Brooklyn waiting in the waiting room in silence, she had Jack on one side of her and Jared on another. Jared and Paige's father had left the room to make a couple phone calls and Brooklyn figured one was to her father. Paige and Brooklyn father's were really good friends. They had been neighbors for years and their families were always close. Although Tom wasn't Jared and Paige's real father, he was their step-father but he had practically raised both children and insisted on them calling him dad. Their mother suddenly a year ago, leaving both children a load money and none to Tom.

"Are you doing ok?" Jared was the first to break the silence.

"With my best friend being in the hospital or coming home to this city that has caused me so much pain?" Brooklyn asked slightly annoyed with the question. She was enjoying not talking to Jared. Jared and Brooklyn had a history, one that wasn't easy for to talk about. Growing up together they had never gotten along, always fighting, always at each others throats. One day she realized that was in love with her best friend's brother and he felt way about her. They started dating and dated for almost a year till he cheated on her, but he was her first and in some retrospect she had never gotten over him, even though she had been with a couple after him.

"With all of this," Jared looked at her, but she couldn't look at him, she feared if she looked him in the eyes she'd fall in love with him all over again.

Jack's phone rang and Brooklyn didn't have to answer the question. Bobby had called Jack and told him to meet them outside room 40B. "Come on Bobby wants us," Jack pulled Brooke to her feet. They walked out of the room and Brooklyn fought the urge to turn around and take another look at Jared.

"What does Bobby want?" Brooklyn asked and Jack shrugged not knowing the answer because Bobby didn't say. They walked quietly to the room and saw Bobby standing up against the wall outside the room and Angel was no where in site. "Where's Angel?"

"He's getting some ass from some nurse," Bobby replied, "So this Paige's room, she's gonna be fine, but really banged up. You can see her if you want."

"Do you want to go in alone?" Jack looked down at the girl he had now come to love as his sister. Brooklyn looked up at Jack nervously; she was scared to see Paige lying in bed hurt. Brooklyn shook her head and took both Jack and Bobby's hands in hers, took a deep breath, and led both men into the room.

As soon as Paige saw Brooklyn she smiled and laughed slightly, "Damn you look like shit."

Brooklyn laughed to seeing the girl she considered her sister be in such good sprits, but than Paige was always the strong one. "You don't look so hot yourself there girly."

"Yes I know but I got in a car accident what's your excuse," Paige asked trying to be serious, but when Brooklyn just stared at her, Paige broke into a smile, "Come here and give your big sister a hug."

Brooklyn hugged her bruised friend. Than introduced everyone, "Paige, I'd like you to meet Bobby and Jack, guys this is my sister Paige. I've been staying with them and their other brother Angel in Detroit."

"Damn they're cute where'd you find them?" Paige asked making everyone smile.

"They found me, but that's not important right now. What happened tonight?"

Paige looked at Brooklyn, who was now sitting on the bed next to her, and than looked up at Bobby and Jack giving them a half smile. "I was driving to this party at Taylor's house, I was going down that steep hill on 13th street, I hit the brakes to slow down, but they didn't work. I crashed into a couple cars and then finally made a meeting with a telephone pole."

"How could the brakes give out that's a brand new car?" Brooklyn was confused; Paige had just gotten a 2005 Honda Civic.

"Wait a minute, you have a brand new car and the brakes just happen to give out?" Jack basically repeated everything Paige said.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Bobby looked at his younger brother and Jack nodded. "Paige do you know where they took your car?"

"Um, I think Scott Motors on 23rd street," She told them looking at them confused, "the cars totaled though." Bobby looked down at his watched, it was already eight and he figured the auto shop was probably open by now.

"Jack let's go outside, give them time to say goodbye," Bobby walked toward the door, "It was nice meeting you."

"You to, come back anytime," Paige shouted as they left the room, then she looked back at Brooklyn, "Could they get any hotter?"

"Ok, 1st gross, 2nd don't even go there, and 3rd I missed you," Brooklyn laughed grabbing her sister's arm.

"I missed you too, but what are you some kind of crazy coming back here. What if your dad finds you? That perfect life that you're building for yourself will disappear."

"You don't get do you? I was worried sick about you. I thought something horrible happened to you, I thought I lost my sister, my best friend. If I have to go back and live with my father than it would be worth, because our love runs deeper than blood, you're my sister and I wouldn't change anything to be here with you right now," Brooklyn hugged Paige.

"Brooke, I think my dad wants me dead. He wants the money my mom left me and Jared."

"Bobby and Jack, and Angel they'll take care of this, you'll be ok. I won't let anything happen to you." Brooklyn pushed Paige's hair behind her ear. "I'll make sure Tom never hurts you again because nobody fucks with my family." Brooklyn stood up and walked right out the door to where Bobby, Angel, and Jack were standing talking. She took a look around making sure no one else was around. "Her dad tried to kill her."

Brooklyn had no emotion on her face, she was mad, hurt, scared, and angry all rolled up into one. "I knew something was up with that bastard." Bobby almost punched the wall he was so angry.

"She needs to be ok; I can not go home with you guys with out knowing that she's safe." Brooklyn said almost in her own little world.

"We'll take care of this. He will never touch her again," Angel put his hand on Brooklyn's shoulders to comfort her. Brooklyn realized at that moment how much her new brothers really cared about her. They didn't ask questions, they saw her face and hurt she was and they reacted. The Mercer brothers were completely loyal to their family and would do anything for anyone that they cared about.
