After the basketball game Brooke was feeling pretty good. Did she forgive Keith no, hell no, but she felt safe. That now he was never around and he would be around. Now when she explained everything to Lucas he freaked, he felt all bad for her being outside alone and he talked to her, but then he got mad at her for going outside alone which made her laugh. His tone went from oh my god, are you ok I am so sorry; to what the hell were you thinking Brooke. Yet then she told him she was fine and he then apologized for yelling at her.

Now everything seemed fine everyone was pretty much chilled and just sitting around in Brooke and Rachel's dorm room talking.

"So we were sitting there and Brooke just freaks and throws her drink on the guy." Jeff laughs telling everyone the story of one of his and Brooke's many adventures.

"Yeah then Jeff bitches the whole time about how he had to protect me from the guy and got a black eye." Brooke laughed "I mean I didn't ask him to stick up for me I could have been just fine on my own."

"Yeah Brookie you were taking care of yourself just fine." Jeff says rolling his eyes at his best friend.

"Hey Underwood no eye rolling," Brooke teased pointing at him "You love me don't even act like you don't." she laughed.

"Yeah.. Yeah" Jeff said pushing her finger out of his face. "So who has some fun stories about Brookie here?"

"Oh what about the time Brooke completely face plated coming down the stairs of the dorm, did you see that?" Rachel asks and everyone just shakes their head, "It was great we were just walking and talking about…" Rachel paused looking at Lucas "Well we were just talking and then I have no clue how she misses a step or something I don't know she goes down, down hard." Rachel says laughing at the memory.

"Oh and Rachel of course just comes downstairs sits on the last stair next to me not helping me up at all. And finishes our talk while everyone walks around looking at us like we are nuts." Brooke laughs.

"Oh Brooke you were always the klutz." Lucas laughs falling back on her bed next to her.

"Hey it's not like you are any better." Brooke argues slapping him playfully on the arm.

"What I have never face planted down a flight of stairs." Lucas defended.

"Oh really? Because if I remember correctly you did fall downstairs and dropped me down those stairs with you." Brooke smirks kinking an eye brow at him.

"And if I remember…" Lucas smiles sitting up on her bed inches from her face "It was because you couldn't get my shirt off." He smirks back making Brooke blush some.

"Point one goes to Lucas." she laughs but keeping her eyes locked on his.

"I feel like that story should be shared." Rachel smirks, knowing full well how that story probably went but with her plan to get them together, she figure them remembering their past would definitely help.

"What?" Brooke said breaking her gaze from the boy in front of her and too her best friend.

"I said you should tell that story." Rachel grinned from her bed. "Don't you think it would be a good story baby?" Rachel asked Jeff who just shrugged, until Rachel pinched him making him squeal.

"Babe what the hell." He jumped rubbing his arm but Rachel just tossed a glance toward the ex lovers across the room "I mean sure that sounds like a good one."

"Well it's not that big of a story, we were walking upstairs I fell Lucas broke my fall story over." Brooke shrugged getting off her bed to grab a drink out of the mini fridge.

"Ok I know there is more to the story than that." Rachel argued with an eye roll falling into her boyfriend's lap, "So why don't you tell us the real story Luke."

"Oh well…umm…" Lucas said a little nervous since Brooke clearly didn't want to tell it.

"Oh come on its not like everyone in here doesn't know you two dated so I know you all have stories. So share the one where Brooke landed on the ground because those are always the best." Rachel grinned.

"I am not sharing that story." Brooke protest "If Lucas does fine but I'm not, it's embarrassing."

"Oh well if you don't mind I will share." Lucas smile like a kid to share a story of him and Brooke if she doesn't care. Yet he knows Brooke she does care but still he is sharing it anyway. "Ok it was right after a basketball game…"

Flashback

"So what is your plan for tonight?" Lucas asks Brooke as they walk hand in hand out of the school gym.

"Well I was going to go out with the Naley but I think they are a little busy." Brooke laughed looking over at the couple already in a crazy make out session.

"That's just so weird." Lucas cringes at his best friend and brother.

"They are cute and in love, be nice." Brooke laughed spinning around wrapping her arms around his neck, "But I bet I could do something that makes you not think about your brother making out with your best friend."

"Oh really?" he asked kinking his eye brow at her.

"Mhmm…" she grinned leaning up and kissing him.

"You know that helps a lot. But I think it maybe still there in my head." he tells her and she just laughs.

"Well how do you think we get it out huh?" she asks and he leans down whispering things in her ear "Lucas Scott!" Brooke squealed smacking him on the arm and he just laughed pulling her into his arms.

"Come on baby lets go to my house."

The two lovers weren't even in the door before they were on top of each other, Lucas's lips were attached to Brooke's, and Brooke's arms were tight around his neck as her legs did the same to his waist. Crashing hard into the wall both didn't flinch, Lucas dropped Brooke to the ground pulling off her shirt and running his kiss up her stomach then neck sucking hard.

"Luke…" Brooke moaned as he just picked her up in his arms again as the two stumbled to the stairs. Brooke struggled getting off his shirt, and wondered why god made something that was like Brooke proof. She yanked hard on it and while she did she ripped it and both tumbled down the stairs following down as Brooke let out a loud laugh.

"Oh babe you ok?" Brooke asked between laughs.

"No I'm not." Lucas groaned rubbing his head "This really isn't funny." He told her which just made her laugh harder.

"Yes it is." she said as she laid on top of him "Thanks for not letting me hit the hard ground."

"Yeah no problem." He smiled forgetting the pain he felt and just at the girl on top of him, "Guess this just kind of ruined the moment huh?" he asked and she laughed.

"Maybe a little."

"You think we could get that moment back?" he asked flipping her over so she was underneath him.

"I don't know but let's try." She smiled up at him kissing him.

"Yeah let's." he mumbled into her lips as he deepened their kiss.

Flashback Over

"And because of your Brookie here I had like a huge bruise on my back for like two weeks." Lucas laughed as he finished the story.

"Was the mark from the fall or the sex?" Rachel smirked kinking an eye brow.

"Rachel!" Brooke squealed throwing her pillow at her favorite red head who just laughed. "Ok no more Brooke stories." Brooke ordered and everyone just laughed and nodded as the group started talking about other things.

Lucas kind of liked this scene in front of him, Rachel was all cuddle up to Jeff on her bed and Brooke sat leaning against the wall on hers with him next to her. Now he wished Brooke was cuddled up to him right now but figured he would take what he got and just have this right now. But his mind couldn't help but think about if right now it just felt like two couples hanging out.

"Where's my phone?" Brooke asked reaching over Lucas and looking under her pillow.

"Did you leave it in my room?" Lucas asked and she just shook her head no as she jumped off the bed and looked on her night stand.

"I had it at the game." Brooke paused scratching her head "I think the ringer is on someone call me." Brooke asked as she watched Lucas pull out his phone and dial her number as they waited for the phone to go off and Brooke froze when his ring tone started going off.

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
And I stare at the phone he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always!

Lucas grabbed her phone from under her bed "Oh there it is you can hang up now," Brooke asked reaching for the phone.

"No…" he said pulling away from her and listening to it, as the room stayed silent.


And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, you said forever and always,
Yeah

Then the music stopped and Lucas handed her the phone, grabbed his jacket to head out.

"Lucas wait." Brooke asked feeling bad, she forget that was his ring tone, she set it forever back and though it was how she felt at the time, the look on his face hurt her, "It's just a stupid ring tone."

"What's everyone else's huh?" he asked spinning to face her "I mean is Rachel's the same thing or even Jeff's or just mine?"

"I…umm…" Brooke stuttered not sure what to say.

"You know you broke up with me remember!" he yelled and Brooke jumped slightly at his tone.

"Luke man…" Jeff said trying to calm the situation but Lucas just held his hand up to him to silence him.

"You broke up with me, you left me! And you all day can say I didn't call you but guess what Brooke a damn phone goes both ways!" he snapped but not letting her talk as he stormed out slamming the door behind him and heading up to his room.

"Brooke…" Rachel sighed feeling bad for her friend who was just standing there in shock. Even Rachel had never head Lucas raise his voice before well at least not to Brooke, but Brooke had only one time and that was when she broke up with him the first time. He was so mad that day it actually scared Brooke bad.

"Wait…" Brooke paused as her tone turned from sad to anger "That bastard!" she yelled as she too ran out the room storming up to his dorm.

"What did that mean?" Jeff asked and Rachel just shrugged

Lucas slammed his door running his hands throw his hair not believing he just yelled at Brooke like that. He never yells at her but he is just so pissed off, he didn't end them, hell he tried to get with her every day since he has been back so what the hell was she to act like she was hurt. Like she was in all this pain when it was her fault they weren't together.

"You son of bitch!" Brooke yelled slamming his door as he turned to look at her. "How dare you yell at me like that!"

"How dare I!? Brooke you walk around like I am some piece of shit that broke you when I did nothing wrong!" he yelled back, "You left me I didn't leave you!"

"I never slept with anyone else either that was all you!!" she screamed back and he just looked at her confused.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"I mean was she the first? We were only broken up maybe a month but who knows maybe once I slammed the door someone else was in your bed behind me!" she yelled but still he stood confused "You say I didn't call you I did call you! I called you twice one time you were a completely asshole to me and the second some girl answered informing me that the boy I love so much, who preached loved me was in the shower!" she screamed with tears running down her face, but he just stood there still not sure what to say or what she even really meant "Oh yeah what all quiet now? No more yelling or screaming at me?"

"I umm…I…" he stuttered not knowing what to say, because there wasn't much to say. He did sleep with someone else, but then once he thought about it he wasn't wrong. "We were broken up…" was all he came up with. She left he was alone and they were broken up.

"Your right we were, but where my head was, and the fact I still loved you so much, I wouldn't have been able to just sleep with someone else." She told him but not yelling anymore, she was tired, tired of the fighting and yelling and just tired of it all.

"I was hurting." He told her and she just nodded.

"I was hurting too Lucas. Don't think just because I ended it means I wasn't because I was. I did what I thought was right. I did what I thought you needed." She told him as he just let out a dry laugh,

"You didn't do what you thought I needed." He told her shaking his head at that statement sitting on his bed putting his head in his hands "Because I needed you." He whispered and heard her let out a small sob. "All I needed is you…" he repeated getting off his bed and taking her hand in his leaning his forehead against her. "I love you Brooke." He told her and tears just fell faster from her eyes "Do you love me?"

"It's not that simple." She told him shaking her head biting her bottom lip nervously.

"Yes it is." he told her wiping her tears "It is that simple. Do you love me?" he asked again but she still said nothing. "God…" he whispered kissing her head "I love you Brooke I do, I just…I can't do this anymore." He whispered to her letting go of her hands and walking to his door.

"Lucas…" she called to him and he stopped at the door looking down then turning to look at her "I'm…I'm just scared." She confessed but he just stood at the door looking at her and she wasn't sure what he was thinking or anything until he whispered.

"Don't be scared Brooke... just be with me…please." He asked stepping close to her and taking her hand in his, "Just say you love me…"
