Chapter 3
6:27...6:28...6:29... "Ugh!" I groaned. I was so not looking forward for the party that was supposed to start in a hour and a half. Before I heard about all this Lucas crap, I was so
excited. I bought a new outfit, jewelry, and some new make up, but now I felt like it all was a waste. I guess I have to face Lucas eventually. I got up to go get ready, and I had a
great idea. "Why not show this jerk what he is so going to be missing?" I thought. I figured I needed to get payback some way, and I was amazing at making guys jealous. "He is so in
for it tonight." I thought, suddenly pumped for the party tonight.
It was now 7:30, I was just getting ready to leave. I took one last look in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction. "Damn, I look hot." I said confidently. I had on my new dark jeans that
accentuated my curves perfectly and a dark purple flowing shirt. My hair was straightened with my bangs swept to the side. I grabbed my purse and gift for Nathan and Haley, and got
in my car. "Peyton was right. This is going to be a fun night!" I thought, as I drove to TRIC.
I walked in the door, and saw Peyton at the bar, talking to one of the bartenders. "Hey, P. Sawyer." I greeted her. "Hey! Oh my God, Brooke, you look amazing!" Peyton said. "Thanks.
You look great, too." I replied. "Come on. We have to go find Nathan, Haley, and Lucas." Peyton said. She took my arm, and off we went.
"Hey everyone. Look who I found." Peyton said as we approached Haley, Nathan, and Lucas. "Brooke! You look great! I thought for sure by your attitude this morning that you were
going to show up in sweats." Haley said. I laughed, and replied, "Yeah, well things change." "Hey Brooke. You look nice." Nathan greeted me politely. "Thanks Nate. You don't look to
bad yourself." I said with a smile. "Oh my gosh, I almost forgot. Brooke this is Lucas. Lucas this is Brooke." Haley said. "Hi" I said. "Hey." he replied. I couldn't help but notice how much
hotter Lucas was. He was wearing torn jeans with a dark blue t-shirt. The shirt really brought out his eyes. There was something different about him, something sexier, but I couldn't
quite figure it out. "Alright, well I am going to go find Jake." Peyton said, as she broke the silence. "Okay. We should go say hi to everyone." Haley said to Nathan. "Sounds good. Luke,
do you want to come with us?" Nathan asked Lucas. "Nah. I think I'll stay here." Lucas responded, glancing at me. "Kay. Catch up with you later." Nathan replied, as he and Haley left.
"So, I can I get you a drink?" Lucas asked me, after they left. "Why, are you going to get me wasted so you can bang me again?" I replied. "Oh. You remember that, huh?" Lucas
answered, ashamed. "Yeah." I said. "Look, I'm sorry about that. I was a different guy back then. I really don't want you to judge me based on that. I would really like it if we could start
over, and be friends." Lucas said. "Well, what you did was pretty low. I'm going to have to think about it. Thanks for the drink." I said, as I took the drink and walked away.
"Hey! So, how was talking to Lucas?" Peyton asked as I approached her at the DJ stand. "Okay. He asked me if we could start over and be friends." I said. "Well that was nice. What
did you say?" Peyton asked. "I said I'd think about it." I replied. "Gotcha. Let me know what you decide." Peyton said. "We'll do. I think I am going to go dance. You want to come?" I
asked her. "That's okay. I gotta stay up here. I'll come find you in a little while, okay?" Peyton responded. "Alrighty!" I called as I entered the dance floor.
3 vodkas, 5 tequila shots, and 2 cosmopolitans later, I was extremely wasted and had no idea what was going on around me. However, I was having way more fun than I anticipated.
I have been on the dance floor for I think about 2 hours, grinding against all these random guys. Right when I was about to leave the dance floor to find the bathroom, this guy pulled
my arm. "Where do you think your going?" he asked. "I have to pee." I slurred. "Just wait a second." he replied, as he leaned in to start kissing my neck. "Stop. I have to go." I tried to
push him off me, but he was stronger than me. Plus with all the alcohol in my system, I was still unaware of everything. He continued to kiss my neck and grab me in all the wrong
places. "Hey! Get the hell off her!" I heard, not really recognizing the voice. "Piss off, man!" the random guy said back. I tried turning around, and I saw Lucas grabbing the guy off me.
The next thing I knew, Lucas and the random guy were in a major brawl. When Lucas had successfully beaten the guy up, he came directly to me. "Are you okay?" Lucas asked,
concerned. "Yeah" I slurred, sounding very tired. "Okay let's get you home." Lucas said as he lead me outside and into his car. A few minutes after I got in his car, I fell asleep.
