„Nooooo", Peyton screamed and felt helpless realizing that Brooke had not come up again. Her tears went down like a river and then she lay down on the ground and went crawling over the ice. She knew that there was a chance that the ice under her would break, but now her complete weight was not on one spot and in fact she did not care. The problem was, that the ice was full with snow and she did not know where Brooke was. „Broooooooke!"

Fortunaltey the moon made enough light so she could still see anything. She heard bumps not far away and pushed the snow to the side with her glove. It was a picture she would never forget. She saw Brooke under the ice trying to get out. Peyton then took a stone and hit the ice. The ice did not broke immediately but when it broke she didn´t not fell into the water-like a wonder. „C´mon", She managed to get Brookes jacket and pulled hard. Unfortunately Brooke could not help her and was very heavy with all the water soaked into her clothes. Brooke´s eyes were closed and her head hung lifeless down to the front „Don´t you die on me, B. Davis. C´mon", she screamed and suddenly got her out of it. They weren´t far away from the ground and Peyton pulled her along with her. Finally they were away from the river and Peyton looked panickly at her friend. „C´mon. Open your eyes", she slapped her a little and felt how cold she was. Brooke´s lips weren´t red any more, she had lost her shoes and her clothes were wet and cold. „Brooke!", Peyton screamed again and opened her jacket to hear her heartbeat. But she did not hear a thing. So she did what she once had learned. She hit her hard on the chest a few times and then started to reanimate her. „One...two...three...C´mon Brooke. Wake up...", she heard something cracking in Brooke´s body and then again blew oxygen into her mouth again and again. Suddenly she heard a big gasp coming out of Brooke´s mouth and then all the water she had drunken while nearly drowning being spit out. Peyton took Brooke´s head into her lap and hugged her tightly „Oh god. I thought I have lost you. Oh god...", Peyton could not control her sobs until Brooke took her hand very weakly and smiled „C...cooo...ld" Then Peyton realized how much Brooke shook. Of course she was freezing even more than before. „We have got to get you to the car.", Peyton whispered and tried to help Brooke standing up. But Brooke had closed her eyes again and didn´t move a bit. „Brooke"; Peyton screamed alarmed but immediately looked into her big eyes. „I...just...wanna sleep.", she said but received a soft slap from Peyton. „Don´t you dare sleeping. Now c´mon", with that she lifted her up on her shoulders. Brooke was too weak to even lift up her head and just layed it on Peyton´s shoulder. Of course it wasn´t easy for Peyton to carry Brooke but at the moment she did not care and walked back to the car. „Stay with me, ok", she said to Brooke who had trouble breathing and shivered even more. „Ok." Brooke answered kindly. Peyton realized that it was not easy for Brooke not to close her eyes. „Do you remember when I had my first kiss?", Peyton asked trying everything to let Brooke stay awake. „Of course", Brooke smiled weakly.

Flashback

Peyton and Brooke were nine years old and at the birthday party of their friend Julia. Julia just turned 11 years old and had decided to throw a big children-party. There were five boys and five girls sitting on the ground and playing truth or dare. „Brooke. Truth or dare."

Brooke looked at the bigger boy and decided to take „dare". „Okay, I dare you kissing John on the mouth for ten seconds.". Brooke widened her eyes „Ew, that´s disgusting. I won´t do that." She answered but knowing that you were never allowed not to do the dare. But at the moment she was in a phase in which she hated boys. They always teased her, were dirty and smelled bad in her opinion. „But if you don´t do it, you have to drink this.", the boy took something out of his pocket. It was a little bottle of whiskey. „ I am not allowed to drink alcohol idiot", she answered. „Like your parent care." Said another boy immediately and gave her the bottle. Peyton could feel that Brooke was not sure what to do and said „I take her dare". They had the rule, that one time one could take the dare of another person. Brooke looked stunned at her and widened her eyes when Peyton went to the boy and kissed him on the lips for 10 seconds. John looked so stunned and red that the others laughed.

Later that night Brooke and Peyton talked in bed „Wasn´t that disgusting?", Brooke asked. „No. I kinda liked it.", Peyton smiled at the stunned Brooke. „Well, thanks. But I will definitely never kiss any one." Brooke said not realizing that this would change fast.

„You stole my first kiss.", Brooke laughed and coughed hard so that Peyton had to sit her down in the snow again until it was over. „You´re ok?", Peyton asked worried and pushed her hair out of her face „Can we keep on walking?" Brooke nodded and began to cry :"I cannot...move...´s so cold", she whispered but was relieved that she was with Peyton who lifted her up again and carried her to the car. „Everything is going to be allright, B. Davis. Brooke?", Peyton realized that Brooke did not answer her and layed her down again. She then saw, that Brooke´s eyes were closed and she looked blue. „No, Brooke, open your eyes sweetie.", she shook her but nothing happened. Fortunately she could see her breathing. Not steady but still it was a breath. She lifted her up again and tried to run to the car.
