Please read and review. It really encourages me to continue writing. Constructive critism is always accepted along with ideas for future chaps. However I'd appreciate it if everyone didn't keep telling me I'm bad with grammar and spelling…I already know I suck at he two. I don't have spell check either so that doesn't help the matter much.
I hope you enjoy my new chapter….I'm trying really hard to at least ud 1 chapter to each of my stories before I go up north on Friday because I am unsure if I'll have computer access up there. So that means you'll have to wait 2 weeks before I ud another one of my chapters unfortunately. I'm sorry…
I know I said this story was based after the episode where Brooke cheated with Chris but I forgot to mention Keith doesn't story so return in my so far there is no Keith.
i would have had ud earlier however fanfiction was acting weird..im sorry...i hop you think the wait was worth it
"What in the hell are you kids doing in my cabin?" yelled a not so nice guy with a shotgun pointed at the freaked teens. "I'm tired of you vandalizing kids messing up my home. I don't go messing up yours so stay the hell away from mine. But no you kids have to break my windows; you kids have to steal my stuff, nasty everything with you're sexual behavior." He looked at Nathan who was surrounded by 2 young beautiful girls and many assumptions went through his mind. "Well not this time. Not this time!"
The man's poor speaking skills could easily be written off as another southern accent. A small toothpick lay in the corner of his mouth with dripping saliva coming from the tip. His hair was nothing but a mop, obviously not combed a lot! His body was what you call on the overweight side; resembling a beer belly. He didn't really appear to take care of himself much. What grossed the girls out the most was a large scar on this left cheek. It was a big gash that spread from his ear all the way down to his chin, appearing to be pussy and not cleansed.
"Hey look Mr. were not her to destroy you're property or damage anything," Insured Nathan. "Our car broke down up the road and it was freezing outside so we needed shelter. We never intended on changing anything about you're home we just needed to get out the cold."
The old man kept his gun in place. He wasn't sure if he believed them quite yet. "How do I know your not just jocking me?" he asked suspiciously.
"If you look up the road you will see our car and everything, it's there I swear," promised Haley. "Please don't shoot us."
The old man sighed and lowered his gun. "Fine but you guys pull any funny stuff and I'll shoot," he threatened. "I'm not messing around with you kids anymore. I'm tired off all this crap I've been given."
"We promise," Nathan swore.
Both girls took a deep breath as the man put the rifle on the ground and stepped over to the door.
"Joey you can come in now," He yelled outside.
Meanwhile…
"Lucas come on you have to try and stand," Brooke said trying to pull him up by his arms.
Lucas groaned as his legs stiffened up. He tried standing but he just felt extremely weak. He couldn't manage to stand. His arms and legs were already starting to shake and his fingers and toes were beginning to turn purple. He was also feeling really horrible because Brooke was out there with him. She didn't need to be freezing her ass off on the count of him.
Brooke flopped down on the cold snow next to him. She brushed some of the fallen snow from her face and stared him in the eyes.
Lucas tried to focus on her face but things were already beginning to turn blurry and he was being over whelmed with dizzy spells. "Go Brooke," he whispered.
"I wont leave you here to freeze to death," she promised. "You're coming with me."
"Brooke I can barely feel my legs anymore," stated Lucas. You have to go without me because there is no way I'm going to be able to walk all the way back. There is no point for you to freeze to death here with me."
"I can't just leave you here though," she began crying.
"Hey I'll make it ok, it will easier on me if I know you're ok," he said rubbing a stray tear from her cheek and kissing her on the forehead softly.
"Can't you try and walk, please," pleaded Brooke still in tears.
"I can't stand up and I don't know why Brooke," croaked Luke. His throat felt like it was about to tear open because it was so dry. His legs and fingers were begging to fell numb and he had this intense pounding in his chest. He could barley focus on what was ahead of him let alone walk half a mile back to the cabin.
He was coming up short for breaths, which was nothing unusual considering how he had been feeling since the roadtrip from hell began. The worst part of it was that as the minutes passed he was losing more and more feeling in his legs. At first he just couldn't stand on them, now and eerie numbness began working it's way up his body.
Brooke looked at his feet which were beginning to turn purple her's were a bluish shade as well. She couldn't understand why he couldn't walk. What was wrong with her Broody? What was wrong with the father of her unborn child? She prayed he was the father and not some scum like Chris.
"I'm scared to leave you, I don't want to come back and you not be ok," she cried. "I could never forgive myself for leaving you like this."
Lucas gripped her face with both hands so that she was staring directly into his eyes. "Brooke I'm begging you, No I'm making you go back. I wont watch you freeze to death for me."
Brooke looked to the side instead of in his eyes. Lucas let go of her face.
"You can't make me," hissed Brooke. "My mind is set I'm not leaving you alone."
"Fine then I'm begging you Brooke," pleaded Lucas. "I will do anything in the world for you afterwards if you just go back." begged Lucas. "I can't sit her and watch you suffer, please go and get help. Go back to the cabin and get warm. Don't make we watch you freeze to death for me."
"Lucas…" Brooke began but Lucas cut her off.
"Please go Brooke," he said breaking out in sobs. "Please, Please, Please!" A flood of tears began pouring out his eyes for the first time in a while. "I know we haven't been close lately but I love you Brooke. I love you so much I can't stand it anymore. I wasn't mad at you for sleeping with Chris I was mad at you because you didn't love me back. That's all I wanted was for you to love me as much as I loved you. I love you too much to watch you freeze out here. Please! Please! Please, go back. Don't make me have to worry if you're ok." A steady stream of tears fell down his eyes and blurred up his vision even more. He gave her a sad and pleading look.
She was speechless at his outburst, she didn't know how to take his sudden flood of tears. His words just reached out at her heart. He was indeed the love of her life, no doubt in her mind. "I'll go if you promise me something," proposed Brooke.
"Anything," swore Lucas.
Meanwhile…
Larry drove the way with Karen and Debb as passengers. Three parents worried franticly for their children. Most of the ride was silent due to the amount of tension clouding their thoughts.
"So how far up is this place?" asked Debb from the back seat.
"It's about a four hour drive," responded Larry not taking his eyes off the icy road ahead. "Did you try and call the kids again? He asked.
"No reception," answered Debb. "I tried billions of times."
Karen sat silent in the passengers seat. A mixture of worry and guilt had her all upset.
"Karen you ok?" asked Larry realizing her quietness.
She didn't respond at first, she just looked down at the floor.
"Karen?" repeated Debb concerned for her friend.
"You know I didn't say goodbye to him this morning," confessed Karen. "I've been so busy with this whole election business that I haven't really been talking to him lately. I don't know how he's been in school, I don't know if her worked things out with Brooke, I don't know how he's doing in basketball. I don't even know if my son is ok." She was on the verge of breaking down. She loved Lucas with every strand of her body, he was al she really had.
"Karen don't beat you're self up about that, he knows you love him," insured Larry taking her hand in his."Lucas is a good kid you should be proud of him. I doubt anything bad happened to any of them, we're probably just being overprotective parents. So chin up and don't think about that ok."
Karen smiled at how much of a gentleman Larry was. He was always a good person to talk to.
Debb quietly chuckled as Larry took Karen's hand. Talk about shalont huh?
Well were coming up to rocky cavern in about 2 miles and then another 7 miles and we hit the bridge," explained Larry. "It's not too much further from there."
Meanwhile…
"You kids gotta get out of here," warned the old man.
"Why what's wrong?" asked Peyton.
"Well the constructers of the Damn underneath the bridge said due to the large amount of rainfall and snow here," the damn is giving loose. "It's been raining so much and there is so much water in the damn that it can't hold it all."
"What?" shrieked Nathan.
"You heard me kid," snapped the old guy. "Bye the way my name is Adam." He held out a hand for him to shake.
Nathan complied and shook his hand. 'My names Nathan, this is Peyton and Haley," he said pointing at the girls. "Our two friends took off in the woods and we have to get them, they're Lucas and Brooke."
"Why did they take off?" questioned Adam starting to pack some of his valuables up from the cabin and put them in a big duffel bag.
"We had a little argument," avoided Nathan.
"So why are you packing up?" asked Haley.
Adam turned around and looked at her with a "what are you stupid" look. "Are you kids deaf of something I said the damn was going to break and we have to get out of here."
"Were in danger here?" asked Haley just starting to catch on.
"We'll duh," mocked Adam. Were in the path of the damn. When it breaks it will be headed down these winding roads."
"Oh my god," freaked Peyton. "Oh my god."
"I just came back to get some of my possessions," told Adam. "Where is that kid of mine?"
"Outside I think," answered Nathan.
'I swear kids these days are lazy," he complained.
"Can we get a ride back with you?" requested Haley.
"Yeah please?" asked Peyton.
Adam looked at the frantic kids and sighed. "I suppose, but the is no room really unless you ride on the flatbed in back of my truck."
"That's fine!" agreed Nathan.
"We have to get our friends though," remembered Haley. "We can't leave Lucas and Brooke."
"Well that's a problem you'll have to solve on your own because I'm not waiting," barked Adam. "I don't know when the damn is going to let loose so I'm not going to be waiting here to find out. Just because your friends want to be dumb ass's and wander off doesn't mean I should have to pay the price for it."
"We can't leave them Nathan," whined Haley. "I won't leave without them."
Nathan sighed. "How long will you be here Adam?"
"Not long," replied Adam.
"Please Mr., give us at least 20 minutes to find them," begged Haley. "Please."
Adam rolled his eyes. "You kids are nothing but a pain in the ass, I swear."
"Please," asked Nathan. "My brother…. he's…he's out there."
Adam sighed. "I won't wait,"
"Please," Haley begged taking his hands in hers. "I'm begging you Mr.…"
Adam sighed he always had a soft spot for the girls… A woman alone holds more power of persuasion then a whole group of men with knifes and guns. Most women can get themselves out of any situation.
"You got 15 minutes no more." He looked her in the eyes and smiled then quickly pulled back his hand trying to keep up his grump act…" You aren't back by then and I'm gone."
"Good enough," agreed Nathan.
"Well times a wasting I'd get going now." yelled Adam.
"Yes of course," Nathan said grabbing Haley's hand and taking off. Peyton followed close behind.
"Thanks, Mr.," hollered Haley out the door.
"The name is Adam," he shouted back at Haley.
"Teenagers these days," he mumbled under his breath. "Joey get you're ass in this house now." He screamed one last time.
Meanwhile…
Brooke took off running through the snow…her little legs carried her as fast as they could. With her love for Lucas and the promise he made her she could do this! She had to do this for Lucas! She wasn't going to come back to a dead body…she refused it.
As she ran she remembered some of the last things he told her….
"Take this necklace…I've been wearing it since I was 7 on and off…it's like my lucky charm," he said smiling at her. His smile alone could melt the coldest of hearts if he wanted to. He lifted the hair up from her neck and clamped the necklace in back of her…
"Now it will bring you good luck."
"I'm not the one who needs it though," Brooke said pouting.
"Hey why the sad face?" he questioned. "Don't you like it?"
"I fell like you're saying goodbye to me, like I'll never see you again," Brooke said beginning to tear up.
"Hey no more water works ok," asked Lucas. "I've cried enough for the both of us." He said feeling really embarrassed for his outburst before.
"You promised right?" confirmed Brooke for a second time."
"I promise, again and again," swore Lucas. "Now go Cheery."
Brooke hugged him tightly and tried as hard as she could to hold back the tears that swelled in her eyes.
He didn't accept he hug but instead kissed her hard and long. It was the first time they kissed in a while! He took in her lips as if they were a once in a lifetime coupon. He made sure he got it in and that it was one of one of the steam infested sexiest kisses they ever shared. After all who knows it might be there last!
Brooke wrapped her hands around his neck and broke free from the kiss. She had her forehead pressed against his as she looked in his eyes one last time.
"Now go Brooke, and don't look back," he insisted.
Brooke released him from her grip and got up. She looked down at him and clamped the pendant on the necklace he gave her firmly. " I Love you Lucas."
Lucas smiled trying to hide the fact he was scared shitless. "And I you."
Brooke turned and went running full speed through the woods. Tears streaming down her eyes and falling on the cold snow beneath her bare feet.
Brooke had to get help she refused to let him die!
Meanwhile
Karen sat patiently along with Debb. Larry was rambling on about non-important things to keep off the subject.
"So how are you and that Keith guy doing?" pried Larry a tad bit interested.
"Oh, he's fine he's engaged to this woman named Jules though," she said sadly.
"Really that sucks," Larry remarked a little on the joyous side, "I'm so sorry for you. "
"Then why are you smiling?" Debb said butting herself into the conversation.
Larry whipped the grin off his face. "Oh I was just trying to put a comforting smile on my face," lied Larry.
"Uh huh," mumbled Debb.
Larry turned around and looked at her. "What are you insinuating Debb?" he asked.
"Oh nothing, " she laughed. "Just seams like you two are pretty close."
"Karen and me are just friends," insisted Larry. "Right Karen?"
Karen didn't respond…
"Right Karen?" Larry said still eying Debb but secreatly happy Karen didn't jump at the chance to shout yes!
"WATCH OUT!" screamed Karen from the front seat and they came up to a jam of cars up the road. Cars were lined up in a straight line behind the bridge.
Larry slammed on the breaks…….squeak….squeak…"Ahhh"….
Cliffhangers he he he,
What was the promise Lucas made Brooke? Is the Damn going to break? Will Nathan and the girls find Luke and Brooke in fifteen minutes before Adam leaves without them? Is Joey a boy or a girl? Did the lovely parents of Tree hill get into an accident….he he he..
Most of all will Lucas be ok?
