Hey guys, here's chapter 2.

I forgot to say this in the beginning but I do not own any of the one tree hill character. Thanks for all the reviews.

Chapter 2

It's about 9:30 in the morning and Brooke awoke to the sounds of birds chirping and the warm sunlight hitting her skin. She stretches a little, gets up and yawns. She looks around remembering the events of last night and why she is in Lucas's room.

She walks over to his mirror and looks at herself. The bruise on her cheek had gotten a little darker. "Oh my god . . . " She whispered to herself. She walked out of his room and into the living room. All she saw was the couch with a wrinkled blanket and pillow. Lucas was nowhere in sight. She walked to the kitchen and on the counter was a note.

Brooke,

I went to school. There's some food in the frig.

Just take what you want.

I made pancakes and they're in there. I saved you some.

Be back later.

Lucas

She had forgotten all about school. 'Great' She thought. Brooke opened the refrigerator and just like he said in the letter, there was a plate of pancakes. Brooke didn't understand how he could still think of her after everything she said to him, which she felt so bad for saying.

Lucas is walking down the hallway of the school and he is in deep thought. He couldn't believe Brooke. 'How could she say that?' he thought. He really did know that she didn't mean it but it still hurt.

Just then Peyton comes up next to him. "Hey." She said. Lucas snaps out of it and looks at her. "Oh hey. So how was your little weekend vacation with your dad?" "It totally sucked! I mean all he wanted to talk about was Ellie and everything and I'm just so sick of talking about all that stuff." Peyton said. "Oh," Lucas said, "Hey look I need to talk to you."

Peyton looked a little confused. "Umm, okay. Is everything okay?" Lucas pulls her over to where his locker is because there aren't as many people there compared to every where else in the hallway. "It's Brooke . . . " Lucas started. "Is she okay? 'Cause she's not here today. Did something happen?"

Lucas knew that Peyton knows about Brooke's dad also. It wasn't something knew for her to hear. She also tried to get Brooke to go to the cops but she just kept refusing. "It's her dad." He told her finally.

Peyton sighs. "I can't believe he hit her again. He's doing it more often now. She really need to get help" "I know." Lucas agreed. "How bad was she?" She asked. She wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the answer. "Not that bad. Just a big bruise. Nothing compared to last time." Lucas told her. "Good." Peyton was relieved. Last time he hit her, she broke two of her ribs.

The night was so clear in Peyton's mind. Brooke came to her house crying and Peyton had to take her to the hospital. They had to give a fake name and everything so that her dad wouldn't find her there. Brooke was so scared. Peyton didn't want that to happen again.

That afternoon, when Lucas came home, Brooke was sitting on the couch watching TV. As soon as she saw him she shut the TV off and walked up to him. "Hey." She looked into his eyes. She was going to appologize for everything that she said before and she hoped that he would forgive her.

"Hey." He wispered back at her. He was about to walk away when she grabbed his hand to stop him. He turns around and looks at her. "Lucas, please don't hate me. I'm really sorry about what I said and i didn't mean in. I was just mad at my dad and everything and I took it out on you." She looked at him in his blue eyes and she honestly thought that he was extremely mad at her and that he would never forgive her.

"Look, Brooke, I don't hate you. It just . . . it just surprised me. I didn't know that that's what you thought." Lucas said. "It's not. It's not what i think. I didn't mean it. Please, forgive me." Brooke pleaded.

Lucas looked into her hazel eyes and knew she was telling the truth. He nods. "Okay." He kissed her forhead and she leaned into his chest. "Thank you. I love you so much." Brooke said. "I know," He replied. "I love you too."

They spent the next couple of hours together watching TV, joking, and playing around. Finally, Brooke knew that she had to leave. She would be in so much trouble if she wasn't back before dark. "Look, Lucas, I gotta go." "No, you can't go back to there. The same thing is going to happen and you might get hurt worse this time." Lucas tried to stop her from leaving.

"I have to. If I don't leave now I'm going to be in so much trouble when I get home. It will just make everything worse. Please, I have to go." Brooke explained. Lucas didn't want her to go but he knew that she had to. "Fine, but if anything happens then call me or come here, no matter what time it is." He said. "Okay, I promise." Brooke walks to the door and leaves. Lucas sits down and sighs. He knew that this was a disaster waiting to happen.
