„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.

A few minutes later a car was in sight and three people looking worried at them. Lucas heart made a big jump when he saw the brunette one. Immediately he ran to Peyton and saw a very pale

looking Brooke on her shoulders with her eyes closed. „I couldn´t wake her up again", Peyton cried when Lucas took the unconscious Brooke into his arms. „God, what happened", Haley asked and

took Brooke´s hand. „She...she fell into a river and...and was under the ice", Peyton answered. „Brooke, wake up.", Lucas lay her down in the car and was relieved when he heart her heartbeat. The

others went into the car as well and looked at Brooke. She still wore his cap but looked so small with her wet and frozen clothes and hair. „Get her out of her clothes.", Haley said nervously. „What?",

Lucas asked stunned. „She has to warm up and her clothes won´t do that in that state." „Okay." Without thinking Lucas took off her leggins and socks. Wouldn´t it have been such a dramatic

situation he would have realized that Brooke wore his favourite underpant. He could see frost marks on her legs and hoped that she would be okay. Unfortunatley noones mobile worked and they

decided to drive to an hospital. Then he took off her jacket and in the end her dress. Lucas then touched her cheek and looked into her now opened eyes. „Hey there pretty girl", he smiled.

„L...l...ucas.", she whispered. „We are going to get help.", he said . „L...ucas", Brooke whispered again but could not say more and closed her eyes. She was laying half naked at the back of the car

and broke Lucas heart. „No" he said „don´t close your eyes.". Peyton then said: „Her underwear as well." She realized what she said while saying it and gave Lucas a towel. Lucas realized that his

clothes were cold as well from outside and took his shirt and jeans off to warm Brooke with his body. He took her into his arms and could feal her cold body touching his. Peyton was sitting with them

at the back and took Brooke´s feet under her shirt to warm them as well. The heater in the car was working a bit as well and with that Nathan drove as fast as possible. „ up", Lucas had only eyes for

Brooke and touched softly her skin with his hands. He could see how Brooke had to fight. He then took her face very near to his chest and whispered in her ears. „We need you Brooke. I need you.

Please fight.", with that he summed a song he had once sung to her when she was sick.

Brooke moaned and oped her eyes a bit. Now she realized that she was in the car and the car was driving and that she was shivering and sitting naked on Lucas. Everything seemed to be a blurr.

„Hey there",Lucas smiled at her and could see that she was not quite there. Brooke tried to get up but was too weak. „We are almost there", Peyton said and took Brooke´s hand. „I am na...ked.",

Brooke asked stunned but then was too tired and closed her eyes. „Don´t Brooke. Try staying awake.", Peyton and Lucas said and took Brooke´s face with their hands and looked at her. „I...am so

tired.", Brooke answered. „We know honey, but try to fight it, ok!". Brooke nodded weakly and everybody could see how much energy she needed to stay focused „Listen to that Brooke." Lucas pulled

her head to his chest and she could hear his heart beating. It was the sweetest sound she had ever heard. With that she lost the fight and closed her eyes.

„She will so scream at us tomorrow about being naked in the backseat", Nathan said tyring to think positive.
