I'm not stopping till it's finished. So without further delay here is 19.
Chapter 19
Jealousy
Peyton was one of those people that had a hard time. She had a hard time in life, a hard time finding love, a hard time letting go. She was still having a hard time of accepting things and the situation only got worse when she washed up on the river bank and woke up to the sounds of a barking dog. She must've looked like a river rat cause that dog just wouldn't shut the hell up. She had clawed her way back to the world and managed to slink away into the shadows. She was sitting on the bank as she watched the ambulances pull away and hoped with all in her heart that one or both would stop the flashing lights. That meant the occupant was dead. She never use to hate Haley, she was a mild irritancy yes but she never hated her as much as she did starting the night that Haley stopped her from doing what she had planned to do. She was now left to her own devices now which would turn out to be bad. Without her meds and a reason to be civil Peyton became something she had never intended. She now sat in her dark apartment that had been tossed by the police. There was paint and debris everywhere. Her once clean and calm home was now in as much disarray as her mind. She sat still in the dark plotting. Her mind was increasingly becomeing more and more out of touch with reality. She had convinced herself now that Lucas was being brainwashed by Brooke and Haley. She was now so sure that if she could just get Lucas alone to herself she could remind him of the time they spent together. She was positive that if she was able to do away with Brooke once and for all she'd have him all to herself. Peyton was now completely off the reservation and about to do the unthinkable. A gun was not going to be good enough for this, this was much more personal than that now. She had to be up close and right in Brooke's face when she finally rid the world of Brooke Davis.
Lucas woke up that morning and almost forgot the events of the night before till he felt the softest skin brush across his chest. He opened his eyes to a still darkened room and instantly knew he had the woman he loved sleeping in his arms. She shifted slightly but he still had her tight in his embrace. He closed his eyes and breathed in as deep as he could. This was one of those moments you never wanted to end. It was full of peace, something he hadn't had in a long time. He drifted back to sleep and recalled a time when he had felt this at peace. It was the first time he had ever made love to his Pretty Girl.
The scene was getting bleek. She didn't want to talk or even look at him right now. She had just thrown a jar of peanut butter at his head and he now looked as it slid down the wall to the shards of glass. He couldn't believe it. She almost hit him in the head with that one. He didn't know what came over him. He was across the storage room and had a hold of both her wrists to stop her from thrashing or throwing anything else at him.
"Dammit Brooke will you stop!"
"I'll stop when you stop trying to touch me!"
"Okay if I let you go will you promise to-"
"I'm not promising you anything you self serving asshole."
"Brooke seriously I'm trying to talk to you here."
"Well I don't want to hear it! Why don't you go and find that hot blonde you were talking to at Nathan's party, I'm sure she'd be all ears."
"I don't want her."
"Well then what the hell do you want then Lucas cause it sure as hell isn't to love me!"
"That's the thing baby I-"
Brooke broke away from him long enough to send a jar of peanut butter towards his head. Like a mad man he got ahold of her again but this time he figured words wouldn't be enough so he crashed his lips to hers and kissed her with a sense of urgency. She at first fought hard against it but within seconds she gave in and moaned at the contact of his tongue against hers. When he pulled away he said the only thing that would save him.
"I love you."
He watched as her eyes went from confused to pissed. She reared her hand back and slapped him as hard as she could. He held his face, and moved his jaw back in to place.
"Brooke I-"
"Shut up. I don't want to hear it. You had a chance to tell me, hell you had a bunch of chances but no you were too busy playing the field."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the blonde at the party! She was practically all over you!"
"And the guys weren't all over you. I saw the way Tim and that asshole Felix was eyeing you. And you were all too happy to give them an eyeful."
"So what! I'm single."
"No you're not, we are seperated and-"
"No I remember saying don't ever speak to me again and that usually means we're not together anymore."
"Well I love you, more than I was willing to admit and I can't live without you!"
Brooke opened her mouth to say something but stopped when he continued.
"I can't eat, sleep or think without missing you like crazy! I go to sleep at night and wonder if you're thinking about me, if your heart is hurting as much as mine does?"
"Don't you dare try and weasel your way back in. I said I loved you and you said I care deeply, what the hell was that?"
"It was me being a coward. I was afraid to let you in like that but I realize now that's all I want. I want to love you and have you love me back. Just say that it's not too late. Tell me you still love me."
"I...I...I don't."
"You're lying."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are and I get you're scared to say it but please don't. I promise pretty girl if you give me your heart it'll be forever."
"You can't mean that."
"I do. I mean it enough to let you walk out of here and let you have your space. But just know I am not going to let you go. I love you."
Brooke frowned and stammered over her words, wanting nothing more than to just tell him where can shove it but something in her was drawn in to his blue eyes that looked so sincere. She debated whether to go to him or bang on the door to be let out. She picked the latter.
"Haley Bob James you better open this door right now!"
Lucas looked almost heartbroken. He figured now was a good a time as any to show her how serious he was.
"It's okay Haley you can open the door."
The lock tumbled and the door opened slowly revealing a very timid Haley to a seriously pissed off Brooke. She glared at her something serious before she brushed past her and out of the cafe.
"So I take it it didn't work?"
"Nope. I may be too late Hales."
"Don't worry, she'll come around. If it's one thing I've leared about her since I started dating Nathan it's that she's not a quiter."
Lucas went home that night with the heaviest of hearts. He was sitting in his room looking around it's emptiness trying to figure out what he would do if Brooke doesn't come around. Would he be able to stomach the thought of him never kissing her again? Could he live with the fact that she'd never smile at him again? Could he keep his cool if he saw her in another guys arms? No. No to all of it. He was stretched out on his bed when he heard a knock on his door. He calmed his heart that jumped at the thought it was her. He got up and opened the door to reveal Peyton.
"Hey Peyt. What are you doing here?"
"I just...came by to talk. I know we haven't been buddy buddy for a while but I just got done with Brooke and thought maybe you could use a friend."
"I could. How was she?"
"When I left we had moved past the yelling and cursing of your name and moved to her slamming things and mumbling under her breathe."
"That good huh?"
"Yep. I think you might've screwed up pretty bad Luke."
"I know."
"Well look at it this way, everything happens for a reason right?"
"Maybe. I just wish she'd talk to me."
"Maybe she's not going to. If not what are you going to do?"
"I'll wait for her."
"You? Lucas Scott, the man who loves women would wait for Brooke Davis?"
"I'm not that guy anymore. I'm not angry all the time when I'm with her. I'm not always trying to compete with my ass of a brother and I feel like I can just be calm and happy. I can't go back to being that guy I was before her so the only alternative is to wait."
"What if she moves on?"
"I'll find a way to get with her."
He wouldn't know it but Peyton was trying to reason him out of being with Brooke, just like she had tried to do with Brooke about him. It didn't look like it was working.
"Peyt I don't mean to be an ass but I kinda don't want to have any company after all."
"Why was it something I said?"
"No I ...okay really what I want to do is leave and go to her house and bang on her door till she lets me in and beg her to take me back."
Peyton gave him a half smile, knowing that was the sweetest thing ever but knew it hurt a little. She wanted him to want her as much as she wanted him.
"I understand. I'll go but call me if you want to talk or when she shoots you down."
She made sure to add the 'when she shoots you down' kind of as a parting shot.
"Will do."
He ushered her out his door and stood with his head leaned against the wood, trying to will himself to not go to her. He wanted to, that was the plan, but before could fight himself on it there was another knock at the door. When he opened it he was shocked, there stood his pretty girl in a pair of black jeans and a red tube top, her signature color. He wanted to yank her in but instead just stood aside to let her in. She walked in avoiding his eyes and going to sit on his bed. He in turn closed the door and went to sit next to her on the bed. He put a small amount of distance between them just in case she was coming to break his heart.
"Lucas I-"
"Wait. Before you start I need to know something" he begged and she relented.
"I need to know if what you're about to say is going to hurt me or make me happy because I can't tell by your face. I normally can but...I just really need to know if I have to brace myself."
"It's bad."
Lucas averted his eyes from her to the floor and took a deep breath and sat there waiting for her to break him because that's what would happen if she said anything other than ' I love you'.
"Lucas we are so different. We don't have that much in common or think the same or even like the same things, " Brooke's conversation with Peyton was fresh in her mind. Peyton had all but told her that Lucas only said 'I love you' back because he liked sticking it to Nathan and that since they were so different that maybe they aren't meant to be. Brooke listened to her best-friend not knowing of the ulterior motive that was brewing but she listened as her friend laid it out for her, "...but, that doesn't stop me from feeling the way I feel about you. It doesn't stop me from wanting to be with you all the time. I feel like I learn something new about you or myself every day and I love the fact that we're so different."
He knew she wasn't finished but he still had a feeling she was only stringing him along till he heard what he wanted. He wouldn't get his hopes up though.
"Lucas what I'm trying to say is...this girl that I've become isn't who I was before we met. She's not just a pretty face but she has brains and so much love to give but the main change is that she's afraid. I didn't use to be afraid of anything."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that if I let myself love you it'll destroy me."
"Brooke-"
"No let me finish. I know you don't think you'd hurt me but you already have. When I told you I loved you that was big for me. The only other people I've ever said that to were Nathan and Keith and even then it's not the same so really you are the first person I've ever been in love with. It hurt so bad when you didn't say it back and I think the only reason you're saying it now is because you like being with me to piss Nathan off-"
Lucas couldn't stand sitting this close to her and not kiss her, it was physically impossible. He locked his lips to hers but before he could keep them that way he back away and spoke. His hands were embedded in her locks as he framed her face and stroked her cheeks with his thumbs.
"I love you. I want to be with you for you and no one else. If you just give us a chance and I mean a real chance...we would be so good together. I love you Pretty Girl, so much."
He leaned in and kissed her again this time locking them together and throwing away the key. His body maneuvered over hers as he leaned her back on his bed. He was so glad his mother was gone to Charlotte with Keith because he didn't want to have to stop what he knew they were about to do. Tonight he said he loved her and meant it and the one thing they both wanted to do was make love. His hands made quick work to remove her jeans and his as well. Soon they were on in their underwear and Brooke was really glad she decided to actually put some thought into her bra and panty set before she came over because the way Lucas gazed at her body confirmed she made a good choice. Lucas' lips kissed up her belly to her bra and he stopped to look her in the eyes as if to ask for permission to remove it and when she nodded he got the confirmation he wanted. She leaned up looking into his eyes and he reached behind her and unhooked the strapless bra and held it in his hand as he looked at his girlfriend topless for the first time. Sure he had snuck a hand under her shirt during some heavy make out sessions but it was always above the bra. He never wanted to make her feel too uncomfortable since she was a virgin. Now she seemed more confident now that she had his love and when he leaned down to grab her left breast her eyes fluttered closed. Having that skin on skin touch was like nothing she had ever had. She would always put on the breaks the second he got too close to the panties or bra but this time his hands gripped her firmly as he leaned down to kiss her. He felt her tense up a little when his hips dropped and rolled into her parted legs and he was about to lift up and stop but she grabbed the back of his head and held him there as thy continued to kiss. His left hand trailed lower to her panties and she let out an involuntary moan that he didn't expect.
"You okay pretty girl...we don't have to-"
She put her finger to hush his back peddling.
"I want this Lucas. Two people in love should never have to go without this and I know now that that's what we are, two people in love and I want to give everything to you."
"I...baby I just know this is going to hurt and I want to make sure this is everything you wanted."
"It is, and I know you'll take care of me."
"I will. I promise."
He leaned down to kiss her as his hand darted under the waistband and then he was there. She felt his fingers graze over her womanhood and for the first time she was more than ready to do away with her virginity. She knew it would hurt but she also knew Lucas would make it okay. She trusted that. His fingers were slightly teasing but the second one finger slipped in she got this warm sensation that began to build in her and grew with every stretch of his fingers. His lips still commanded hers is the longest and hottest kiss she had ever had with him and it only got better. He released her lips and kissed his way to her neck and the second his lips left hers she began moan. Lucas decided to take it as if she was enjoying herself so he pushed further. This time while his hand still worked he pushed his knee out to widen her legs as he began to rub at her clit. She bucked at the added pressure and attacked his lips to give her some relief. Her hips were now moving slightly with his movements while they kissed with so much love and passion. She could feel a small tremor begin that began to shake her body and a small tingle grew till she was screaming. Her first orgasm that wasn't from her own work was exactly what she had pictured it to be. Lucas' hand slowed to a halt, as did the kiss. He opened his eyes to look at a panting Brooke who was coming down from her high and loved the way his angel looked. She was even more sexier than he had imagined.
"Make love to me Lucas."
He didn't need to be told twice. Suddenly the gentleness he displayed so far was beginning to wane when he gripped her panties and practically ripped them away causing Brooke to yelp out in surprise.
"Sorry. I just really...really...REALLY want to be with you."
Brooke smiled because now she knew he was as nervous about this as she was.
"It's okay."
"It will be. We have all night."
"I certainly hope you don't plan to keep me awake the whole time."
"Baby once the sex flood gates open there's no stopping me."
"I love you."
"I love you more Pretty Girl."
"Not possible, not even a little."
"Oh it is."
He lifted from the bed to grab a condom he kept in his jeans for just such an occasion as this so when the moment presented itself with her he'd be ready. He dropped his boxers and covered himself with the contraceptive and joined Brooke back on the bed.
"If you want to stop now it's okay, just say so and we'll stop baby."
"No. I want to do this. I want you."
Hearing the words 'I want you' from Brooke Davis' lips proves to be one of the biggest turn on's ever. He dove in to claim her lips again as he gripped himself to ready for entry and with one movement of his hips Lucas was joined to Brooke in a way they had never been before. The connection was almost too much for him. Her legs were tightly coiled around him and getting tighter. He had claimed something from her that no other man would ever be able to and that in its self was amazing. She was untouched and he knew that for a fact now as he pushed all the way in and stayed still. Her body was spasming from the pain and Lucas only watched his love as she adjusted to being a woman. His woman. Back when they first started he never wanted to believe that she and Nathan hadn't slept together but tonight proved what they had said all along. She had been a virgin and she chose to give her virginity to Lucas. He was on cloud nine as he waited for her walls to unclench from the invasion and when they did he began kissing her once more as he moved his hips sligtly. At first the nails being dug into his back hurt like hell but now that they had started to enjoy the feel of each other the way her nails scratched down his back turned him on even more. She was now moving with him as he moved within her and as much as he wanted to, holding out was becoming hard. She was moaning into his mouth from the friction their bodies created and when she ripped her lips away from his to scream out in absolute pleasure he knew he'd have to make her do that again but before he did he decided to let his release go. He didn't want to wildly thrust but somehow it ended up being that way and his grunts grew louder as her moans became screams once more. Five strokes later he spilled out into her and crashed his lips back into hers again. They stayed connected like that for a few minutes as they both came down and Lucas slowly withdrew himself from her, now revealing the crimson proof of what he knew when they started. He laid on his stomach next to her and drapped his arm across her chest and kissed her shoulder. Brooke was silent and Lucas now felt guilty thinking he had ruined this for her but when he saw the smile creep onto her face as her breaths evened out he knew better. He leaned up to kiss her swollen red lips and allowed himself to enjoy this moment of peace. There was a stillness that came over them as she fell asleep in his arms. Neither had ever felt so loved, so whole, so right. It was proof that they belonged together just like Lucas thought.
Lucas was first to wake up once more and found himself squeezing his wife to be in his arms. She stretched against him briefly before he heard a content sigh escape her lips.
"Good afternoon Pretty Girl."
"Afternoon?"
"Yep."
"I had no idea I was that tired. Being pregnant sure can take it out of you."
"How are mommy and baby?"
"Well mommy is feeling well rested and my little freeloader seems to be just fine too."
"I don't know if I feel okay with you calling my baby 'a little freeloader'."
"Well tough. It was either that or a leech because the baby sucks the energy out of me."
"Well maybe I should have a talk with him or her cause you guys got a long way to go before the big event."
"Big event? More like the day from hell."
"Oh come on, giving birth won't be that bad."
"Tell you what, why don't you carry the baby then and I'll be the supportive parent to be."
"I don't think it works like that Pretty Girl."
"Damn, oh well I guess I'll just have to suck it up then."
Brooke lay in his arms a few more minutes till she started to feel those familiar cravings creep up. She rolled over still in his embrace and
"So how does hubby to be feel about grabbing his baby mama some fudge browines with ice cream from his mom's cafe?"
"I'd say hubby to be would be happy to get his baby mama/ future wife anything she wants."
"Anything she wants huh?"
"Anything."
"So if she wanted to have hubby to be make love to her after said brownie and ice cream are consumed do you think he'd be up for that?"
"Oh I'm sure he'd be up for it anytime. So wife to be what kind of ice cream are you wanting?"
"Chocolate and strawberry swirl. Yeah that sounds perfect."
"You're perfect."
"You're only saying that because I'm carrying you kid."
"That's part of it but what other woman do you know would be able to do it so well I mean you don't even look pregnant."
"Thank god for small favors."
"Is it okay to be this happy?"
"Lucas I think you and I both have been through enough to deserve a little happiness."
"But this is way beyond a little happiness I mean I think the only thing that would make this better is if we find out we're having a boy."
"So you want a boy?"
"I'd love to have boy. Girls are trouble. I mean as a brother I love Lily but as a father I don't want to have to kill anyone for messing with my little girl."
"Don't I know it Broody. I guess you're right. I think I'd like to have a boy first so the girl we have next will have a big brother to protect her."
"I think whatever we have is just an added bonus," Lucas said sliding down her body and focusing his attention on her still flat belly. He lifted her shirt enough so he could get an unobstructed view, " I mean how great is it that there is a little baby in there. A baby that's part you," he kissed her stomach lightly, " and part me."
"I know it's pretty great huh?"
"It is. I mean this is like the greatest gift you could give me baby."
"Well if you want to thank me you can go get my brownies and ice cream because baby and me say so."
"I'm on it Pretty Girl."
"Oooo and can you get one of those bacon cheese bugers with avocado?"
"Can do baby. Can I get a kiss before I go?"
He rolled over on top of her and kissed her lips. She pushed him up when she felt him trying to deepen the kiss."
"No previews, food now."
"Okay, okay I'm going. Try not to miss me too much while I'm gone" he said as he placed another kiss on her stomach."
"I'll try Broody. I love you."
"I love you more."
"Not possible."
Lucas got up and got dressed fairly quickly and headed to Karen's Cafe. He had a feeling he'd be showing up there almost every day the further Brooke got along. His mother would be happy to say the least. He entered the cafe and was shocked to see it was so empty.
"Lucas honey what are you doing out so late?"
"Brooke wanted something from here so I was volunteered to go."
"Soooo you have anything you need to share there son?"
He looked over at his mother who looked like she was trying to hide the biggest smile ever. He couldn't understand how she knew so fast but figured he's let her know.
"Uhhhh yeah I guess so. I asked Brooke to marry me."
"Oh Lucas honey I'm so-wait what?"
Karen was expecting the baby news.
"Yeah and uh when I asked she told me she was pregnant."
"Now that's what I was expecting."
"Wait you knew about the baby?"
"Yes. You know Brooke's like a daughter to me...besides Haley let it slip."
"Haley knew?"
"Yes but just us...and that Jake guy."
"Mom are you seriously telling me everyone knew about MY baby before me?"
"Well...look at it this way, she told you now."
"I'll have to make sure to have a nice talk with my fiancé when I get back."
"Okay change of subject, what does Brooke want?"
"Hot fudge brownie with chocolate and strawberry ice cream and a bacon cheese burger with avocado."
"Wow, well it may be still a little too early to tell but I think the brownies might be her craving. That and the avocado."
"Why do you say that?"
"Just that every time she's in here she gets one or the other, One time she got avocado on her browine."
"Ewww that sounds gross."
"Just you wait, pregnant women can have the strangest cravings, it won't be long before she's sending you out to several different places at all hours of the night."
"Seriously?"
"Well look at it this way, she's going to push out my first grandchild and it won't be easy so a few midnight runs here and to across two is more than fair."
"I guess."
"Well have a seat and I'll get her food together. You want anything?"
"No I'll just share-"
"I wouldn't advise that sweetheart, pregnant women don't share."
"Okay I guess let me just get a burger to go."
"Comin' right up. Congratulations again sweetheart."
Lucas smiled knowing that his mother was just as happy as he was about the two new additions to the Scott family. His thoughts drifted to Keith. He knew Keith would've been the first person to call and share the news. Hell he probably would've helped him pick out the ring and asked advice on the proposal. He missed Keith. He knew that he would've been happy about the baby too. Grandpa Keith. It would've had a great ring to it.
It took Karen all of fifteen minutes to get all of the food packed and ready to go. Lucas drove home as fast as he could do get back to his waiting pregnant fiancé and couldn't wait to have her back in his arms. He pulled up and hopped out the car with both bags in hand and started to feel a little peckish himself. He walked in and heard the radio in the other room. The music sounded a little depressing for the mood he was in but figured he better get used to the pregnancy mood swings now.
"Babe will you please turn that stuff off. It's giving me a head ache" he yelled jokingly. He took his food out and put her Ice cream in the fridge. He walked towards the living room fully expecting to see her there but the room was empty. He turned the radio off and called out to her.
"Brooke baby where are you?"
No answer. Maybe she was asleep. He walked up the stairs with the food in hand and saw the bedroom door cracked. She must have gone downstairs to grab something to drink and then fallen back asleep. He used his foot to push the door open but what he would see was the last thing he wanted. Peyton was sitting on the edge of his bed. She didn't move when he dropped the food. She was too busy looking at the knife in her hand as she twirled it around slowly. The red on her hands and face made him sick to his stomach but the first thing he thought of was Brooke.
"Brooke!"
"She won't answer" Peyton said softly as she kept her focus on the knife. Lucas looked at her and rushed to yank her up and make her tell him where Brooke was.
"Peyton what the fuck did you do!"
"I made it so we can be together."
Lucas eyes narrowed in on the form that was laying on the floor by the bed. There was nothing he could do to brace himself for the pain that shot through him as he looked at her lifeless body. The blood surrounded her on the floor. He tried to push Peyton to get to her but Peyton wouldn't let got. He felt a rush of rage come over him and tossed her aside.
"She's dead Lucas, just let her be and we can be together. Please Lucas."
Lucas was now kneeled down on the ground and looked over Brooke's stilled form, his fingers running through his hair. He wanted to reach out and touch her but he was at a loss. His next thought was about the baby when he saw all the blood up close.
"I need..I need to call-"
"Lucas look at me!"
"Goddammit Peyton, what did you do to her" he said as he tried to keep his emotions in check.
"I did this for you Lucas, for us. WE BELONG TOGETHER!"
He shot up from the floor and went in search of his phone dragging Peyton out the room with him. He wasn't about to leave her in there with Brooke, even if he did hate leaving her alone. He made one step, two steps then on the third his world went fuzzy. The pain in his chest now was more than figurative and now he found himself suffering from an episode due to his HCM. There was nothing he could do as he tumbled down the steps. Peyton called after him and rushed to his side. His struggled but was able to say one last thing before the darkness overtook him.
"I hate you, you runined my life."
Haley was happy. Happier than ever. Her parents had come to pick Jamie up a while ago so he'd stay with them while she and Nathan left on their honeymoon. They were suppose to leave right after the reception but Haley was just too tired. They decided to leave today but before they went Haley insisted they go over to Lucas'. She hadn't heard from Brooke since the wedding and was dying to know if she had told Lucas about the baby or if Lucas had popped the question. Nathan could do nothing but laugh at his adorable wife as she bound up the steps and started ringing the doorbell like a child.
"I'm serious Haley, we're only stopping in to say bye and then we leave."
"Fine, fine I got it" she said swatting at her husband and ringing the bell again.
"Maybe they aren't here."
"The car is here. HEY LUCAS GET OFF MY BEST FRIEND AND ANSWER THIS DOOR!"
"Haley they do have neighbors."
"I know that but that's what they get for ignoring me so they can have newly engaged people sex."
"Uhh since when are they engaged?"
"Better be since yesterday. When I was dancing with Lucas I guessed and he said yes. That jerk better not have had cold feet."
"Maybe Brooke said no."
"Please, if Brooke said no then I'm a man."
Haley had enough and started to bang on the door when it unlatched.
"That's weird, Lucas doesn't leave this door unlocked."
Nathan stepped in front of Haley knowing this to be true. He walked in first and making sure to look around.
"Lucas! Brooke! You guys in here" Nathan called out and waited for a response.
"Something's wrong Nate." Haley said quietly feeling the sink in her heart.
"Don't panic, maybe they went for a walk or-"
Nathan's attention was draw to a smear of blood that was on the wall down the stairs.
"Oh my god" Haley got out before Nathan went into protection mode.
"Haley I want you to go get in the car and lock the doors and call the police." He said calmly as he hurriedly looked around for something to defend himself with if it came to it.
"I am not-"
"Haley don't argue." Nathan commanded sternly.
Haley didn't want to but she walked out with a heavy heart and did as she was told. She got in the car and started to cry. She was searching for her phone trying not to fear the worst. She hoped that her husband wouldn't go up the stairs and find the bodies of the friends they loved so dearly but Haley knew if Peyton had done something it wasn't going to end well for her friends. It hit her all of a sudden that she had to go back in and find Brooke.
"The baby" she whispered as she thought of the child Brooke was carrying.
Meanwhile Nathan had slowly climbed the stairs listening for any sounds as he held the bat he found downstairs. He reached the top and saw more blood smeared handprints and suddenly felt sick to his stomach fearing what he would find as he followed the streaks to Lucas' bedroom. He rounded the corner and almost fainted at the sight of Brooke laying in a pool of her own Blood. He knees buckled but he managed to hold onto the door frame to steady himself. He heard Haley calling from downstairs.
"Nathan! Where are you?"
"Don't come up here Haley, just stay down there" he said rising to his feet and rushing to Brooke's side and trying not to choke on his own words at the sight in front of him. He should've know that telling Haley something like that would only make her skip up those steps two at a time and get to him faster. When she reached the top and saw the blood streaks she followed them just as Nathan had and happened across Nathan leaning over Brooke who was face down and pale.
"OH MY GOD BROOKE!"
"Stay over there" Nathan demanded as he searched for a pulse while he fumbled to get his phone and dial 911. 'Come on Brookie' he said under his breath willing her to live. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt one and looked over at his wife who was crying uncontrollably and wanting to go over to them but instead stayed put like Nathan said and hugged herself. Nathan himself was losing the battle to hold back the tears and keep his voice steady.
"Yes I'm at 4622 Harvest Lane and I found my best-friend, it looks like she's been stabbed and she's bleed out a lot I need an ambulace."
"It's alright sir I'll send them out now. What's your name?"
"Nathan, Nathan Scott and her name is Brooke Davis."
"Tell them she's pregnant" Haley chocked out as she fell to her knees and kept her eyes on her friend.
"What?"
"Just tell them. She's two months pregnant. She was so happy." She whispered the last part still trying to come to terms with what she was seeing.
"Yes my wife just told me my friend is two months pregnant. Please hurry."
"We will sir just stay with me. Now was there anyone there at the house with her?"
"I don't know, my brother probably. He's missing and I'm afraid something happened to him too."
"Don't worry the police are on their way, do you hear the sirens?"
"Yeah I hear them."
"Make sure they can get in so they can help your friend and I'll stay on the line."
Nathan felt little comfort but followed the woman's instructions but not before he talked to Haley who was all but zoned out on Brooke's stilled form.
"Haley baby" Haley's attention snapped from Brooke to Nathan and the tears started to spill. "I'm gonna go down stairs and let them in, you stay here and watch her okay, don't move her."
Haley quickly nodded and Nathan took off down the stairs. Once he was gone she crawled over to Brooke and placed her hand on hers.
"My god Tigger don't die. Please don't die."
The paramedics ran into the room pushing Haley to the side and Nathan walked in and picked her up from the floor and cradled her in his arms. They watched as the paramedics turned Brooke over. Her skin was as pale as stone and the only color visible was on her face from the blood. It was everywhere. They estimated that she must've been like that for at least a half hour or more. They rushed Brooke away and for the second time Nathan watched helplessly as they carried away another one of his loved ones in an ambulance.
"Nathan where is Lucas?" she said through her tears.
"I don't know baby. I don't know.
Cue the dramatic music. BUM BUM BUM. I know horrible. Poor Brooke can't seem to stay out of the hospital. Well if you guys are still out there drop a line and let me know what you thougt. REVIEW!
