AN: Thanks for all the lovely reviews! I love them. Keep them up! I personally love this story and it's the easiest for me to write!

Enjoy, Chapter 2!

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill. But I do own the plot!

"I'm sorry, now, there is a robber on the lose. Have you seen him?" a police man asked. Brooke remained silent and wanted to do nothing more than scream. "Miss?" he asked as she didn't answer.

"No, I haven't seen him," Brooke answered. The police man eyed her.

"Miss, if you have seen him, wink," the police man said as he whispered.

"As I said before, I have not seen him. You caught me off guard, I was on my way to a friend's house," Brooke lied. She shifted uneasily.

"Here's my card," the police man said as he left. Brooke drove off to the front of the apartment. Lucas hopped in.

"What did you say?" Lucas asked as Brooke sped off.

"Nothing," she answered quietly.

"What did you say?" Lucas asked as he pulled out his gun. Brooke stared at it.

"I told him I was on my way to a friend's house," Brooke answered. Lucas laughed.

"Thank you," Lucas said.

"Put the gun away," Brooke said softly. Lucas put the gun in his pocket. "What do you want from me?"

"I needed a ride," Lucas said.

"So, you don't need me, just my car?" Brooke asked. She wanted to get away from this loon.

"No, you my dear, are my hostage," Lucas snickered. Brooke gulped and looked at him sadly.

"Bu-but…ugh…," Brooke trailed off. Lucas looked at her, his cold face softened.

"Pull over and let me drive," Lucas said in a demanding tone. Brooke nodded and got out of the car. She walked slowly away and she glanced at Lucas. He wasn't looking! ESCAPE! Brooke ran down the street as fast as she could.

"Hey, get back here," Lucas said as he chased after her. Brooke screamed as he grabbed her around her waist. He threw her over his shoulder and walked slowly to the car.

"Let me go," Brooke squealed. Lucas put her in the car and pulled a gun to her head. "Please," she said as the tears ran down her cheek. The street light touched Brooke's face and Lucas gasped. He hadn't looked at her before. She was beautiful. Lucas pulled the gun away and drove off.

"Don't ever leave," Lucas said. Brooke nodded.

"I'm sorry," Brooke said as she buried her head in her hands. Lucas watched as her body heaved up and down. Lucas stopped the car. Brooke glanced at a small trailer out in the middle of nowhere.

"Grab my hand and don't let go," Lucas ordered. Brooke grabbed his hand after they got out of the car. Squeak, the sound of them walking up the small stairs. Lucas slowly opened the door and entered the tiny trailer. Brooke walked in and followed him. Her eyes widened as she saw the sight infront of her. On a small couch a woman laid, she was just staring off into space, as if she was dead. She slowly, steadily walked over to him.

"Mom," Lucas said as he grabbed her hand. The woman, at a snail's pace, turned her head to face her son.

"Lucas," she said hoarsely. She glanced at Brooke, curiously.

"That's Brooke, she means no harm. Take this money," Lucas placed the wad of cash in her hand. "And get help."

"Lucas, how in the world did you get this?" she asked inquisitively.

Lucas shrugged and responded, "It doesn't matter."

"Oh, but I think it does," a voice boomed. Lucas turned around to see a familiar face with his arms around Brooke.

"Let her go!" Lucas yelled as he followed him into a bedroom.

"Lucas," Brooke said softly. Sure he was her robber, but he had to a have a soft spot. Right?

"Dan, let her go, she has done no harm!" Lucas begged.

"You robbed a store, come here, and give your mama some stolen money!" Dan said.

"She needs help, Dan. She needs treatment," Lucas yelled.

"Keep your voice down!" Dan snapped.

"I don't see you getting off your ass and helping her," Lucas hissed. Dan chuckled.

"I have a job and slowly, I pay for her medicine," Dan said.

"Keyword, Dan, slowly. Mama is not gonna make it much longer. Cancer is a killing disease," Lucas spat.

"Don't come in here with your stolen money and think you are better than me!" Dan said.

"I didn't say that. I said that she is gonna die without help," Lucas said. Dan pressed a gun to Brooke's head.

"Take the money and get the hell out of here," Dan ordered. Lucas pulled out his gun and shot it!

BANG! A body hit the floor!

Brooke screamed and rushed into Lucas' arms. Lucas held Brooke's scared body. Dan lay on the bed, blood oozing from his arm. Brooke softly cried. What a day.

"Shhhhh…you're safe," Lucas whispered in her ear. "Come on, let's get out of here."

"You didn't kill him, did you?" Brooke asked once they got in the car.

"I just clipped him. Besides, the bastard pulled a gun to your head," Lucas said. Brooke smiled. Maybe he wasn't as bad as he seemed.

AN: Reviews are Love! Okay, I wanted to show Lucas' softer side and I think I did that without making him look like a softy! Lol. Hope you all liked it! Please, please, please, review!
