Chapter 2! The Shock Of A Lifetime!

Brooke woke up drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.

"Oh God." She whispered. Looking around Brooke noticed she wasn't in her room or wearing her own clothes. She looked around the room realising she didn't know where she was. Her favourite photo, the one of Peyton, Taylor, Haley and herself was sitting on the table beside her, her mobile phone was lying in front of it/ Brooke grabbed it. The first number she found was Peyton's. She rang it quickly after a few rings Peyton answered.

"Hello?" She said.

"Peyton?" Broke asked.

"Oh my God Brooke!" Peyton exclaimed.

"You wanna hear the weirdest thing?" Brooke asked. "I just had this dream where me, you and Haley were in a car crash after Tim's party and now I've woken up and I don't know where I am."

"Brookie that wasn't a dream. We were in a car crash 2 months ago… you've been in a coma since then." Peyton said truthfully.

"What? What happened to Haley?" Brooke asked.

"She should be in the same room as you. Pull open the curtain." Peyton suggested. Brooke got out of bed and did so, there was Haley lying motionless in the bed next top hers. Tears welled up in Brooke's eyes as she walked over.

"Oh Haley, I'm so sorry." Brooke said, brushing the stay hair away from her eyes and tucking it behind her ears.

"Brooke?" Peyton asked, still on the phone.

"P can you come down here?" Brooke asked.

"Sure I'm on my way." Peyton said. Brooke hanged up the phone, happy Peyton was coming.

"Brooke! Oh my God!" Peyton said as she came into the room Brooke stood up and both girls embraced each other in a warm hug.

"Why didn't you call Taylor Brookie?" Peyton asked.

"Taylor? Why would I call her? She's all the way in New York." Brooke said confused. Peyton shook her head.

"No she's not Brooke she came back as soon as she heard. I guess the only reason she's not here right now is because the nurses make her go home and sleep in her own bed at least once or twice a week."

"Taylor's home?" Brooke asked.

"Yeah." Peyton said. Brooke grabbed her phone and quickly dialed Taylor's mobile.

"Hello?" Taylor said sleepily.

"Tay-Tay?" Brooke said quietly.

"OH MY GOD! BROOKIE IT'S YOU!" Taylor practically screamed into the phone.

"Tay please come down here. I'm so scared. Peyton's here to but I need you." Brooke said.

"You know I'm already in the car still wearing my pyjamas don't you Brookie boo?" Taylor said. Brooke smiled and laughed slightly.

"Thanks Tay-tay." She said.

"Anytime baby girl." Taylor said. "I'll be there in five."

Taylor came running into the room wearing her tweety bird pyjamas. Brooke smiled when she saw her.

"You're wearing your pj's." Was all Brooke could say as she was enveloped into a hug from her older sister.

"Don't you ever do that to me again Brookie-boo." She said as they hugged.

"What about your one-and-only-chane-of-a-lifetime-ab-so-frickin-lutly-amazing-one-time-offer-total-and-complete-100-wonderful-the-only-job-for-you-drema-job?" Brooke asked.

"It wasn't as great as it was cracked up to be." Taylor said, she and Brooke laughed.

"Seriously but Brookie-boo. You and my little Haley-bub mean everything to me in this world and I would drop anything to come and be with you." Brooke nodded.

"Thanks Tay-Tay." She said. Peyton laughed from her position in the room. Both girls turned to her.

"What?" they asked in unison.

"Brookie-Boo? Hayley-Bub? Tay-Tay?" she repeated grinning. Taylor smiled.

"I've called Hayles and Brookie that since they were 1 or something." She explained. "Isn't that right Brookie-Boo?" calling her the nickname again just for the sake of it.

"Yeah. And me and Hales had to get back at our Tay-Tay here." Brooke said.

"And yes before you say anything Tay-Tay was the best they could come up with." Taylor said. Brooke pretended to be offended and playfully punched Taylor in the arm.

"Look at her Taylor." Brooke said seriously.

"I know Brooke. It hurts me too." Taylor said.

"It's my fault!" Brooke exclaimed.

"What Brooke no!" Peyton said.

"Brooke it was an accident." Taylor told her. Brooke shook her head.

"No. I was driving, I shouldn't have let it happen." She said.

"Brooke the other guy was drunk." Peyton said. "He crashed right into you, he ran a red light, it's not your fault, it's his."

"But she just wanted to leave. She didn't want me to talk to Nathan or Theresa. She just wanted to go. If I'd just let it go, if we'd gone when she wanted she be with us. We'd be ok. If I'd done what she asked the accident never would have happened." Brooke cried.

"Nathan Scott?" Taylor asked. "Why did you go and talk to him?"

"Because Haley caught him in bed with Theresa so I went and broke his nose and kicked Theresa off the squad." Brooke explain.

"That little bastard!" Taylor said. "Ohhh I can not believe he lied to me!"

"What do you mean?" Peyton asked.

"He comes here and visits Haley, he told me he was her boyfriend, he said they were happy. He never said he'd hurt my Haley." Taylor explained. There was silence for a second.

"You're telling me her hurt my Haley, cheated on her and LIED to me?" Taylor asked, her voice surprisingly even. Peyton nodded.

'Yep, that about sums it up." She said. Taylor shook her head.

"Ooohhh! I'm going to kick his ass the next time he comes here." She said.

"I'll do more than break his nose this time." Brooke said.

"Hey guys, as much as I'd love to have a Nathan bashing day, coz we all know it'd be fun. Do you really think it would be what Haley wants?" Peyton asked, being the voice of reason.

"You're right." Brooke nodded.

"I'm still kicking his ass." Taylor said.

"I think I'm just going to yell and scream at him." Brooke added nodding.

"Fine I'll glare and say something threatening." Peyton added smiling.

"That's my girl." Brooke said.

"Good girl Blondie." Taylor added.

"Blondie?" Peyton asked.

"It's only fair." Brooke said.

"It's my thing. You need a name too." Taylor pointed out.

"A thing that's been passed down to Brooke and Haley." Peyton said.

"Yeah well it's because they love me." Taylor joked.

"We do Taylor." Brooke said seriously Taylor smiled.

"I know." She said reaching out for Brooke. The sisters hugged.

"Hey guys I think I'll leave you guys alone." Peyton said yawning.

"No P. Sawyer you can't leave!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Yeah Blondie I think we're going to need you." Taylor added.

"C'mere." Brooke said opening the hug to let Peyton inside.

They three girls held onto each other tightly as they thought of Haley, lying unconscious in the bed a few feet away from them.
