AN: Thanks for all the reviews. Ok, things are slowing down now. Lol. Brooke is two months pregnant on the dot! The begining is a recap. Then, it goes from the day after but in Brooke's point of view. Review and I will send you a quote for the next chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own one tree hill!"I'm pregnant!" she spilled. Lucas released her quickly.
"What?!" he snapped. Brooke bit her bottom lip.
"I'm pregnant!" she repeated. Lucas smiled wide.
"Yes!" he yelled. "Wait, when did you find out?" Brooke's face fell.
"Ummm…the day before court," she said. Now, Lucas' face fell.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he questioned. Brooke looked at her feet. Lucas cupped her chin and said, "Brooke, why didn't you tell me?"
"'Cause I wanted you to be with me when you found out. I didn't want you to be in jail feeling sorry that you are missing the first months of its life! Lucas, I did this so you wouldn't do anything stupid in jail. I was saving you from something you couldn't control!" Brooke said as tears formed in her eyes. Lucas smiled.
He hugged her, "Brooke, I love you!"
Brooke laughed and echoed, "Love you too!"
"You burned the food," Lucas informed, spoiling the romantic mood.
"Screw the food!" she said as she forced her lips to collide with his. She tugged playfully on his bottom lip. Lucas laughed in pleasure. Brooke slid her hands up his shirt. With a tug of his shirt, it fell to the floor. Brooke stop and froze.
"What's the matter?" he asked. Brooke gasped.
"What the hell happened to you in prison?!" Brooke asked. Lucas looked at what she was staring at.
He sighed, "Brooke, it's just a scar."
"What happened?" she asked.
"Brooke, I got into a fight, ok?" Lucas said as he inched closer to her.
"Over what? Who did this to you?" Brooke asked shocked.
"It doesn't matter!" Lucas yelled.
"Like hell it doesn't!" she said matching his tone.
"Brooke, would you stop obsessing over such a minor thing?!" Lucas asked as he grabbed his shirt and fled past her. Brooke sat on the bed. Why did she feel so angry with Lucas? She missed him while he was gone, right?! Brooke walked to the bathroom and took a hard look at herself.
"What is wrong with me?" she whispered. She couldn't shake the feeling away. What was wrong with Lucas? Why couldn't she stop obsessing over things? Why did she want to smash things to pieces?
I fluttered open my eyes to the sight of an empty bed. I sighed and walked to the kitchen. Lucas was rumishing threw the fridge. The door hid him much to my dismay.
"Good morning, babe," I greeted him.
Peyton revealed herself from behind the fridge, "Hey, Brooke!"
"What are you doing here?" I asked. Peyton sighed and motioned towards the couch.
"Brooke, come and sit," Peyton said as she patted the seat next to her. I scanned her eyes for any sign of happy news.
"I'll stand, what's going on?" I asked. Peyton exhaled sharply.
"Jake found something last night, something horrible, and I don't know what-"
"What is it?!" I asked cutting her off. "And do you know where Lucas is?"
"Brooke, he left Jake this," Peyton said as she handed me a note. I unfolded the paper and read…
Brooke,
Wow, I don't know where to begin. Ummm…I love you so much. Believe me, I do. But, I am no good for you! There are always going to be people after me and I'm a criminal. I can't put you in danger now that you are pregnant. Trust me, I would love nothing more than to be with you. Seriously, think about it, I am no good for you and you gotta understand, I do love you!
My mom is still dying, I owe people money and I can't let you get hurt, again! So, please, let me go.
Love,
Lucas
I crumpled the paper and threw it on the floor. "Where is he?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" Peyton asked.
"That's not his handwriting!" I informed her. The look on Peyton's face scared me.
"It's not?" she said shocked.
"No, I know that handwriting somehow-" I gasped and cupped my hand to my mouth. Peyton glanced at me.
"What?" she asked standing beside me.
"They've got him!" I said shaking.
"Hun, who has Lucas?" Peyton asked.
"Darius and his goon, they have Lucas. Peyton, we have to stop them!" I said grabbing my purse.
"Wait, who is Darius?"
"Lucas borrowed money from Darius and never paid him back. We gotta stop him!" I said walking out the door.
"Brooke!" Peyton chased after me. I hopped in my car and waited for her to hop in. "Do you know where he is?"
"No, but I can't let anything happen to him. Peyton, I love and need him!" I said as tears formed in my eyes. I can't lose you, again!
AN: Sorry, I know it's short but, I thought I would leave you with a cliffy. You know, let your mind wander.
