I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE READERS AND REVIEWERS WHO ARE BEARING WITH ME THOUGH….

SO HERE'S CHAPTER 13…

Chapter 13

Brooke saw Sam lying on the hospital bed and she couldn't take it. The tears that she had been trying to hold back for Sam's sake now rolled down her cheeks. Sam looked so helpless. Brooke slowly walked over. She ran her hands over the bed until it met Sam's and she took a seat. She used her free hand and touched Sam's cheek.

"Sam, it's me….mom." she said between sobs.

She laid her head on Sam's hand and watched her sleeping. She closed her eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening. Not to Sam. She was so used to seeing Sam making sarcastic remarks, breaking rules, and having fun. She'd never seen Sam so vulnerable and hurt, it scared her.

"M….mo…mom" said a voice that made Brooke open her eyes immediately.

Sam was beginning to wake up. Brooke kissed her forehead.

"Thank god your okay." said Brooke, "I was so worried."

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I should've listened to you but I was stupid." said Sam beginning to cry.

"Sam don't." said Brooke, "Right now you just need to rest now. Everyone's here and they said that they love you very much."

"Can you stay with me please?" asked Sam.

Sam didn't want Brooke to leave her. Everything was better when Brooke was around. She was in so much pain but she didn't want to worry her so she didn't say anything.

"Of course." answered Brooke.

Sam moved over with some difficulty and Brooke laid beside her. She laid her head on Brooke's chest, who wrapped her arm around her.

"I love you to." said Sam.

Brooke was a little confused by the "to" Sam had added.

"I heard you talking to me in the ambulance." said Sam.

Brooke remembered. Sam was going in and out of consciousness. She had gone into cardiac arrest the paramedics were loosing her fast. That's when Brooke realized she had to do something. She had quickly grabbed Sam's hand and held it tight. Then she did the only thing she could, pleaded on her knees.

"Sam come back to me!! Please I need you, I love you, and you cannot do this to me."

Brooke had watched as the line on the heart rate monitor spiked and Sam came back. It was the scariest thing she had ever had to go through.

"Sleep." was all that Brooke could say.

Sam did as Brooke told her. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Brooke felt Sam's even breathing as she slept. It replaying in her mind, she had heard the gunshot clear as day and she was one hundred percent sure that Julian had heard it as well. So where the hell was the bullet? Her heart was aching. This was becoming too much for her and she was about to explode. She felt sorry for whoever it was that was in her path when it happened. She knew that if the cops hadn't taken her gun she'd be tracking down the son of a bitch that did this to Sam. He'd be dead now and he wouldn't be able to ruin anyone else's life, especially hers.

Everyone waited around patiently for Brooke to return.

"She's probably sleeping." said Peyton smiling.

"Poor Sam." said Haylee, "I hope she'll be okay."

"Please, Sam's always okay" said Nathan, "She's exactly like Brooke: tough, smartass, big hearted, and she's a fighter."

"She's already a Davis." said Lucas.

"Ooo two Davis'…that's not going to be easy to deal with." joked Peyton.

"I hear yah." said Julian walking into the waiting room with Jamie who was eating a cookie that was bigger than his head.

Everyone laughed at the sight. Jamie walked over to Haylee and swallowed.

"Mama can I see Sam?" asked Jamie.

There was no doubt that Jamie loved Sam very much. He viewed her as a big sister and it was obvious to everyone that he was worried about her. Haylee looked into Jamie's eyes.

"Not right now buddy." said Haylee.

"Why mama, what's wrong with her?" asked Jamie.

"She's….uh…"

Haylee didn't really know what to say. What do you say to a five year old when telling them that someone they really care about has been hurt? It wasn't easy. It was either you tell the truth or you lie….

"A very mean man hurt her Jamie." said Nathan putting one hand on his son's shoulder.

"Why?" asked Jamie sadly.

"Because Sammy was trying to help aunt Brooke." said Haylee.

"Will she be okay?" asked Jamie.

"Were not sure yet." replied Nathan.

"She will." said Jamie, "Sam is strong like Aunt Brooke."

"That's right little man." said Julian as he ruffled Jamie's hair, "Hey I'm going to go check on Jack."

"Okay." said Lucas.

Julian walked over to Jack's room. He was still in a coma. But he was hanging on which was good. It meant he had a chance to wake up, eventually. He sat by Jack's bed.

"Hey Jack I know it's hard but you got to wake up pal. Sam really needs you right now. Your brother got to her. She's hurt bad." said Julian.

But Jack didn't wake up…
