A/N: This story has been in my head since I saw the season finale of One Tree Hill. Basically everything has happened on the show but there is a big twist coming.
The assistant beeping sounds breaks through the cloud fog in his head and awakes him from his slumber. He blinks his eyes to readjust to the light that is coming from the room. He looks around the room trying to find where he is. As his eyes dart around the room he notices a sleeping form in the corner of the room. He tries to call out the person but is throat is dry and not much comes out.
He tries again to alert the sleeping person, "Hello" he says as he speaks with his raspy voice. The person sleeping in the chair stirs and turns in the chair showing their face for the first time. He notices that it's Haley sitting in the chair and decides to call her name to get her to wake up.
"Haley," he lets out in his raspy voice. Haley's eyes pop open and dart around the room trying to determine where the voice came from. Her eyes settle on the hospital bed where her friend has been laying. Upon seeing Lucas with is eyes opened she darts toward the bed to hug him.
"Haley, water," Lucas manages to get out as his friend continues to hug him. Haley breaks out of the hug and goes to get him some water. Lucas drinks the water slowly and clears his throat to talk to Haley.
"How long have I been out for?",he questions his best friend.
Haley looks at Lucas trying to figure out how to approach the situation. "Lucas what is the last thing you remember?"
"I remember getting married to Peyton and having a daughter named Sawyer you and Nathan had another baby and Brooke was married to Julian and they had twin boys. You and Brooke had decided to reopen Karen's Cafe. I was going to come home for a visit with Sawyer and tell you guys that I was moving back home because Peyton and I were having problems and we decided to get a divorce. Haley why are you looking at me so strange as if I'm not making any since," he said as he stared into his best friend's eyes.
"Lucas you and Peyton were never married and you don't have any kids. As far as I know Brooke isn't married and doesn't have any children and I have never heard of her dating any guy named Julian and Nathan and I only have one child." Haley stop and looked at Lucas who had a look of pure confusion on his face. "Lucas are you okay?"
"I honestly don't know. Everything seemed so real to me, like it was really happening and now you tell that it was all a dream that I have made up in my mind." he said clearly aggravated about what was going on. "What happened to me Hales?"
"Lucas do you remember the school shooting?", she watched as he nodded his head and she continued on. "You had found Peyton and were on your way out of the school when you ran into Jimmy. You tried to reason with him to let you get Peyton some help but he wouldn't let you. You tried to talk him into putting the gun down but Jimmy was to far gone and you couldn't save him." Haley paused to compose herself. "He shot himself Luke and the stress of watching Jimmy kill himself gave you a heart attack," she said with tears in her eyes.
Lucas shook himself clear of all the thoughts that was flowing through his head and said, "Haley how long have I been out for?"
"Lucas you have been in a coma for two years," she said. Lucas stared her in a state of shock about all she has told him.
Please review: Let me know if I should continue.
