Before everything went black
It had been 2 weeks since the attack and everyone had noticed how different Brooke had been acting but no one knew why well no one except Lucas. Brooke and Lucas had grown really close over the past 2 weeks and no matter where Brooke was Lucas was never far away. It was lunchtime at school and everyone was sitting at a table.
"Brooke you ok babe" Lucas asked
"yeah I'm fine why do you ask" she replied
"it's just your not eating anything again" he replied concerned
"oh I …um had a big breakfast" she replied planting a fake smile on her face
"if you'll um excuse me" Brooke said getting up and walking to the bathroom
"I'm really worried about Brooke….I'm going to go and see if she's alright" Peyton said
Peyton got up from the table and followed Brooke to the bathroom. When she got there she heard someone being sick.
"Br…Brooke are you ok" she asked worriedly
"yeah I'll be out in a minute" Brooke replied between heaves
When Brooke had finished she walked over to the sink and washed her face as Peyton watched.
"Brooke are you ok I'm really worried about you"
"yeah I'm fine why"
"it's just that you've not been eating and I come in here and find you vomiting your guts up" Peyton said
"Oh I think I've got a bug or something" she said rolling her sleeves up to wash her hands
"oh my god Brooke what are those marks on your arms did you……did you do that to yourself" a shocked Peyton asked
"what no don't be so stupid that's more your style you're the emo….only joking I fell ok that's all"
"no Brooke for the past 2 weeks you have been avoiding all my questions now tell me what's going on I'm your best friend ill always be there for you you know that"
"look Peyton just leave it ok" Brooke replied crying
"no Brooke I won't tell me what's the matter"
"no I can't I'm too ashamed it was my fault you'll…..you'll never understand" Brooke said breaking down
Peyton made her way over to Brooke as she collapsed on the floor
"Brooke I'm sure I will understand please just tell me I'm here for you"
"ok…I'll….I'll tell you do you remember the game after we beat the Bear Creak Warriors well I was walking home because my car was in the shop when…..when someone grabbed me he pinned me against the wall and then he……then he raped me I tried to get him to stop but he just told me that I wanted it because I was a slut". Brooke finished crying.
Peyton just sat there staring at Brooke
"Brooke I um… I um"
"I'm sorry I've got to go" Brooke said running out of the bathroom
"Brooke wait" Peyton shouted
Brooke ran all the way back to her house once there she went into her dads liquor cabinet she grabbed a bottle of vodka and went upstairs to her room. She sat on her bed and broke down. She went into the bathroom and got the razor blade she slowly lifted up her sleeve and dragged the sharp razor deep across her wrist and watched the blood pouring out. She started to feel light headed when
"OH MY GOD Brooke what are you doing"
"Peyt….Peyton" Brooke said before everything went black…….
Tell me what you think. R+R
