Brooke stopped for a second before grabbing her coat and walking out the front door. She didn't know why she was here in the first place. It's not like anyone wanted her back.
Brooke walked quickly down the driveway, it was pouring rain. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew it wasn't far, since her daughter was still inside.
"Brooke!" Lucas yelled from the driveway as Brooke started down the street "Brooke! C'mon Brooke, hang on a sec!"
Brooke ignored Lucas and kept walking, until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and faced a panting Lucas "What?"
"What are you doing?" Lucas asked, breathing heavily, his hair matted to his head.
"I don't know Luke. But I do know that this was a bad idea. I'm getting a flight back tonight. I'm not staying here." Brooke said sternly, turning on her heel "Watch Bridget, I'll be back later."
Lucas sighed "Where are you going?"
"I don't know." She said, walking off.
Lucas knew better than to follow her when she didn't want him to, so he turned back and headed to the house.
A few minutes later, Brooke was at the reception desk at the hospital "Hi, I'm looking for Nathan Scott's room."
The nurse looked at the files "Room 323."
"Thanks." Brooke walked slowly to his room and walked in when she found it. She looked at Nathan, he looked much older, I guess that's what ten years and a coma does to you. But then again, he also looked like the same old Nathan she used to know. The one who turned from the typical cocky high school jock to falling head over heels for Haley James, a.k.a. 'tutorgirl'. The one who got married to her in high school and had two beautiful little boys. The one who fulfilled his dream of becoming a basketball player, before having it crushed but one stupid mistake. The one who has a wife and a son that love him at home, just waiting for him to wake up.
"Hey Nate." Brooke sat down in the chair beside the bed "It's me, Brooke. I'm so sorry it's been so long. I missed you guys so much Nate. You know, Haley's a mess without you, she loves you so much Nathan, she always has and I know you know that, but she needs you now. Why don't you wake up for her Nate? And for your boys?" Brooke sighed and took his hand "Do you remember when we were little and you had a huge 10th birthday party, and after basically everyone left, I was still there because my mom forgot about me. And a few hours after everyone was gone, you went to find your dog and he died? And a while later, you told me that everyone will leave when they're ready. And if they're not ready, they'll stay? I know that you're not ready to leave Nate. You just have to believe that and wake up. Your family needs you Nathan, your boys and Haley need you. Please." Brooke rested her head on the side of the bed.
Brooke lifted her head when she felt a hand on it. She looked up and saw Nathan smile at her.
"Nathan!" she squealed, jumping up and calling for a nurse "I have to call Haley! I'm so glad your awake!" Brooke took out her phone and dialed Haley's number.
"Brooke, are you planning on coming back to get your daughter?" Haley asked in a very uptight voice.
"I know you hate me Tutorgirl, but Nathan is awake." Brooke said with a smile.
Brooke waited for a response before realizing that Haley hung up the phone. Brooke figured she's be here soon, and didn't want Haley to be upset, so she decided to leave.
"Nathan, Haley's on her way over. I'm gonna head out, okay?" Brooke told him, taking his hand.
"Thank you." Nathan said quietly, his voice scratchy "And Brooke? Haley will come around. She missed you so much."
Brooke nodded and kissed Nathan on the forehead, squeezing his hand "I'm so glad you're awake Nate. Tell Haley goodbye for me. And that I love her."
