A/N: I really like this chapter. It's a lot more interesting than the first. The first was just a set up for what's to come. I hope you like this, cause I worked on it a while debating wether or nor for Brooke to open about talking about it or for Brooke to still hesitate some. I don't know. I think I chose the right path. Please; read, review, and enjoy.

After Lucas had got Brooke to stop crying she was exhausted, and had fallen asleep in his arms. Lucas didn't mine this, it meant Brooke was safe from whatever or whoever had hurt her so bad.

When Lucas woke up then sun was shinning through the window down on him. He looked at Brooke still asleep so peaceful, so safe. That's all he could think about was what had hurt her, he didn't know yet, but he would, and he would help anyway he could.

Lucas felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, he tried pulling it out without disturbing Brooke and was successful. He answered it and tried talking as silently as possible "Hello?" He asked into his phone. "Lucas, it's Peyton. I'm worried about Brooke. I went over to her house yesterday, and she didn't answer the door, and I've tried calling her a billion times and she won't answer. I'm scared." "Peyt, it's bad, really bad, I don't know. You need to come to Brooke's house. The doors unlocked come in." Lucas hung up the phone. He looked around worried and then down at the sleeping girl. He gently patted the top of her head.

Not long after the phone call the door opened. A distressed Peyton walked threw. Lucas motioned with his hands for her to be quiet. She gently shut the door and looked at the two. Peyton helped Lucas wiggle out of Brooke's grasp without disturbing her. They both walked into the kitchen, and Lucas explained the story of what he knew to her. Peyton looked heartbroken.

"Lucas, I feel bad. Why didn't I walk in yesterday? Why did I have to be polite, and go away when she didn't answer?" She started to cry. Lucas hugged her in comfort. "Hey. Hey. We don't know anything's seriously wrong with her. This could be nothing." "But from what you said Luke, it's defiantly something." Lucas didn't say anything, he just stood there holding Peyton.

He knew it was something Brooke never cried unless it was serious. The few times Brooke had cried in front of him they had been such serious matter that someone should've been crying. There was noise.

They both looked up at the same time. They had heard something. Something like someone crying, other than Peyton. They both ran into the living room, where Brooke was now awake, crying, tears streaming down her face. Peyton couldn't stand to look at her best friend like this. Lucas couldn't stand it either, he sat down on the couch next to her, and cuddled her into a ball in his arm. Brooke grabbed his hand in a death grip and wasn't letting go. Peyton tried her best to sooth her.

After a few minutes the tears were now at a low, but Brooke wasn't letting go of her grasp. Peyton tried to ask what was wrong, but the silence was too awkward to brake it, but to Brooke it was just what she needed. She needed to be curled up in a ball in someone's arms that were going to protect her, someone who was going to keep away the evils of this world. Lucas could do that.

Lucas tightened his grip on her. "Brooke……" He started. Good, Peyton thought. Someone broke the silence. There was no reply from Brooke. "Brooke, what happened to you?" Brooke broke down in tears again.

How am I ever going to get anywhere, if I can't even say what happened? She thought in between sobs, and hysterics.

A/N: I have a few questions for you:
1) How do you want Brooke to go about telling everyone?
2) Should Lucas and Brooke get together through all this?
3) Who should she tell first? Peyton or Lucas?
4) Do you guys have an idea who want to be the rapist? It can be someone who's already been introduced on the show, like Felix, Chris, etc………Not saying they are them, but someone who's already been created or someone completely new? Let me know.

Thanks. Please review, and let me know what ya think. Thanks. =)
