Love you all so much and thank you for reading and reviewing and being just awesome!!!

Winter break had come and I was meeting everyone in Utah for the 2 weeks. I packed last night because I had a early flight. I got to the airport and waited to board the plane.

Once I got to the cabin I was the first there. I took my bag up to my room and unpacked everything. I then decided to just walk around until someone else turned up. I looked at all the pictures of the girls and I. I got to a section that I totally forgot about and saw pictures of Julian and I. We haven't been back here since he and I broke up.

I started to pick each picture off the wall and placed them in the drawer underneath.

"Hey Davis" I turn around and see Peyton and Jake "how long you been here?"

"A few hours or so" I reply "I wanted to be first this time".

Peyton looked behind me at the wall "You've taken them down"

I nod "memories I don't really want to remember"

"Hello" came a voice "anyone here yet?"

"Upstairs" Peyton replies "I'm gonna go put my bag in our room Brooke"

"Okay"

"Hey Brooke" Rachel says walking up with Owen behind her.

"Hey Rach" she hugged me when she got to me

"You okay?"

I've been okay because I went back to campus and didn't have Lucas's presence around me so my feelings for him I could push aside.

"I'm okay" I lie. I mean I am okay just nervous to see Lucas again without Rose.

"Girls" that was Haley

"upstairs" I replied.

"I'll be back" Rachel says taking Owen's hand and leading him to their bedroom.

"I'm so excited for these two weeks together" Haley says bouncing up the stairs

"Me too" I reply as she hugged me.

"I'm so glad you came Brooke"

"Me too" that wasn't a lie I was happy I decided to join. I've thought hard and long about it and I really don't want my college life to clash with my previous life because I've let that happen and look what's happened. I lost Lucas and maybe for good.

Everyone was here and we were waiting on Lucas. Well that's if he is coming. He might have changed his mind.

While everyone was getting familiar with the house and the girls were showing the guys around since we haven't been up here for a long long time I went outside and sat on the swinging bench we had installed the last time we were here.

It was a cold winter night and the sun had gone down about an hour ago so it was just all breeze passing by. Headlights were seen and I saw a taxi pull up. My heart stopped because I knew it was Lucas. He always did make my heart stop just by the way he'd look at me like I was the only girl in the world.

The taxi stopped and out walked Lucas. He flung his bag into his shoulder and the taxi started to back out.

He walked towards the front steps and our eyes caught. My mind went blank and it felt like the first time I saw him. Butterflies flutter around my stomach just by his gaze.

A smile formed in his lips "Hey pretty girl"

I stood up and met him at the last step. And he engulfed me in a hug "I've missed you" I whisper snuggling myself into his chest feeling safe. Tree hill wasn't my safety net. It was Lucas.

"This cabin is just wow" Lucas says as we pulled away "Why you out here?" he asks "waiting for me?"

I laughed knocking his arm with my hand "maybe" he smiled again "the girls were showing the guys around and I felt like some fresh air"

"So should we get out of the cold and you can show me where I'm sleeping" I nod and we head inside.

"So we only have four room so yeah you can bunk with me and sleep on the sofa in my room or you can stay downstairs" I tell him as he closes the front door.

I obviously already knew we wouldn't stay in the same bed in respect for his girlfriend.

"I can stay on the sofa in your room if you're sure" he says "you make better company"

I just smile and we head up to my room "So it's not a pull out bed or whatever, but it is comfy" Lucas nods and throws his bag on his now bed

"So we can be friends right?" he says out of the blue turning to look at me. I just nod not knowing what to say or do. I wasn't expecting the question "good because I wouldn't want to lose you Brooke, you're too important to me"

What did that even mean? I just look back at him trying not to show anything on my face because I knew my expression make me an open book.

I also can not look or think too much into that.

"Brooke we were gonna... Oh Lucas hey, didn't know you were here" Peyton says "glad you could make it, anyways we were gonna go to the bar tonight and then maybe go into town tomorrow afternoon"

"Yeah all that sounds perfect" I reply "I'm gonna change and I'll be right down" Peyton nodded and then left.

"We leave in 15" she shouted back as she walked down to her room.

"I also have an ensuite through that door" I point to the red painted door "and there is a free bathroom just down the hall to the left"

"I'm gonna head down the hall and freshen up, give you some privacy" He says grabbing his bag and leaving.

I showered and washed my hair and then wrapped my towel around me and walked into the room to get dressed. Once I picked my outfit which was a red skirt and a white top I plaited by hair to one side and applied a little makeup.

"You ready Brooke?" the door to my room opened and Lucas stood there "the girls are asking for you"

"I'm ready" I say standing to grab my jacket and bag and following Lucas out.

"You look really pretty Brooke" Lucas compliments as we get to the others.

"What he means to say, but can't is you look totally hot B" Rachel smiles and gives a little wink.

"Thanks" I reply trying not to blush too much.

We get to the bar and find a booth in the back. The bar was loud with music and very crowded with locals I'm assuming. I slid into the booth with the girls.

"We'll grab the drinks" Lucas says pointing to the bar "what's everyone having"

Everyone tells there order and the guys go to the bar.

"So now that he is gone, what's going on with you and Lucas?" Rachel asked

"Nothing" I reply kind of disappointed that was the truth. I miss him. A lot "he has Rose to go back too and I don't want to be that girl"

"We get that" Haley says in a sad tone "and we can see how much this all hurts you deeply and we are sorry for not telling you about them"

"It's okay" I slightly smile. I was over that, they thought they were helping. I'm not mad at anyone, but my self. This is all my fault and I have to deal with the back lash "I'm not mad at anyone, but myself anyways Hales"

"Well we see the way he still looks at you Brooke. That man is in love with you and yes he has a girlfriend, but I don't think he really has moved on like he wants to believe he has"

"That may be true Peyt, but I'm not going to hurt Rose like that. She's a nice girl and maybe she's the right one for him" I reply "I hurt him girls, I hurt him pretty bad and maybe he got with Rose to forget about me and that's okay because I done the same thing and I told him to go sleep around and enjoy college. My reaction at thanksgiving was high school Brooke, but that Brooke graduated"

"We love you Brooke and we stick by you no matter what okay" They all nodded making me smile a real smile this time.

"I love you girls"

"And we love you"

"Okay so we have the drinks" the guys say placing them on the table to each of us.

"I got you a Malibu and lemonade if I remember rightly" Lucas says placing the drink in front of me.

I nod with a smile "thank you Luke"

The girls wondered off into the crowds with their guys and I stayed back and so did Lucas. At first we sat in a comfortable silence watching as the girls dance with the guys.

"So you really wish you could go back to last year and change what happened at thanksgiving?" Lucas asked sipping at his drink.

I nod "Yeah I do"

"What would you change?"

"Firstly I would go back to senior year because that was the best year of my life and I really felt alive then" I looked to Lucas "then I would change the way I acted at the beginning of college. I would have tried harder and not let little things get between us or get to me leading me to do what I did. I would have just tried harder"

"I would go back and change things too" He says surprising me "I would have accepted the offer from the school in California. I wish I would have followed you and I could have, I got offered the same course that I'm doing now. I would never have let you break us up. I would have kept trying"

I didn't realise he had regrets of last year. I thought it was just me.

"I miss you" he says "like really miss you and yes I know I have Rose, but she isn't you and that sucks because I don't want to hurt her and she is a really nice girl and she understood our relationship and didn't freak out about it like most girls would have"

"I get it. She is nice. I was so jealous that she was that nice to me. She's very pretty too and I can see you two together which hurt the most because maybe she is your one and maybe you aren't going to come back to me"

This whole honesty thing has made me super vulnerable.

"Don't do that Brooke" he says "you know none of that is true, I just did as you asked and Rose fell into my lap perfectly when I needed it. She is perfect, but she isn't you. You are my one Brooke. I told you that and I meant it when I said it"

"So what do we do now? Like what's going to happened now? Do we just go back to college like this conversation didn't happen and you go off and have a life with Rose and forget about me completely"

Lucas laughed making me laugh a little too and then sipped his drink "I love how dramatic you can be pretty girl, it's so refreshing" he laughed again "let's go dance and deal with all that tomorrow" he slides out of the booth and holds out his hand for me to take which I do and he leads us to the dance floor.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!

Love you all millions
