Full Summary: Brooke Centric, Brucas. Other characters and pairing as well. Somewhat same plot as the show Reba but with some differences. I'm A Survivor begins with the Roe family in the midst of a divorce as small town Tree Hill's soccer mom Karen Roe watched her white-picket-fenced world collapse before her very eyes. The lawyer husband, Dan Roe, left her after what she thought was 20 happy years of marriage for his impossibly perky, neurotic, and unfortunately pregnant assistant, Deb. The cherry on top of this bitter sundae was the pregnancy of Karen's then 16-year-old daughter Brooke and her decision to marry her high school basketball star boyfriend, Lucas Scott. Rounding out the happy brood is teenage 12-year-old Peyton, who continues to greet puberty with venom, and 8-year-old son Matt. Can their lives possibly make it back to somewhat normality.

I'm A Survivor

Chapter One Counseling

"I don't see why we have to come to this place, I could be with my friends or something right now" complained 16 year old Brooke Roe to her parents. They were sitting in a waiting room at a family psychiatrist's office.

"Because your father here cannot seem to remember how old he is and wants to go around acting like a child" her mother Karen said sarcastically.

"Haha very funny, well maybe if your mother would learn to quit nagging everybody, then maybe just maybe" Dan Roe started but before he could finish he was interrupted by the doctor calling their name.

"Soo lets start with introductions who wants to start" the doctor named Amanda Caldwell asked?

"I don't even get why we are here" Brooke complained once more.

"Because can't you tell our family is a bunch of psychos duh Barbie" 12 year old Peyton said mockingly to mess with her sister.

"Very funny freak, Barbie has blonde hair no way could I be Barbie although I am pretty like her so, so duh to you" Brooke said trying to sound smart but ended up just helping Peyton make her point of how ditzy Brooke could be.

"So what about you what's your name" Amanda asked the dark haired young boy?

"Matt" the 8 year old said.

"Okay um so the court ordered you to come to me for counseling what is going on" Amanda said turning her attention to Karen and Dan?

"Well my husband is going through a mid life crisis and needs to come home and stop seeing that doorknob assistant of his. He needs to be a man and come home to help me raise his three kids" Karen said.

"Deb isn't a doorknob at least she appreciates me and doesn't nag" Dan said angrily.

"Well she would if she were married to you for twenty years" Karen said.

"See I told you my family is psycho" Peyton said.

"Put your phone away" Matt exclaimed!

All the attention shifted from Peyton to Matt and Brooke. "Shut up ya little snitch" Brooke said.

"Brooke Penelope, put the phone away now…I am so sick of this does nobody want to act normal in this family anymore" Karen yelled upset.

"What do you mean normal Karen" Amanda asked?

"Normal, Dan is acting like a child, Brooke is so boy crazy and ditzy she doesn't care about anything but her social life now a days, Peyton hates the whole world, and Matt well he is the only one who is still maintained some normality" Karen said.

"So its change that is upsetting you" Amanda said as if she had just made a major breakthrough.

"Duh" Peyton, Karen, and Dan all said at the same time. "That and the fact that she doesn't have control over me anymore" Dan said.

"Dan shut your mouth for once, I just want you to act your age and get over this dumb mid life crisis" Karen said upset.

"Well I think we have had about enough for one session, how about we meet again in one week same time" Amanda said.

-Brooke POV-

I sat there in the councleing room looking from my parents to my siblings. Ya no duh I cared only about my social life. It's the only thing stable I have to turn to. My parents never ever stop fighting and to be honest it sucks.

I just want my dad to come home for things to be how they used to be but no it's not like that is going to be happening. To top it all off, I am going through things too, things maybe I wouldn't be going through had my parents paid a little bit more attention to me and less bickering back and forth together.
