Karen re-entered the waiting room four hours later, everyone except Brooke was asleep, clutching Lucas' grey hoodie that he brought to games, she always loved that hoodie; it reminded her of the good times.
'Lucas!' Brooke screeched as her and Lucas ran through his door. It had been raining and they were obviously soaked.
'Here wear this' Luke offered his grey hoodie and jogging bottoms.
'Thanks,' she accepted, slipping on the bottoms and grey hoodie inhaling his musky scent.
'God I am sooo wet!' Brooke cried.
'You should have brought an umbrella Brooke!' Lucas laughed.
'It's the middle of summer Luke, we live in California!' Brooke said stating the facts, 'how was I supposed to guess it was going to rain? I'm not a psychic!'
'Nope you're a psycho!' Luke snorted in amusement.
'Right! You're gonna get it!' Brooke laughed as she ran towards him; pushing him over making the two of them collapse on the floor. He tickled her all over, tossing her underneath him.
'Stop!' She screamed in between laughs. She chucked her head forward, parallel to Lucas'. He looked into her eyes and smiled, there was no one else like Brooke Davis, and he had her, god he was lucky. He slowly tipped his head allowing his lips to meet Brooke's awaiting mouth. She giggled as Lucas slowly peeled her favourite grey sweater from her in an act of love.
No one in that waiting room knew whether it would ever be like that again, only Lucas did.
Karen slowly woke everyone up and asked them to go and get some sleep. Everyone refused to go home until they had seen Lucas and apologized. 'Okay, quickly all of you go see him but don't let the nurses see you.'
Everyone rushed upwards except Brooke who stayed firmly glued to her plastic chair, Karen questioned her. 'I just need to prepare myself for his rejection.' Brooke smiled sadly. 'But he's safe that's the important thing right?' She tried to convince herself, they weren't important right now she was and she would be okay with the fact that he would never want to speak to her again. Karen smiled as she excused herself finding herself in need of sleep and at the lack of an encouraging speech to give to the girl she considered her daughter.

Thirty minutes later Nathan walked in 'Listen, I'm sorry about earlier, I was just riled and scared and stuff, you know I love him, he's my brother and we've all talked and he forgives us, I just thought you should know that.'
Brooke reached out to hug him and softly said 'I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have gone off at you like that, I'm just as at fault as you are, forgive me?'
'Already have!' He hugged her.
'So he forgave you all?' Brooke questioned wishing to be that lucky; she knew she had hurt him more than the rest; his forgiveness would be so much harder to gain.
'Yeah, he is fine with us all… he just needed us to notice HIS pain, shame it took a heart attack, you know.' Nathan shrugged, he'd been a bastard there was no doubt but he was going to fix that, they all were.
He kissed her on the forehead as he got up to leave. 'He wants to see you. Room 246.' He smiled as he left the empty hospital waiting room.
Brooke inhaled, Nathan's words echoing around her head, every brain cell occupied by Lucas. He just needed us to notice HIS pain, shame it took a heart attack.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
Brooke subconsciously fiddled with her hair and outfit, if she was going down then she would do so in style. She was expecting to see her Lucas covered in wires and looking in pain. But as she walked through the door all she saw was a single heart monitor and a drip which were completely overshadowed by his welcoming smile. 'Hey Pretty Girl.'
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
'Hey Broody.' She began to tear up. It was hurting her so much to be this close to him, knowing her heart was about to shatter. If he rejected her, she was sure she would be the next occupant of a hospital bed.
High up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth
'I'm glad you're okay' Brooke exhaled making eye contact, 'and I get it if you never want to see me again but I just need you to know, I'm sorry' Brooke cried, tears pouring from the corners of her eyes, it was amazing what one boy could do to her, but he wasn't just any boy, he was her boy, her Lucas. 'And you will never find someone that loves you as much as I do!' she spoke clearly as she dragged one foot to the other in the chair next to his bed. She looked down and then looked up again to find her inches away from Lucas.
Tears streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I
'I've wasted enough time being unhappy, and I'm tired of it, if you haven't noticed. I want to be happy with my friends and my family and you.' He smiled that irresistible smile, before pressing his lips softly against hers.
'You're active for a guy that just had a heart attack.'
'It's you, you're too tempting and my heart is too weak to resist.' He joked, smirking.
She kissed him again, harder and more passionately, it had been too long.
'And just for the record, you will never find anyone who will love you as much as I do!' Lucas whispered.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
'Then we are perfect for each other.'
SO THAT'S IT…. YOU KNOW YOU WANNA TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT SO DO IT!
REVIEW!!!!!!! For the final time :
