Thanks for the reviews! I'm so happy I've got such loyal readers!

Brooke laid at the bottom of the cliff trying to keep it together. Her leg and arm hurt so badly. She screamed every once in a while but nothing. No one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rachel was worried. It was morning and Brooke hadn't called or come home. She called Nathan.

"It's early what do you want?" Nathan groaned into the phone.

"Where is she? What did you do to her?" Rachel yelled at him.

"Whoa Rachel," Nathan sat up, "What's wrong?"

"Brooke didn't come home last night," Rachel said shaking, "She didn't call and she won't pick up her cell phone. There's something wrong I just know it."

Nathan sighed, "Okay Okay…lemme call Peyton and see if there's somewhere Brooke would go. And I'll be right there."

"Thanks Nathan," Rachel hung up and started going through Brooke's stuff for a clue.

Nathan dialed Peyton's number.

Lucas answered Peyton's cell, "Yeah?"

Nathan groaned, "I need to speak with Peyton."

"She's sleeping Nathan," Lucas said, "And she don't need to talk to you."

"I don't care. It's emergency!" Nathan yelled at him, "Give her the phone or so help me I'll come over there and kill you with my bear hands.

Lucas woke up Peyton and handed her the phone.

"Nathan what is the deal?" Peyton asked ticked.

"I know you two don't care but Brooke is missing and we don't know where to find her." Nathan said, "Is there anywhere she'd go off?" He got dressed as he talked and headed to his car.

"There's like this cliff she used to talk about," Peyton said, "She said she went out there sometimes to think. That's all I can think of Nate."

"Where is it?" Nathan said driving to Rachel's. When he got there Rachel was outside and jumped right in.

"Just go out south of town like…a couple of miles. It's on the right. You'll see it." Peyton said.

"Thanks Peyton. Thank you." Nathan hung up. He turned to Rachel, "Peyton said something about a cliff, we can check that out."

Rachel nodded, "She's really really upset," she felt tears come down her face. She hadn't had a friend like Brooke before and she couldn't lose her.

"We'll find her Rachel. I won't let something happen. I have to save her," Nathan just knew Brooke was in trouble.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke was finally found a large branch to help her up. She stood up on her one good leg and looked up at the cliff. She knew she had to get up there to get help. Using her one leg and both arms even though it was broken she slowly got up the cliff. All of her energy was drained once she got to the top. She laid there and passed out

Rachel jumped out as Nathan stopped the car. She saw Brooke and ran over to her. "Brooke…Brooke..wake up."

Brooke groaned as she fluttered her eyes open, "Nathan…" she said softly.

Nathan smiled seeing her eyes, "Hey…you're going to be fine," he picked her up in his arms and put her in the back seat. When Rachel got inside they raced to the hospital.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan and Rachel were waiting for what seemed like forever. The doctor came out to speak with them.

"Miss Davis is going to be okay," The doctor told them, "She has broken her right leg and left arm. She'll need a lot of help."

"Thank you doctor," Nathan nodded.

Soon a nurse wheeled Brooke out to the waiting room. She didn't make eye contact with Nathan, "Rachel let's go home."

Rachel nodded. She looked at Nathan. He looked so sad. She'd never felt bad for the guy before. She wheeled her to the car.

Nathan got into the driver's seat. "You can't go to Rachel's," he said simply, "The stairs will be too much trouble.

Brooke groaned, "I don't have anywhere else to go."

"You'll go home with me. I can take care of you." Nathan offered.

"I don't like you, I don't want to live with you." Brooke said

Nathan turned around looking into her eyes. She was hurt, not just physically but emotionally. He hadn't seen this look ever on her, not even when Lucas hurt her. "Brooke I care about you. You are really my best friend. Please let me help you."

Brooke sighed, "Fine, it's better than a motel, I guess."
