Chapter 14

Henry then got up and walked over to Brooke. Normally Brooke would scream and try to get away but this time she just sat there like she was welcoming what was to come next. Henry then grabbed her throat and threw her across the room. When to guard outside of the door heard the crash he went over to open the door but to his surprise the door was locked. Brooke had locked the door before Henry even came in.

The guard grabbed his walkie talkie and said, "Code red I repeat code red. I need the key to room 26 right away. We have an attack on a civilian." After he sent the message he went to the window of the door to see what was going on. Henry just kept on throwing Brooke across the room like a rag doll and in between that he kick her and punched her until she passed out and even the he just kept on the attack.

About three minutes after the guard made the code red about ten police men came and one of them told him to get out of the way. When the door was unlocked the police men came in and tried to stop Henry from his attack while Lucas snuck in there and got Brooke out of the room.

It only took three minutes for the police to get Henry in hand cuffs and in to his cell. There was an ambulance right outside of the jail and Lucas took her to it. When they got to the hospital Lucas called his mom and told her what had happened. He then called Haley because he knew that everyone was together, and he told her what had happened.

Ten minutes later Karen and the rest of the gang came into to hospital where they saw Lucas in the waiting room with tears coming out of his eyes.

"Hey Lucas. What happened?" asked Haley who had just stood in front of him.

Lucas got out of his chair and gave Haley a hug, but once he saw his mom he walk over to her and gave her a humongous hug.

When they were all seated Lucas told the whole story about what had happened. Until the doctor came out.

"Excuse me are you all here for Ms. Brooke Davis?"

"Yes we are. Um…how is she?" asked Karen.

"Well her left arm is broken as well as her right leg. She had a broken rib bone that we were able to reset. Other than that she is now resting and all of her symptoms are doing well. We will need to give you a wheel chair because she won't be able to use crutches because of her left arm." Explained the doctor.

"When will we be able to take her home?" asked Karen with deep concern.

"Um…I think that you can take her home now if you would like. Just don't allow her to get out of bed for any reason at all. And we will need to give you a bed pan for her, as well as a wheel chair. And if you have any problems then just bring her back here. Okay?"

"Yes thank you. Um… where can I get a wheel chair and a bed pan?" asked Karen.

"Come with me. Oh and if any of you want to see her she is in room 196."

"Hey Luc why don't you go in to see her." Suggested Nathan.

Lucas did as Nathan suggested. When he got in the room he saw that Brooke was still asleep. He walked over to the side of her bed and sat in the chair that was there.

"God Brooke. Why did you do this to your self? What was it worth?" Lucas then lightly held Brooke's right hand and he then began to cry.

After an hour passed they were all ready to go. It was decided that Brooke would stay at Karen's house until she can walk. As they loaded up the vehicles Nathan, Haley, Daniel, Peyton rode in Peyton's car along with the bed pan. While Lucas and Brooke; who was still asleep; sat in the front seat together while the wheel chair was in the back of Karen's van.

When they all got to Karen's house Lucas carried Brooke to his room and layed her gently on his bed. He then covered her up with his blankets and he then sat in his chair and watched her sleep. While Karen, Nathan, Haley, Peyton, and Daniel helped bring in the rest of the stuff.

When everything was unpacked Karen went into Lucas's room to check on Brooke while everyone else left to go to their home, except Daniel who was going to stay over at Nathan's until Brooke got well. When Karen opened Lucas's door she saw Brooke lying on Lucas's bed and Lucas sitting in his computer chair by the bed with his head on the bed asleep. Karen went in to the hall closet and got out a blanket. She then went back into Lucas's room and put the blanket over him.

The next day at 12:00p.m Brooke woke up to find that she was in a strange place.

"Where am I?" she asked herself.

When she tried to get up she felt a big sting on her arm.

"OW!" she yelled in pain.

A few seconds later Lucas came running into her room with the look of fear in his eyes.

"You okay?" he asked in a very caring voice.

"Where am I?"

"You're in my bedroom and in my bed. Do you remember what happened?"

"Yes. Very well actually."

"Why did you go see Henry?"

"Well I knew that he had killed my mother and…and…"Brooke then broke off and started to cry at the thought that her mother was dead.

"And what?" asked Lucas walking over to the bed.

"And I wanted to die. I wanted to be with her so much."

Lucas quickly sat on the side of the bed and gently put his arms around her.

"God Brooke I don't know what you must be going through but I do know one thing…"Lucas gently lifted her head so that she would look at him. "that if I lost you then I would feel the same as you feel now. You see Brooke I love you."

"Y…y….you what?" asked Brooke in shock.

"I love you. I've loved you ever since that day when you and I bumped into each other before our British Literature class." Lucas wiped a tear that had fallen from Brooke's eyes with his thumb.

"But why? Why do you love me? Why would you love someone like me? I don't understand."

"It's because that it's you that I love. I love your personality; I love everything about you."

"I love you too."

"I know."

"How?"

"Because when you were at the hospital after you got stabbed. When you were about to fall asleep you said and I quote 'I love you Lucas'."

Brooke then turned blood shot red.

"Why can't I get up?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Oh the doctor said that your left arm is broken as well as your right leg. You had a broken rib bone that they were able to reset and that's about it."

"Thanks Lucas."

"For what?"

"For being my guardian angel."

"I promise you that I will always protect you in any way possible." Lucas then kissed her gently on the cheeks and then he kissed her on the lips.
