There's A Thin Line Between Love And Friendship!

How She Broke Rachel

This wasn't right... sneaking around with my bestfriends fiancée was just wrong, but for some reason whenever we meet up I just let it slip my mind that his engaged to Peyton and we just have so much fun.

Like yesterday he took me out of town for the day, we went ice skating and I must admit it was properly one of the best times of my life. He made me feel special like no other guy I have dated in the past. Lucas Roe is different... yeah his engaged to my bestfriend, but I saw him first and that is the only defence I'm supporting right now.

But now it's 4 weeks later and I haven't heard from him. No text. No call. No email. It was very weird, but I let it pass. I saw Peyton now and again, but not Lucas until one party we were all invited too, but he avoided me the whole time.... Weird I know, but everyone was there... but then I found him alone outside I took this as my chance to confront him and even then I didn't get much out of him.

"Why you avoiding me?" I ask sliding the double doors shut so no one could hear us, but he said nothing "Lucas... why you avoiding me?"

"I'm not avoiding you Brooke" He replies obviously lying. He couldn't even look at me. He just looked ahead at the beautiful New York lights.

"Oh really that's why you haven't called me in almost a month" I respond "Ditching my calls Luke, if that's not you avoiding me then I don't know what is"

"Brooke..." He finally turns to me and goes to speak again when the double doors slide back open.

"Oh there you are baby" It was Peyton "My two favourite people ever" She continues stumbling over to Lucas and planting a kiss on his lips.

"You drunk babe?" Lucas asks as they pull apart. He looks at me then back to his fiancée.

"No" Peyton protests and Lucas just gives her a look "Okay fine maybe a little"

"Yeah that's what I thought" Lucas held her up "Come on babe let's take you home"

And then Peyton grabbed Lucas and planted a big kiss on him which he didn't stop of course. He was the one that deepened it and I don't know whether he was making a statement to me, but I got the message loud and clear and even if that broke my heart; I knew he was never going to call the wedding off.

"Yeah I'm going to go" I say not that they were listening "Bye" I whisper as a tear slipped down my cheek. I wipe it away walking pass them and see Lucas's eyes lock with mine. He saw the tear. I just closed my eyes and headed out of the party.

Then ever since that night at that party Lucas had been trying to call me, but I just ignored it. I ignored him and it was driving me nuts because I had been falling for him and as I was starting to get sucked in he spat me out, so I messaged him saying 'it was a mistake. Everything was a mistake and it happened and now it's over' He didn't like that because he replied 'None of it was a mistake Brooke. Please just listen to me', but instead of replying I just left the conversation hanging and hadn't spoken to him since. So here we are now pulling up to the cabin in the 7 seated car we rented.

I stopped and turned off the engine. The whole ride was full of awkward silences. Haley and Rachel grunting at each other. Nathan not saying anything then you had the big awkward mess between Lucas and I which I tried to avoid eye contact with him at all times and then you had Peyton who would bring up the wedding every 10 minutes or so. It was the longest ride of my life.

"Finally" Rachel grunts sliding the car door open and jumping out "I forgot it takes 3 hours just to drive up here"

"Yeah tell me about it" Peyton mutters taking her bag from the trunk and heading inside.
