Hey ya'll so it hasn't been that long since I last updated which is a good thing because where I doing night shifts it is a little harder for me to write and update my chapters t a good pace, but I am trying so just bare with me for a while.

Anyway I really do appreciate your reviews and I love reading them to see what ya'll thin of each chapter... It really does help with writing the next one.

Anyway here's the next chapter... ENJOY!

"Where are we going?" I ask for the millionth time since Lucas showed up at my door and declared he wanted to take me somewhere.

I was sat in my room watching re-runs of gossip girl when Lucas appeared at my bedroom door with a smile on his face and sadness evident in his eyes declaring that he wanted to take me somewhere tonight.

Okay so it might be mid afternoon, but same difference to me.

I was trying to get myself out of it, but Lucas seemed adamant on it and the look on his face is the only reason I finally agreed and got dressed.

This was going to be weird, I don't know for him, but defiantly for me.

So here we are now in his car driving an hour away from Tree Hill with me not having a clue where he was taking us.

"We'll be there soon Brooke" he then looked from the road and glanced at me giving me a small short smile "just trust me"

I lock eyes with him for one second before looking away again and out the window "yeah because that worked out so well for me last time right"

Okay so maybe that was uncalled for, but he can't think I can seriously trust him after he broke me.

The rest of the ride was silent. I gave up asking where we were going and Lucas didn't utter a word to me since I shut him down about the trust thing.

And then we finally came to a stop. I looked around only to notice this was the town my cousin and her boyfriend live in along with my Aunt Nae.

Lucas turned off the engine and opened his car door getting out. I did the same still looking around and saw the swing park we used to go to in the distance.

"Come on" Lucas grabbed onto my hand and we were heading over to the park "so I know this isn't our ideal hang out sort of thing anymore, but I really thought if we travelled a little back in time to our old hang out places then the tension and hate you have towards me will slowly disappear"

I stopped mid walk pulling Lucas back with me since he was holding my hand. I'd be lying if I didn't say the connection we had was still there when he touched me, because it was no matter how much I hated to admit it.

I looked up at Lucas to see him looking intently at me like he had said something wrong and he had. I don't hate him, I could never hate him. I might not have liked the person he turned into when Keith died, but hate was too much of a strong word for me to feel that way towards him.

"Brooke you okay?" Came his voice that snapped me out of my thoughts and zoned me back into the moment.

"I don't hate you Lucas" was the only thing I could think to say at that moment with him looking at me like he was.

"You don't?" I shake my head and take that step towards him.

"I might not have liked the person you've become since losing Keith, but I don't hate you Luke" I could see a hint of a smile form on his perfect plumped pink lips and the old feelings I was trying to get over we're slowly trying to make an reappearance so I backed away from him and turned around unlocking our hands breaking the connection "you were the love of my life Luke... I could never hate you" I then proceeded to make my way over to where the park is feeling Lucas walking along with me.

3 hours, 45 minutes, 25 seconds was the amount of time Lucas and I had spent in the park we used to go to when we were younger and happier. Lucas pushed me on the swings like he used too. He went down the slides with me like we used to. He even got us some ice cream's just like he used too and for a moment or two I really did think we could go back to how we used to be...

Brooke and Lucas... Brucas...

But then like always the past two years fill my head and I remember all the bad things he had done to me and how bad his made me feel and that alone gives me doubt about the Lucas Scott I used to know. The Lucas Scott I fell in love with all those years ago.

"Oh my god Lucas hey" I looked up to see Claudia Gregory standing behind the counter in the famous ice-cream Parlour Lucas and I used to always go to as kids.

"Oh hey Claudia" Lucas opulently replies giving her a big white teeth smile.

"And Brooke... I haven't seen you guys around here in a long time" she says leaning against the counter "Cece never told me you were in town and with Lucas... I thought you guys broke up"

"Oh yeah we did... This is just a goodbye sort of thing Lucas wanted to bring me on" I reply not looking at Lucas since I didn't really fancy seeing the sadness around him at this moment "and Cecelia doesn't really talk much of this town anymore" and she doesn't, but the last time I heard from Ma is that Cece and Matthew are moving to LA for college. Cece and I drifted after Lucas and I broke up and after she and Matthew for serious.

I guess I wasn't that important in her life.

Oh well...

"Anyway I'll have the strawberry Rocky Mountain with extra sprinkles and strawberry sauce" Claudia gave me a sweet smile and then turned to Lucas "oh right sorry... Lucas will have the chocolate fondue fountain with extra nuts and double the chocolate sauce... He has a sweet tooth" Claudia laughed then turned to make our orders.

"You remembered?"

I moved my eyes from watching Claudia to meet Lucas's. I forgot how blue they can get when his showing his true feelings about something.

"Of course I remember Luke, things like that don't just go away" Claudia then came over with our orders. I gave Lucas a small smile then turned back to Claudia.

"That'll be $8.00 please" I got to get my purse from my bag when Lucas stops me and hands Claudia a $10.00.

"This one's on me Brooke" Claudia took the money from him and then handed him the change "We've got one more place to go before I take you back, come"

I just give him a simple nod and turn back to the Claudia "Thank you Claudia, it was nice seeing you again. Take care" She bid me the same and then I followed Lucas out of the parlour and over to a park bench just outside by the green.

After we had both finished out ice-creams we threw the trash into the can beside us and Lucas started to lead me away from his car and into the woods like we used to do all the time with Cecelia and her ex boyfriend Kyle. We did have good memories in this town.

We must have been walking for at least a good 10 minutes before Lucas stopped and pulled a branch back revealing a waterfall and then it hit me... I remember this place. I guess I didn't recognised the trail because the last time I came here I was blind folded. I glanced at Lucas who was smiling at me getting my heart to race and butterflies to start fluttering around my stomach.

"I wanted to end the perfect night in a more perfect way so I thought what's better than bringing you to the place we spent our first anniversary" And it was beautiful... I almost forgot how beautiful. The water looked so clear and blue with beautiful flowers that have bloomed gorgeously.

I walked further behind the branch Lucas was still holding above his head. I slipped my feet out of my flats I was wearing feeling the crisp grass in-between my toes. I then plonked myself down on the grass lying down so my hair was laid out on the grass having the strong smell of flowers wash over me. This place was gorgeous and I loved it even more the second time.

"I want you to remember all the good times we've had together Brooke" he doesn't realise I do. That's all I ever think about with Lucas.

Never the bad stuff, always the good stuff which angers me even more because he doesn't even deserve me remembering the good stuff. He hurt me, he hurt me more than anything and yet he didn't stop. He dint stop and tell me why he was doing what he was doing; he just bullied me and turned me into nothing and a nobody.

I loved who Lucas Scott used to be... Not what he became after Keith died.

Will Brooke finally let go and let Lucas back into her heart and life before she moved to London after graduation or is it really and truly too late for Lucas and Brooke to ever become Brucas one again?
