A/N: Thank you so much for the response, I love you all so much. I am so sorry about the wait, I have excuse for this but I truly am sorry. Thanks to everyone who was pushing me to update, I promise I am never going to leave this story unfinished. BTW did everyone see Hill on Gray's Anatomy? This girl just loves to play characters that ruin relationships hahah, but we love her. Love forever and always.
"I already told you, I don't know who he is!" Brooke yelled at the officer's face.
"Ma'am I need you to calm down" The officer spoke to Brooke without looking up from his files, his voice held no emotion.
"And I need you to take this seriously" Brooke made a move to get up but stopped when Peyton placed her hand onto her arm.
"I told you Ma'am, I will have a detective consult you as soon as one is free" The officer said, same tone in his voice.
"Are you kidding me?" Brooke's voice rose just a little more. "He could be waiting outside right now, waiting for me to step outside and then kill me!"
"And then he would be arrested" A look of astonishment crossed Brooke's face, not believing what she just heard.
"And I would be dead" She hissed out.
"Look I get it" The officer finally looked up from his files. "You're a celebrity and you're used to everything happening on your time and when you say so, at the snap of a finger. Let me tell you something, I don't care who you-"Peyton cut the officer from his rant.
"Hey!" The officer turned his eyes to Peyton. "She's not acting like that, she's scared and she has every reason to be…This isn't the first time we've had to deal with something like this, so do me two favours. One, pull your head out of your ass because it's not a hat. Two, find a damn detective in this giant police station that can take five fucking seconds to listen to her case!"
"I'll look at her case" The girls looked over their shoulders, behind them stood a man about their age. "Follow me ladies" The girls stood up and followed him to his desk.
"Thank you" Brooke said once they sat down.
"Of course" The detective got comfortable in his chair before throwing them both a smile. "I'm Detective Zac Mitchell; can you tell me what's been going on and please give me your names?" He leaned back in his chair and folded his hands.
"I'm Brooke Davis and this is my girlfriend Peyton Sawyer. A little while ago I got a really creepy call, unknown name and number, it was just breathing. That stopped pretty quickly, but I got some flowers delivered to my work place and I thought they were from a girlfriend or grateful customer…But they weren't, I only found that out when the same flowers were sent to my house and I got another phone call. This time he talked and he asked if I liked the flowers before hanging up" Detective Mitchell nodded with a frown.
"Well unfortunately that's not a lot to go on, but there are something things that we can do" Zac grabbed a pad and a pen; he placed it in front of Brooke. "Write down the address for your work and house, we're going to set a uniform there for a couple of days. If anything happens then they can be there to intercept it" Brooke nodded and wrote down what she needed to. "And if you want we can block unknown numbers from calling you" Brooke handed over her cell phone.
"Um there was also one night when I was on my way home that I swear I heard a camera going off, I don't know for sure though" Detective Mitchell nodded once more.
"Well there's not a lot we can do about that now" Mitchell typed a few more things on his computer before handing the phone back. "Now he shouldn't be able to call you, all blocked calls are blocked from your phone"
"Thank you" Brooke gave him a small smile.
"Um we've been through something like this before" Peyton spoke up. "Ian Banks, he stalked me for a while and then tried to kill both of us. Is there any chance that he's out and maybe the one doing this?"
"Ian Banks?" The girls nodded. "Give me one second" Zac typed for a moment or two before turning his attention back to the girls. "Nope he's still in prison; he's defiantly not our guy"
"Thank God" Peyton muttered. "How are you going to find this guy?"
"We have to wait for him to slip, I'm sorry" He gave them a shrug. "We just don't have much to go on" The girls nodded. "Any letters that you get from unknown address's, open them with gloves and then give them to us. If we get lucky we can get fingerprints from them" Mitchell opened his desk and pulled a card out and handed it to Brooke. "That's my number; if you need anything please don't hesitate to call"
"Thank you Detective Mitchell" Brooke gave him another smile before standing up.

Haley opened the door to her house and smiled at Brooke and Peyton, she let them into the house. They all made their way to the living room, where the entire gang was waiting. The three women took a seat on the couch.
"How did it go?" Nathan asked.
"The detective we talked to, Detective Mitchell, said there isn't much they could do because there isn't much to go on" Brooke began to explain. "He did block all unknown calls from my cell, and he's going to put an officer outside the house and COB" Brooke leaned her arms on her knees and put her head into her hands. "Why is this happening?"
"They're going to catch him" Lindsay told her, leaning across the coffee table and placing her hand on Brooke's shoulder.
"Yeah Brooke, you have to keep believing that" Lucas moved from his spot to sit beside her. "Till then I don't think you should be alone" Brooke raised her head and frowned at Lucas. "I mean it, we don't know where this guy could be and I think it's best if you're not alone"
"I agree" Brooke turned from Lucas and looked at Peyton. "I know you love to be independent Brooke, but Lucas is right" Peyton took Brooke's hand into her own. "I'm going to stay with you until this thing ends"
"And we'll all take turns to take you to and from work" Haley spoke next, placing a supporting hand on Brooke's knee.
"Guys no" Brooke shook her head. "I love for this, but you can't do this, you all have lives"
"Yeah we do" Nathan spoke up. "We have lives that you are a huge part of, we don't want to lose you and if that means keep you in our site most of the time…So be it, as long as it keeps you around" Brooke smiled at Nathan's words; tear's hitting the bridge of her eyes.
"I love you guys so much" A small sob escaped her lips and Peyton laughed before pulling her into her arms.

"It's so weird" Brooke said, she was looking out the window in her living room.
"What is?" Peyton moved behind Brooke and wrapped her arms around the shorter woman.
"Seeing a police officer sitting outside my house because I'm being stalked…It's just so celebrity cliché" They both let out a small laugh. "Are you okay?" Brooke let the curtain drop on the window before turning in Peyton's arms.
"What?" Peyton laughed. "Brooke, you're the one going through this"
"But like you said, we've been through this before" Brooke wrapped her own hands around Peyton shoulder's. "You've been through this before; it must be bringing back some really hard memories"
"I fought my monster Brooke, now it's your turn" Peyton put her forehead against Brooke's. "You helped me with Ian and I'll help you with whoever this guy is" Peyton closed her eyes and Brooke followed her lead.
"I love you" Brooke whispered.
"I love you too" Peyton connected their lips in a sweet kiss.

A man dressed in all black stepped under a street light; he glared at the police cruiser sitting outside Brooke's house. He lifted his hood and covered his head before moving to the house closest to him, his plan was to hop fences till he got to Brooke's house. He was almost certain that the officer wouldn't see him and if the officer did see him then…Well he had go to certain measure that he wouldn't be caught, as the though crossed his mind he placed a hand over the gun that was tucked into the waistband of his jeans. He secured his backpack on both shoulder before he began to hop the fences leading to Brooke's house.
His feet hit the ground for the last time; he put his hands on his knees and caught his breath back. He was fairly athletic and so fitness was never an issue but hoping fences was not an easy task, after catching his breath he crouched down and began to walk around the back of Brooke's house. He looked through windows till his eyes finally landed on the window he wanted, it was on the side of the house but was still unseen by the cruiser. He could see the shadow of the cruiser but the car itself was out of site, he let out a breath when he realized that he was in the clear for now.
He looked into the window and saw Brooke asleep in the bed, Peyton arms wrapped around her. He clenched his fists at the site, he wanted nothing more than to rip the two apart. He closed his eyes and took a deep calming breath; there would be time for that in the future...He would get his chance to wrap his arms around Brooke. He opened his eyes and started at Brooke a moment longer before dropping to his knees, he removed his backpack and placed it in front of him. He opened it and pulled out the camera he had inside, a highly professional camera, he wanted to make sure that he would get the best pictures possible of Brooke. He closed the backpack and slung it back over his shoulders; he stood up and pointed the camera at Brooke. He focused the camera before quickly snapping five photos.
Once he did he dropped to a crouch and quickly moved away from the window and into the backyard, where he quickly put the camera back in the bag. He looked over his shoulder to make sure no one caught on before going back over the fences.

Brooke's eyes snapped open, she was sure that a flash went off in her room. When he eyes opened they were met with her window, her window that showed her nothing expect her neighbour's house. Brooke thought that maybe she just imagined it, but a nagging feeling in her stomach told her otherwise, she looked over her shoulder and saw Peyton still asleep. Brooke turned back to the window before moving Peyton's arm and sitting up on the bed. She reached to the floor and grabbed Peyton's oversized shirt, she put it on before standing up.
Brooke made her way to the window and looked outside; she saw nothing but the grass. Brooke ran a hand over her eyes and through her hair; she shook her head and let out a small sigh.
I must be going crazy.
Brooke headed to the front of her house, she just need to make sure that the officer was still outside and still alive...If she planned on going back to sleep then she needed to do this. Brooke took slow steps to her living room, afraid that maybe someone was in the house. She finally made it to her living room window and pulled the curtain back slowly and let out her breath when she saw the officer still in his car, drinking a coffee and fiddling with his radio.
"Brooke?" Brooke dropped the curtain and held her heart in shock as she spun around.
"Fuck Peyton" Brooke took a couple of deep breaths to calm her heart down. "You scared the shit out of me"
"Sorry, are you okay?" Peyton tightened the sheets around her body before stepping slightly closer to Brooke; Brooke nodded with a small smile. "It's three in the morning babe"
"I know…I thought I…Heard something" Brooke gave her a small shrug.
"Alright" Peyton started at her for a moment longer before outstretching her hand. "Come back to bed"
"Yeah" Brooke took her hand and the two made their way back to the bed room.
Peyton got back into the bed and Brooke moved to the window in her room, she stared out of it for a moment before pulling the curtains closed; feeling just a little more safe. Brooke got back into the bed and smiled when Peyton arms wrapped around her.
