Hey everyone! Ok, today I went walking with my ipod and when I was listening to this song I just thought I had to write something about it so this is a short oneshot on the song "going under" by evanescence. The story is settled right after the finale of the third season.
Disclaimer: I do not own one tree hill and/or any of its characters and quotes. Same thing for the song.

Lucas was driving when he saw Haley screaming on the edge of the bridge. She stood up really quickly and went to him. "Lucas!" she opened the door and helped him out. "…Rachel and Cooper fell over the bridge and in the river and then Nathan jumped over and he hasn't come up for a really long time!" she screamed. A body floated over the water. "Nathan!!" Haley yelled. "Oh god…" Lucas said before pulling off his tux and jumping in the water. He got to the body and swam to the edge of the river. "Help him Luke!" Haley screamed. Lucas turned the body to face him. "It's Cooper!"
He dove back into the river and found the car where Nathan and Rachel were stocked. He saw Nathan gasping for air in the little space he had left to breathe and appeared right next to him. "Nate…I got Rachel…". Nathan looked at him "Luke?" he asked confused. "Go be with…Haley!". Nathan nodded and took a last deep breath before going out the opened window. Lucas breathed to regain a little bit of his strength and tried to untie Rachel. It was easier than he thought. He would just have to get her out and swim to dry land. He put her up but just then a sharp pain went trough his chest.
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried.
He thought about Brooke. About all they've been trough. About their broken relationship. About their lies--about his lies. He really did hurt her bad.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
He managed to push Rachel with all of his might but couldn't stop thinking about his confession to Brooke.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you're gonna tell me what this is about?" he asked.
"Maybe you should tell me about it" she answered angrily.
"C'mon Brooke…"
She took a deep breath before she spoke "Peyton told me some things about the two of you…"
Lucas sighed and caught her eyes in his "Brooke…I understand that you worry about my past with Peyton but you gotta understand the circumstances this time…I mean…god she was bleeding and she thought she was gonna die...I mean...the kiss…meant nothing!" he said trying to convince her that her truly loved her. She looked shocked at his statement.
"What kiss? Did you kiss her again?" she asked angry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas thought about how much he screwed up and pain grew higher in his chest.
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
Lucas kept thinking about how much he really lost Brooke this time but he couldn't. He loved her just so much. He thought about the night they became exclusive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas heard a knock on the door and opened it to see a grieving Brooke with a box in her hands.
"There are 82 letters in here and they're all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer, one a day, but I never sent them because I was afraid."
"Brooke…"
"…I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before 'cause you hurt me so bad and I was afraid to be vulnerable and I was afraid of you and the way you make me feel. I know that it doesn't matter now after what I did, but I just thought that you should know. This is how I spent my summer, Luke, wanting you. I was just too scared to admit it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas felt bad again has he reunited all his strength and pushed Rachel. She got the top of the water.
I'm dying again
Lucas looked as the sky seemed to blur and wash away. He couldn't do this to his mom but he didn't have the choice. All his strength had left his body just like Keith did. Oh Keith. He was gone too and Lucas hade a hard time leaving it behind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I know Jim...but if I don't get her out of here she's gonna die..." he said to the kid who was holding a gun in his face.
"I didn't mean to hurt her..."
"We know that Jimmy" Keith said appearing in the corner.
"What the hell is this! The school's on lockdown!"
"She's hurt Jimmy..."
"I didn't mean it" said the kid so mad about what he did to Peyton. He shot her. He never intented in hurting anyone but he did. Keith looked at him with a relieving look.
"Go on Luke!" he said walking in front of his nephew.
"Keith..." Lucas said worried as he walked behind him and to the door.
"Luke...you know I love you...now go!" he said as Lucas looked at him with so much fear in his eyes.
After that, Keith died and Lucas and his mom were left alone...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Lucas began to sink. Water became heavier on him and his eyelids started to close. Again, he saw Brooke's face.
Blurring and stirring
the truth and the lies.
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Right know he didn't even know if she still loved him and it hurt like hell because he knew he was the guy for her and he wanted to proove it but he just couldn't fight anymore.
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
He slowly lost hope and he felt sorry for his brother and friends. Then he thought about his mom. "Sorry mom" he thought.
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
He slowly closed his eyes. Dark surrounded him as he left his body float in the cold water. He could hear Brooke's voice. She was pleading him to hang on. This was not real because deep down he knew she wasn't there. Everything suddenly went black.
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
He didn't know if he had make it. He could hear voices around him but everything seemed so far away. He actually thought he was hearing his mom begging him to open his eyes but she just seemed so far away. He wanted to go and join her but he felt just so weak. He could hear some voices he didn't know. They were saying phrase that just seemed so blur since he could just get some little parts of them. "We don't know if…gonna wake up…seems like…lungs and heart…". He didn't bother focusing more on that. He just felt like he could sleep forever. Just as he thought like giving up—he felt her. All of her being was driving him crazy. Her perfume, her shampoo, her soft skin, her warmth…he knew it was her and he felt like she was crying. He really felt bad for leaving her behind. Her voice seemed to be the only one he could clearly hear. The soft sound of her voice got to him like if she was whispering softly in his ear.
"Please Broody…I'm so sorry…wake up please! I love you…"
I've got to breathe
I can't keep going under
"Please boyfriend…please Broody…don't die on me! Don't leave me…I'm so sorry…"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas ran after Brooke and joined her in his yard—begging her to stay.
"Brooke! I'm sorry…what you did with Chris it's ok!"
"It's not. It can't be. It's too much to forgive." She said crying.
"Well, that's too bad because I forgive you." He answered smiling.
"But…You can't."
"I just did, so you're just gonna have to deal with it!.. I'm the guy for you Brooke Davis and I know I hurt you pretty bad the last time we were together but..."
"I love you." She said crying even more.
"I love you too… pretty girl" he said stroking her hairs from her face before kissing her softly on the lips.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She just sat there for hours taking his hand in hers.
"Please Luke...open your eyes...ok just...tell me if you can hear me ok...just squeeze my hand and let me know you still here with me..."
She didn't feel anything. A tear rolled down her cheek as she felt a small, weak squeeze in her hand.
"Lucas? You awake…" Brooke asked with a tone that drifted between relief and anxiety. His eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Brooke…Cheery…" he said so weakly.
"Thank god you awake!"
I can't keep going under
"I came back for you…I love you…pretty girl!"
Haha. So what do you think ? Like it? Hate it? Just let me know. If you took the time to read you should have a little 1 min more to review. Thanks for reading.
