***Please be nice-it's my first story. I write based on things happening in my life and then focus in on my favorite characters.***

Set in Season 6- with Luke and Peyton still in the picture, getting ready to have Sawyer. Julian is already Brooke's boyfriend, and Sam is living with her birth mom but comes back for weekend trips.

Brooke sat anxiously in the waiting room, fiddling with her phone. They had run tests the week before, and today- the results.

"Ms. Davis?" the nurse said. "RIght this way. The doctor will be right in."

"So how was your day?"- Haley

Brooke was silent, staring out the window at the pool where Jamie was swimming. She was dangling the tea bag over her mug.

"Hello? Brooke? Earth to Brooke."

"Sorry Hales, I guess I'm distracted.

"Everything okay? You're awfully quiet."

"Um, yea. Is Nathan around?"

"I think he's with Lucas at the courts- the team has practice in a couple of hours."

"I um, I wanted to talk with you guys, but it can wait."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine. Let's get to work on this wedding slash baby shower hm?" she said with a forced smile.

Peyton sat on the bed, looking at the ceiling fan. She turned when she heard the door to Lucas' room open.

"Hey B. Davis! Did you know our fan rotates 115 times in a minute?"

"Wow, you're really enjoying bed rest."

"Ha. Ha. Very funny. So, what's up? Please tell me you came to give me news, I'm so bored!"

"Just came by to check on my best friend." Brooke said with as much cheer as she could muster.

"Well I'm fine and sick of talking about me. So let's talk about you. How's life? How's Julian?"

"Julian's busy with a new movie in L.A. I haven't heard from him in a few days."

"You okay about that? I'm sure you'll come back. He is hooked on you!"

"Ha, yea, maybe..." Brooke lowered her head, biting her lip.

"Hey," Peyton said, as she moved closer to her best friend, "What's going on?"

"Nothing. I'm fine." she said attempting to smile.

After a few moments of Peyton giving Brooke the eyes, she caved. "I, um, went to to doctor's last week for a physical."

"Okay. My whole life seems to be doctor's appointments these days."

"I guess mine too..."

"What do you mean?" (pause) "Brooke, you're scaring me."

"Don't freak out. But, I um, I passed out last week in the shower. My vision was blurry and I just got dizzy. I passed out, and sunk to the bottom of the shower. I must have hit my head,- I don't remember much about that night." She looked up to see a worried Peyton holding her hand. "The doctors ran some test and the results came in today."

"Well, ...what did they find out?"

"It's all going to be okay. It's going to be fine, P. Sawyer. I just need a few treatments to get rid of it."

"Rid of what Brooke?", becoming more upset.

Brooke cleared her throat, but her voice still came out as a whisper. "To get rid of the cancer."

Peyton's mouth fell open. Her eyes glazed over with tears. Her life had been filled with loved ones suffering from illnesses, and now, as she lay her pregnant and on bed rest, her best friend is telling her the same frightening news.

"I'm going to be fine Peyton I promise. Really. See, this is why I didn't want to tell you because I knew you would freak out."

"...no I'm not freaking out, I, uh, I shouldn't be surprised right? I mean everyone I love gets hurt."

"Stop Peyton. I'm going to be fine."

"How bad?"

"What?"

"How bad? What stage? Where is it?"-Peyton's mind was racing.

"...two...kidneys."
