"Because of You."

Brooke has a sister named Jaclyn who is ten months younger. Jaclyn and Lucas are best friends. Jaclyn and Lucas just started dating. Everything else that happened on the show has happened except the Davis's haven't moved to California yet. There will be flashbacks to reveal what happened.

Chapter 1: Crisis

Brooke rushed into the busy ER and spotted Lucas immediately. He was covered in blood.

"Lucas OMG! How is she?" Brooke asked on the verge of tears.

"The doctors are still working on her I don't know."

"Are you ok?" she asked

"Yeah it's not my blood." Brooke nodded

"What happened?" she asked not really wanting to know.

Before Lucas could say anything the doctor came out. "The family of Jaclyn Davis?" he asked

Brooke and Lucas both rushed over to him. "How is she? How's my sister?" Brooke asked

"Are your parents here?" the doctor asked

"No they're in New York for the weekend. How is my sister?" she asked getting aggravated with this man.

"She had extensive stab wounds and lost a lot of blood. We did everything that we could, but she didn't make it. I'm sorry." The doctor walked off.

Brooke started sobbing and would have collapsed on the floor if it hadn't of been for Lucas who caught her.

After they had cleaned the body the doctors allowed Brooke and Lucas to go see Jaclyn. Both of them just stood in the doorway neither wanting to move. Finally Lucas took a deep breath and walked over to Jaclyn, her face was pale but she looked like she was sleeping except for the fact that her throat was slashed. It sent chills down his spine seeing her. He could hear Brooke coming up behind him.

"God Jaclyn what happened to you?" Brooke sobbed. Lucas put his hand on her shoulder and Brooke turned and cried into his chest. Lucas wrapped his arms around her.

The ride home to Peyton's was silent. Lucas had called her when they left the hospital and told her what happened; he knew that Brooke couldn't stay at her house tonight. Peyton was waiting outside for them. She weakly smiled at both of them and hugged Brooke when she got out of the car.

"She's gone Peyt." Was all Brooke could make out.

"I know."

The three went inside. Lucas went to take a shower leaving Brooke and Peyton alone. Neither said a word. Finally Brooke wiped her eyes. "I think I'm going to go to bed." She said softly.

Peyton nodded. "Ok. I'm going to wait for Lucas." Brooke nodded and went into Peyton's room.

When Lucas got out of the shower only Peyton was still on the couch. She looked up when she heard footsteps.

"Where's Brooke?" he asked

"Asleep. How are you?"

Lucas shrugged. "I don't know how to answer that."

Peyton nodded. "Why don't you stay tonight too?" she suggested

"Thanks Peyton."
