Ok, so this may be the last chapter for a week or so. Things have gotten very busy for me with driving lessons and midterms all in the same week, it's been crazy.
I have to say I got inspiration for writing this from listening to the Jonas Brothers; they always put a smile to my face.
Anyway here's chapter two. Thanks again to anyone who reviewed.
Every Inch Of Me Is Bruised
Chapter Two: Hold On
"Two gun shot victims. One to the stomach. Another to the back." The paramedic said rushing Keith's fragile body toward the operating room.
"Mrs. I'm sorry but your not allowed in there."
"But I have to. Those are my babies. I have to." Brooke cried.
"I'm really sorry but you have to let us do what we need to." The nurse said.
"Karen?" Brooke asked dialing the one number she had memorized since high school.
"Brooke what's wrong?" the older lady asked on the phone.
"Gun. Kids. Lucas." Was about all the Brooke could say at the moment.
"Brooke I can tell Nate's there put him on the phone." Karen said knowing she was going to get nothing out of Brooke.
"What the hell happened Nate?" Karen asked as soon as she heard Nathan answer the phone.
"Get to the hospital now."
"Why?"
"Karen just get here please."
"I'll be right there." Karen said hanging up before Nathan could say another word.
"Where is he Nate?" Brooke cried, "Why my kids? Why did it have to be Keith and Callie, couldn't it happen to someone else?"
"Shh. Brooke you have to calm down and breath. Ok?" Nathan said getting a nod in response, "As of right now I have know clue where Lucas went and I could care less. He will be caught Brooke, and Keith and Callie should be fine. They are Scott's and Scott's are fighters."
"They have to be." Brooke said as Nathan pulled her into a well-deserved hug.
"Mrs. Scott?" The doctor said walking into the sterile feeling room.
"How are they?" Brooke asked standing up as fast as she can, getting a little dizzy. By the look on the doctors' face she knew medially that something was wrong.
"Well Callie is just fine. The surgery went great. The bullet didn't do that much damage." Dr. Kendal said.
"What about Keith? Please tell me he's alright." Brooke begged, "Please tell me he's going to be fine."
"I'm sorry Mrs. Scott we tried and tried are best but it seemed like Keith lost to much blood." The doctor said putting his head down. This was the worst part of the job, "Keith didn't make it."
"Brooke say something." Nathan said as Brooke just sat there shocked as anything.
"My baby boy." Was all Brooke said before she only saw black.
"Come on Brooke wake up." Nathan said shaking her a little as Karen rushed in.
"Nate what's going on?"
"Keith's gone." Nathan said putting his head in his hands, as the doctors took Brooke so they can try to wake her up.
"Where's Callie Nate?" Karen asked as Nathan just pointed down the hall, "Go stay with Brooke, and I'll go to Callie. Maybe soon you could tell me how this all happened?"
"He came after them……" Nathan said repeating the whole story step by step.
-Flashback-
"Mommy I'm scared." Callie cried.
"I know babe. Just stay calm." Brooke said.
"Help mommy. Help Uncle Nafan."
"We're trying to babe."
"Please Luke just let her go. Shoot me instead." Brooke pleaded.
"Fine." Lucas said as on single sliver bullet went into the air.
"Keith!" Brooke yelled running over to the unconscious little boy.
"Luke get the hell out of here now!" Nathan said.
"Come on Callie we're going on a little ride." Lucas said picking up the little girl.
"Not with her." Nathan yelled grabbing Callie away from Luke.
"Uncle Nafan what's going on?" Callie wondered.
"Go back to your room babe." Brooke said as Callie walked slowly away.
"Get back here." Lucas said pointing the gun at a shaking Callie.
"Lucas put the gun down your scaring her." Brooke said calmly.
"To bad. Kids deserve to be scared once in a while." Lucas laughed wickedly shooting the gun one last time before running out of the house.
-Flashback end-
"Oh god." Karen said breaking into tears wondering what ever happened to the son she raised not some monster that took over his body, "Go to Brooke. I'll make sure Cal is ok."
"She was so scared Karen." Nathan said with tears in his eyes, "We all were."
"It's going to get better." Karen said walking to where Nathan pointed to before.
"Nathan please tell me this was one bad dream?" Brooke asked.
"I wished it was."
"My baby is really gone?"
"Yeah Keith is." Nathan said as he just held Brooke.
"I want to go see Callie." Brooke demanded, "I need to go see her."
"Ok, come on I'll help you."
"I don't need anyone's help." Brooke said wickedly.
"Brooke please?"
"No!" Brooke yelled, "Now just take me to see Callie."
"Ok." Nathan said showing where the room Callie was in.
"Momma?" The little voice said.
"Hey baby-girl." Brooke said crying happy tears.
"It hurts." Callie said as Brooke said climbing on the bed with her.
"I know babe."
"Where's Keith?"
"Um… He's up with Rocky." Brooke said talking about the golden retriever they had.
"Like heaven?"
"Yeah baby girl." Brooke said crying.
"Mrs. Scott?" Dr. Kendal asked walking into the room, "We need to take Callie here to get some test to make sure everything went well."
"Can't you wait?" Brooke said.
"Mrs. Scott it's very important we do this now so we can easily fix it."
"Come on Brooke," Karen said grabbing her daughter-in-laws hand, "let the doctors do what they need to."
"No. I can't leave her side." Brooke said grabbing Callie's hand again.
"Mommy don't leave me!" Cried Callie.
"See can't I just stay with her?" Brooke said.
"I'm sorry but no one is allowed in the room when the testing is going on."
"Then don't do it." Brooke yelled.
"Please Mrs. Scott we need to do this and you need to calm down."
"Come on Brooke." Nathan said.
"No!"
"Brooke we need to go."
"No! I'm staying here with her. I lost one kid today I can't loose another one."
"Mrs. Scott calm down. This isn't good for you or the baby."
"Wait? What?"
One single smile a helping hand

Theres more to life than just to live
