Chapter 9

authors note : Thank you my readers. Stay tuned.

As the hours passed and people came and went.

The day transforming from day to night.

The friend group found themselves. Pacing or stretched out on empty chairs.

Lucas wanted to focused fully on Brooke. But his mind went to Peyton.

Brooke was her best friend and she was nowhere to be found.

That was odd. Very unlike Peyton.

As a team of white coats made their way out of the ER. And into the waiting room.

One stood out in front. "Who is here for Brooke Davis!" She called out.

"All of us are." Lucas replied.

"Can we see her.?" Rachel asked.

"She's stable and nothing was broken."

"She's got bruises and swelling. The attack was targetted. But she made it through. She's stable. But doesn't want visitors."

"Emotionally. Mentally. She's been through hell." The doctor explained.

"We won't push or get in the way. We just want and need to make sure she knows we're here and aren't going anywhere." Haley replied.

The doctor sighed deeply. Looking to her team then back at the concern and worry on the faces in front of her.

"Okay you can visit but not all at once. And keep it quick."

"She needs rest. This second attack brought back everything she went through during her first. But things are worse this time." The doctor explained before leaving the waiting room.

The friend group split up and decided who would go with who.

Rachel and Haley.

Mouth and Skills.

After Lucas reached out to Peyton and got no reply of any kind.

He planned to go see Brooke alone.

...

Peyton made her way into the childhood home. She grew up in.

Using her spare key. She entered the home with ease. No one raising suspicion why would they.?'

Xzavier seemed un moved by the attack he placed on Brooke.

"She's not dead. But she'll be out of the way."

"Which is better then nothing i guess." Peyton said.

As she handed him the money with in the envelope.

Xzavier took his time to count it.

"I don't get you. Why is Brooke such a threat.?" Xzavier asked.

Peyton thought over the question. "Take you're money and go." She replied.

Once he was out of sight. Peyton made her way out of the home.

She checked her cellphone and saw she had various calls and texts from Lucas and the rest of their friends.

All informing her of Brooke's attack.

She had to put on her best sorrow face.

Xzavier saw Brooke as a goal to meet.

For Peyton her hatred and anger towards Brooke.

Had been brewing since freshman year in high school.

When it became clear to Peyton. Brooke was who everyone wanted.

When they were together. She didn't exist.

The pregnancy was a lie.

Lucas loved her. He saved her from the world and herself countless times.

All she had to do now was fake this pregnancy. Produce a baby. And Lucas would be hers. Brooke would have to move on.
