Security blocked the door. No one was going in or out of that room unless you were a memeber of the police, the hospital, or an estranged parent that no one knew about. Everyone was starting to leave and the last people left in the lobby outside of Brooke's room was Lucas and Karen. But even as people were leaving, questions loomed over everyone's heads.

Was Brooke going to be okay?

Who were these parents?

Were they going to take her away?

What was going to happen to Richard and Victoria?

Would they get to see Brooke at all?

Was this all a dream?

She was scared out of her mind. All she wanted was out of this hospital, in Lucas' bedroom wearing his sweater as Karen cooked her lunch. Then she'd meet Haley and Peyton at the Rivercourt to watch Lucas and Nathan play basketball with Mouth announcing every detail. That's how things should be. Instead she was in the middle of a horror story. New parents, new home, new name, new life. She was Brooke Davis in every sense of the word. Not Abagail Williams, whoever that was. This had to be a mistake. It all just had to be a dream.

But it was a brand new day, and she just had to be positive. Or at least put on a fake brave face to keep everyone else happy. While she was a happy person, excited to meet her real family for the first time in years, she was screaming on the inside. Begging for a way out.

A knock on the door revealed yet another nurse. She unplugged machines and turned things off and took out tubes. "You're all ready to go home then Miss. Williams whenever your parents get here to release you."

That was it. She was now and forever a Williams and no longer a Davis. It was a scary thought and she didn't want to think about it. But the door shut and she was left all alone again. Wishing everything was back to normal. Another knock on the door revealed a skinny little awkward man in a suit. He announced himself as a counselor but all she heard was 'I'm a shrink and you're crazy, come back to reality.'

"Now, Miss. Williams i'm hear to talk to you about your new life. It may seem a little crazy right now but-"

"I'm not talking to anyone about anything. And my name is Brooke Davis, not Abagail, not Miss. Williams, not Abagail Williams or any other form of the two words!"

"Look i'm sorry, but I can't leave. We have to talk about what happened the night you were kidnapped."

"I was not kidnapped! I don't know why everyone keeps saying that because i've been here my whole life!"

Then the counselor pulled out files and plastic baggies from his suitcase. "I'm not supposed to show you these but I don't think you'd believe me otherwise."

"What is all this?" She asked as she went through all the papers and looked at the bags.

"Your file. You were abducted when you were only two years old from your actual home in Pheonix, Arizona. Your real parents tried to fight them off but they weren't strong enough and they were drugged. Richard and Victoria stalked the house for weeks beforehand, or at least that's what the police believe. Search and rescue went on for weeks and weeks but after so long everyone lost hope. They thought you were gone forever. And once you were in North Carolina with Richard and Victoria, they had nearly brainwashed you since you were so young. You were too young to remember anything and they took advantage of that, and soon enough you were no longer Abagail, but Brooke. It was almost the perfect crime, until your accident a few days ago. If you hadn't of gotten hurt, you would have never known the real truth."

She sat there silent. From reward flyers, pictures of her as a baby, her shoe she must have lost in the struggle to get her out. It was all true. "This has got to be a dream." She said as tears started to roll down her hazel eyes.

"Unfortunately, no. I know it's crazy, and it seems like something out of a movie, but this happens alot."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Well the first step is to meet your parents. We will have regular sessions to help with the transition and I think they'll will probably want to take you back to Arizona with them."

"Do I have to?"

"Well no. You're 18 now, and legally as an adult you can do whatever you want. You can go with them or stay here as far as anyone is concerned. But you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do."

"I think I need to be alone right now."

He stood up from his seat and nodded. "Understandable." He started to recollect all the pictures and bags of evidence but she stopped him wanting to look at them more. After he left he gave the doctor the okay for others to come in and see her until her parents arrived. He knew she'd need them more than anything to help with the transition from Brooke to Abagail, especially with her parents on the way.

Lucas and Karen were still the only ones left in the waiting room. He wasn't about to leave until he got to see her. After the doctor informed them it was okay to go see her, Karen called Haley to let her, Nathan, and Peyton know it was okay to come visit now but not for long.

Only one person was allowed in at a time and Lucas went first, naturally.

"Hey, Pretty Girl." As soon as he walked in she bursted in to tears and he ran over to her side to comfort her. He sat on her bed as she cried into his shoulder for a good 15 minutes before she started to calm down. "It's going to be okay."

"How do you know? These people could take me away forever and you'd never see me again!"

"We don't know that yet." He said as he kissed her forehead. "And we will figure that out together when the time comes. Until then you just need to relax. I'll be here as long as you are."

"Thanks, Luke." She smiled and leaned up to kiss him but was interrupted by a knock on the door. Haley, Nathan, Peyton, Mouth and Rachel all came in. They brought flowers, clean clothes, makeup, cards, and a giant stuffed teddy bear.

"Aww, you guys!" Brooke was ecstatic to see all her friends but it was stopped short when a nurse came in and told them they all had to go but at least one could stay. Since Lucas already got some time it was decided to let Haley stay. After talking for a few minutes the door opened to a beautiful couple holding flowers and a picture frame.

"Are you Brooke?"

She nodded slowly a little confused as to what was going on. "She's Heather and I'm Justin. We're your parents."

Once upon a time, there was a brave girl about to face a brand new world. Whether or not she wanted to, is a completely different story.
