"Your baby is gonna make it! Congratulations!" he said smiling. Brooke rushed up and hugged him. She happily sighed as they pulled apart. Her baby was safe. Still overjoyed, she jumped up and down giddily.
"Am I free to go?" Brooke asked hopingly.
"Yes, you can," he said as he pulled out his beeper. I'm sorry, I have to go. Congratulations" he said as he walked out the door. Brooke squealed with joy! Wait, what's that? Brooke stopped jumping up and down with excitement.
"Peyton," she said softly. Brooke held her pink top and denim jeans. When she finished changing, she noticed a note on the floor. It must have fallen off when she picked up the clothes.
Hey B. Davis!
I brought you some of your clothes over. I thought you might need them. man, they must have drugged you hard! You were out cold. I knocked over your dinner tray and you didn't even move! Well, gotta get to school.
Hope your better and all is well.
--P. Sawyer
P.S. I taped the OC it's on your nightstand. Oh, and before I forget, I know how much you hate the hospital food, so I brought you brownies. The brownies are on the table.
Love ya
Brooke gave a small sad smile. She devoured the brownies. When Brooke finished she called Karen.
"Hello, Scott residence! This is Karen speaking" she was so formal.
"Hey, it's Brooke. Can I still get that lift?" Brooke asked.
"Of course, I am on my way!" Karen said
"Thanks," Brooke said as she hung up.
Peyton sat on a vacant bench twiddling her thumbs. Where was Brooke? The hospital said she left an hour ago. Did something happen?
"You okay?" Jake asked as he sat next to her.
"No, Brooke's not here and she won't talk to me! I'm an awful person! She loved Lucas, but we did what we did, anyways. Then she got in the accident and that's when I realized, Brooke was always there for me no matter what. When my mom died Lucas wasn't there, Brooke was. She was--is my rock I miss her," Peyton said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Hey," Jake said as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into him. He gently kissed her forehead. "First of all, you are an amazing and talented person. Don't ever doubt that! Second, you made a mistake. Sure Brooke is mad, but that anger won't stay in her forever. She will forgive you and when she does, you will be back to the way you were. You know, you guys and your cheesy jokes. The sleepovers that last forever. The fun that you two always have. You guys are best friends, forever. So as hard as it is now, just think, you two will be friends again," Jake said. Peyton nodded.
"Peyt" a soft voice said from behind. The two turned around to see a familiar face. "Can we talk?"
"Of course, B. Davis," Peyton said. Jake took the hint and left.
"Thanks for the clothes and brownies," Brooke said as she now stood face-to-face with Peyton.
"Your welcome! Listen-"
"Shhhhh...I heard,"
"You …you did?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah" Brooke said softly. "Peyton, Jake's right about everything. You are an amazing person., you just made a mistake. Yeah I was mad but can you blame me? I loved him and it hurt. But I miss you and I need you, now. I miss the sleepovers and the chaos we cause. When I was in the accident I just thought, what if something happens to you and we don't make amends? I would die inside. It made me realize, life is to short to live angry and bitter. So, can we get past this? I miss you, Peyt," Brooke said softly.
"Are you kidding? I miss you more" Peyton said as she hugged her.
"You wanna hang?" Brooke asked now smiling.
"Yeah!" Peyton said.
"OC?" Brooke asked.
"Hell yes!" Peyton exclaimed. The two walked away to Peyton's car. "You were right by the way."
"How?" Brooke asked.
"Ryan and Marissa did get together," Peyton said.
"YAY," Brooke cheered.
"Told me, huh?" Peyton asked.
"I told you so-" Brooke taunted.
"Sure did," Peyton said. She was just glad they were getting back to where they were.
Meanwhile…
"How's it coming?" Keith asked.
"Good, the new car door came," Lucas said as he grabbed a trash bag.
"Well keep up the good work," Keith said. Lucas nodded. Keith walked away to help a new customer.
"Might as well clean-up the trash," Lucas said. He tossed a coke into the bag. Lucas leaned over and grabbed a crumbled up paper bag. He peeked inside to make sure there was nothing valuable in it. Lucas' jaw hit the floor. "Oh my god," he said not able to keep his eyes of it!
AN: there's chapter three! Hope you liked it! Sorry, it was so short. Trust me. the next one will be longer!
