Episode 2 Ch. 1 Free Me From This Pain I Feel
It had been a week since the accidents. Brooke had gotten out of the hospital a few days after, but Breanne and Lily were told they had to stay longer.
Lily, Lucas, and her Doctor are in her hospital room. "Well Lily it looks like you can go home today."
Lily smiled. That was the best news she had heard in a while, but Lucas wasn't so sure if she was ready. "Are you sure doctor?"
"Yeah, she seems to be doing fine. Her leg is going to be in that cast for a while, and she is going to have to do physical therapy on her arm in a few weeks. Also I want you to come see me in two weeks, and until then I suggest no school and mostly bed rest." The doctor told them. Lily wasn't too happy with the bed rest part. That was going to be as hard as hell.
"When do you think she will get her real memory back?"
"To be honest with you Lucas there is a chance that she won't regain full memory ever again."
"But," Lucas was hoping for a but.
"But she could. It will all be a matter of time. I want you to go home and rest. You aren't going to be running any marathons anytime soon."
"That means cheerleading is out of the question." Lucas told her.
Lily looked at him with a confused expression. "I'm a cheerleader?"
"Yeah."
"Oh," Lily never thought she would be a cheerleader. It had never been her thing.
"I'll get your discharge papers and then you can go shortly." The doctor left the room.
"I bet you're happy," Lucas smiled at her.
"Yeah I am. I hate hospitals."
"Me too."
……………………………………
Peyton is sitting on her bed thinking about the night before.
Peyton was downstairs putting the dishes away. The house had been quiet the past few days, and everything had gone by so slowly. Lucas hadn't been home but maybe a few hours in the last five days. He wasn't answer her calls, and he was barely talking to her.
She was trying to be okay with it, but her hormones were making things worse. She sat down and dialed Lucas' number, but he didn't answer. She expected as much.
Instead of leaving a voicemail she decided to take care of the problem in person. "Hey Elizabeth," she yelled to the girl that was upstairs.
Elizabeth came to the top of the stairs. "Yeah mom."
"Could you watch the kids? I need to go somewhere."
"Sure no problem. Are you okay mom?" She could sense that something was wrong.
"I'm fine. I just have a few things I need to take care of."
Peyton made her way to the hospital, and she found Lucas asleep in the waiting room. She sat down beside him. She really needed to talk to him. She grabbed a magazine from the coffee table and hit him in the head with it.
"Dammit," he screamed.
"Wake up," she wasn't smiling.
"What the hell was that for?" He was obviously upset.
"I wanted you to wake up, and I didn't want to be nice about it."
"What is your problem?"
"You are my problem Lucas. You." She yelled at him. "I'm trying to do the best I can, but it is not working. Keith needs both of us right now."
"Keith doesn't need me Peyt. He has you."
"He should have both of us. You are being a royal jackass, and I'm sick of it."
"I think your hormones are kicking in."
He shouldn't have said that, "Well if you wouldn't have gotten me pregnant I wouldn't be having these hormones. I was hoping to come down here and have a rational discussion with you, but I can see that isn't possible."
"Peyton," he was confused.
"Why won't you come home?"
"Because Lily needs me," that wasn't the complete and total truth, but it was what he kept telling himself.
"We need you. She's going to be fine, but Keith might not be fine." She screamed at him.
"Peyton calm down. Everyone is looking at us."
"Good for them. Maybe they should know that my husband is a coward and stubborn as hell."
"Why don't you go home and come back when you have calmed down."
She looked at him with hurt in her eyes, "Why don't you stay here until you are ready to be a better father and husband." She stomped out of the hospital. Peyton was more furious than she was when she walked into the hospital.
………………………………………………
"Mom, mom, mom…" Keith tried to get her attention.
Peyton finally heard him, "Oh hey honey."
"It's time to go mom."
"Right…." She looked at her son. He was dressed in his best suit. She never imagined he would be getting ready to go to his on hearing. It saddened her.
"Dad's not coming is he?" Keith knew that he didn't even have to ask.
"No," she shook her head, "Probably not."

Brooke is laying in her bed. Nathan had made sure that she rested after she got out of the hospital. He didn't want her to get hurt again. He kissed her forehead when he walked into the room. "God my wife is beautiful," he smiled as he sat on the bed next to her. "I brought you some water."
"Thanks Mr. Scott, but I think that it is time that I take care of myself."
"No ma'am I'm here to take care of you for the rest of your life. Can you handle that?"
She smiled. She was happier than she had ever been when she was with him. "I think I can definitely handle that. Can you believe how lucky we got?"
"I thank God everyday that your fall down those stairs ended different than Haley's." Nathan had been scared to death when he saw Brooke lying at the bottom of the stairs.
"I got lucky that you got to me as soon as you did. I can't believe Emily lost her mind like that."
"I know. I'm sorry that my past almost cost you your life."
"No sir, you do not get to blame yourself. This is most definitely not your fault. You could not have known that Emily was gonna go psycho. You know I was thinking about it Peyton and I are really good at attracting psychos in our lives." Brooke smiled as she thought about everything she and Peyton had been through.
"But you two are the strongest people that I know, and I am so lucky to have you in my life."
"I'm the lucky one." She smiled and he leaned in and kissed her.
"Thank you so much for saving me."
"Thank you so much for not leaving me. I don't know what I would do without you." He kissed her again.

Chase is lying on his bed when Jamie comes in. He grabs his duffel bag and starts packing. "What the hell are you doing man?" Chase asked.
"I'm packing," Jamie continued packing.
"Why? You having a sleepover," he laughed.
"No um you can't tell anyone, but I'm going on tour with Becky."
"Jamie you can't," he sat up from his bed.
"I have too. I'm afraid I'm going to lose her if I don't go with her."
"You aren't going to lose her man. If she loves you before she goes on tour she will love you after."
"I can't chance that," Jamie shook his head.
"But you can chance your dad killing you. Yeah that makes a lot of sense."
"My dad will get over it, but I can't lose Becky. That's not a chance I'm willing to take."
Chase stood up from his bed, "Sounds to me like you aren't so sure about how secure your relationship with Becky is." He walked out of the bedroom leaving Jamie to think.

Jenny is in Rob's room getting dressed. "Hey baby, you ready to go see your dad?" Rob walked into the room.
"Yeah almost. I am so worried about him Rob."
"I know, but your dad is a tough guy. I don't think you have to be worried about him."
"He's been through a lot in his life. I don't think he can take much more."
Rob walked closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waste. "I love you when you are so concerned. It is very sexy."
She turned around and kissed him, "Keep it in your pants boyfriend. We don't even have time for a quickie. We're going to see my dad."
They both laughed.

Breanne is sitting in her hospital room. She was starting to get restless, but soon she would be able to go home.
Jacey walked in the room with somewhat of a frown on her face. "What's wrong?"
Jacey really didn't want to tell her, "The doctor just told me that Carter can go home today."
"What?"
"His test checked out Brea. I can take him home, but you aren't ready to go home yet. They still want to keep you a few more days for observations."
Breanne was devastated, "My baby is going home without me." She felt a tear falling down her face.

Lily is in her hospital room looking at the crutches she will have to use when Spencer walks in carrying flowers. "Hey," he sat the flowers down and kissed her forehead. "I would have been here earlier, but I wanted to get you some flowers."
"Thanks," it all really made her uncomfortable.
"I know that daisy's are your favorite."
Lily just nodded, but she didn't agree with him. Her favorite flowers were sunflowers.
"Are you ready to go home?"
"Yeah, anything will be better than this place."
"Where's Lucas?"
"He's filling out the rest of my paperwork."
"Oh," he smiled when he looked in her eyes. "I can't wait until I can take you on a date again."
"It might be a while. I have to rest a lot."
He kissed her forehead again, "It doesn't matter. I can wait forever for you Lily Scott."
He didn't realize how uncomfortable he was making her.
She had decided to give him a chance, but it wasn't working.
Jenny was sitting on Lily's bed. "So I'm surprised Spencer isn't here."
"I sent him home to get some rest thank God."
Jenny frowned, "You love him Lily."
"I don't love him Jenny. Well at least I don't remember loving him. I don't have any connection with him."
"I know that you don't remember loving him, but as far as I could see before you were madly in love with him. Maybe you should just give him a chance. I'm sure you will remember loving him, and I don't think you are going to regret it."
………………………………………………
Jenny and Rob walk into Jake's house to find the lights off and the mail piling up.
"I thought you talked to him yesterday," Rob didn't understand.
"I did. He told me not to come by because he had it all under control." She continued to walk in the house, "Dad, dad, dad are you in here?" She walked to the bedroom and found a letter addressed to her.
Dear Jenny,
Don't worry about me sweetheart. I am going to be fine. I need sometime to think about things. Don't worry sweet girl I'll be back soon enough. I just need this time to clear my head. I love you, and I know that Rob will keep you safe.
Love Dad
Rob took Jenny in his arms. He knew this was going to be hard on her.
