Author's Notes: I've started chapter three. A new character, one from the show, will be introduced.

Lucas Scott was getting worried. The Classics were over, and he had not heard from Brooke in some time. He knew from Peyton and Haley, that she was going to miss it, but he was expecting call. Once everyone made it to Tree Hill, the gang decided to go to New York, wanting to know what had happened with the fashion show and why Brooke hadn't contacted them.

Lucas drove, while Peyton Sawyer was in the passengers seat, Nathan Scott and Haley James Scott were in the back, cuddling.

"What do you think happened?" Haley asked, smiling. Thinking about one of her best friend's future.

"She won. How could she not?" Lucas questioned as he looked for any other cars around to change lanes.

"I'm going to call her," Peyton said, smiling softly. She marked Brooke's number and waited for it to go through.

One Tree Hill

Brooke's phone rang, but she made no move to answer it. She didn't even move. She had barely moved since the attack. She felt empty. She felt used. She didn't feel.

She sighed, and opened her eyes. She moved on the bed and groaned when she felt the pain on her body. She sighed and closed her eyes again, wanting to will her mind to go back to sleep.

One Tree Hill

"Look," Nathan told his friends as he pointed at the city they were nearing. Peyton would call Brooke every hour, but she still got no answer. Peyton and Haley told Lucas where to go, as he drove to Rogue Vogue. He smiled as he parked right in front. The four friends walked into the building, hoping to see Brooke, but they didn't see anyone.

The place was almost empty. Workers were taking the walkway down. Haley and Peyton walked to the lady in charge.

"Hey, have you seen Brooke Davis?" Peyton asked, remembering how the woman had talked to Brooke when they first arrived.

The woman frowned, before looking at the clipboard in front of her.

"Brooke Davis dropped out on Saturday. We have not seen her since then," she told the two teenage girls.

Haley and Peyton exchanged looks. They could not believe what they were hearing. They knew that if Brooke had dropped out, she would have been at the Classics, but she wasn't, and it worried them.

"Would you happen to know where she is staying?" Haley asked, her voice full of worry. The woman gave them an address and they headed out. Peyton and Haley told Nathan and Lucas what the woman had told them, and they went to the hotel room, where Brooke was staying.

One Tree Hill

Lucas knocked on the door, a smile on his face. It was wiped off when it opened and an older boy was standing in front of them. The boy was frowning, as he stared at the four friends.

"I'm sorry, we thought Brooke Davis was staying here," Haley told him, as she pulled Lucas away. Haley kept an eye on him, feeling like she knew him from somewhere.

They started to leave, but the boy stopped them. He looked back into the room, before looking at the four teens.

"You're Lucas Scott?" the boy asked, as he stared at the blond teen.

"Yeah, do you know Brooke?" he questioned, his voice hopeful. He had been worried ever since he heard about her dropping out of the competition, and not arrived at the Classics.

The boy nodded, as he sighed. "Look, something happened, and I can't tell you. Brooke will tell you, and you have to trust her. You have to be patient."

The four of them got even more worried. They didn't know what he was talking about, but they knew it was bad.

The boy signaled for them to follow him, as he led them into the room. He told them to be quiet as he walked towards the chair he had been resting in.

He was staying the room next to theirs. He was with his girlfriend, when he heard the crying. He decided to check. The door was unlocked, so he entered. He couldn't believe when he saw her lying down on the bed. His girlfriend was with him, and together, they did whatever they could to get her out of the bubble she was in. His girlfriend would sleep in their room, while he slept on the chair in Brooke's room.

Brooke was sleeping when they entered. They could see a bruise on her cheek, as they entered. Lucas clenched his fists. He wanted the person who hurt his girlfriend to pay.

"What happened?" Lucas hissed, glaring at the boy.

"I don't know for sure. I found her like this, well, worse, but I don't know either. You guess is as good as mine," he told the blond boy.

Haley and Peyton had tears in their eyes. They thought about what they assumed happened. In their heads, if they had stayed, they could have helped Brooke, they could have protected her, but they didn't, and now she was hurt.

Nathan looked at the guy. He saw that he looked tired, worn out, and worried. He had taken care of Brooke, and he was grateful for it.

"You're from here?" he asked, as Lucas, Haley, and Peyton neared the bed, to check on Brooke.

"No, but I'm moving to a little town with my girlfriend, Tree Hill in North Carolina," he told the star basketball player.

"We're from there too," Nathan told him, smiling.

"I know, Brooke told me. You're Nathan Scott, AKA Boy Toy. You're the star of the Tree Hill Ravens. You're married to Haley James Scott, AKA Tutor Girl," he said, shaking Nathan's hand.

"Brooke, baby," they heard Lucas whisper, as he knelt down in front of Brooke's face.

The boy and Nathan looked over, as they watched Brooke open her eyes. They all saw the fear in her eyes, as she sat up. The four friends gasped when they saw the blanket slip off the top of her body, and the bruises on her arms were out in the open.

"Brooke," he whispered, as he reached over to touch her, but she flinched away form him.

Brooke looked around the room, scared. She looked around the room, and her eyes stayed on the boy. "C-Clay," she whispered, as she tried to get away from Lucas and the girls.

Lucas stared at his girlfriend, not sure what was happening, and why she wanted Clay.

"Evans?" Haley and Peyton questioned, not knowing that the other girl knew him.

"How do you know him?" Nathan asked, frowning at his wife and his friend.

Peyton, Lucas, and Nathan looked at Haley for an answer. "Clay is dating my older sister, Quinn," she answered, as she gave him a small smile. Clay nodded, as he held Brooke close.

Haley, Lucas, and Nathan then turned to look at Peyton. "Clay is Brooke's older half-brother."
