"It's ok." Quinn soothed rubbing her best friend's back as she laid curled up on her bed, "You're going to be ok." She promised pulling the sheet over her friend's shaking body.

"I didn't mean to Quinn. I promised I didn't mean too." Brooke whispered holding her pillow close to her, "I didn't mean too."

"I know Sky, I know you didn't."

"Please…please don't call me that." She begged not feeling like Sky anymore. Not feeling like the bright side of life or the sky's the limit anymore. She doesn't feel anything anymore, just numb.

"Brooke maybe I should take you to the hospital." Quinn thought knowing Brooke needed to, she couldn't just not go, what if something was wrong, what if he had a disease, what if she hell forbid got pregnant. She needed to check herself.

"No." Brooke shook her head, "I'm not going. I don't want to go, I just want today to have not happened."

"I know honey. I know you do. God I am so sorry I made you come tonight." She pulled her best friend's shaking body into her holding her tight, "I shouldn't have made you come."

"Quinn I still feel him on me, in me. I feel so dirty." Brooke cried, wrapping her sheet tight around her.

"I know baby I know you do." Quinn rubbed the top of her head cursing everything in her for this happening to her best friend. She was supposed to protect Brooke, that was always what she did and she failed tonight. She failed so badly.

"Did you call Felix?"

"Yeah I did. He is on his way." Quinn told her actually surprised how worried Felix got. She had never heard him sound so concerned. Yeah it was terrible what happened to Brooke, what went down but she never thought Felix would show a caring side.

"Quinn you think I killed him?" Brooke whispered looking up at her like a child begging her parent to make it all ok.

"No B, you didn't kill him." She lied trying to not hurt her friend anymore, "He was ok."

"Natilley what did I do?" her voice cracked as her body shivered. The room really wasn't that cold, being it was the summer and they were close to the beach, but her body was still shaking. Everything was shaking and she was more than sure if her best friend wasn't holding her arm right now she would crumple to the ground like a house of cards.

"Nothing…" Quinn shook her head knowing her best friend was scared if she called her by her real name, "Sky look at me." she ordered but her friend stood still, "Damn it Brooke look at me!" she yelled grabbing her chin and yanking her eyes away from the scene. "You did nothing. It was an accident." She told her but her best friend's hazel eyes looked back at the motionless figure on the bed.

"An accident." She whispered wishing she could do this whole night over. That she didn't come to this party, didn't drink too much and didn't let this guy lead her up to a bedroom. Cause if none of that happened, then this wouldn't have happened.

"Yes and accident and we are going to fix it." Quinn promised looking back at the guy and Brooke, "Ok what I want you to do is take my keys and go get in my car. Don't talk to anyone, don't stop or look at anyone just get in my car ok?" She told her, "Brooke!" She yelled shaking her shoulders so she looks back at her, "Sweetie go get in my car ok?"

"Ok." Brooke nodded holding out her hand taking her friend's keys before slowly moving backwards towards the door.

"Brooke go!" Quinn repeated and her friend took off out of the bedroom, "God." She covered her mouth tip toeing over and bending down checking his pulse, "Oh god." She cried when she barley found one grabbing the phone off the night stand and dialing 911.

"Hello 911 what is your emergency?"

"I…I found someone." Quinn mumbled into the phone standing up and grabbing the bat off the ground, "He is barely breathing and his bleeding. God there is so much blood." She cried into the phone taking her t-shirt and wiping up and down the handle before tossing it back in the closet.

"Ok honey I need you to calm down and tell me where you are?"

"I don't know…umm it's a party…We are at a party, I don't know if he is ok." She freaked looking around the room grabbing anything that might belong to Brooke, "He isn't moving." She cried as tears spilled from her eyes looking at the body.

"Ok I need you to tell me where you are. Give me a distribution of where it is?"

"Umm…beach…we are on the beach. It's the big old beach house at the top of Cumber Drive."

"Ok we will send someone right out. Ma'am I need-" and Quinn hung up before the woman finished wrapping the phone down with her shirt before tossing it on the bed. She gave the room on last look over looked at her friend's bloody clothes in her hand, tossing one last look at the guy on the ground then left.

"Brooke?" Felix called taking up the stairs finding his girlfriend laying on the bed, "God Brooke…" He shook his head, "Baby you ok?" He pulled Brooke away from Quinn.

"No." Brooke cried curling her body into Felix, "I'm not even close." She sobbed in his arms as Quinn rubbed her back, "I hit him Felix; I hit him with a bat and he wasn't moving when I left."

"It's ok…its alright. Don't…don't think about it." Felix closed his eyes shaking his head of it all.

"God I feel so gross." Brooke climbed away from them, "I need a shower; god I need a shower." She slammed the bathroom door.

Quinn sat on the bed with Felix as they heard the shower start; she felt so guilty, so terrible and she wanted to make things right for her but she didn't know how, "She won't go to the hospital."

"You can't force her if she doesn't want to Quinn." Felix hissed climbing off the bed picking Brooke's ripped shirt off the ground, "Why the hell did you take her there? I told her not to go; I swear I don't get why the hell she is friends with you! This is all your fault Quinn do you know that!" He snapped and for once with him yelling Quinn stayed quiet; she sat on the bed, staring at the bathroom door where her friend had locked herself away.

"I know." Quinn whispered as a tear slipped out of her eye onto the bed, "I know it's my fault."

"Your damn right it is! Jesus Christ Quinn you are supposed to protect her!" He yelled, "That bullshit of you telling me to not be so stupid because you were there and she was safe is bullshit!"

"I know ok! I know it's my fault! God I walked in on my best friend getting rapped! Don't tell me how bad I should feel ok because I feel it!" She climbed off the bed digging through Brooke's dresser for something to put on; her clothes them self feeling dirty, gross, "I think he is dead Felix." She told him in a calmer tone, "I called an ambulance but he wasn't breathing."

"God." Felix ran his hand through his hair, "She can't know that. There is to much going on right now and you can't tell her that."

"I'm not stupid Felix; I wouldn't tell her that." Quinn rolled her eyes pulling off her shirt letting it join Brooke's pile of clothes and pulling on a t-shirt.

"Well if they try something you have to take the blame. I will not let her go down for you being a dumbass!" He yelled in her face before walking away slamming the door behind him to help Brooke.

Quinn stood swallowing the lump in her throat. Felix was right; she hated it but it was right she would have to cover for her best friend. She wouldn't have a choice because it was her fault everything was all her fault. She hated it here; she didn't want to be here anymore and wanted to be back home with her friends, with her family and with the people who would make all this ok.

Brooke ran the water all over her body scrubbing every part of her over and over until her skin was red and raw. No matter how much she scrubbed she didn't feel better. She didn't feel clean and it was driving her nuts. The water was hot her skin felt the burning but she didn't care; she wanted to feel clean again.

"You're so hot you know that."

"You really are a tease."

"I spent the whole night with you and I think I deserve something out of it!"

Brooke scrubbed harder hearing his voice over and over again in her head. His hands touching her, his lips on her neck and his taste in her mouth.

The tears spilled out faster mixing with the hot water as it ran down her face. Her strawberry scent body wash filled the air but all she could smell was cigarettes and beer.

"Brooke…" She heard the door close and froze, "Brooke, baby are you ok?" Felix asked walking into the steam filled room.

"Felix please don't come in here." She begged standing still in the water not wanting him to see her naked, not the bruises all over her body and legs, not the bruises on her wrist that had gotten worse from where he grabbed her.

"I just want to make sure your ok." He sat down on the toilet seat hearing the sobs come from the other side of the curtain.

"I'm fine." She lied scrubbing her skin even harder, "I'm fine."

"Brooke…" He reached the curtain.

"Felix go away!" Brooke yelled seeing his hand on the curtain, "Just leave me alone." She begged and let out a sigh of relief when his hand dropped and she heard him stand up.

"I'll be in the bedroom." He said pausing at the door before walking out.

"I'm fine." She repeated when she heard the door closed finally turning off the water and wrapping her towel tight around her body before stepping out.

Wiping the steam away from the mirror she looked at her reflection; the mark across her face, the bite marks along her neck and collar bone, her swollen lip, her face looked exhausted, her body was hurting and everything still felt dirty.

"Pick up, pick up, pick up." Quinn shook on the balcony begging for the line to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Mommy…" Quinn broke as soon as she heard her mother's voice. She was fine, she was ok but as soon as the familiar voice she has missed rang through the line she was done.

"Quinn baby what's wrong?" Lydia tossed a glance as her husband before climbing out of the bed making sure not to wake him.

"Mommy I want to come home." Quinn cried, "Please let me come home."

"Quinn, sweetie what is going on? What is wrong?" She asked confused wrapping herself in her robe not getting it. Last time she talked to Kim, Quinn was doing great, she was loving her school, and friends and everything; so she was confused to why she was calling her at 5 in the morning crying.

"It's bad, really bad and I can't fix it. I messed up and I can't fix it." She rambled just wanting her mom to fix everything like she use too yet knew it was impossible; her mom wasn't going to be able to fix this.

"Quinn just tell me what is going on." Lydia repeated as she heard a sob on the other line as Quinn started to talk, "Oh my god Quinn."

Brooke with swollen eyes walked back into her room sniffling. She couldn't cry anymore; she didn't think it was possible for anymore tears to come out and she was so tired; she just wanted to sleep for the next week alone in her bedroom.

"Brooke you ok?" Felix asked as Brooke walked in almost zombie like to her bed and crawling on top wrapping her sheet tight around her, "Do you want some water or something? Hot tea?" He offered but Brooke just stayed still staring at the wall with an emotionless expression on her face, "I'll get you some hot tea." He stood up kissing the top of her head as he walked out of the room.

Brooke laid still blinking as Quinn walked back into the room and climbing next to her on the bed, "You ok?" Quinn asked knowing that was stupid as Brooke shook her head no, "I'm sorry." She apologized as Brooke took her hand wrapping it around her, "I'm so sorry B." She repeated kissing the side of her friend's head, "Brooke…I… I want to leave here." She admitted and Brooke flipped over on her side to face her friend.

"You're leaving me?" Brooke's voice cracked.

"No… no I'm not." Quinn shook her head, "Brooke I want to go back home, be with my family because I can't be here anymore. I called my mom…"

"You told her what happened!" Brooke flew up to look at her friend, "You told her what I did?"

"You didn't do anything!" Quinn stated, "Brooke you did nothing wrong; this wasn't your fault. If its anyone's fault its mine ok! This is all my fault." She teared up as Brooke stayed quiet looking at her, "I want to be away from here. I don't want to go to school hearing any of it or anything. I am going back home and if you want to come with me I want you too."

"Quinn…" Brooke shook her head, "I can't just leave here."

"Why? What is keeping you here? Your parents are never home, you really can't stand half the people here and other then me you hang out with pretty much no one because they annoy you. Why can't you just come to Tree Hill? We will get an apartment, transfer schools and just start over. No one will know what happened here."

"What about Felix?"

"Screw Felix!" Quinn got off the bed, "I don't care about him ok, all I care about is you being alright and I can't leave here knowing you're not."

"Then don't leave me!" Brooke yelled, "Quinn you are my best friend don't leave me please. I need you; I need you now more than ever don't go please."

"Brooke I have too." She said in a calmer tone walking over and sitting down next to her friend on the bed, "Just come with me ok. I can't go back to Tree Hill alone; I need you there with me. We will go and get an apartment, mom is already looking for one and tell your parents to just send money to that new address instead of your house every week and we will just start all over."

"All over?" Brooke asked as Quinn nodded. That wouldn't be so bad; no one there would know what happened to her, what she did, she wouldn't hear about some guy getting hurt at the party over the weekend or have the fear of everyone finding out about her. Quinn was right, her parents wouldn't care, her parents don't care just send a check every week so what would it matter that check going to a new address. Yet right now starting over sound fantastic and everything else just didn't seem to matter, all that mattered was getting out, getting away so the only question she had was, "When can we leave?"
