A/N: It's because I love you guys so much...here's another chapter...I really should have been reading Eco, but instead I put that off to write one ore chapter for you. There's sort of a lot in it, but I think it was worth it! Yes the Lana in my story is from Smallville and we will get a lot of flashbacks from Lucas with her in it! Also Lucas I initially just had Lucas have one secret...but now he has two...so he has secrets he's keeping from Brooke...but they will come out!

Replies to feedback:

Lanae96: So you got your wish in this chapter ;). And trust me Lucas will eventually tell Brooke how he feels about her, but that will be several chapters away.

XHush-HushX: you were right Lana from Smallville, one of my least favorite characters even more hate for her than Peyton. Let's just say what she did didn't hurt his male ego. You will get to see a lot more into Lucas's head!

BrucasEqlsluv:Yes Brooke and Rachel fought but they got over it...that's what I love about them or writing about them! I don't think that Haley was necessarily putting any blame on Brooke but the fact she thought it wasn't fair to berate Lucas continually and not get a little upset with Brooke too (or maybe that is the same thing). I mean we all know what kind of flirt Brooke is! lol. Yeah Lucas definitely caved and broke a cardinal rule and made the moves on his best friend! Sleeze...I'm glad you love this story! YAY

dianehermans: thank you so much! Lana isn't his doctor...but that's all I'll say about that! ;)

OTHCharmfan: lashbacks are always fun for me to write and especially with this story there are endless possibilities for this story and trust me there will be tons of those especially in chapter 3! There will be more of Rachel too!

craxygirl54: Luke's secret is a good one it's kind of a two-parter secret! dun dun dun...

pam:the secret is good and it's a two-part secret...I think I will bring Clay in this story maybe in the next chapter or a later chapter. I like the idea of having Clay and Lucas have like a macho man who's badder or tougher thing. Brooke is learning to control her anger around others when it comes to Lucas...or at least I feel like she will...I'm glad you agree with Lana being a bitch! Hoorah! This chapter has lots of boys and jealous Lucas is in true form!

ImAnon:Yes this story is partially based on my personal experiences and I am writing my ex in true form through Lucas. Brooke has a little bit of me in her as well, but I am trying to keep Brooke, Brooke. lol. There are several sides to Lucas and they will all come out especially in this chapter!


Chapter 3: Fun in the Sun

You say that I'm messing with you head

All 'cause I was making out with your friend

Love hurts whether it's right or wrong

I can't stop cause I'm having too much fun

All my life I've been good but now I'm thinking what the hell?

-"What The Hell"-Avril Lavigne

His hand runs up my thigh and I can't help the shiver that courses throughout my entire body. His touch, his warmth, the roughness of his fingertips makes my soft skin tingle in every way possible.

I reach behind me and run my fingers through his rough hair and I yank harder to force his mouth to attack my neck. His arms wrap around me from behind pulling me close to his chest. His right hand quickly attaches to one of my breasts as the other finds its way into my panties. God, I love this man. I love everything about him.

His fingers begin to work its magic on my sensitive clit. I lean back against his shoulder and I pull his lips to mine. I let my entire mouth devour him. His sweet, salty tongue licked and played with every inch inside of my mouth and I found my eyes rolling in the back of head. His grip on me tightens and he lets two fingers slip inside of me easily and I moan in his mouth. His hard dick digs into my backside. I turned in his arms so my front side was facing his. I let my hands roam all over his body.

"Hmmm…Lucas." I turned over and I was now on top of him. He released his fingers from me and his tongue dived deeper into my mouth.

"Fuck Lucas, don't stop."

"Open your eyes pretty girl."

I opened my eyes and something felt weird…his hands reached up under my shirt and he dragged his fingers up and down my back and his mouth...that fucking mouth I thought I would long forget about was attached to my neck and it made its way up to my lips and for a moment I wasn't sure if this was still a dream or not.

Then I became aware of the fact that…yep…this was no longer a dream as his masculine hands…hands that I love so much reached down and squeezed my ass roughly bringing me closer to him as I straddled his waist.

He grinned against my lips and I began to look around us. He was fully clothed, I was half naked, and he was in my bed.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I screamed as I quickly jumped away from him pulling the covers over me as much as I could to cover every inch of myself.

He turned on his side and placed his hand on stomach. I wanted to get out of the bed but I had nothing I could wrap around me beside the sheet he was still sitting upon.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" I demanded of him.

"Well I knocked several times, but you didn't answer. So I walked through your bathroom door to find you in what looked like a really, really sexy wet dream." His hand started moving up and down my covered stomach and I smacked his hand away.

"And!"

"You called out my name. Twice...and told me to not stop." He smirked and placed his hand back on my stomach and I froze.

"And that gives you the right to take advantage of me like that?" I was livid.

"Brooke, you had your hand down your pants…and you think I am not going to join in on that? Besides I could have turned your dream into reality." He looked up at him and I went to gouge his eyes out.

"AGH! Okay okay!" He shooed my hands away and sat upright on the bed.

"Damn! I brought you breakfast." He pointed over to the tray on my nightstand that had the latest fashion magazine, eggs, bacon, and a cup of coffee. He got up off the bed.

"It felt good to have you on my lips again." He ran his fingers over his lips as he smiled.

"Thanks for a good morning, Brooke." He winked, walked out my bedroom door this time and closed it behind him.

I leaned back down in my bed pulling the sheet over my face and I let out a small squeal. I didn't realize how much I had missed everything about him. His body, his touch, those hands…and that mouth…that sexy mouth that did things that I thought were never possible. I needed to get a padlock to my bathroom door so he couldn't sneak into my room. I pulled the sheet back and looked over at the breakfast tray he brought in.

I reached for the magazine and sure enough it was the newest issue of Vogue that I have yet to read. I grinned at the fact that he has remembered the simplest things about me. Surprisingly the breakfast was still warm and I immediately reached for the cup of coffee. He made it just the way I liked it. Damn him for still remembering those little things. I closed my eyes to remember the moment he asked me.

"Since when do you drink coffee?" I asked him as he reached for a cup and poured him a large amount of black coffee.

"Since Rachel keeps me up all fucking night." He reached his hand behind his neck and I cringed.

"Please…I do not want any details of you and Little Red Riding Slut."

He laughed and looked up at me.

"I like that. I may just have to use it in our next—"

"Lucas Scott shut your damn mouth! It would figure you would mess around with my sworn enemy." I sat the Vogue magazine I had in my hand down and he made his way over to sit next to me at the kitchen bar.

Lucas had a key to my place…obviously just like my other three friends did. My parents had allowed me to stay in our house by myself if I abided by the rules of Karen Roe and Lydia James. The two women who I considered more of mothers than my own would stop by occasionally unannounced to check up on me. I loved them more every single time they did proving to me that there is such a thing as motherly love. He somehow managed to sneak into my house during the middle of the night and I found him face down on my couch.

"It's just sex, pretty girl, nothing more or less."

"And you're okay with that?" I realized that, that was probably the stupidest question I ever asked him as he pulled his lips away from the coffee to give me that look…that look that said you're kidding right.

"That was stupid of me. Of course you are okay with that."

"Well just know you are always my number one girl." He ran his hand roughly through my hair and I swatted him away.

No, if I was your number one girl Lucas Scott, it would be me in your bed, not her.

"Whatever, we're going to be late for school. You driving?" I asked him as I hopped off my bar stool.

"Sure. Wait how do you take your coffee?" He asked me and I furrowed my brow.

"Well…I am taking a liking to coffee…so for future coffee runs…how do you take yours?"

I smiled and shook my head.

"Two creams."

I finished the food he brought me which was always delicious and I took my coffee in my hand and made my way down the stairs. It was Lazy Sunday…we all called it. Sure enough, Nathan was sitting on the couch with Haley's legs across his lap as he clumsily ran his hand up and down her legs. Lucas sat opposite them in an arm chair and had a cup of coffee as well. They were all laughing at something Lucas said and I walked over and made Nathan scoot over a little as I was not going to sit anywhere near Lucas after what happened this morning. Haley's feet rested in my lap and I tickled one of them.

"Did Rachel cool down when you took her home last night?" I asked feeling Lucas's eyes bore into me.

"Yes…she just drank too much which normally means bitchy Rachel comes out. She tried to kiss Nathan." Haley spat out.

"She just couldn't stand not ever getting with the other Scott." Lucas winked at Haley as she rolled her eyes.

"Trust me there were some times she tried really hard." Nathan said and Haley leaned up and smacked lightly on the arm.

"Hales, come on it was before you and I started dating!" He said nursing his arm.

"So what's the plan today?" Lucas asked.

"Well its Sunday which usually means we don't really do anything but lie around and be lazy." Nathan said still rubbing his hand up and down Haley's legs.

"Oh come on guys! I've never been here, the least you can do is show me around or something. Please?"

Nathan, Haley and I exchanged a look. If there was a possible way for me to ignore Lucas today, it would make me very happy. I am still trying to get over what happened this morning in my bed.

"We could go to the beach." Haley offered.

Damn it. The beach was one of my weaknesses…BUT could totally be at my advantage as well. Hot half naked boys. Yes!

"That's a fantastic idea!" I chimed in finishing off the rest of my coffee.

"It's settled." Lucas said and winked at me. I gave him a disgusted face like a school girl would if a boy tried to give her cooties.

We decided to give everyone an hour to get ready. Which meant that Haley and Nathan wanted to get fool around before we headed to a public place which might I add never stopped them before but with Lucas here it was a little different now.

I walked over to my chest of drawers and opened the top left one to reveal piles and piles of bikinis. I knew exactly which one I wanted to wear to drive Lucas wild. I reached for the plum colored two-piece. The bottoms barely covered anything and I was just glad that I maintained little Brooke because if not there was no possible way I could wear it. The top was strapless and in the center of my breasts the material twisted leaving pretty nothing to the imagination and covering what needed to be covered…barely. Lucky for me this fashionable two hundred dollar bathing suit was made to hug the body and keep everything in secure.

I grinned at myself as I locked my bedroom door and barricaded my bathroom door with a chair. I quickly undressed and put the barely there bathing suit on. I French braided my hair into two small pigtails. This would definitely drive him crazy. I grabbed my cover and placed my feet into a pair of beach sandals. I grabbed my towel and tanning oil and walked out of my bedroom to be met with the body of a Greek God. Lucas had on a pair of dark blue swim trunks that only enhanced his baby blue eyes. His hair was ruffled around his face and he had on his aviators. I could feel his eyes on me and his lips were parted barely. I could feel his wink behind the lenses of his glasses. Lucky for him I was going to make him wait until we were at the beach for him to get an eyeful of Brooke Davis in her finest.

I walked straight past him downstairs to find Nathan and Haley flirting at the kitchen table. I rolled my eyes and Nathan had already packed the cooler full of the essentials…chocolate, beer, and snacks.

"Let's go! I haven't seen the beach in months." Lucas smacked his towel on me and I punched him in his bare chest.

He smiled and Haley snapped in mom mode again. We locked up and headed to Nathan's black Jeep. The boys took the doors and top off as the weather was perfect for driving the Jeep naked. I grabbed Haley's hand and made her sit in the backseat with me. She laughed at me because she knew I was trying to distance myself from Lucas.

We drove for about fifteen minutes until we made it to the beach and I let out of huge sigh of relief as there were several hot bodies to use to make Lucas jealous. We all carried what we needed and headed to "our spot".

Lucas placed his towel down first, then I laid mine next to his, Haley was on my other side, and Nathan camped out next to her. If I was going to use other guys to make Lucas jealous we shouldn't have set up our arrangement the way we did. Haley and I were sandwiched in between the two guys and it made us look like we were taken…or at least me anyways and I'm not!

I rested on my knees and it was show time. I reached for the hem of my cover up and pulled it slowly up and over my body. I immediately heard the low growl in Lucas's throat and I smirked to myself.

"Damn Brooke!" I heard Nathan choke out.

"Brooke you may as well came to the beach naked." Haley said.

I didn't hear anything from Lucas and I was almost upset by that. So I just ignored it and went about my business. I started applying my tanning lotion and of course couldn't reach my back.

"Lucas would you mind?" I asked him.

I turned to face him as he held his book over his crotch. I knew it! He was pretty much sporting a hard on for me. He laid the book over his dick and reached for the lotion.

"With pleasure." He said his voice an octave lower.

I lay on my stomach and he straddled me with his slightly hard dick digging into my butt as his hands worked my back. He took his time and I couldn't lie when I say I didn't enjoy every moment of it. His fingers slid up under my bathing suit to cover the flesh the fabric hid. As his hands glided down my sides to make sure he got every inch as possible, his hands grazed the sides of my boobs slowly.

"Lucas, that's enough!" Haley piped in and I immediately came back to reality.

"What! She asked me to do her back."

"Yes her back! Not her side boob."

I quickly started to wiggle underneath him and he removed himself. I smiled at him and began to sunbathe. I figured I would wait to get a rise out of Lucas; there was no need to rush anything as we would be out here for hours. Lucas went back to reading his book and I let the sun bathe my skin as Haley and Nathan carried on a conversation about doing a date night.

"Hmm…I think I'm going to jump in the ocean. Any takers?" I asked as I stood up and stretched.

"I'll join ya." Lucas placed his book down on his towel and stretched as well. He reached his hand down for me to take and pulled me up.

"Lucas, keep your hands to yourself." Haley pointed sternly.

"Yes mom." He said.

We started to walk away but Haley spoke up again.

"Oh and play nice!"

"We got it mother!" I hollered back.

Fun time. I dove into the water and as I emerged I made sure I resurfaced from the water slowly and sensually. I ran my hands through my hair and down my body. When I opened my eyes Lucas was wading ankles deep and staring at me like I've never seen before.

"You do realize that you are playing a dangerous game." He said as he walked slowly towards me.

"I'm not playing any games Lucas…that's what you do." I had to keep my cool and under any circumstances could not let him realize that indeed I was playing a game.

"Then why are you constantly teasing me."

"It's not teasing, Lucas. I love my body and I'll show it off if I want to." I said. That wasn't very clever but I didn't know what else to say.

He got closer to me.

"I can see that." He was so close that his breath hit my face.

I went to walk past him but his arms wrapped around my waist and tossed me into the water.

"Damn it, Luke! I'll tell mom on you!"

"Oh don't be such a baby." He splashed water at me and I splashed back.

"Don't do—" I got a mouthful of water and that was it. I swam under water to his feet and yanked as hard as I could and pulled him out from under his feet.

I hurried out of the water and looking behind me to make sure he was still in the water I bumped into what felt like a brick wall.

"Whoa. I am sorry." I said as I looked up to see a good-looking guy.

"Don't worry about it. I love it when a sexy lady bumps into me." His eyes began to wander over my body and I grinned at him. Perfect timing.

"If you'd like…we're about to play a game of volleyball."

I was about to speak but Lucas cut me off.

"Sounds like fun…isn't that right babe?" He had his hand on the small of my back and his mouth near my ear.

"Oh sorry didn't realize you were taken."

I went to speak but Lucas cut me off…again.

"So how about that game?" Lucas said.

"Yo Nathan! Beach volleyball you in? Hales?"

Damn him! I pushed away from Lucas and wrapped my arm around the guy's in front of me.

"So what's your name?" I asked him.

"Caleb. And you?" He asked never taking his eyes off of me.

"Brooke. Don't worry about Lucas…just a little overprotective." I said and I could feel Lucas catching up with us and I heard Nathan and Haley following close by.

Caleb began to introduce us to everyone and I introduced the four of us to his group of friends. I mentioned Lucas last and I have never seen him act the way he was now. His jaw was constantly clinched and his eyes were cold. I smiled to myself when he wasn't looking.

With me, Nathan, Haley, and Lucas, it made nine of us total which meant someone had to sit out. Haley said she would sit out as she would rather watch her man play. So I insisted that I be on the opposing team as Nathan and Lucas as it would be more interesting. Lucas had pulled Nathan to the side and said something to him and Nathan looked right at me and smirked. What the hell did Lucas say to him?

"So you going to watch my back during the game?" I winked at Caleb and he winked back.

"Of course, darling."

Lucas was up to serve first and he went to serve the ball and drilled it straight to Caleb. Caleb was quick, fast and immediately hit the ball back over the net. Nathan came in for a spike and the other guy to my left went in for the hit and spiked it back over and we got the point. I jumped and squealed as I held my hand up to Michael, the guy who got us the first point of the game.

"Alright gorgeous, how about you take the first serve?" Caleb tossed me the ball and if looks could kill right now…Caleb would be dead as Lucas was trying to bore holes into his head.

"I am not that good at serving so what's my best approach at doing this?"

Lucas was eating it up. Caleb walked behind me and showed me using his hands and arms to demonstrate with mine the best way to serve the ball.

"Okay…so overhanded is the easiest way?" I asked him turning to look at him. He nodded.

"Just go for it." He said and walked back to his spot up front.

I tossed the ball up gently and hit it as hard as I could. It barely went over the net. Nathan set the ball up for a spoke. Lucas went for it and spiked it hard in front of Caleb hitting him square in the face.

"LUCAS!" I screamed and ran over to Caleb.

Caleb was down on the ground holding his hand against his nose. It was bleeding a little bit and Caleb's friends began to walk towards Nathan and Lucas.

"Wait! Stop!" I shouted. It was like a power I possessed because all the men stopped and turned to look at me.

"Get your friend taken care of. I'll deal with him!" I said fiercely.

They finally let up and went to assist Caleb. I stormed over to Lucas and Nathan went to join Haley.

"What the hell was that about?" I pushed him back forcefully and it barely did anything to him.

"It was an accident."

"Bull shit!" I stammered.

"Brooke that jerk had his hands all over you and you just let him do it!"

I honestly didn't think he would actually admit to saying he did it on purpose but my plan was obviously working but I didn't want anyone getting hurt because of it.

"Maybe I liked having his hands all over me. Now I want you to go and apologize…now!" I demanded.

Lucas hesitated but I knew him better than he thought. He began to walk over to the group of guys and I followed close behind. Caleb just glared at him and Lucas shook his head.

"I am sorry. I really didn't think it would hit you in the face." Lucas was actually being very gentlemanly about it.

"It's a game. Sometimes shit happens." Caleb said and I was impressed.

You don't meet many guys like him these days. Lucas held out his hand and Caleb shook it. Lucas helped Caleb to his feet.

"Alright come on. The game isn't over." Caleb patted Lucas on the back and winked at me.

I was getting more impressed by this stranger.

"Are you sure?" I asked him.

"Definitely darling."

Nathan pulled Lucas back on their side of the net. We played a little longer and Lucas and Nathan's team ended up winning by two points. Lucas still didn't enjoy the fact that Caleb and I were flirting and I also didn't plan on actually taking a likening to this guy either.

"So I see that it worked."

I turned around to face Caleb.

"Excuse me?"

"I mean did I not help you succeed in pissing off your boyfriend." He whispered. I looked over at Lucas who still had his eyes on me.

"I'm sorry." I said and turned to face him.

"It's okay, just as long as I can get your number."

I really didn't know what to do. I mean yes, this guy totally surprised me and ended up being totally different than most guys I meet but was I ready to date again?

"Um how about you give me your number?" I asked him knowing very well what that line meant.

"So you won't call me?" He asked laughing a little bit.

"It's not that…it's just I just got out of a rough relationship and Lucas over there is an old ex I just wanted to make jealous. Seriously, give me your number and we'll see." It was as honest as I could get with him.

He nodded, reached in his bag and pulled out a pen. He held my hand out and wrote his number down. He blew softly over the ink.

"Just in case, I guess. Nice meeting you Brooke." He walked away and I went to meet up with Haley.

"Wow, Davis, you work fast." Haley said.

"It's not like that."

"Oh so you weren't doing everything you've been doing today to get a rise out of Lucas? Brooke you overdid it a little bit."

I knew she was right but after awhile it just wasn't me. Caleb obviously knew what I was doing and only made it worse, but if Haley knew what I was doing then Lucas knew he was right all along.

"He gave me his number."

"Yeah, I can tell. Are you going to call him?" She asked me.

"I don't know. I briefly told him about Chase and Lucas. He was still willing to give me his number." I held my hand out to not smudge the number or anything like he said…just in case.

"Yeah and what about Lucas?" Haley asked as we got closer to the boys.

"I'm just trying to one up him on his game he's playing." I said bitterly.

"Brooke I love you both so much and I know that what happened around graduation sucked, but don't hurt him. And trust me I am going to do whatever it takes to keep him from hurting you too."

I never heard Haley defend him like this and I was beginning to think that not only did Nathan know Lucas's secret but Haley did too. She kept walking and jumped into Nathan's arms. I stood back and watched Lucas. He sat back in his place on his towel and went back to reading his book. I finally looked over at the title of the book he was reading: Jack London's The Call of the Wild.

"What are you reading?" I asked him as I sat next to him on my couch.

He has been staying here for the past few days.

"Jack London's The Call of the Wild."

"What's it about?" I looked over his shoulder to capture a few lines from the book.

He shrugged and his face hardened.

"It's about a dog."

"A dog? That doesn't even sound like something you would read." I laughed as it sounded absurd that someone like him who loves Steinbeck, Faulkner and Shakespeare to read a book about a dog.

He scoffed and I knew I had upset him.

"Seriously. What is it about this dog?"

"His name is Buck. He was taken out of his comfort zone and thrown into a brutal life as a sled dog. He struggles to fit in and receives harsh treatment from humans as well as other dogs. He's an outcast and he does whatever it takes to survive." He turned the page and I began to understand why he liked this book.

Lucas always felt like he was an outsider even though he had an amazing group of friends, a mother who loved him more than anything and a brother who didn't inherit his hate and scorn from their father. Lucas and Nathan would spend time together without Dan's knowledge and how Dan never found out was a shock to us all…or maybe he did know…

"It sounds like a really great book."

A few days ago Dan and Deb Scott died in a car accident leaving Nathan an orphan. Surprisingly enough when Dan's last will was read, Lucas's mother, Karen was granted guardianship of Nathan. None of this made any sense to any of us especially Karen. Karen and Dan never really talked but she was close to Deb. Maybe that's where that came from? Dan didn't want to be a part of Lucas's life, but yet in the will he placed Karen as Nathan's guardian and left over half of his money to Nathan and Lucas and even left a huge sum to Karen as well. Here we were at sixteen and Lucas had never secluded himself like he has been in my house for the past few days. Dan had left Lucas a letter in the will and Lucas still hasn't read it. I was almost tempted to snatch it from his backpack and read it myself. I promised Karen that Lucas was doing fine as he asked to be left alone. Nathan had stopped by a few times, but Lucas didn't want to see him. He felt that Nathan knew about this all along, but Nathan was just as surprised as Lucas had been.

"Maybe when you've finished reading it, I could read it?" I asked him as I wrapped my arms around my legs.

"Yeah, I think you would like it." He said never taking his eyes off the book.

"Do you mind if I sit here for awhile?"

Even with Lucas in the house with me, it still felt so empty and cold. He nodded and for the first time since he had been staying here, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and brought me into his side. I buried my head into his chest.

"Thanks." He whispered.

"For what?" I asked in his chest.

"For letting me stay here and for not pressuring me to go back home or to read that damn letter."

I nodded. He began to read the novel aloud and as he did I found myself being comforted by his voice and the words escaping from his mouth that I drifted off into one of the most comfortable slumbers.

God did I miss moments like that with Lucas. He never told me what was in that letter from Dan and I tried many times to get him to tell me but he never did. Something was wrong. I could feel it. He wouldn't be reading that book if something wasn't bothering him. I walked back over and took my spot next to Lucas. I saw him tense up and I ran my hands over the old worn cover of the book.

"You know I have a copy of that book in my room." I said quietly.

"Oh you're talking to me now." He snapped at me.

I deserved that…I guess.

"Lucas, please tell me what you expected from your stay here with me?" I turned to face him.

"You know what…I think Haley and I are going to take a walk." Nathan and Haley stood up and began to walk down the beach.

I let out a frustrated sigh and turned back to Lucas.

"Honestly Luke…did you think things would go back to the way they were before we slept together?" I almost wanted to cry because he has been frustrating me since he came here yesterday.

"In some ways yes. Damn it, Brooke, I am sorry for what happened and believe me if I could take it back I would. I never wanted to destroy our friendship, but I did. I'd like to think we are different people now or whatever but can we at least work on rebuilding or something?" He closed the book and turned to face me.

I wasn't going to cave but I found myself wanting to give in.

"Maybe." I said biting my lower lip and his eyes immediately went to my mouth.

"I'll take a maybe." He said as he smiled and went back to reading his book.

"Lucas what did Dan's letter say?" I didn't look at him and hoped that he would tell me. Tell me everything but predictable Lucas he threw up his walls.

"Nothing."

I sighed angrily and turned on my stomach and unhooked the back of my bathing suit to tan my backside. I turned my head away from him as I could see Nathan and Haley in the distance. I wanted what they had. I wanted that love, that passion, that fire that never altered between them. They were the real vision of true love and I desperately wanted that with Lucas, but I don't ever see that happening for me…us.

It was getting late and I had to admit I got a lot of sun today which made me happy. I had put Caleb's number in my phone and when we got back to the house and I was so exhausted. Who knew that lying around pretty much all day in the sun would be tiring? It was nearly time for the sun to set and Nathan and Haley already stated that they were going to bed early. I was still downstairs putting away everything we didn't use at the beach. I drained the water from the cooler and proceeded upstairs. I stopped as I heard Lucas in his bedroom.

I stood outside his door and listened.

"I don't care what you think! You knew what I wanted!...Oh so you thought you would save me the heartache and the burden? Please…no one was supposed to know anything about that and then you drop news like that on me and then take it away? Lana, for the last time, I don't ever want to speak to you again!" He paused for a moment.

"No I never loved you but that never gave you the right to do what you did! Well I guess I will just do that. Don't ever call me again!"

He slung his phone against the wall and it made me jump. I heard him walking closer to the door and I did my best to quietly hurry into my bedroom. Once I did, I let out a sigh of relief only to have him come through my bathroom door.

I screamed and he stood there with his arms crossed.

"What did you hear?" He asked me.

"Nothing." I really didn't. All I heard was him yelling at a girl he didn't love.

"You're lying." He walked closer to me.

"Lucas all I heard you say was that you didn't love whoever you were talking to on the phone. I promise."

He had backed me into a corner and if I needed too I would react instinctively. I saw the look on his face, the same look he got when he found out his uncle Keith died.

"Lucas." I said softly scared for him.

"Goodnight Brooke." He said coldly.

He walked away from me and I heard him slam his bathroom door shut. I sunk down to the ground and tears started to form in my eyes.


WHEW! Okay a lot just happened...what are your thoughts? Up next we meet Clay...Haley talks to Lucas about Lana.

Stay tuned!
