Okay so I know I said I probably wouldn't update today, but when I looked outside and saw that it was snowing(in flippin October!!) I got an idea for a chapter. Not sure how good it is, but I liked the concept. If you guys like it let me know. I know where I want to take it, if you like the snowed in idea, if not I can change it.

It was an unusually cold December day in Tree Hill. The news channels were saying that Tree Hill should brace for the worst snowstorm they have ever seen. Brooke groaned as she watched this. 'Perfect' she thought to herself. 'As if this hasn't already been a horrible enough week.' After what happened with Lucas last week, she had jumped on a plane for a few days to visit her family in California. The change was welcomed by her, and gave her time to think about everything. She got back last night so that she could at least show up to school on Friday for finals. She didn't want to have to run into Lucas, but she knew that was inevitable. 'Here we go' she thought as she pulled on her winter boots and pea coat before walking out the front door to a bitter cold day and at least two inches of snow already on the ground.

Her baby blue beetle definitely did not like the snow. She nearly drove off the road twice, slammed into the guard rail (thank god she was going slow), and finally made it to school; twenty minutes into first period. "Nice of you to show up Ms. Davis" Mr. Edwards said when she walked through the door. She felt all eyes on her, careful not to look to far towards the back of the classroom. She could feel his eyes burning a hole into her. "I'm sorry Mr. Edwards, I had a small accident. I was really trying to be on time and.." "Are you okay Ms. Davis?" "Yes, I'm fine. I'd just really like to get this test over with." "Very well, the only seat left is up front, so take a seat and good luck." She grabbed her booklet and headed back to her seat. She looked up once and quickly glanced down when her eyes met Lucas's.

This test was hard. They had blocked off two hours to complete it, although it only took Brooke an hour and ten minutes. She was dreading having to be here another six hours because she didn't know how she was going to make it home with this much snow. Before the bell rang to release the students to their next class the principle came over the intercom. "I'm sorry students, but classes have been cancelled for the remainder of the day, due to the snow storm. If we keep you here I'm afraid some of you won't be able to make it home. Finals will resume on Monday morning. Please drive safely and enjoy the weekend." Everyone broke into cheers that they could go home. Brooke was just relieved she could go home and not have to worry about the drive home later. The bell rang and she quickly grabbed her things and rushed out the door. She avoided Lucas again. 'Good job, Brooke' she thought to herself. If only it were that easy.

As she approached her car she heard her name being called. She knew who it was, and she tried to rush to her car, but he was a faster runner than she was. "Hey Brooke, can we talk?"

"I'm sorry Luke, but the weather is bad and I just don't want to delay getting home any longer."

"Can I come over and we can talk then?" Lucas asked.

"No."

"Okay, can we please act like adults and have a rational conversation. What you think you saw was.."

"I don't want to hear it, Luke. You're a player, always have been and always will be. It was stupid of me to buy into your lines. I'm not going to be just another notch on your belt. Now if you don't mind, I have to be going." She went to turn her back on him, but he grabbed her arm and spun her around.

"Actually I do mind. You never let me finish what I'm trying to say. Grow up, Brooke. I only wanted to be with you. And if you were going to be another notch on my belt, I would have fucked you last week when you were telling me how much you wanted me. I wasn't sleeping with anyone the day you came over. Did you take a good look who was laying with me?" He looked at her and she just nodded no and went to say she didn't care anymore but he cut her off. "I was with your best friend, Brooke. I was with Hailey, because her and Nathan had a fight. He does live in the same house as I do and she needed someone to talk to. I was so tired from being up studying with you the entire night before that I fell asleep shortly after she cried herself to sleep in our hug. I have no feelings for Hailey and if you hadn't noticed" he said and pointed to Nathan and Hailey kissing near his car. "I wouldn't do that to my brother or you. Ask Hailey if you don't believe me. I'm sick of you always making me feel like the bad guy and a piece of shit. I'm done with this situation. I can't do it anymore. I seriously think you are fucked in the head." He walked away from her towards his car. He didn't stop when she called out his name, or when she fell on her ass chasing after him. He just got in his car and drove away from her and the school.

If there was one thing Brooke hated, it was being a judgmental asshole. And she had been with Lucas. She talked to Hailey on the phone that morning and Hailey confirmed what Lucas had told her. She had tried calling and texting him, but got nothing in return. She had made up her mind that Monday morning she would clear up things with Lucas. That was before the power went out. She was alone in a big dark house and for some reason this frightened her. She knew she was being dramatic thinking that she would be buried alive in her house from the blizzard, but she didn't care. She didn't want to be cold and alone. The only thing left to do was throw on some clothes, grab her coat, her car keys and go. She wasn't going to sleep with this much on her mind anyways.

Lucas decided he would work on his project for school. He made up his mind that he was going to do his half and give it to Brooke to finish. That way neither of them had to spend anytime together, since they both clearly couldn't stand the other. It was the perfect night for it anyways. His parents had gone out of town for their anniversary, Nathan was at Hailey's, and he had enough candles to burn for months. His room actually looked insanely romantic in this light. He popped a c.d. into his battery-operated radio and threw everything on the floor to begin.

Lucas had actually gotten quite a bit of work accomplished in fourty-five minutes. He was really proud of himself. This wasn't how he would have pictured spending his Friday nights a few months ago, but he actually didn't mind. Everything was starting to come together for this project. Between all the work he put in tonight and the research Brooke had done, this was going to be a kick ass project. Brooke. He felt bad for driving away when she fell on her ass. He loved her, but he couldn't stand to be near her anymore. She drove him insane. How could a girl possibly be that difficult? 'Stop thinking about her Luke. She doesn't want to be with you. If you start this, then you'll never get anything done tonight' he thought to himself. He was pulled from his thought when he heard a loud knock on his door. "Who the hell is that?" he thought as he walked to the door.

"Hi, Lucas" she managed to get out through her chattering teeth.

"Are you insane? What the hell are you doing out in this weather?"

"Can…can…i..i..come in?" she chattered.

"Get in here before you freeze, Brooke" he said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her through his door. He noticed that she look disheveled, more so than he ever saw. He quickly glanced out his door to see where she parked her car. There was no car there. "Where is your car? Did you walk here" he turned around to ask her. She had already kicked off her boots and jacket and was wrapped up on his bed in his blankets.

"My car broke down about a mile down the road, so I walked the rest of the way here. I was alone and didn't want to be by myself, and I took a chance that you were home."

Lucas sighed. He was glad that she was okay, but annoyed that she came over to ruin his quiet time. "I'll go get you a hot chocolate" he said as he walked out of his room.

Brooke knew he was still mad at her. She could see it on his face, but she knew he wouldn't kick her out. She couldn't lose him; she had to talk to him. So instead of sitting in his bed waiting for him to come back, she went to find him. He was in the living room near the fireplace, boiling a pan of water for the hot chocolate over the flame. She cleared her throat to let him know that she was there, but he just walked past her to the kitchen, with the pan. She stood in the doorway watching him stir the packets into the warm cups. "Thanks, Luke." "Yea. Well I'm going to go crash in Nathan's room so feel free to go back to my room," he said as he tried to hand her a cup of hot coco. She blocked the doorway so that he couldn't leave. He placed both mugs on the counter and threw his hands up in the air. "What now Brooke?" She could see he was highly irritated.

"I'm sorry, Luke."

"Aren't we all. Now if you don't mind I would like to go crash now" he said as he tried to walk around her. Brooke moved for only a second before she grabbed him arm and forced him to look at her.
