A/N: Haven't updated this in quite a while but luckily I am now. I just re-read what I already had written and I realized the first draft of this chapter was crap. So I started again. Here it is…have fun…tho I doubt you can really do that yet in this story.
(Yet being the operative word)
This will get happier after a while and Haley may not be in a coma for long…OR she may be in it for the rest of her life. I don't even know yet.
I reached down and touched Haley's soft skin, so delicate and so silky, almost like porcelain. I let my hand slid down Haley's face and touch her arm. I couldn't believe this was Haley James. Haley James who always seemed so happy. Who reads every night and explains the history homework to everyone who needs help. The tutor, the girl, my love. How could she be so sad that she wanted to end her own life? She took those pills and then cut her wrists. She made her heart work so hard that it couldn't take it. She's gone. At least a part of her is gone. Physically she's still here but a part of her is gone. She's in a coma. The doctor had said there was a chance she'd wake up within the next six months. I new that was partly a lie. Some people never woke up from this kind of thing. Three weeks had passed and there was still no progress. Haley was still partly dead, she still hadn't woken, and she was still in a coma. I heard the door creak open slightly. The room was so dark the small slit of light from the hallway had created an eerie glow in the room. "Hi." It was a familiar voice but I couldn't quite grasp who it was. I knew it was a voice I hadn't heard in a long while. I didn't answer. Whoever it was sat down in a chair just behind mine. "I thought I should come." There it was again. The voice. It was masculine, definitely a man, but it had an angelic feminine tone to it that made just a little bit harder not to listen. I turned around. "Hello Lukas." My voice was bitter and raspy. I hadn't used it for a long time. Only when the doctors came to check on us did I speak. "Is she okay?"
"What do you care?" I knew it was harsh but he had NO right to come in here and say anything to me or in Haley's presence. "Brooke you have to understand," Lukas started but I cut him off. "You were supposed to be her best friend, love her for always, remember? You're supposed to be there no matter what happens. Love is supposed to exceed everything." I stopped; tears welled in my eyes, threatening to spill with each passing second. "What happened to that?" I hissed as I moved my hand back to her body, I laced our hands together. "She kissed you." Lukas hissed as if it was supposed to explain everything.
"I kissed her back!" I hoped it would come out strong but it failed me once again and cracked in the middle of my sentence. He looked shocked. I wanted him to cry. I know that makes me a bad person but I wanted it. I wanted him to realize that all the times I've told him I loved him I was thinking of her. That every time he touched me I wished it was her hands caressing me. In that moment I think he did and an odd feeling of satisfaction overcame my body. "What do you mean? Are you gay now to?" Lukas asked, his voice filled with anger. He stood quickly and I winced as he knocked a plastic chair away from his path to Haley. "No." I replied simply. He stared at me, confusion laced his features "I'm in love." I said gently. He smiled at me. "I love you to Brooke." I shook my head.
"I'm in love Lukas, but not with you, I'm in love with Haley." I tried to keep the happiness from saying this out of my voice but I couldn't any longer. "You bitch!" He screamed. I could her footsteps in the distance. They were angry. "Get out." I said steadily. "Get out right now, They're coming and you're going." I hissed.
"You dyke." He said. A new emotion I've never seen on him threatened to unleash itself on me. "You're going to hell with her!" He screamed. The door knob turned but he jumped for it. He locked it quickly. I've never seen him move so fast. I remained calmly in my seat. "If I get to be with her…Gladly." I smiled. I knew this bothered him. Lukas jumped for Haley and I screamed as I stood. I ran to the door and unlocked it. There was no one there. "HELP!" I screamed loudly from the room. A security guard walking down the hall with a coffee in his hand ran to my room. He instantly dropped the coffee as he saw what was inside. "GET OFF OF HER!" The officer yelled.
Lukas was choking her. He was pushing her hard into the pillows. I was sure he was breaking her shoulder. The guard grabbed Lukas quickly and ripped him away from the room. A doctor waited outside, swiftly moving passed me as he checked on Haley. "She'll be fine." The doctor said aloud. I heard a sigh of relief moments later did I realize it was mine. Lukas was hauled passed me "Whore." He said as he spit on me. I wiped it away quickly, unfazed at what he had said. I nearly sprinted back to Haley's side. "Are you okay?" I whispered quietly. "She can't hear you." The doctor reminded me. "Yes she can." I said "She's just tired and worn out. She's going to be alright." I hissed and glared at the doctor. He shut up immediately and walked out of the room.
I sat back down in my spot and laced my fingers with Haley's again. There's no way I was going to let her NOT survive. There was so much I had to tell her. "I love you." I said again. This time I heard a whimper. A small whimper and I don't know if I imagined it or not but her hand tightened around mine. "Haley?" A shot of excitement moved through me. "Broo-." I heard nothing else. I yelled to the doctor and the doctor ran in. "What is it."
"She's awake!" I screamed with joy. He checked her pulse and did odd things with her arms and neck. "I'm sorry ma'am but she's not awake." He said. Immediately I felt sad again. "Of course she's awake, I just saw her." He shook his head. I sighed.
I need her, without her I have nothing. I knew in that moment this was going to be a long period of my life. And if she wasn't a part of the rest of my life that maybe 'd be the one needing to escape.
This is probably the most dialogue you'll get for the rest of the story…Sorry. There will be dialogue but this is the most you'll get in one chapter. Sorry ( anyway hope you liked it and just so everyone knows I was gonna let this be a oneshot (the last chapter I mean but rain1657reviewed and then I immediately wrote this chapter, look for the next one in a few days or so.
