Brooke was down in the cafeteria picking at her food. When Haley joined her and spoke, "Hey."

Brooke said, "Hi."

Haley asked, "How are you holding up?" Brooke went to open her mouth, "And I want the truth."

Brooke sighed, 'Well in that case… I don't know how I am doing; I just want him to wake up you

know," Haley nodded, "Something has to be wrong right? I mean otherwise he would have waked up."

Haley spoke softly, 'Honestly I don't know..." Haley glanced over at Brooke and noticed a tear slipping down her cheek; "Hey you're supposed to be the strong one."

Brooke looked at Haley and there were more tears forming in her eyes. Brooke replied, "I know...I just..there is so many unsaid things between us."

Haley stated, "And you're gonna get the chance to say those to him."

Brooke questioned, "What if he..."

Haley exclaimed, "I don't want to hear you talking like that. Don't you remember when we all first

got to the hospital and found out about Lucas & Nathan?"

Brooke glanced at Haley and thought back to that day...

Haley rushed into the lobby of the hospital and spotted Brooke and Peyton. Brooke said, "Haley,

what are you doing here?"

Haley answered, "Deb called me this morning and I hopped on the first flight I could get. How is Nathan?"

Peyton answered, "We don't know anything we just got here about 15 minutes ago…"

Deb came into the lobby room and Haley rushed to her and asked, "How's Nathan?"

Deb answered, "Nathan is stabled," Haley let out some air, "Nathan is out of surgery. Lucas however is still in surgery. "

Brooke's face went white and Peyton and Haley looked at one another. Brooke asked, "Lucas is hurt too?"

Deb questioned, "No one told you?"

Peyton spoke, "No all the news said that Nathan Scott was in a racing accident…"

Cooper walked up hearing Peyton and replied, "Lucas was in the car behind Nathan when the

accident occurred. "

Brooke puzzled, "But he's gonna okay right?"

Cooper responded, "We know anything until he is out of surgery…"

Haley asked, "Can I see Nate?"

Deb said, "1 will take you up. " Brooke followed them up and Haley walked in seeing her husband all connected up to tubes and IV's.

Deb excused herself as Haley sat on a chair besides Haley's bed and spoke, "Hey Nate, you can't die..." Haley felt her voice giving out.

Brooke stated, "Just stop that right now Hales. He is not gonna die, so don't even put those thoughts into your head or his."

Haley spoke, "Look at him… "

Brooke replied, "1 am and I see a Scott aka a fighter. He would not give up without a fight, so don't you start giving up on him. " Haley glanced at her "The Haley I know would never give up especially on a Scott."

Brooke smiled at Haley and said, "Guess I pretty much laid into you hard that day."

Haley responded, "Yeah you did and you're about to make me lay into you. Don't give up on Lucas he needs you."

Brooke asked, "What if I don't feel like being strong?"

Haley answered, "Then don't, but don't start bringing in all this negativity. Go talk to Lucas" Brooke cocked her head at Haley. "I'm serious just talk to him it might make you feel better. At least it did with me for Nathan."
