AN: Thanks for all the reviews. I love them! I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Enjoy, Loving you, Means I have To Do This!
Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill. But, I think after the second time, you get the point. Lol.
"No, you are our hostage," he answered.
"Like hell I am!" Brooke said. The door busted open and a gun was pointed to Brooke's head. Lucas' eyes widened.
"Let her go," Lucas ordered.
"Did you forget about our little deal, hmmm? The one we made seven years ago?" he snickered. Lucas's face hardened.
"Let her go, Darius, unharmed, and I will talk to you," Lucas said as he inched his way closer.
"We talk here and then, we will let her go," Darius snickered. Lucas nodded and walked towards them. Brooke just glanced at Lucas. He came back for her.
"Ok," Lucas said as he stood next to Brooke.
"You owe me one grand, Scott," Darius said.
"I have nine hundred dollars," Lucas said.
"Well, I paid for your mother's first operation; she's alive because of me. Now, where's my money?" he asked.
"I will give you the hundred, let me go to the teller and get the money," Lucas said.
"No, you had seven years, your times up," Darius said. He pulled the trigger.
BANG!
"Brooke!" Lucas yelled. Darius and his goon left. Brooke was bleeding in her stomach. Red blood oozed from her chest. Oh, god.
"Lucas," Brooke choked out. She was hurting badly. Lucas focused his eyes on her bloody chest.
"You need to go to the hospital," Lucas said as he grabbed his keys.
"No!" Brooke said as she yanked the keys out of his hands. Lucas looked at her confused.
"You need help," Lucas said as he picked them up with a huff.
"But the cops, they will get you," Brooke informed. Her voice quivered with worry.
"I know, but loving you, means I have to do this. I would rather have the death penalty, than sit here and watch you bleed to death," Lucas said as he gently picked her up. He ran to the elevator.
"Luke-"
"Shhhhh…save your breath. I love you and I'm getting you help," Lucas said as he ran to his car and placed her gently in the back. He sped off to the hospital. "I'm here, it's all right, nothing's going to happen to you," Lucas comforted.
Lucas pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. He jumped out of the car and held Brooke in his arms. He gulped, cops were at the entrance.
"Shit," Lucas mumbled. Brooke's eyes widened.
"Luke, no!" Brooke whimpered. Lucas held her tight against his body.
"I love you!" Lucas said as they approached the entrance.
"I love you and I'm not ready to lose you!" Brooke begged for him to stop. She cried in the nook of his shoulder.
"That's the guy who robbed the store in Tree Hill," a police man said. Brooke and Lucas cringed.
"She needs help," Lucas said.
"Grab the girl and throw his ass in jail," the police man ordered. Lucas opened the doors and ran threw the hospital. His eyes scanned the ICU sign. Brooke watched as the police man followed them.
"Ma' am, I need you to help her, she was shot," Lucas told a nurse. The nurse's eyes widened and brought out a stretcher. Lucas placed Brooke's body on it. The police tackled Lucas to the floor with a thud.
"Lucas!" Brooke screamed. Lucas felt defeated as the handcuffs were placed around his wrist.
"I love you," Lucas said as he was carted off to jail. Brooke sobbed.
"No!" she screamed. She was in pain, but her heartache more than her chest. She kicked her feet, trying to break out of this.
"Ma'am, we are going to have to knock you out," the nurse said. Brooke screamed in pain. She watched as the nurse put the mask over her head. One final thing ran through Brooke's mind, 'I know, but loving you, means I have to do this. I would rather have the death penalty, than sit here and watch you bleed to death.'
AN: Sorry that was short. I wrote the next chapter but I wanted to space the updates out. After all, I am on vacation. Lol. Review what you are thinking. Hope you enjoy the story.
