Hey all you gorgeous people...
Thank ya'll for your awesome reviews... They make me smile all the time and I appreciate every one of you reading and reviewing it's amazing how much support you guys send my way.
So the first part of this story is in Lucas's point of view because I knew you guys would want to see Lucas get scolded by his Ma and Nathan.
So also in this chapter it kind of shows why Lucas blamed Brooke for what happened to Keith, but as the story goes on it will make more sense and flashbacks are to come to help ya'll understand it a little better.
I'm really glad that ya'll are loving this story. As I'm writing it I'm loving it more and more.
Anyway here it is... ENJOY!
Lucas
I'm an idiot! A jerk face! I'm every name under the sun because I accused Brooke of the most awful thing going and the look in her eyes when it came out my mouth broke me.
I might not show it, but 2 years ago when I decided to break up with Brooke it was the worst decision of my life, but I was in a bad place. I was in a place I didn't wish to be in. I had just lost my dad and I blamed myself mostly because I was meant to call him that night, but I didn't and that is on me; so instead of putting the blame all on me I made myself believe that it was all Brooke because she called me crying because her dad had a heart attack and was in hospital so I dropped practice and went to her quickly, I was her boyfriend and her bestfriend she needed me and I was there for her; so I blamed her for everything that happened and I'm an idiot for doing that.
Her words hit home and the table went silent once again. I looked down at my plate full of food and slowly lost my appetite. I didn't dare look up to see the faces of my family or Victoria.
"You are not the boy I raised Lucas Eugene Scott" Ma scolded and she was right. When dad died I changed into this other person I didn't recognise and that person took things out on Brooke. I became some sort of a bad boy and I lived up to the name.
Brooke didn't deserve anything I've thrown her way and I suck all the more.
"Blaming that poor girl for something that wasn't her fault. Brooke lost Keith too Lucas. She lost him just like the rest of us"
"What the hell is wrong with you" Nathan barks and I could hear the anger rise in his voice.
His always loved Brooke like a little sister so when she stopped coming around he noticed quicker than Ma did and I would lie just so I wouldn't have to have that conversation.
"You're such a dick Lucas. If I was Brooke I wouldn't even bother with your ass anymore" Nathan then scraps his chair back and stands up "come on Hales, I'll walk you out" I finally looked up and saw Haley nod standing up. She thanks Ma for dinner and Nathan walked her out.
Victoria didn't say anything, but I could see the hurt and sadness in her eyes. I just accused her adoring daughter of the worst thing. I'm surprised she doesn't hate me. She then thanked Ma for dinner and also left. I heard the front door shut again.
And then it was two.
"You need to apologise to her Lucas" Ma says standing up and collecting the plates. I stand up also and help her take everything into the kitchen.
She was right of course. I did need to apologise to Brooke. I've been meaning to ever since I broke up with her, but I got put with the bad boy image and it had its perks, so I forced myself to show this facade of hate towards her. It was easier than dealing with the fact that I was wrong and needed to apologise.
"If your Dad could hear you now, he would be rolling around in his grave Lucas Scott" and she was right again. Dad loved Brooke and I was really wrong for accusing her.
But I do I want to care for her. I mean I did stop caring for the past 2 years, why should now be any different?
Correction Lucas you never stopped. You tried... There's a difference dude.
Okay so maybe my inner voice is right. I haven't stopped caring for Brooke or what she does hence why I hated every guy that came in contact with her.
"What the heck is your problem Lucas" roared Nathan as he walked into the kitchen. He slammed his hands down on the island and narrowed his eyes at me. His never been this mad before "did you even see her face; she was torn apart by your accusation and a fucked up one at that"
"Language Nathan" Ma scolded
"Sorry" Nathan mutters then turning his gaze back to me "Brooke isn't the reason why Dad isn't here anymore. If you want to blame anyone blame the dick who crashed into him that night or the people he was with letting him leave drunk knowing he was driving" Nathan then walked around the island and stopped in front of me "but don't you ever and I mean ever again blame Brooke for something she had no control over" and with that Nathan walks pass me and says goodbye to Ma then he leaves. I could just about hear the engine to his car after the slam of the door.
Brooke hates me more than she already did, I saw it in her eyes.
I seriously screwed up this time.

"Boo!" Brooke yells jumping up from my bed
"Ahh pretty girl you scared me" I joke jumping on top of her hearing her giggle which brought a smile to my face. Hearing Brooke giggle was like music to my ears.
"Lucas stop" Brooke giggled some more as I started to tickle her "Luucas!" She squealed
"No until you say sorry for trying to scare me half to death" I tell her with a chuckle of my own.
"Okay okay Lucas... Luucass... I'm sorry" she squealed some more.
That satisfied me "Your forgiven Pretty Girl" I leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips "you look hot in my cloths by the way" she blushed receiving a smile from me.
"Thank you, but you're mean doing that Broody" She smacked my shoulder lightly "Making me blush for your own pleasure"
"But your cute when you blush" I compliments running my fingers up and down her bare thigh "so have you decided what we're going ass to the Halloween party this weekend?"
"Actually I have" She smiles climbing into my lap so she was straddling me now "I'm going as a sexy vampire and you my dear boyfriend are going as a sexy vampire too without a short of course"
"Oooo saucy Pretty Girl" I tease getting a dimpled smile from her. I always did love her dimples "I love you baby girl"
"And I love you Broody" She then leaned in and kissed me. I was always the happiest with Brooke. She made me happy and I truly do love her.

Back to my point of view.
The next morning I woke an hour earlier than usual. I went for my usual run and had my usual shower before heading off to school a little earlier today. Mom was still here and I didn't really wanna face her after what went on at dinner last night. I snapped; I snapped bad and I hate that. I wanted to be seen as the stable got together girl, but last night I failed with that. I failed myself and I was kicking myself for it.
I park my car in the usual spot and get out making sure to lock it I head through the court yard and head into the school building. There were a few students wondering around with friends and I could see a few reading books and writing assessments. What a bunch of geeks.
Half hour passes and more students were turning up. Classes were gonna start in less than 10 minutes so I walk down the hall to my locker. I put in the combination in and clicked my locker open when I felt a presence with me. I knew who it was so I rolled my eyes and ignore that he was there. I collect the books I need and shut my locker again and go to walk away when Lucas speaks.
"Wait... Brooke I..."
I spin on my heels to glare at him. How dare he even come and talk to me like I actually want to talk to him again. I would have given anything for him to talk to me and mean it again, but now he can shove it where the sun doesn't bloody shine.
"Lucas don't" I cut in holding my books to my chest "you don't even get to talk to me right now, so please just... just don't"
"But I... I really didn't mean what I said" He tries to apologise, but right now I didn't care about him being sorry. The past 2 years his blamed me for Keith's death and that hurt; it hurt real bad.
"Is there another reason why you humiliated me and have treated me like I'm nothing more than the dirt on the bottom of your shoe" Lucas looked down and the floor and I let out a small scoff with a shake of my head "yeah that's what I thought" I then turn around and walk away.
If Lucas thought he was going to just apologise to me and I'll let this go then he thought wrong and he obviously doesn't know me.

"So last night was erm.. eventful" Haley says sitting down on the bleacher beside me.
It was lunch time and I was sat outside finishing off my English assessment. Yeah I know a geeky thing to do, but I needed a distraction since the Ravens were playing on the outside court today for their training. Lucas noticed me and I knew that because he kept glancing over at me, but I wouldn't make eye contact with him. I might of hated the way he treated me before and I might have thought he was a jerk face, but now... right this second and last night I begun to hate him.
Two people can play at the game he has been playing for the last 2 years.
"Yeah it was" I admit looking up from my paper gently hitting the tip of my pen to the paper "I'm sorry to just leave you there"
"Oh it's okay Brookie, Nathan walked me out after he kind of shouted at Lucas" she states and I just nod "I really didn't think the reason Lucas hated you was that bad"
"Yeah neither did I" I look ahead at the players on the court and spot Lucas shooting hoops.
"Change of subject?" Haley asks and I nod loving the fact she knows when to drop a subject. It's one of the reasons why she's one of my bestfriends "okay... how we getting to the party tomorrow?"
"We're taking my car and taking turns driving" I tell her closing my note book and placing it back in my bag "is Nathan your plus one?" She nods and I give her a small smile "cool he'll drive with us. Jake is my plus one and I don't think Rach is taking a plus one"
"Sounds like you have it planned out"
I give her a one shoulder shrug "It made sense I guess" she nods just as the bell rang signalling lunch hour had come to an end. I pack my food pit away in my bag and grab the strap of my bag and sling it over my shoulder "so I'll see you later and sorry for forgetting to pick you up this morning"
"It's fine Brookie, Rachel gave me a ride instead" I gave Haley a small hug and we parted ways to our classes.

The school days seem to fly by these days. Before I know it I'm going to be graduating and then I'll probably go away with the girls for summer facing college and a whole new world of teaching. It all seemed exciting to me because I get to get away from Tree Hill and Lucas and live my life without having him in it. Without seeing him anymore which I could of course do with. It was my turn to ignore him and treat him like a nobody to me. It was my turn to get him to feel what I've felt for the past 2 years.
The last school bell rang about 15 minutes ago. I was heading to my car from my locker when I spotted Lucas leaning against Miley's locker. She was on my squad. Way to bang one of my cheerleaders Lucas flaming Scott. I roll my eyes at the scene unfolding in front of me and shake my head which I've been doing a lot as of late when it comes to the douche bag known as my former bestfriend and former boyfriend.
I walk down the hall and to the double doors which leads to the car park. I push down on the silver bar and push the door open. Most of the cars were gone, but there was still a few scattered around here or there. I walk over to my car and take my keys out I unlock my car when I felt someone tug on my arm.
"Brooke can we talk" Came his voice for the second time today.
I turn and take a glance at him "No we cannot" I state opening my car door "I have to be somewhere"
That was a lie, but he didn't know that. Mom texted me earlier saying she had to go back to Paris because of a fashion emergency which I was glad for because I didn't want to have the talk I knew she wanted to have, but yet I was a little sad that I didn't get to spend any time with her. Maybe next time.
"Brooke... please can you just..."
"No I cannot Lucas now if you will excuse me" I slide my bag off my shoulder and put it in my car. Lucas just stood there looking at me. I could see some sort of sadness in his eyes that kind of made my heart break a little. I haven't seen this much emotion from Lucas in a while, but I had to learn not to car. It was stupid to care when he doesn't care about me; not really anyway "I don't know what you want from me Lucas, but I will not stand here and talk to you when for 2 years you didn't give me the time of day even when I begged you too"
"But Brooke..."
"Don't say sorry again Lucas because it doesn't mean anything from you. It never has. I don't know when you turned into the person you are now, but I don't like him and I never have. The guy you used to be was way better than this guy you are now" I tell him not giving him a chance to speak "you've become a worst sort of person Lucas and if Keith was here now he would hate the person you've become too" with that I climb into my car and start the engine hearing my baby come to life "I don't want to speak to you Lucas... I just don't" I then back up out the parking space and head home.
It seems Lucas had totally lost Brooke this time. Maybe there was a chance before, but his now blew it, but will Brooke ever be able to forgive him for the accusation he made or was it too bad that she's willing to let Lucas finally go for good?
Everyone thought or thinks its Peyton's fault why Lucas blamed Brooke for Keith's death, but it's not. I'm sorry to break it to you guys, but not every bad thing is because of Peyton. She really isn't that bad when you think of it.
Anyway you guys know what to do...
REVIEW!
Much Love Always Roch xoxo
