CHAPTER 19

Haley slowly pulled up to the old tree hill hospital which was now abandoned. She parked the car and looked over at Brooke. Brooke had her ' don't even try to talk me out of it because it's not going to work', look on. Haley let out a sigh and starred strait ahead towards the end of the road.

"Just be careful okay. I don't understand why your doing this but I know that it has to be a very good reason to put yourself in jeopardy." said Haley.

"Don't worry Hales i'll be carefull I promise." Brooke promised.

Soon they saw exactly what they were looking for. The 1970 run down Toyota finally began to come into view. Brooke felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She couldn't believe that after all this time she was still afraid of this guy. It wasn't a strong fear but it was still fear. She and Haley watched as the Toyota pulled over in front of them. The car engine began to die down and suddenly the door of the driver's seat opened and Brooke saw the gun. X slowly got out of his car and pointed the gun at Brooke.

"Let's go Brooke Davis I have things to do and people for you to see." ordered X.

Brooke looked over to Haley and pulled her into a quick hug before looking her dead in the eyes.

"Remember you promised." stated Brooke.

"I know Brooke." reassured Haley,

Brooke knew that Sam would be in great hands with Haley if anything happened to her. But Brooke felt horrible. Sam had lost so much in her life and when she had finally began to put the pieces back together again, she was possibly going to be losing something else. This wasn't fair at all on her part and she knew that. But Sam's life was more important than her own, she felt. And as long as X was out of jail and freely roaming the streets, Sam's life was in serious danger.

Brooke began to get out of Haley's car. She put her hands up so that X wouldn't think that she was trying anything funny, and get all trigger happy. She slowly and cautiously made her way over to X. She kept her eyes locked on him and monitored his every move. He was still starring and pointing the gun at Brooke.

When Brooke was half way to X they all heard a car swirve. It was the cops. They stopped in back of X. He figured he might as well go down swinging. He turned back to Brooke and shot twice. Brooke went down. One of the cops ran over and tackled X down, got the gun away from him, and cuffed him.

Sam was getting a little antsy. She was pacing back and forth in front of Peyton, who was sitting on the bench, just like Brooke had done when Sam had ran away after telling Brooke about the attack being her fault.

"Like mother like daughter." Peyton thought.

"Sam stop! You're making me more nauseous then I already am." Peyton said.

"Mom was supposed to be here forever ago. You don't think she went to meet X do you because she said she wouldn't. I hope she isn't." said rambled worriedly while she continued to pace.

"O....KA....Y" said Peyton grabbing Sam's arm to stop her from moving back and forth and back and forth.

Sam sat on the bench beside Peyton and waited for her to talk. Peyton just looked at Sam trying to see if she was paying attention and what was going through Sam's mind. She could see fear, anger, sadness, and guilt all over her face. Sam looked away realizing that Peyton could tell how she was feeling. She wasn't the best person when it came to the whole 'dealing with your emotions', thing.

Peyton held Sam's hand and used her free hand to put her hand on Sam's chin and made her face her. Sam was absolutely silent but she did look at Peyton.

"Well do you want to tell me what's going through that sarcasm filled mind of yours?" asked Peyton.

"No not really. But I have no choice do I?"

"Sam every one has a choice."

"Okay well I'm scared that Mom has gone to meet X and I'm never going to see her again. I'm angry at X for kidnapping you and I'm angry at Mom for making this stupid deal. I'm feeling guilty because I know I could've prevented all this if I had never said anything the day that I tried to shoplift from 'Clothes Over Bros'. And I'm sad that I never got to tell Brooke that she means the world to me and I want to change my name to Samantha Davis."

"Oh sweetie first off and most importantly this is absolutely not you're fault Sam. I want you stop saying that right this instant. There is nothing you could've done to prevent this from happening in the first place. Second Brooke's going to be okay. Don't be mad at her. She was trying to save us. And third is that your gong to be able to tell her those things. She's going to come."

Sam hugged Peyton.

"Thanks. I love you Aunt Peyton."

"Aunt Peyton..."

Peyton smiled widely. Sam had never called her this before. She had always loved Sam like a niece and would do anything for her. It made her so happy that Sam viewed her as a Aunt and this was the first time Sam had told her that she loved her.

"BROOKE!!!" yelled Haley as she got out of her car and ran to her fallen best friend.

Once she was at her side she began to shake her.

"C'mon Brooke wake up!!" Haley pleaded.

"Ugh....Oww!" said Brooke painfully.

"Oh thank god." said Haley finally releasing the breath that she had been holding.

Haley helped Brooke to her feet. She opened her jacket and looked at the bullet proof vest that she was wearing. One bullet was lodges by her stomach and the other her heart. Without this vest she would've died.

flashback...

"Haley I have to go see X" Brooke said after hanging up the phone with Sam.

"Are you crazy...There's no way in hell I'm letting you do this." informed Haley.

Brooke waved her arm outside the car window signalling the police officers that she needed something.

"UGH!!! Brooke Davis you are so stubborn."

Brooke was quiet she looked into the side mirror and watched the cops come around to her side of the car. She opened the door and stepped out into the daylight.

"What is it miss Davis." said one of the officers.

"I know where my daughter and my best friend are. But that isn't all. I also know where X is and I have a plan to get him in custody."

"Okay..." said the second officer.

"Just give me a bullet vest and use me as bait."

Haley knew that Brooke had absolutely lost it now.

End Flashback...

.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Brooke watched the officers put V in the back seat of the police car. She looked at Haley.

"It's over." said Haley smiled.

"Let's go get Sam and Peyton." said Brooke hoping that Haley was right.
