An: Yes I'm still alive. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have no excuse other then life. But here it is chapter 5. What you've all been waiting 4.

"I love you too," a long pause, then, "Pretty Girl."

"Who's Pretty Girl?"

"Huh?"

"I SAID who's Pretty Girl. Can't you hear, Uncle Lucas?"

"Oh. Hey, buddy. When did you get here?" Lucas asked his nephew/godson. He had been dreaming about a perfect moment in time. When she had given him the 82 letters she wrote to him. His Cheery. His Pretty Girl. His Brooke Davis.

"And then Auntie Brooke told me to come ask you." Lucas came back to Earth in time to hear Jamie finish. He immediately felt bad for tuning his nephew out, but from the looks of it Jamie had told a long story, for he was out of breath.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah! So can you come?"

"Where's that?"

"Uncle Lucas! You weren't listening were you?" when Luke guiltily shook his head Jamie continued. "Oh well I forgive you. But, can we go to Auntie Brooke's house to hang out until the funeral?"

"Yes. Just let me take a quick shower." Lucas said and with that the two walked out to the living room where Lucas saw Brooke laying on his couch sleeping.

"Go sit on the chair and you can watch TV. But be careful not to wake your Aunt Brooke up, ok?" Lucas told Jamie who nodded and then tip toed to the chair. Lucas took a quick shower and came out to see Brooke and Cooper talking as Jamie watched TV seeming completely immersed in the cartoon that was playing.

"I'll be just a minute then we can go." Lucas said causing Brooke and Cooper to notice his presence and Brooke to reply,

"Ok. Take your time. I'm fine talking to Coop." Brooke said, and she couldn't help but smile at the sight of Lucas in nothing but a towel draped around his waist. He sure has kept in shape over the years. Whoa! Where did that thought come from? He's my best friend or one of there's widowed husband. Although… she is gone now and she's the only reason the two of you aren't still together.

"You ready to go, Cheery?" Lucas asked her. This pulled her out of her mental fight. She physically shook her head to erase the thoughts that had been occurring seconds ago.

"Yeah. Lets go." Brooke hugged Cooper while saying; "Bye Coop. We'll see ya later." Then grabbed her keys and headed for the door turning back to say,

"Come on Broody." Jamie was already by her side. Lucas walked up to them and as they walked out she recognized Lucas' outfit.

"Nice outfit by the way, Luke." He was wearing the necklace she had given him the first time they dated (she thought he had lost it), his Keith's Body Shop hoodie (it was cool outside), and the same jeans he wore that day in New York he found out his book would be published. How she remembered those things she had no idea.

"Thanks, Brooke." Lucas said smiling. Each item of clothing brought back memories for him: his necklace of when he was fixing up Larry's car and Brooke held onto it as they kissed, his hoodie of when his Uncle Keith, who might as well have been his father, was alive, and his jeans of the day 2 years ago when he discovered his book was to be published and he spent the night with Brooke pretending to be engaged then they kissed. Honestly it hadn't been from the alcohol and when he woke up through his hang over he smiled at the memory of her familiar lips. And of course the one thing that he always wears his tattoo from their first date, Keith had been so angry but if she had smiled her dimpled smile and asked he would have done it again in a heartbeat. Lucas then realized they were at Brooke's house. That trip seemed all to quick. They went into the house and Lucas saw two things: 1. A sleeping Jenny. 2. Jake and Rachel talking and looking very friendly.

"Are they…?" Lucas asked in a whisper of Brooke, as he pointed at Jake and Rachel.

"Together? Not yet. Crushing out on each other? Totally!" Brooke replied in a slightly louder whisper. Jamie ran over to his new playmate/friend. Jake and Rachel looked up and greeted the newcomers. Suddenly a noise disturbed their talking. Bleep. Bleep.

"That's my phone." Rachel replied when she saw the confused looks. Rachel opened her text and read what it said silently then by the end her draw had dropped.

"What?" Brooke asked noticing Rachel's odd behavior.

"I was so caught up in other stuff I totally forgot about the VMA's. Well, anyway one of my friends from rehab just texted me about it. Apparently last night Taylor Swift won something and Kanye West went up on stage and said Beyonce deserves it more!"

"What? No way. Wait till Skills hears this. He loves Kanye." Brooke replied. Jake and Lucas were shocked as well. The four went on soon enough and continued talking about totally random things until it was time for everyone to get ready for the funeral. Lucas and Jamie said good-byes then left. Lucas drove to the Naley house. When they got there Lucas knocked.

"Hey." Haley greeted hugging Lucas and then kissing Jamie. Nathan showed up now and he to hugged Lucas then he picked up Jamie. Then Lucas said he'd better leave if he wanted to be ready in time for the funeral. Everyone set through the funeral minimal tears were cried. Then when everyone went to the graves Bevin and all the other girls from the high school cheerleading squad walked up and did a cheer about how the 'whore was dead'. Brooke, Lucas, Haley, Jake, and Nathan were shocked, but soon got into it (Jake still being slightly sad because he did love her, though she hurt him and everyone else many times.). But overall nobody really minded. Skills saw Bevin and tried his hardest to avoid her. Back at Brooke's house it was more of a party then anything else. Brooke told Skills about Kanye and he was shocked and angered at his hero. But then heard an all too familiar voice says,

"Hey." But before Skills could respond to Bevin her lips crashed into his.

"You're married." Skills said pulling away almost immediately.

"No, I'm not. Tim and I got a divorce; we realized we weren't in love anymore. I'm still in love with you Skills Taylor." She then kissed him again. This time Skills kissed her back. This was a good time for catching up. Brooke is walking over to talk to Anna who she just saw when a hand grabs her. It pulled her into a corner her heart was racing.

"Hi." Lucas said to her as he leaned into her, he had her pushed against the wall.

"You scared me!" Brooke said. He could feel her heart beating against his chest. He laughed at her earning a slap.

"What was that for?"

"What was the heart attack for?" Brooke replied.

"I needed to talk to you. In Private."

"Well, we're in private. So talk." Lucas took a deep breath and closed his eyes then he kissed her, it was a sweet gentle kiss, which she reciprocated. When they were out of breath she finally pulled back. He leaned his forehead against hers and tried to catch his breath.

"Lucas… what… was… that?" Brooke said between pants.

"That… was… a kiss. A really… really…. Good kiss." Lucas answered her, he too out of breath.

"I realize that. Is there a reason for it or were you just bored?"

"There was a reason."

"And it would be?"

"I love you Brooke Davis. I'm in love with you. I miss my Cheery. My Pretty Girl. I miss waking up next to you and kissing you all the time. And getting drunk and talking about 'Weird Science' with you. I miss you beating me at pool. Reading your letters and writing them to you. I'm the guy for you Br-" He didn't get to finish, her lips crashed into his.

"I knew it was coming." Haley whispered to Nathan.

"I know you did. Who didn't?" Nathan said

"He told me he loved her last night." Cooper replied to them. The three continued to stand there and watch the two making out. Jamie came running up to them.

"Mommy! Daddy! Guess what! Whoa. Yay!" Jamie stood with them as well now. Brucas pulled away both had face-splitting smiles. But Brooke had a feeling someone was watching them she turned her head and laughed at seeing them. Lucas followed her gaze and he smiled.

"Are you stalking us?" Lucas asked them earning laughs all around.

"You know what?" Jamie said. Cooper picked him up and asked what.

"I always thought Auntie Brooke and Uncle Lucas looked at each other like Mommy and Daddy do." Jamie said earning smiles.

"That's the look of love." Cooper said.

"That's right. One day when you're in love you'll look at that person this way to." Brooke said kissing her nephew.

"Did Aunt Karen look at Uncle Keith like that?" Jamie asked. He had been told of his Uncle Keith. He always wished he could have met him.

"Yeah. He really did. He loved her so much. It was unbelievable." Lucas said he had tears in his eyes. Brooke pulled him into a tight hug and whispered words of comfort to him.

"I'm sorry I made you sad Uncle Lucas." Jamie said reaching up to rub Lucas' back.

"No it's not you buddy. I just miss him a lot is all." Lucas said looking up at Jamie.

"I understand. I would always be sad if I lost you." Jamie said nodding his head while looking at Luke. Everyone was amazed by how smart Jamie seemed. They left Brucas alone after a minute. Once alone they whispered and kissed non-stop.
