NOTE: Lucas and Brooke are married... sorry I forgot to mention that last chapter!
They all ran to the guest room's spacious closet, on the way Brooke snatched the house phone, because nobody had their cell phone with them. But surprisingly it wouldn't turn on.
"Crap! They must have cut the electricity!" said Lucas while helping Jake and Nathan ply a hanging rod of the wall, and then they locked it into a tight position shutting the door, so no one could get in.
Brooke, Haley and Peyton were huddled in the back of the closet, scared to death. Nathan, Lucas and Jake joined them, holding their girlfriends (or wife) tight. Jake friendly say down next to Peyton, but Peyton could sense a slight bit of awkwardness between the two.
"So Jake, what did you exactly see?" Said Nathan trying to sound as brave as he could.
"There was like four guys with guns and they broke the big window, all I saw was the white in their eyes... they were dressed in all black. Then I ran away." Said Jake
Brooke and Haley started crying into their husbands t-shirts. Peyton stuck her hands into her knees and didn't say anything.
Jake just sat their taking a picture out of his pocket. No one really wanted to mention it, but they all knew it was Jenny. Jenny lit up Jake's life and meant the world to him. If he never saw her again before anything happened, he wouldn't have known what to do with himself. After Haley saw this, she began to sob violently repeating the word "Jamie" constantly. Nathan eyed Lucas worriedly.
Lucas quietly took his large Swiss army knife out of his pocket and put it on the beige carpet bedside him. Brooke saw this and sat up. She scowled.
"What are you going to use that for?" she said
"Just in case." Lucas said.
"Were not going to need a "JUST IN CASE!!" WE ARE GOING TO BE PERFECTLY FINE!" Brooke sobbed.
Peyton urged her over and hugged Brooke. She was being overly emotional that night.
They all were being very silent after 5 minutes. Brooke eventually was back in the clutches of Lucas, but they were still panicked. Peyton just happened to fall asleep on Jakes shoulder, and Haley was holding Nathans hands tightly.
All of the sudden they heard stomping footsteps coming up the stairs, Jake nudged Peyton awake, and Haley dug her head into Nathan's chest., and Brooke held Lucas tightly. Peyton also held Jakes hand. They listened for more.
"John! I found some jewelry in the bathroom! Get up here!" someone yelled.
"Any diamonds?" yelled another unfamiliar voice.
"TWO!" he said happily
Brooke and Haley looked down at their ring fingers and realized both of their wedding rings were not on their fingers, but in the bathroom being stolen. Nathan quieted down Haley before she could let out a loud wail. Brooke just was in complete awe.
All of the sudden they heard the guest room door fling open wildly and harshly. They heard foot steps of about 2 men. They all sat so silent that they were hardly breathing. The men were rummaging through the draws and beds.
Than they heard one man walked over to the closet. Lucas covered Brooke's mouth and picked up the army knife for "just in case."
