When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

"Well well well, will you look who we have here?" Nick smirked as he finally reached Brooke, snatching her by the arm and bringing him close to him. He immediately threw her phone down on the ground, keeping his eyes on her the entire time. "I missed you in detention yesterday Brookie…It seems you stayed all night with Scott…"
Brooke struggled against Nick's grasp, pushing against his chest with her small hands. Listening to him she realized he followed her and must have been waiting. "Just let me go you…you…physco!" She yelled, his grip instantly getting tighter.
Brooke's hand went to his face, trying to push it away by digging her nails into him. "You bitch!!" He yelled before punching her straight across the face, Brooke falling to the ground straight afterwards. She let out a small whimper of pain before realizing he wasn't holding onto her anymore.
Brooke hurriedly began crawling away, trying her hardest to get up and run.
Nick, who instantly caught onto this grabbed her by the ankle, pulling her against the concrete back to him. Once she was there, Nick quickly sat on top of her, keeping one hand over her mouth, which had blood coming out from his punch, while the other grabbed both of her wrists.
"Now listen here whore, we're going to go back to my house…and you can be taught about missing detention. Okay?" Nick asked softly, moving his head down to Brooke's neck, latching his lips onto it and sucking it roughly.
Brooke by now had tears rushing out of her eyes while she kicked her legs all around, trying desperately to get out from under him. The houses around here were all new, which meant no one would be in them yet.
"Hey!" The two both heard, Nick instantly bringing his head, yet keeping his hands over Brooke's mouth and wrists.
"What the hell are you doing?" The figure asked as he began quickly running over to them. Nick instantly stood up, releasing Brooke and ran to his car. The second he was in he was peeling out, not looking back once.
Brooke whimpered as she stood up quickly, seeing no other then Dan Scott.
"Are you o—Brooke.." Dan said, instantly recognizing the face of the girl who had been on the ground. "God…" He whispered as he moved closer, getting a good look at the busted lip she had. "Come on, my house is just around here…"
Brooke gulped, still standing in her spot. She didn't want Dan, she wanted Lucas. She had already told one too many people about Nick, she didn't need any more finding out.
Finally after a few more minutes of Dan convincing her that she couldn't be out here by herself, the two walked in silence back to his house.
After leading Brooke to the living room and handing her over a warm wash cloth to keep on her lip, Dan kept his promise he had made earlier to her and pulled out his phone to call Lucas.
All he had to say was that Brooke was at his house, and both Rachel and Lucas were already in Dan's door. Lucas rushed to Brooke's side, wrapping his arms around her tightly to give her comfort.
Rachel stood back a bit, still trying to grasp the situation fully.
Just then, Dan appeared from the next room, letting out a sigh of relief as he saw the two other kids had arrived. He didn't know Brooke too well, mainly just her father and that she had been dating his son.
"What the hell happened?" Rachel asked, causing Lucas to turn around as well while he continued stroking Brooke's hair.
"I wish I had an answer for the two of you, but I believe they all lie with Brooke. I was just out for a walk…" And Dan wasn't lieing. Sure it was 4 in the morning, but he hadn't been sleeping well at all since he'd shot his only brother.
"Brooke baby…" Lucas whispered, pulling back as he still kneeled down in front of her. He cupped her cheeks with his hands as he stared into his eyes. It was then that his eyes locked on her lip, which was busted open. His eyes also darted down to the hickey on her neck; which he knew hadn't been there earlier.
"Fuck no." Lucas said angrily as he stood up, clenching his fists. He knew exactly who did this to her, the look in her eyes told him all he needed to know. Lucas darted towards the door before feeling a small hand on his arm pulling him back.
"Lucas please, don't…" Brooke said softly, tears about to pour down.
"Brooke, he can't get away with this! I won't fucking let him get away with it! Look at you!"
"Please..not tonight. Just…stay with me…" She pleaded, a tear now running down her porcelain face. Lucas then realized just how scared she really was. No matter what kind of brave act she put on, his pretty girl really was scared. She had been scared and attacked by a man half her size.
There surely was going to be hell to pay. But tonight? Lucas was going to be the guy he should have started being long ago. He was going be the protection to Brooke, he was going to make her feel loved, just like she should be.
Tomorrow, or actually in a few hours at school would be a different story.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Well, here's the new chapter! A bit rough, but I didn't want to hold back. Originally I wasn't going to have Brooke stop Lucas, or at least not succeed in stopping him. But after thinking about it, I figured she would need his comforting.
Thank you all so much for you kind support about my friend. Things have been looking up lately for his family, he had a wife and two kids, 2 and 5. So it really means a lot to here everyone's support.
Also, testing is over with which means more time to updateeeee! Woo!:D
