-1Everyone was waiting on Peyton and Jake to come to Brooke and Lucas's so that they could all get ready and leave for Rachel's cabin. Rachel sighed and pulled her hair into a ponytail before digging through her purse for her sunglasses.

"Where are they…I mean they should have been here a half an hour ago"

"Rachel just chill" Haley called up from the couch where her and Nathan were playing a card game.

"Oh ok Haley" Rachel shook her head and sighed.

Mouth wrapped his arm around Rachel's shoulder "They'll be her Rachel…they probably had to stop for gas"

"Whatever….I just want to get up there before we get stuck in work traffic"

Brooke looked up from her magazine "Rachel…your cabin is like 3 hours away from here…no matter what time Peyton and Jake get here it's going to be a long time before we get there"

Rachel rolled her eyes "I can't believe I have to ride in the van with you the whole way"

Brooke shut her magazine and rested her head on Lucas's shoulder, in response Lucas wrapped his arm around Brooke's shoulder.

"I miss Hannah already" Brooke sighed "I wonder what she's doing right now?"

Lucas kissed the top of Brooke's head "Probably playing with Lily"

The sound of Jake's mustang pulling into the driveway caused everyone to stand up and grab their bags. Rachel took off out the door with her suitcase rolling behind her.

"It's about time you guys got here" Rachel complained as she drug her suitcase through the grass and over to the big 12 passenger van that she had rented for their trip to the mountains.

"It's good to see you too Rach" Peyton said dryly as she and Jake made their way to the trunk and pulled out their bags.

Everyone made their way out of the house and Brooke walked over to Peyton and hugged her. "Hey best friend"

Peyton smiled as she hugged Brooke "Right back at you best friend"

Brooke pulled back and bent down to pick up one of Peyton's bags "I was wondering if you were ever going to get here"

Peyton nodded "I know we had to drop the kids off at my dad's and also…Jake's never been up to the cabin before so he didn't know what he was supposed to bring or wear…so much like a woman" Peyton teased.

Jake walked over to her and playfully smacked her butt as he walked to the van "I'm sorry…it's my first time"

Brooke and Peyton laughed and followed him.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Once they'd finally made it to the cabin everyone got out of the car and made their way up to the house. Rachel unlocked the door and walked in and everyone soon followed her.

"I can't believe this place" Jake said in awe as he looked around "It's crazy"

Peyton smiled and hugged Jake after he put his suitcase down. "Aw, Jake are you speechless?"

Jake nodded "It's unreal…the only thing that would make this better is if there were ATV's"

Rachel looked over from where she and Mouth were kissing "In the garage"

"Oh my God" Jake yelled as he took off to the back of the house

Everyone laughed as they watched Jake run around like a kid in a candy store. Brooke looked over at Lucas who had been unusually quiet since they had gotten here. She took hold of his hand as they walked through the house and back to the bedroom that they were going to sleep in. Brooke walked over to the bed and sat down, she looked up at Lucas who had walked over to the window and looked out of it blankly.

"What's wrong?" Brooke asked as she looked over at him.

Lucas shook his head "Nothing….I just forgot how beautiful it is up here" he said quietly

Brooke nodded "Come try out the new bed, Rachel's mom and dad got new pillow top mattresses and they are amazing"

Lucas looked over at her and shook his head "Maybe later" was all he said before walking out the door.

Brooke sighed and ran a hand through her hair "Sure" she said to herself before lying back on the bed.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Later that night everyone had changed into their pajama's and sat around the fireplace. Nathan and Haley were curled up on one side of the couch, while Peyton and Jake sat on the other side of them curled up under a blanket. Rachel was sitting on a love seat and Mouth was sitting on the floor between her legs. Brooke and Lucas were lying in their recliner under a blanket and she rested her head on his shoulder as the friends sat around the fire and chatted.

"So do you guys want to play "I Never" ?" Rachel asked as she took a sip of her wine.

Everyone groaned and Rachel smiled "You guys are such party poopers…if Pete from Fall Out Boy was here you'd all want to play"

"Wait Pete from Fall Out Boy was here?" Jake asked as he ran his hand through Peyton's hair.

Haley nodded "Yeah he and Peyton had a thing going…oh shut up Haley"

Jake looked at Peyton "You and Pete Wentz?"

Peyton smiled uncomfortably "It was a long time ago….besides Pete got married…and I've got you Jake so I don't need anyone else"

Jake nodded and kissed Peyton quickly "Just as long as you remember that"

"I'll play" Brooke said as she sat up from where she was lazily running circles on Lucas's chest

"Me too" Haley and Peyton both said

"Ok then" Rachel said as she filled up her glass of wine "I'll go first….I've never been married"

All three girls groaned and took a drink of wine "Ok my turn" Haley said "I've never slept with more than one person"

Peyton, Rachel and Brooke all took a drink of wine. "Ok now me" Peyton cheerfully said as she thought "Um…I've never…..had sex at a place where children gather"

The whole room looked at Brooke for she was the only one who had to drink. "I hate you guys"

"Oh gosh, I remember back in high school when Brooke and Lucas went on that trip with Karen and Keith for the weekend and Brooke thought that her and Lucas were going to get their own room but she had to end up sleeping in the same bed as Karen" Peyton laughed as she told the story which caused everyone in the room to laugh.

Haley snorted as she laughed "I remember that…Brooke called me and she was like "I bought this lingerie from Victoria's Secret and Lucas and I can't get a minute alone so I can show it to him" I almost died she said that Lucas was always somewhere with Keith"

Brooke looked over at Lucas who was had sat up and moved out from under the blanket. "Where are you going?"

Lucas looked around the room before looking at Brooke "I think I'm just going to go to bed"

Nathan looked at his watch "It's only 10:00 man"

Lucas nodded "Yeah but I'm really tired….I'll see you guys in the morning"

Brooke watched Lucas walk down the hall and into their room "I guess I'll go to bed too" Brooke told everyone as she stood up and walked pulled her blanket around her. Brooke walked down the hall and into the bedroom before shutting the door.

"I'm going to have to burn those sheets" Rachel sighed as she took a sip of wine.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Brooke looked at Lucas who was already in bed "You ok?" she asked as she slipped the blanket off of her shoulders and laid it across an empty chair before walking over to the bed and pulling back the covers and getting in.

Lucas looked over at Brooke "I just have a lot on my mind"

Brooke curled into Lucas's arms and rested her head on his bare shoulder "You know you can tell me anything"

Lucas sighed sadly "I was just thinking that the last time we were here was right after Keith died…I just can't believe that it's been that long….I just really hate that Lily didn't even get to meet him"

Brooke nodded sadly "I know baby"

"Could you imagine how crazy he would have been about Hannah" Lucas looked down at Brooke.

"He would have spoiled her rotten…even more than she already is" Brooke smiled as she thought about how Keith would have been with Hannah. "Keith would have been so proud of you…I want you to know that"

Lucas smiled sadly "I just really miss my Uncle Keith a lot Pretty Girl"

Brooke raised her head and pulled herself so that she could look at Lucas "I know….I miss him too….Do you remember the time that he walked in on us making out?"

Lucas laughed softly, It was the first time that Brooke had seen him do that since they had gotten there that afternoon. "Yeah….it's surprising though cause you and I have done so much worse in that house while he was there….for instance the night you snuck over after the basketball game and we had sex while my mom and Keith watched "Jay Leno"….I don't know how they didn't hear us"

Brooke laughed and leaned down and kissed Lucas on the chin "Hey I'm not the one who can't be quiet"

"Oh really….that's not what I remember B"

Brooke shook her head "Well I remember things a whole lot differently than you do"

"Well it's ok….I had you pretty busy that night so it's understandable that you wouldn't remember things that clearly"

Brooke blushed slightly "Lucas….you're being really naughty"

Lucas smiled up at her "Well you have that effect on me"

Brooke threw her leg over Lucas and moved to straddle him she leaned down and her hair fell down around her face like a curtain. She leaned down and kissed Lucas quickly on his lips. "What other effects do I have on you?" Brooke started to slowly kiss her way across Lucas's chin and jaw line. She rocked her hips against his once which caused a soft groan to escape from his lips. Brooke smiled against Lucas's jaw and rocked her hips against his again. Lucas closed his eyes and grabbed her hips. "Brooke….you know we can't do this"

Brooke kissed her way back down to his lips "It's never stopped us before….after all it was you who had me pinned up against the back room at Tric after Hannah was born"

Lucas shook his head "Brooke please….I don't want to hurt you and you're still recovering from your surgery…and our friends our still awake"

Brooke moved up to Lucas's ear and whispered "Please Luke I want to make you feel better…you don't have to do anything…just let me take care of it" Brooke started to rock her hips again. Lucas tightened his grip and pulled Brooke off of him.

"I can't….I'm sorry…not yet….I'm just afraid I'll hurt you" Lucas ran his hand through his short chopped hair.

"But Lucas you won't….I'm fine" Brooke protested pleading with him

"Brooke…you're making this really hard for me….It's taking all I have not to pin you down and make you beg me to stop but we can't…..not yet…you need to recover first"

Brooke nodded she knew she wasn't going to win this battle tonight so she simply gave in. "Fine" was all she said and she laid down and pulled the blankets up around her. Brooke felt Lucas get out of bed and walk into the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" she asked sitting up to look at him.

"I need to take a shower" Lucas groaned sticking his head out of the door.

Brooke looked at Lucas she knew exactly what he was going to do. "I could take one with you…it would be our chance to "Go Green" as you call it"

Lucas quickly shook his head "No…Brooke I can't be around you right now cause I'm holding onto what little bit of self control that I have left"

Brooke laid back down and listened as she heard the water turn on "This is going to be harder than I planned" Brooke thought to herself as she turned over on her side and drifted off to sleep.
