Chapter 7: Anna Tagarro

Lucas still was at Jensen's. His sister, Lily was standing next to his friend. They didn't say a word, actually they could barely look at Lucas right now.

"I'm waiting for an answer!" said Lucas getting more and more impatient. Jensen finally decided to break the silence. "Luke…man, this isn't what you think it is…"

"Then tell me what's going on here ?" Lucas was now looking at his sister. "What are you doing here Lily ?"

Lucas and Lily have always had a special relationship. They never lied to each other. This didn't mean that they didn't have secrets but when one of them asked the truth, they didn't lie…never. But she wasn't sure she should tell him the truth right now. It would only create troubles between them, but also between Lucas and Jensen. They've been friends forever, she didn't want to be the reason why their longtime friendship was brought to an end. So, she lied…for the first time in her life she lied to her brother.

"I…I was actually looking for you! I went at your place but you weren't there so I came here. And I was just about to leave because Jensen told me you weren't here. So, see you big bro'…Jensen" She then quickly grabbed her stuff and left the apartment.

Lucas wasn't really convinced by his sister explanations but, thinking of Jensen and his sister as couple was even more ridiculous. As for Jensen, he was relieved. He knew Lucas very well and he also knew that if he discovered what he has been doing with his sister for the last few months he would kill him…literally.

"Want to drink something ?" asked Jensen trying desperately to ease the atmosphere.

"No I'm good but can I have some ice for my eye" said Lucas pointing his finger to his injured eye.

"Wow man, what the hell happened to you ?"

"Nate happened. Remember when you told me to fix things with him, well it ended up with a fight".

"Oh shit…" replied Jensen, leaving the room to get some ice. "Here you go man"

"Thanks" Lucas took the bag and put it carefully on his eye. "And now, Brooke doesn't even want to talk to me."

"That sucks"said Jensen, but then he got an idea, a brillant idea. "But I'm sure we can fix that… Are you a good actor ?"

"What the hell are you doing here Nathan ? I thought I was clear when I said I didn't want to talk to you anymore" obviously still mad.

"You were, that's why I'll be the only one doing the talking part"

"Well I don't want to listen to you either!"

"Brookie…please…"

She hated it when he did that. When he called her Brookie and then begged her to do something, she could never say no, he was way to cute.

"Fine…but I'm counting the minutes". Nathan flashed a victorious smile while entering the house.

"Stop smiling like this, it's annoying". Brooke closed the door behind her and followed her friend in the living room. " I'm all hears…"

"You do know I don't like Lucas Scott…"

"Oh, believe me I do! You even show it few hours ago when you got into a fight with him and hurt me!"

"And again, I'm sorry for that but if you could just let me finish…"

"Sorry, go ahead" replied Brooke trying to stay calm.

Nathan took a deep breath and pursued his explanations. « But you don't know why I hate him so much. And I think it's time for you to know".

It all started with his friend, Anna. Brooke didn't know her but she seems to be the perfect girl. Beautiful, nice, successful; she was actually wondering why she hadn't met her yet. Anna Tagarro was an aspiring author, who had everything to succeed until she met Lucas Scott. Anna fell for Lucas the first time they met. At first, she was attracted by his confidence and famous sex appeal. And this attraction slowly turned into love. A love Lucas didn't share for her because he cheated on her, couple of times actually. They never were official, but Anna always thought their relationship was really, so when the magazines revealed Lucas adultery she didn't believe it at first. And when she confronted Lucas to all those rumors, he didn't deny them because for him their relation was just about "sex". Lucas didn't have any regrets even though he destroyed that woman life. She slowly turned herself to alcohol and when it wasn't enough she did drugs until it ended her.

Brooke listened carefully to her friend history. It was obviously painful for him to talk about this, he had never been able to talk about this until today.

"I...I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry"

"This isn't your fault Brooke… "

"I know but I feel guilty for not listening to you when you warn me about Lucas. I acted like a complete idiot and the worst best friend ever"

"Yes, you did..."

"Yeah and I…Wait you are not suppose to make me feel guilty!"

"Why not ? For the first time in your life you admitted you were guilty, let me at least enjoy it !"

"Screw you Lee!" replied Brooke hitting him sofetly.

"Look who's being violent now ? Come here! " Nathan lift her and started to run all around the house with Brooke in his arms.

They were teenagers all over again…To be honest, they always acted like kids when they were around each other. But it was different those last few weeks, because of Lucas and the weird relationship she was having with him. She should have listen to Nathan from the beginning, she should have trusted him when he told her Lucas was a bad guy because he really was.

Haley was still in state of shock after what Brooke told her. She didn't even manage to sleep all night. She kept thinking of what she told her and what it meant. Nathan wanted to be with Brooke, and even though it was hard, she had to accept it because that's what friends do, they accept their friends decision even if they don't agree with them.

When she arrived at her house, the living room looked like a battlefield. Some clothes and some furnitures were lying on the floor.

Haley was wondering what happened while she was away until she saw Nathan sleeping half naked on the couch and Brooke coming out of the shower with a huge smile.

It was too much, way too much right now. Haley barely accepted the idea that her best friend and the guy she's been in love with forever were together. But now, she had to walk on them half naked after they did God knows what all night.

"Haley, finally you're home! You left so quickly yesterday that…" The brunette stopped in her track when she noticed her friends tears. "Haley, are you ok ?"

"Yeah, I'm…I'm fine" she had to pretend. That's what a good friends will do right ?

"You don't look fine…you're crying! Come here" Brooke hugged Haley and took her to her room. "I'm your best friend, you know you can tell me everything Hales"

That was true. Brooke was her best friend, and she was suppose to tell her everything. But how can you tell your best friend that you're in love with her boyfriend ?

"I'm fine…I swear" Brooke wasn't convinced at all, but she needed to wait for her to be ready. She would tell her eventually. "So, Nate spent the night here ?"

"He did. And despite acting like kids all night we've got some time to talk about Lucas".

"So I guess he told you uh ?"

Why did she ask ? She wasn't ready to hear that not today and not ever!

"Wait…Nate told you about Anna ?" Anna, who the hell was Anna ? Now she was lost.

"Apparently…no. That's ok I'm going to do a quick resume. Few years ago, Lucas dated one of Nathan's friend, Anna. She was in love with him but he wasn't, so he cheated on her. And when she discovered everything she became an alcoholic and a drug addict".

"That's what Nathan told you ?"

"Yeah. That's why he hate Lucas so much, because of what he did to his friend and to be honest I totally understand him. I don't know how someone could hurt a person like this without feeling any remorse!"

"Yeah that's…that's horrible". It was horrible but Haley couldn't help smiling. She couldn't stop smiling because she was wrong for everything, for Nathan being in love with Brooke and dating her. Which meant that she still had her chances. Her chances to tell Nathan how she felt and probably be with him.

To celebrate their reconciliation, the tree friends decided to do one of their "movie night".

"This is so unfair, why can't we always watch the movies that I want instead of some stupid horror movies ?" asked Brooke pouting.

"First of all, horror movies are not stupid!" started Haley. "And second of all I don't want to watch Enchanted again ! "

"Enchanted is a great movie ! Patrick Dempsey is hot ! " replied Brooke

"Yes he is ! " agreed Haley

"Hey, whose side on you !" argued Nathan.

At the same time, someone knocked at the door. Brooke decided to open it, while her two friends were debating on which horror movie they should watch tonight.

"Lucas ? What are you doing here ?" asked Brooke clearly not expecting to see the blond.

The young man was standing in front of the door with a little smirk on his face.

"Hello, Brooke"

But Brooke didn't say a word. She was in state of shock and didn't really know if she wanted to talk to him after what Nathan told her.

"Do I get a silence treatment because of a bad behavior ? " Lucas tried to tease her, to ease the atmosphere a little, but it didn't work.

"You shouldn't be here" said Brooke coldly.

"I know but I needed to talk to you. I owe you an explanation after what happened earlier"

"I already had an explanation. You need to leave, now!" Brooke was about to close the door but Lucas stopped her.

"Just hear me out, and if you want me to leave I will, but please…hear me out"

How did all the guy manage to do that. To look that cute and vulnerable when they beg a girl to listen to them. Nobody could resist that, especially not Brooke.

"Ok, you have five minutes" said Brooke getting out and closing the door behind her.

"I can't come in ?"

"Nate's inside so I don't think it's a good idea"

"Yeah, you're probably right. I got you flowers" said Lucas handing her a beautiful bouquet of red roses.

Once again, Lucas decided to follow Jensen advice. He was about to play the "I'm sorry, this is all my fault" card. Girls used to fall for it all the time. But Brooke wasn't like every girl, she was actually very different from them and he knew that if he screwed up he would lost all his chance to be with her, and as a matter of fact, to stay captain of the team. Because let's not forget why he did this in the first place, he wants to stay captain of his basketball team.

"Listen, I know I acted like a complete jerk last time you saw me, so I wanted to apologize. I've never meant to hurt you or Nathan and for that I'm really sorry. But if you gave me an other chance, you would see that I'm not such a bad guy. And that I actually…care for you".
