Hey guys,

So I'm a kind of aggravated one of the reviews I got think they know where this story is going just because Brooke said she had a warm feeling for Jason. Yes Brooke has started to develop feelings for another guy, but that doesn't mean she is going to cheat on Lucas.

Sandygirl – if you don't want to read my stories then don't. I won't make you, I won't plead for you to give it time or whatever. You've reviewed my other stories and said you are not gonna read them. That isn't going to stop me from writing my stories the way I want to write them. They are MY stories.

Guest – I really wish you would sign in and show your name because you are awesome and I love your reviews. You are one of the reasons I continue to write.

Long live BRUCAS – I love how you have been with me since I first started. Thank you so very much for your support and reviews.

Diane Herman's – You have also been with me since I first started and I appreciate you and the love you have given my stories. It means a lot.

So again please if you do write a review you can write whatever you like, but please don't write assumptions of where you think the story is going when you have no idea. Don't write that you are not wasting your time because I don't want to read that thank you. If you don't want to read my stories then just don't. You don't need to tell me that reading my stories is a waste of time because that isn't nice.

I can deal with criticism I have done before, but saying its a waste of time isn't for me.

Anyway enough of ranting. Thank you to everyone else that is reviewing and liking it so far. I love you. Please bare with me.

This is my last chapter to post today. Stay tuned and enjoy!!!

I trusted Brooke I did. I know she would never do anything like that. I just miss her and hate that she can have fun with someone else that isn't me yet she is right, She can have guy friends. I can't be that controlling boyfriend. I will not be a Julian.

I was out again with my roommate Aaron and he's what does he call her... Oh right his on again off again girlfriend. The music was blaring and everyone looked like they were having fun, but my head would go to Brooke and wondering what she was up to tonight. She was probably out partying like me.

"Hey Lucas" I took a swig from my drink and looked up at Aria. I met her my first night here when we went out to some bar "you look lonely"

"Just missing home a lot lately" I answer "you having fun?"

"I'm kind of drunk, but yeah I'm having fun. Mel is chasing after Aaron as usual so I'm also a loner now too"

I laughed a little "want to be loners together" she grabbed my beer and took a swig then handed it back to me.

"Sure"

"Will you cheer up?" Aaron says plonking himself down on the seat beside me "I'm sure Brooke is enjoying herself tonight at some college party. That's what chicks do dude"

I know he is right. I mean I bet she isn't as miserable as me or maybe she is. I don't know.

"And what do you want me to do. I came out with you" I state drinking my beer.

"Take this" he holds up a shot of some sort of liquid "come on Luke take it" I let out a long breath and take the shot from him. He then holds up his own shit and we click them together and down them.

The hot liquid runs down my throat and into my blood stream giving me a warm feeling.

"Let's get another" I state standing to my feet and heading for another shot.

"Hey Luke" it was Jake's voice as I sit up in bed. It was the next morning and my head was banging. God I drunk too much last night.

"Hey Jake, what's up?" I grab the glass of water and take a gulp.

"Just checking in" he says "I've been worried about you. Your texts worried me a little and Peyton is freaking out"

"Freaking out about what?"

"Thanksgiving and if we are all going to stick to our promises"

Oh right. I forgot we were going back home for thanksgiving to have a big family dinner.

"I'm there Jake. Tell Peyt I wouldn't break a promise"

"I will. Are you okay though Luke?" I could hear the worry in his voice "maybe I should come stay in New York for a weekend. We could hang out"

"That would be great Jake. I miss you guys. I miss home"

"Me too Luke. Me too" I then hear mumbles in the background. It sounded like Peyton "Luke I have to go, but I'll call you and we'll make a plan for a weekend real soon. Oh Luke Peyt is here if you want to talk more"

"Okay J. See you soon. Yeah I'll talk with Peyt" Jake says bye and passes the phone to Peyton "Hey Sawyer"

"Hey Luke, what's up?"

"Have you spoken to Brooke lately?"

"Not really. We've been trying, but we seem to always miss her or she goes MIA" Peyton says "have you spoken to her?"

"Only here or there. We don't seem to have long chats anymore" I reply "I miss her though. A lot actually. I didn't realise how hard this would be"

And I really didn't. It's been super hard not waking up next to Brooke or driving over to see her. I miss being able to kiss her whenever I can or want.

"I'm sure she misses you too Luke"

The dorm door opened and Aaron walked in with a bag from our favourite spot since moving to New York.

"I brought you food Luke" Aaron says throwing me the bag.

"Peyt I'm going to go and eat. Thank you for the talk. See you soonish" she says bye and then I hang up.

"Thanks dude. I'm starving"

"So I was thinking maybe we have a easy night tonight and go play some darts and pool down at the bar" Aaron says biting into his sandwich roll.

"Considering this headache is banging I think that would be a good idea" Aaron laughed "that's right you laugh Mr I don't get hang overs" I roll my eyes at him.

"Not my fault dude" he laughs again "so Mel is coming over in about an hour do you reckon you could take a long walk or something"

"Well yes I'm not gonna stay here while you too hump like rabbits" I reply hearing him laugh some more "I don't get why you guys don't just commit to each other man. She's practically your girlfriend"

He screws his nose up at that term "the word girlfriend entitles too much Luke. You know that. You have Brooke and that's all great and that, but college life isn't going to give you the full effect if you have a girlfriend"

Was he right? Was the long distance thing a good idea. I know I practically made Brooke commit to me that way and do the long distance thing, but was I wrong. Can love be enough for us to get through it.

"Is that true though Aaron or are you just saying that because you know you have feelings for Mel and don't want to admit to it"

He rolls his eyes "Mel is good in bed and knows how to work it. That's why I keep her around"

"And yet you don't sleep with anyone other than Mel when you obviously could. I mean Tiffany makes it obvious she wants to jump you whenever we are out dude"

"Man you know Mel would freak out if I did Tiff. They are ex friends and besides I can only handle one girl at a time" I laugh just as my phone rings.

"Dude ima take this outside. Its Lil" Aaron nods.

"Hey Lil, what's up?" I answer as I head out.

Thank you so much for your reviews.

Love you all
