AN: Wow thank you for the lovely reviews! I greatly appreciate it. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It's one we've all been waiting for..Will the lovely Brooke Davis please stand up? Lol..anyway without further ado, enjoy! And don't forget to read and review :)


It's been a long day. A very emotional day. I must have cried at least a dozen times. Especially when Hales came to visit. Just thinking about her and that gorgeous husband of hers makes me want to shed a few tears.

"Aghh Tigger!" Comes a voice I've been dying to hear. The occupant of that voice, if you can believe it or not, comes jumping up on the bed and lands in my arms. "Oh Tigger, I'm so glad to see you!" She says, her voice shaky.

"Hales be careful" I can hear Nathan say in the background. "You can't go jump.." he starts but fails to finish when he sees his ecstatic wife clinging to the girl that quickly became her very best friend, you probably could say sister, with her dear life.

"Oh tutor wife, I am so happy to see you too. And still pregnant, good, you know you can't have that baby without me. But you should listen to your husband, he does have a point. You can't go hopping around all over the place." I giggle to her, but am secretly glad to be holding the mom to be in my arms.

"I'm fine, you two worry to much. Seriously." She says with a roll of her eyes towards her significant other. "He's basically got me under house arrest. The only place I was/am allowed to go is here, he couldn't keep me away from you anyway Brookie." She says with a bright smile to her face.

"No he couldn't especially now that I'm awake" I respond with an equally bright smile of my own, hugging her again and sending Nate a wink over the top of the honey colored blondes head. He smiles at me before excusing himself. "It really is great to see you awake Brooke" he says while giving me a hug. "I'm gonna let you two girls gossip and go find my brother." He says stepping out of the room to give us some privacy.

"We don't always 'gossip'!" I yell towards the now closed door. "Ha-Ha!" He responds in kind, before his footsteps fade away.

"So tutor wife now that we're 'alone'..." I say on a giggle. "What is going on with you and hotshot?" I ask with a look of concern. Her eyes flutter close and a single tear comes falling out. In that moment I would've done anything for the girl in front of me, if she would just not cry. I hate seeing her cry. It breaks my heart, especially when it has to do with her and her relationship with my other favorite Scott boy. I don't say anything more, I just cradle her into my arms and rub her back soothingly, and just let her cry her heart out. After all what are friends for?

She didn't get the chance to tell me exactly what was going on with her and Nate because we were interrupted by Mouth. It's alright though, I'll find out what's going on. Soon, if it's the last thing I do. I will not sit around and let those two throw away all the hard work they put into their relationship. No sir! They are the embodiment of what it means to be in love. I will not let that get ruined by anything.

At times I feel a little jealousy towards the young married couple. I wish I could find a great love like that too. I thought I had it, once. But I was wrong about that. He ended up being in love with my best friend. But that's okay, I'm okay with that. The boy I loved in love with the girl I love. I just hope that relationship lasts a good while, otherwise what I went through would've been in vain. And believe me it wasn't easy seeing those two together all the time. Actually it sort of hurt. Well okay, it hurt a lot. Which is why I found it odd that they weren't 'together' coming to see me. He wasn't even with her when she came to see me, I told her they didn't have to do that on my account. I'd rather see them together than apart. For the reasons I mentioned earlier.

"Brooke?" Comes a shy voice at my side. I look over and see a mass of curly blonde hair. "I'm sorry did I wake you?" She asks softly, with a worried look in her eye.

"Peyton? Oh my god, Peyton!" I manage to get out in between sobs. I reach for her and pull her into my arms. I am so happy my friend is fine. I love her so. "Oh Peyton I'm so happy to see you." I cry into her shoulder, no longer being able to be the 'strong' one. But that's how I am with her. Vulnerable. I've only ever been vulnerable with her and Lucas.

"Brooke, words cannot express the happiness I'm feeling at this very moment" she says, her voice muffled by sobs of her own. We sat there and cried for about a half an hour.

"So B. Davis it's about time you woke up. We've missed you, I missed you. I've been so lost without you. I thought you were dead, then I heard you take a breath, although shallow it was the most beautiful sound I ever heard." She says crying again into my shoulder.

I don't know what to say in that moment so I just gather her in my arms and lay with her on the bed. We laid there silently for hours. Just holding each other, crying at times, lost in our own thoughts, but safe in knowing we were together. After all if it wasn't for this girl I wouldn't be alive. Little did I know she was thinking the very same thing. Suddenly a rush of memories come back to me.

"It's not like Peyton, to miss this chance to be out with you Luke. You need to call her and if she doesn't answer, call again. If she still doesn't answer go over there and drag her skinny ass over here, kicking and screaming." I say with a wink towards that last remark.

"I tried calling her Brooke, she didn't answer. I am not going to bother her anymore. She is upset with me. I just need to give her time to cool off. She'll call me when she wants to speak with me. Come on let's go back to our friends." He says trying to tug me over to our table.

"I'll be there in a minute I just saw Bevin go towards the ladies room. I'm gonna talk with her for a sec, then make my rounds, head cheerleader and all. I'll be by soon. Save me a dance?" I ask with a tilt to my head and a glowing smile.

"Haha, of course Brooke Davis, I'd love to dance with you." He says with a bow before turning on his heel and making his way towards the table holding each of our friends. I glance after him, wishing things could be different, wishing we were here together. But that's not how things are. Something isn't right, it's been nagging me all night. I can't be here without my fake blonde best friend. It just isn't right, that she's not here with Luke. "Guess I need to take matters into my own hands. Since someone who should isn't" I mutter under my breath. I steal another glance towards our table and smile at what I see. Nate is holding Haley from behind she's staring up at him with stars in her eyes. Luke, laughing at something Mouth is saying. I look over a bit and see Skills dancing with Bevin not a care in the world, Fergie and Junk trying to spike the punch? WHAT? Now I didn't see that coming. HAHA! I laugh to myself and walk towards the double doors intent on bringing Peyton back. She needs to be here. Determination in every step I take.

"P. Sawyer?" I ask her sleeping form, she fell asleep 45 minutes ago, I could tell by her even breathing. "Despite all that's happened and all the time I've missed. I am so very glad I went to get you. Otherwise I fear you wouldn't be here with me now. I would've lost the only family I have." I say with a kiss on her head.

"P. Sawyer, please don't do this to me, you need to wake up. Please..Peyton get up. You can't be dead!" I freak out, Calm down Brooke, check her pulse. I do just that, I feel a strong beat, she's not dead! Oh thank god, she's just passed out. He hit her awfully hard. "Peyton, Peyton" I yell at her shaking her shoulders, "wake up, Peyton, snap out of it" I slap her cheeks. I tried waking her to no success, before I feel a pair of strong hands yank me up, hard.

"AGHHH! Let me go, you psychotic asshole." I yell at him, my voice even raspier due to yelling all night, and hit at his chest.

"Look what you made me do, you BITCH!" He yells with such force right into my face. Suddenly a sick look enters his eyes. "I love it when you yell at me like that, yeah hit me again." He says all the while dragging me over towards Peyton's room by the hair. OH GOD THE PAIN...He throws me on the bed and covers my body with his. Oh please, NO, please! Someone, anyone, HELP! Luke help me, please help me. I need you to save me now. I think to myself, all the while knowing he won't come. No one will come. Peyton's passed out in the hall, Luke is at the dance, It's just me and this Psycho and there's nothing I can do about it, he's going to take everything from me. I will be nothing when he's done. God just let it be quick, please just give me that.

"What Bitch? No pleading left in you? No fight? Awe that's not fair, I don't like it like that. Let's see what will give you your 'spirit' back." He says with a demonic laugh and a slap to my face. He's kissing me now, sucking, no biting on my neck. He just wants me to fight back. Well I won't, I won't give him what he wants. Which is very hard, because when your in this situation all you want to do is fight back. So I have to fight myself to not fight back. He's leaving a trail of kisses and bite marks down my body, it hurts so bad. "FIGHT BACK!" He screams at me as he punches my face a couple times.

I can feel his slimy hands on my thighs, he shoves my dress up to my waist and tears it away from my breasts. He bites my breasts, god it hurts so bad, and punches my thighs. He's yelling at me the whole time to fight him. The last straw is when he yanks my bra away from my body and I see a look of desire flash in his eyes at the sight of my bare breasts that I do start to fight, I can't let him rape me, I have to save myself, I can't let him touch me anymore.

"PEYTON! Please! P. Sawyer help me, Peyton please get up, Peyton! P. Sawyer..HELP ME!" I try one last time. As I kick and scream at him, determination to get away from this maniac. He's not making it easy though. He punches me right in the gut and that's when I see his man hood. Taunting me. OH GOD PLEASEEE! I think to myself as he touches my thighs with it. Before he can shove it into me, he falls over and Peyton is standing above me, helping me up. Oh god, thank you, thank you for sending me this angel.

"But I didn't lose you, you saved me P. Sawyer and I'll be forever greatful for that." I say towards her sleeping form before my eyes drift close as well.

"Ms. Davis, Brooke Davis, Ms. Sawyer" comes a voice, waking me from a nice sleep, all I know is I felt safe for the first time and I don't want it to go away.

"Yes? I'm up." I say towards the occupant of that voice. He's a burly man, with glasses, kind eyes. "Is there something I can do for you?" I ask him.

"Ms. Davis my name is Det. Daniels, there is something I need to speak to you and Ms. Sawyer about but before that could you please tell me your side of events on the night of April 13, 2007? The night of your prom?" He says the latter on a whisper.

I agree and before you know it I am telling him the whole story, as best I could. I even tell him about the almost rape, even though he didn't rape me, he sure defiled my body. I feel dirty even now. He understood and apologized, even though it wasn't his fault at all. He is a kind man. I feel a stirring next to me and know Peyton's awake, how long has she been up for? I hope for her sake she didn't hear what happened while she was knocked out. I know she did though, because she takes my hand as she tries to cover up her tears with her other hand.

"I wanted to let you girls know that we have Ian Banks, as your friend knows Ms. Davis, but I wanted to tell you that he's being charged with attempted murder. And they're pushing for Life without parole. I think we stand a big chance of getting that sentence." He says with a hopeful smile. "I just wanted to let you know that. To ease your mind a bit. We got him girls, although we might need you to go to court to testify. But we'll see what we can do about that. So you don't have to see him again." He says as he stands and straightens his tie. "You girls have a wonderful day now and please don't let this get you down. Please try to live your lives. Your a very courageous girl Brooke Davis. A genuine hero." He smiles as he turns to leave the room.

I finish my thought as I hear someone knock on the door and stick their head around. "Luke" I say breathlessly.

"Hey pretty girl" he says striding over to the chair that is always occupied.

"Hi. What are you doing here? Isn't it really late? I thought visiting hours were over." I say with a smile on my face, I can't not smile when it comes to Luke.

"I am here to see you, isn't it obvious?" He asks with his arms stretched out, chuckling. "And yes it's like 11:18 at night, visiting hours have been over for the past 3 hours, but Rita is here and she's super cool. Besides, your actually allowed to have one person to stay the night, so they don't mind so much when we visit late, as long as it's not an overwhelming amount of people in here." He explains.

"Well I'm glad your here, although you should be at home watching Karen. She is really pregnant Luke, she needs you more than I do now." I say sitting up and leaning against my mass of pillows.

He leans back in his seat at that last comment, I'll never know how that comment hurt him. "As long as your here you can keep me company." I say with a smile.

"I can't wait to see the real Brooke Davis smile." He replies with a sad smile of his own.

"What do you mean the real Brooke Davis smile?" I ask with a giggle trying to keep the conversation light.

"The smile that makes your eyes sparkle, the one where your nose scrunches up just a little, the one where your dimples shine through." He says, all the while softly caressing each spot he just spoke about. His finger lingering a bit at my cheek. "That's the real Brooke Davis smile" he explains removing his hand and placing it back in his lap.

"Hmm..I forgot how observant you can be." I say looking him straight in the eye, so as not to let him think he got to me. You know he did Brookie, he got you good. No more thoughts like that.

"So how are you and boy wonder doing?" at my look he explains "you know Chase, because he woke you from your sleep, sleeping beauty, was it with a kiss I wonder?" He asks with a waggle of his eyebrows.

"Haha, your such a dork. No unfortunately, not with a kiss. I woke him up actually, I told you and I scared him half to death, coughing. Who knew how lady like I could really be?" I ask playing along.

We laughed for a few minutes before he turned everything serious. "You know I'm really glad your awake Brooke, I'm just a little peeved you woke to wonder boy though." He says looking me straight in the eye.

I look right back at him and respond in kind "you know Luke, you should just be happy about the fact that I woke up, you know a lot of people don't normally wake up after being in a COMA for the amount of time that I was in it." I couldn't help saying it with a little attitude. How dare he bring up the fact that I woke up to Chase, what does it matter anyway? He should just be happy I'm alive and well!

We must've stared at eachother for a few minutes because my eyes are starting to burn. He looked away first, got up and turned around, I was scared I made him angry enough to leave without saying anything, the jerk he deserved it though. But he turned back around and sat on my bed. Without saying anything he kissed me on the cheek and said "I wish it was me.." before tucking a hair behind my ear and stood up and walked out the door, ever so slowly. I was frozen in my spot. Did that really just happen?


AN: Thank you once again for reading this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it, if you did or not please review, I love reading what you all think. I know I updated this one fast. I was so excited to find out what will happen next, so excited to write Brooke's POV finally! Anyway please review..now onto my personal Thank You's.

Princesakarlita411: They are not going to break up just yet, please be patient, like I said before it is not realistic to me, for them to break up and be with eachother so fast. They need to be together when the time is right. I can't have Brooke be insecure, not with Lucas, not again. She needs to be secure in herself before she is with him. Thank you for the review though :)

Its-ok-to-love: Thank you for the wonderful review. I love reading the long ones :) I know I hate when it's like that too. His heart is conflicted but not where his feelings lie, I think he knows how he feels he just doesn't feel it's right to feel them right now. I definitely didn't want her to be all mopey and confused. It's just not how I see Brooke. She is always so selfless, cheerful, like a friend I would want by my side :) They know she helped Peyton, just don't really know she saved her. But Brooke won't ever boast about it. So I'll just have to get them to figure it out some way. But I did add that part about Det. Daniels knowing :) I hate that they didn't do much about it or say anything about it in the show! That really pissed me off. Considering they always make a big deal when Peyton does anything selfless. I am so glad you loved the chapter, I hope this was fast enough for yah ;)

dianehermans: Thank you for the review. I don't like Chase and Brooke either, never have. Team Brucas all the way!
