Brooke blinked her eyes open and saw the white walls. It took her a few minutes to see clearly. When she could she started looking around the room memorizing, and taking in every detail. Measuring in her head how many steps it would take to get to the door, about 13. She laide her head back remembering exactly what happened in the bathroom.

[flash back]
He can im, threw a rope around her neck, he had caught her off guard. She still fought back though she knew she could win. She kicked him and he dropped the rope she turned to face him. She was ready for this fight, she had trained long hours. Brooke knew she was ready. That is when he pulled the knife, she made one wrong move. And it almost took her life she knew. You see he was right handed, she thought he would cut across her going for her right side. When she spun around to kick him, she took her eyes off of him for 2 seconds, that's all it took for him to switch hands and cut her with his left hand slicing her left arm front to back. She stumbled back but quickly got back on her feet ready to finish the fight before she could stand up all the way, from falling back on the sinks he charged her, knife in hand. She remembered feeling the blood rush out of her and falling to the ground and then there was Peyton and Haley, she remembered hearing there screams and trying to reassure them she was ok, but she couldn't talk. Then there were men and women in white masks, doctors she figured. Then she fell asleep into a dark whole. That was the last thing she remembered.

Brooked moved the hospital gown, and saw where she had been stabbed. She had stitches and a big red scar. She covered it back p and laid her head down. Just then the door opened, she quickly shut her eyes. She didn't to talk to anyone. Not even Lucas. Especially not Lucas she needed time to think. Then she smelled something... she knew that smell it was... Chinese food. She smiled lightly. Only one person would bring her Chinese while she was in the hospital. The only one of her friends that believed it was actually the food of the gods. She felt the same way about it. She also knew this friend wouldn't ask questions. She opened her eyes a little and saw there back turned toward her. "Hey, Nate." He jumped a good ten feet. Then spun on her, ready to kill. "Damn Brooke you scared me to death, don't think just because your in a hospital bed I wont hurt you." She knew he wouldn't though. He was smiling the whole time he said it. She looked at him innocently than glanced at the Chinese food bags. "You bring me any?" Nathan was still pretending to be upset. "Yes." he handed her sweet and sour chicken, and egg roll and some fried rice. "I don't know why I did though." Brooke laughed. "Cuz' ya love me!" Nathan rolled his eyes and sat down. He turned on the T.V. and flipped right to the game. Brooke remembered when her and Nate used to do this. He'd bring over food. They would watch T.V., eat etc. etc. He used to spend the night at her house. They were as close As Haley and Lucas was. That changed when he started dating her best friend, and she started dating all of his friends. Brooke laughed."well its been a while since we did this. Just the two of us. "Nathan smiled sadly, "yeah it has.. Im just sorry it has to be under these circumstances." They sat in silence until they were done eating. Nathan then got up and went outside to call Lucas. Haley, Lucas, Peyton, and Jake, all showed up about 10 minutes later. Lucas rushed to Brookes side when he entered the room throwing himself practically on top of her giving her the biggest hug he could manage. "I'm so happy your ok.?" Haley walked over and leaned against Nathan who was now sitting on the over large window sill. Peyton and Jake wrapped in each others arms sat down on the over stuffed leather couch. Lucas sat on the bed with Brooke in his arms. Everyone sat with there significant other. Peyton started talking first informing, Brooke that she had been in the hospital 3 days. Haley told her about how she would get to meet Heather, when she got out of the hospital later today. Jake told her everyone was moving into "The Ranch House" as it is now known as. Luke told her she had no inuires worse than bruises and scrapes, other than the stab wound. After everyone was done explaining what had been going on. They all sat there in a semi-awkward silence. Each person off in there own world. They all knew what the other was thinking, Brooke knew what everyone was thinking to, She had decided to tell them the whole truth if they asked, and only if they asked. She didn't think anyone would actually ask yet. She was yet again wrong. Suddenly to everyone's surprise including his own, Jake stood up, looking directly into her eyes. "That's it im tired of this, everyone wants to know but no one will ask. Well im gonna ask: Brooke who did this do you? And why did they do it?" Everyone sat there Looking at Jake then, Brooke, and then each other Then back to Jake. Brooke took a couple deep breaths as Jake sat back down. Here goes nothing, she thought as she took a deep sigh and began explaining her story. The one No one knew about.
