A/N: So this is definitely some of my better writing. I guess it's a lot more emotional than some of the other stuff I have ever wrote before. It deals with real life stuff. I know it's kinda vague for a first chapter and all, but it's alright. And to clarify Lucas and Brooke are not going out. Please read, review, and enjoy.

Brooke woke up and immediately started crying. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would experience this. She tried to sit up, but it hurt to much. She tried again, and finally got there. She pulled her knees up to her chin although it hurt to bad to think straight. She stayed in that position for a while, then her phone rang. She wasn't crying anymore, just sitting rocking. She reached over, and grabbed her phone. It hurt, and she winced, but moved on with it. She looked at the caller ID. It was Haley. She didn't answer it. She just let it ring.

After another hour or so of sitting and doing nothing, Brooke finally decided to get up. She got up slowly and carefully. It hurt. Everything had a slight fog around it. She walked to the stairs, and one by one made it down them. She went to the kitchen, and grabbed a banana. There was a knock at the door. She walked to the front door, she looked through the peep whole, it was Peyton. She didn't answer the door. She went and sat down on the couch. She started to cry again, the pain was awful.

Brooke had cried herself to sleep when there was a knock on her door. She didn't move at first, then she sat up. There was another knock. Brooke didn't move from her sitting position. The door opened. It was Lucas. "Brooke?!" He called, with panic in his voice. He looked over at her sitting on the couch. He ran over "Brooke?! What's wrong? What happened?!" Brooke broke down in tears, Lucas sat down next to her and wrapped her in a hug. She winced a little from the pain of crying, and Lucas felt her tighten up. He wondered what had happened to her. He hugged her tight, shushing her, and stroking her hair.
