finish this un-sendable letter up, it is actually the longest one I have written, and maybe I will get the courage and send it someday. I love you Pretty Girl, forever and always.

Love,

Lucas

Brooke sat reading as a tear fell off her cheek onto the letter he never sent her, onto the letter that said so much to her and killed her so much more. She couldn't believe any of it, that he really was hurting even if he never called or chased after her he was still in love with her. Brooke heard him talking to someone down the hall and shoved everything back into the box sliding it under the dresser and trying to pick up all the stuff she knocked over, then running over to Jeff's bed jumping on it pulling the covers over her right when the door opened and he walked in.

"What are you doing?" Lucas smiled raising his eye brow noticing her looking a little flustered and breathing heavily.

"Nothing just you no lying around." She lied, as she tried to get her heart to slow the hell down before he heard it pounding out of her chest.

"You ok?" he asked pulling open his dresser grabbing some sweat pants to put on and Brooke couldn't help but stare at his perfectly toned body. She always thought he looked good but coming out of the shower and his body glistening with water she wouldn't lie she was definitely turned on and her heart started to speed up but for a whole different reason. "Brooke? Hello?" Lucas smiled.

"Huh? What?" Brooke said coming out of her daze "Yeah I'm fine."

"Ok, well I just wanted to tell you that I have a basketball game tomorrow." He said sitting next to her on the bed and smiling when he noticed she was wearing his old sweatshirt, she always looked so good in it. "But if you want I can skip it."

"What? No Lucas don't be stupid, I will come to the game and sit with Rachel." Brooke said shaking her head at the thought he would not play just because she was afraid of running into him.

"You sure?"

"Broody, I am positive, I want to watch you play, just so I can hear all the girls talk about the hot new guy playing is, and I can say nope he is mine." She smiled but then started to back track "I mean not mine because you not mine, I mean like…ok you know like friends that are your friends are yours and…" she rambled and he laughed.

"Brooke, its fine I know what you meant." He smiled taking her hand in his and them both holding each other's gaze. "So umm…" Lucas finally spoke looking away from her "I guess I should let you sleep." He said as he started to get off the bed but she grabbed his hand.

"Luke…"

"Yeah?" he answered as she sat up on the bed hugging him tight.

"Thank you," she whispered as she felt his grip tighten around her, before finally pulling away but staying close to him rubbing his cheek with her thumb "I don't know what I would do without." She whispered leaning up and kissing his cheek softly.

"Anything for you Pretty Girl," he smiled gently rubbing her lower back where his hand was still holding tight "Anything for you."
