Here is another update this story is almost done. Thank you for the continued support.
Brooke woke to the soft rain hitting the window. Brooke sighed as she looked at the clock on the night stand it was only three am she had only gotten about two hours of sleep and was more anxious about Pete coming home. Getting up she decided to grab a glass of water. Brooke grabbed her crutches and hobbled into the kitchen. Grabbing a glass she filled it with water and finished it placing it in the sink she turned and saw Pete walk in. "Thought I told you to get to sleep." He said as he pulled off his jacket and threw his keys to the counter. "I couldn't sleep. I was worried about you." She said watching his movement. "Well I'm home babe. What's wrong?" he asked pulling her in for a hug. Brooke lifted her head her eyes filled with tears pouring down her cheeks. "I just don't want to wake up to find that you're dead. Pete I don't want you to go to the wharf." She said. Pete pulled her cradling her head. "'I have to go Brooke. It's my brother who is in the hospital. It was you he put in the hospital. I can't let him get away with that." He said pulling away. Brooke sniffed as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm okay Pete. I'm just scared." She said leaning against the counter.
Pete walked over to her placed a kiss on her lips. Brooke locked her arms around his neck as he pulled him closer. Pete deepened it making moan as he shoved his hands under her shirt. Both ended up in their room. Brooke pulled his shirt over his head tracing the United Hammers tattoo he had on his chest. Pete smiled as he nibbled on her neck. Giggling she sat up so that Pete could pull her shirt off. Pete and Brooke stared at each other. "I love you Brooke Davis." He said caressing her cheek. Brooke smiled. "I love you Pete Dunham." She said as he leaned in. Both Brooke and Pete finished in the early morning.
Pete woke up early to see Brooke still sleeping soundly. Grabbing his jacket he walked to the living room and sat down looking at the clock he saw that it was time to go. Before leaving he walked into the bedroom. "I'm sorry babe. I love you." He said as he kissed her forehead. Pete grabbed his keys and proceeded toward the wharf.
Brooke woke to her cell vibrating on the bedside table. Sitting up she grabbed the sheet with her she look over to see that Pete was gone. "No Pete." She said as she grabbed her phone. "Yeah?" she asked. "Brooke its Shannon is Matt there?" she asked. Brooke stood up ignoring the pain in her leg. "No he isn't where, are you?" she asked grabbing her stuff. "I'm at my house do you want me to wait for you?" she asked. Brooke grabbed her ran down the stairs and out the door. "Yeah, I'm on my way." She said as she ran to Shannon's.
Shannon opened the door to see Brooke rounding the corner. "When was the last time you saw him?" she asked on the verge of tears. "I'm not sure I went into the kitchen to call the cab company and I came back the door was opened and he was gone." She said as she pulled Ben into the car. Brooke got into the passenger seat. "Don't worry we'll find him I promise." She said. Brooke nodded. The two sat and looked out the window wondering where they were. Brooke wondered what if her life would have been simpler if she had not met Pete or if Pete hadn't saved her from Felix. Sighing she hid the tears from Shannon as she looked out the window for any sign of the GSE.
Brooke looked out the window to see the two firms going at one another. "Shannon, stop here." She said. "What why?" she asked. "Stop the fucking car now!" she screamed. Shannon stopped as she raced out of the car and toward the fighting men. Brooke reached the end to see Matt getting the shit kicked out of him. Brooke looked to see Pete being beaten with a cosh. Brooke stared in shock as Bovver helped him out by attacking Tommy. "Me old mate, Bovver, you never could turn down a good scrap." Pete said seemingly in pain. "You know me, bruv. Come on, get him up!" Bovver said as he and Matt helped Pete up off the ground. Pete screamed out in pain as they helped him to the side of the wharf.
Pete, Matt and Bovver watched as the two firms continued to kick the shit out each other. Brooke made her way over. "Pete!" she shouted as she came into view of all three men. "Brooke? Get out of here." He screamed. "No." she said as she got closer she could see that he was in need of a hospital. "What hurts?" she asked as she helped support his weight with the help of Matt. "Everything", He said. "We need to get out of here." Matt said looking over to see Shannon parked on the other side of the street. "Let's go." Matt said. Bovver took the place of Brooke as she ran ahead of them. Brooke opened the door as the three guys came closer. "Bov, wanna make up for what you've done? Get the boys out of here." Pete said winching as Matt tried to get him in the car. Bovver nodded as he placed him into the car and ran off to get the rest of the boys out of trouble.
Matt and Brooke waited at the hospital to know if Pete was okay. "I'm going to the bathroom Matt." She said as Brooke walked to the bathroom. Brooke walked to the sinks and threw the water in her face. Looking at her hands she could see Pete's blood on her hands. Brooke felt the tears flow down her cheeks as she slid down the edge of the stalls and pulled her knees to her chest making it for her breath. Brooke looked up to see a girl walk in. "Oi I'm sorry love I didn't see you." She said. Brooke whipped the tears away hastily. "It's okay I'm fine." She said as she washed her hands and proceeded her way back to Matt. Matt saw Brooke and got up. "You okay?" he asked. Brooke nodded as she sat down and waited for the doctor to give them an update on Pete's condition.
Brooke fell asleep while Matt stayed awake. Matt woke her as Pete's doctor came closer to them. Is there anyone here for Pete Dunham?" He asked. Matt shook Brooke awake. The two of them walked closer to the doctor. "Yeah, we know Pete." Matt said. "Come with me." The doctor said. Brooke looked at Matt before following the doctor. Both sat down. "Pete came in with some pretty bad injuries. He's got a dislocated arm and leg, some pretty bad bruised ribs. He had some internal bleeding but we were able to fix that and he has a bad concussion. All in all he's lucky." The doctor explained. Brooke and Matt felt a relief. "He can see visitors tomorrow." The doctor said as he left Brooke and Matt.
It had been a few days since Pete was admitted to the hospital. Brooke had been the first to see him but he was pretty groggy from the antistesia they had given him. Brooke walked into his room to see him up from his bed and dressed. "What are you doing?" she asked. Pete turned around. "I can't just lie in that bloody bed all day I'll go fucking insane." He said. Brooke giggled. "Baby you're getting out today." She said as she sat on the bed. Pete smiled. "So are you staying here with me?" he asked. Brooke thought a moment, did she want to return to Tree Hill or stay happy with Pete. "I think I might stay here." She said as she kissed him firmly on the lips. Pete deepened it laying Brooke on the bed. "Not here." She said sitting back up. "Fine, but when we get home I expect a lot of loving." He said as he got up. Brooke and Pete walked to the apartment.
