Thank you so much for the reviews! I love to hear people's comments!! THANK YOU!! I know this is a shorter chapter... but the next will be long i promise!!
For about 0.2 of a second they stood there, just staring at each other. Then Peyton ran a beeline for the guy and screamed. Everyone darted toward her. They thought she was hurt until they saw the man falling to the ground, a Swiss army knife in his chest, blood pouring out of his body. His eyes bulged and he tried to make out his last words, "why?" Peyton stood up.
"How the hell did you do that?" Said Haley astonished.
Peyton dusted off her hands and said, "I had a lot of practice on Derek." Everyone stared and thought her brother?? She rolled her eyes. "The crazy one." She finished.
They all hurried to the attic steps, and climbed through the window and on to the balcony. They didn't even notice the dark clouds above them. Then they had to shimmy down the chimney. Nathan held onto the chimney and carefully demonstrated how the rest should go down. Then he helped Haley, Brooke and Peyton onto the third floor roof. Jake and Lucas independently managed down the chimney.
Jake peered over the edge of the roof.
"Its way down, and really dangerous." Said Jake nervously
Peyton peered over the roof. She felt two small raindrops fall onto the tip of her nose. Then four, and then hundreds. The winds blew strongly and then they saw lightning flash. Then thundering.
"Shit! It's raining!" said Brooke trying to cover her hair.
"We have to jump soon or will be fried by lightning!!" yelled Lucas over the storm.
"Haley and I will go first." Volunteered Nathan, he looked over the edge, and noticed a spot of mud, sand and sea grass. Nathan pointed to that spot and instructed the group to aim for there. Haley grasped Nathan's hands and said a prayer before jumping. Then they both ran and jumped off the roof, screaming. They landed in the spot and eventually got up in shock that they even survived the high jump.
"Were okay!" said Nathan, loud enough that they could hear him, but soft enough that the robbers couldn't. "Let Peyton and Jake go next!"
Peyton uncomfortably held onto Jake and jumped. They also landed safely. Next it was Lucas and Brookes turn.
Brooke had a look in her eyes that Lucas hadn't seen in their whole marriage. It was a look of extreme agony and nerves.
"What's wrong? We have to jump quickly!" said Lucas. Brooke sounded like she had something in her throat. She couldn't say the words she wanted to and nothing would come out.
"I- I'm..." she tried.
Tears became rushing down her face. A bolt of lightning zapped the roof quickly, and Lucas tugged Brooke off the roof before she got hit. Brooke finally found her words.
"LUCAS! I'M PREGNANT!" she said while falling from the roof, onto the hard ground.
