Hey guys! How are you doing ? Next chapter's here, ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just this story

"Listen, I know I acted like a complete jerk last time we saw each other 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 another chance, you would see that I'm not such a bad guy. And that I actually…care for you".

Brooke was litteraly speechless. She had never expected him to say such beautiful things to her, not especially after all she heard about him . He seemed so sincere, so honest he was literally begging her to be with her, and she would have probably fall for that if she didn't know about Anna.

"I'm sorry but...I can't"

"What ?" Lucas was clearly surprise. It didn't work. After all the effort he put to learn this speech and find the right words, the words every woman would like to hear coming from him. But what he didn't know is that Brooke had other things in mind, like Nathan's reaction if he discovered that she had forgiven him. And there was her heart. She didn't want to get hurt.

"I really like you, but I don't want a man like you in my life. I'm looking for a serious relationship and I'm not sure you're ready for that"

Brooke didn't really know Lucas, but after all the thing she heard about him, she knew that he wasn't the type of guy who wanted to settle down and have a family. And even if Brooke was just 25, she was looking for something serious. She knew it would take some time, and she would probably have to get through a lot of things before having all this, but that's what she wanted the most.

"But I'm also looking for a serious relationship". Lucas needed to be convincing. A lot of things where in the balance, he had to convince her. It was the only way he had to fix everything.

"That's not what the magazines say, or what I could deduce from you relationship with Anna".

Lucas froze instantly. How did she knew about Anna ? Nathan, he probably told her. He wasn't expecting this from him, especially since the guy refused to talk about her for months after it all happened. But maybe he didn't tell her everything.

"The thing with Anna happened a long time ago…"

"Oh because, few months is a long time ago for you ?"

Ok, so apparently he told her everything. This was bad, really bad.

"Ok, you're right it's kind of recent. But it was a mistake, a mistake I've already forgotten and so you should probably do the same".

"Are you kidding me! What you did to her was awful! You destroyed her life, and you think I should just forget about it. What is wrong with you ?"

"Brooke, I…"

"No! I've always thought that despite what everybody said about you, you were a nice guy. But I was wrong". Brooke was clearly disappointed but after what he said to her, she just had one thing to do. "I'm done with you". Get him out of her life.

Another day was starting in Los Angeles, and since Lily wasn't the type of girl who changed her habit easily, she decided to wake her brother like she always do. But, unfortunately this time, her brother was already awake.

"Oh this is so not fair! I was looking forward to test the new way I found to wake you up!" said Lily, teasing her brother. But unfortunately, he didn't really get the joke.

"Sorry, I'll do an effort next time". He wasn't looking good and Lily noticed it right away.

"Are you ok, Luke ?" she asked clearly worried for her big brother.

"Yeah, I'm fine" He tried to lie, but it didn't work. Lucas has always been good to lie to women, but never to his sister, or his mother.

"You don't look good Lucas. You look depressed. Does it have something to do with you having roses all over your room?" Indeed, Lucas room was covered with red roses, the color for passion said the florist but Brooke didn't get to see all that. "What, you last conquest didn't like it ?"

"I didn't have sex with anyone yesterday". Well that was a first.

"Not according to the magazines. You were spotted with few girls in a bar last night. Apparently you're still looking for the one. And here I thought you find her".

"I just stayed few minutes, Jensen was the one who had fun with those girls".

"Jensen ?" Lily couldn't hide her surprise.

"Why are you so surprise, we both know Jensen has sex with every girls he met. You and mom must probably be the only one he didn't have sex with".

"No just mom…" said Lily more to herself. She was upset, and hurt. After all they did together, she cared for him and she has always thought that it was the same for him but apparently she was wrong. But she had to be strong. Lucas couldn't know about their relationship. Even if she wasn't sure whether there still was a relationship between her and Jensen or not. "And how about your new girl ?"

"There've been…complications" said Lucas sadly. He asked Jensen to help him, find a new plan. But this time, the only thing he could say to him was to forget her, and find a new girl.

"Oh, so that's why you're so depressed…"

"I'm not depressed. I'm never depressed"

"Yes you are. You looked exactly the same when Pey…"

"Don't!" This time Lucas was furious. "Don't talk about her, it has nothing to do with her or Brooke…"

"So that's her name uh, Brooke. I thought you didn't remember girls name, especially when they didn't mean anything to you".

"What is that suppose to mean" asked Lucas still irritated.

"That the great Lucas Scott fell in love all over again".

After Lily left, Lucas couldn't help thinking about what his sister told him. Was it true. Did he really fall in love again? After all the effort he made to protect his feelings those last few months ? He couldn't deny it, Brooke was a beautiful woman. But they've know each other for a month, just a month. He couldn't have fall for her that fast. But why would he be feeling so depress if there wasn't anything, if she was just a beautiful girl. He felt empty, like something was missing in his life now that he wasn't able to talk to her and flirt with her. And he has already felt like this, with Peyton Sawyer. Just saying her name was hurtful, because she broke his heart. And this was the way he was feeling right now, hurtbroken. And it seemed like Brooke Davis was the reason one.

When she left Lucas' place, Lily headed directly to Jensen's apartment. She needed an explanation after what Lucas told him. She needed to know if they still were in a relationship.

"Hey you, I missed you" said Jensen when he saw the brunette at his door. He was about to kiss her but she backed away. "Are you trying to resist ? You won't be resisting a long time with all the naughty things I'm planning to do to you" said Jensen amused.

"No, I want to talk". Lily wasn't amused at all. She was serious and upset, Jensen could see it.

"Is everything all right ?" asked Jensen reluctant

"No, not really. Luke told me about you and those girls in the bar last night".

"What girls ?" asked Jensen, pretending he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Can you stop lying, for a second ? I know you fucked some whores in a bar yesterday!"

"I… We went to that bar because he didn't feel well…"

"And yet, you are the only one who stayed there ?"

Jensen was speechless now, she knew everything. Thank God he had a plan to fix everything

"Listen, I…"

"No! If you wanted to fuck other girls, you should have just told me, and we would have called it quit a long time ago"

"I don't want to end our relationship because I care about you. When Lucas left the bar, I followed him few minutes after." But the brunette didn't seem to believe him. "Lily, why would I lie to you ?"

"I don't know, maybe because the only thing you think about is sex! I thought you changed but you didn't…"

"Yes,I did! You changed me…"

"Stop lying! I'm tired of this. This is the only thing you're good about, lying. You lie to me, you lie to Lucas. I can accept many things from man, but not him cheating…So I'm done!"

Lily was about to leave, but Jensen stopped her before she did. He took her face in his hands, looking deeply in her eyes.

"Look at me, and tell me if you think I'm lying when I'm telling you that I love you. Because I do…I love you Lily Rose Scott".

Lily froze when she heard him say those words. They've been together for months and he has never said that he loved her, not once. But did he really mean it. She was there when he used to brag about how he always knew the right thing to say to keep a girl in his bed. Maybe she was just one of those girl for him, maybe he just wanted to keep her in his bed.

She was about to say something, but was interrupted by her phone.

"Hello…You found her?...Great, can you text me the adress, I'm going to her office right now...Ok thanks ". She quickly closed her phone. "I've got to go…Bye Jensen". And she left the house without giving him the time to respond.

Lucas got time to think about what his sister told him. And even if he wasn't sure it was love, he knew there was something. And that's why his sister decided to help him by making a plan Lucas didn't know anything about.

As for Sophia, she was ready to forget about him. She knew she had feelings for him, but after all she discovered about him, and the consequences their relationship could have, she was convinced that it was the right thing to do, for everybody.

Brooke was lost in her thoughts when someone knocked at her office door.

"Come in" A young brunette came in.

"Hi, my name is Lily Scott and I would like to talk about my brother, Lucas".
