Hey guys, sorry for the long wait of this chapter.

Please don't hate me.

Enjoy!!!

We got to the bar and it was crowed with college students that must got to the same college Lucas goes too. Lucas led me over to the booth that was obviously reserved and I sat down taking my jacket off.

"Want a drink baby?" Lucas asks. I mod and he heads to the bar with Aaron in tow.

I sat in the booth waiting for my drink so I scrolled through Facebook when two girls came up to the booth and slid person n beside me.

"Oh you must be Brooke" A red haired girl says with a smile "I'm Mel"

"Hi" I reply also with a smile "your Aaron's girl?"

"Kind of" she replies "he won't label us, but we practically do couplie things"

"Oh" I didn't mean for it to sound like that her mood changed a little "Oh no I didn't mean it to sound like that it's just" she looks to me "I had a guy like that back in high school. We were together for years, but he broke up with me to become the town slut and wanted me to wait around for him. I didn't I moved on and he made his bed and was basically forced to lie in it by his parents"

"That sounds like a tragic love story gone wrong"

"It started of as a love story and ended as a nightmare"

"But I thought you and Lucas met in high school. Isn't he that love story?" Aria asks bringing me back to reality and out of the past.

"And there's me thinking you know everything about Lucas and I" I reply back sarcastically "I was talking to your friend Aria, not you and FYI yes Lucas and I met in high school, but it was senior year. He saved me from said nightmare and made my story into the love story it should have been"

"That is so lovely" Mel says getting a jab in the ribs by Aria as she glared at me "well it is" she huffed back at her friend

"High school isn't made for Love stories and if they were then why are you and Lucas so far apart for the next 4 years huh?" yes she had a point I know that, but I wasn't going to let her know that "4 years is a long time for things to change Brooke. Anything can happen" she gave me a dirty smirk and a wink making my skin crawl. I just wanted to jump this table and grab her by her ugly hair, but I don't I just stay calm "come on Mel let's go dance" Mel waved me a goodbye and then they both shimmed out of the booth and onto the dance floor.

Lucas was walking back to the booth strange guy through the dance floor and my eyes followed as Aria walked up to him and began to try and dance with him. She turned around to face me and a small smirked formed in her face. Lucas said something to her and pushed her away resulting in a glare coming my way again and she stormed off with Mel in tow.

Maybe we shouldn't have come here tonight.

"Hey pretty girl, you okay?" Lucas put my drink down in front of me and I grabbed it and took a huge gulp "baby you okay?" he asked again "I saw Aria and Mel over here. Did they say something?"

"Nothing I can't handle Luke" I reply.

If I can take what Julian did to me then I can take one girl that wants my man. I don't like sharing.

"So you're from North Carolina Lucas tell me" I nod taking a sip of my drink "and you're a cheerleader right? You won that comp this year" I nod again "awesome" he smiled.

"AARON!!!" Mell called out over the music. Aaron turned in her direction "comes dance with us" Aaron got it an headed in their direction.

"Are you sure you're okay Brooke?" I mod sipping at my drink some more.

We were at this college party for a couple hours now. Lucas and I dance for a bit. He went and spoke to some friends. Brought me over to introduce me. And then we danced some more.

And the whole time Aria was glaring at me from a cross the room. I could feel her eyes bore into me. It was quite sad, but it was also her problem. I turned around in Lucas's direction and saw Aria over his shoulder to watching us. Mel was kissing Aaron so they weren't paying attention. Her eyes locked onto mine and in that moment petty high school Brooke showed a small appearance. I smiled at her and gave a little wink and then pulled Lucas into a long passionate kiss right there.

I could see the anger on Aria boil as she jumped down an from the stool she was sat on and stormed in our direction.

She stopped when she got to us "you okay Aria you seem a little pissed"

"I was perfectly fine until you showed up yesterday" she replied

"Good thing I showed up for MY boyfriend then and not you"

"Yeah let's see how much longer he will be your boyfriend" she looked from me to Lucas.

"Aria I've told you I wouldn't go there. Brooke is my forever I'm sorry that's just how it is" Lucas says making my heart melt "now I'd appreciate it if you walked away and leave me and Brooke alone"

"You say that now Lucas, but when she leaves it'll be a different story" another smirk formed on her lips and I went to wipe it off when Lucas wrapped his arms around my waist to stop me.

What did she mean by that? Does Lucas really entertain her when I'm not here. Is that what was happening when I turned up yesterday. Am I over thinking things? Has she just poisoned my mind?

I wiggle out of Lucas's embrace and go back to the booth to grab my jacket and then I headed for the double doors. Lucas followed me.

"Brooke, wait up. Brooke" he finally reached me and spun me around to face him. I didn't want to think too much into what Aria was saying, but I also didn't want to look like the idiot girlfriend who can't see what is happening right in front of her.

"What did she mean by that Luke?" I ask trying so very hard not to cry

"I don't know" Lucas shrugged "it's just... Aria being her annoying self"

"No" I shake my head not taking that for an answer this time "no Lucas she doesn't just say something like that if there isn't something behind it"

"Brooke come on I would never"

"Cheat on me, hurt me. Yeah I thought that too, but we are like over 2,000 miles apart. How do I know what actually goes on when I'm not here"

"Brooke stop thinking of a way to walk away from this. From us"

"Lucas I think... I think this was a mistake" tears formed in my eyes and my heart hammered against my chest. I could barely breathe as he looked back at me "we... We shouldn't have done this" I whisper, but I know he could hear me "I have to go"

"Brooke okay stop. Just... Please just stop. I don't understand what is happening right now. We had such a good night last night and a good day and here you are again trying to find something to end this between us" I could see the pleading in his eyes and my heart hammered even faster. I didn't want to hurt him and I didn't want to hurt us, but I just have this feeling.

A feeling that this shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be feeling like this. What is happening? Why am I feeling like this?

"I told you Lucas, I told everyone that this isn't going to work. That we can not make this work and I was right. This isn't going to work. We can't work. It's too hard and I just..."

"Stop that okay!" Lucas kinda shouted making my body stop on the spot "Stop making excuses Brooke. Just be a grown up and walk away if that is what you actually want. I'm not going to stand here and listen to this anymore. I can't do that. I can't continue to plead for you to stay. For you to not give us up. If you want to give us up then do it"

I stood there looking back at Lucas. Did I really push him that far. Have I done this to us? I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Am I this insecure that I've pushed him too far this time. What the hell is wrong with me.

But I just can't shift this feeling I have. The feeling of just walking away. To let him have the experience he should have and me also.

I love Lucas. I'm in love with Lucas, but was that enough? Why do I feel like it's not.

"I'm sorry Luke" I say as a single tear slowly falls down my cheek.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!
