Lucas was pacing angrily in the corridor of the waiting room of the hospital. It's been two hours and he still hadn't any news on Brooke. He didn't know if she was okay or if she was... No, he couldn't think of it, she was okay, she had to. She was a fighter and she would find the strength to go through it. Lucas closed his eyes for a second and all he could see was Brooke's pale face and her weak body lying in his arms when he had got her out of the café.
"Charge to 200." The words echoed in his head and it was driving him crazy. And why any of those doctors would come and tell him that she was okay?
He punched the white wall of the waiting room. He didn't even felt the pain in his fist. He screamed in anger and hit the wall again until Nathan stopped him by holding his arm. Lucas bursted into tears and rested his head against the wall. Haley immediately walked next to him and ran her hand up and down his back to comfort him.
"She's gonna be okay Luke." Nathan said, realasing his arm and putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
A doctor arrived and asked: "Is there anyone for Brooke Davis?"
Lucas walked up to him and said: "I'm her boyfriend, how is she?"
"I'm sorry, we only give those kind of informations to the close family." The doctor replied. Enough for Lucas to push him againt the wall.
"You're going to tell me right now how she is." He told him with an anger that Haley had never seen in his eyes before.
Once again Nathan had to stop him. "I'm sorry Sir, please excuse him, he just worried about my sister. I'm Nathan Davis, Brooke's older brother." He said shaking hands with the doctor.
"Can I see your parents?" The doctor asked.
"I'm sorry but the left for California a long time ago, I'm taking care of my little sister since then." Nathan explained him.
"Alright, follow me then." The doctor told him.
Karen, Mouth, Rachel and Peyton were still at the café to deal with everything that had happened there and Nathan and Haley had immediately come to the hospital once the robber had finally let everyone leave the café without another gunshot.
About five minutes later, but what seemed to Lucas an eternity, Nathan came back.
"She's fine, she in recovery right now. They stopped the internal bleeding and removed the bullet. They'll take more test tomorrow once she'll be a little better." He explained.
"Thanks Nate." Lucas said.
"Second room on the left bro." Nathan told him, patting his shoulder and giving him a smile.
Lucas left towards Brooke's room.
"Is she gonna be okay?" Haley asked to her husband.
"They don't know yet, she fine for the moment but they don't know if the bullet caused more damaged than what they think." Nathan explained.
Haley sighed and rested her head on Nathan shoulder.
When Lucas entered Brooke's room, he found her peacefully asleep. He took her hand in his and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. He hated to see her like this, this was unbearable. He wanted to save her, save her from this hospital room, save her like she had always begged for him to save her. He went off of his thoughts when she slightly stir and weakly opened her eyes. She looked around, she looked so scared and lost.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm here." He told her and when she finally set her eyes on him, she relaxed and closed her eyes again.
"You're at the hospital and you're going to be fine." He explained, kissing her forehead once again.
She opened her eyes and tried to speak but no sound came out of her mouth. Suddenly Lucas remember what is was like to lay there, helpless, to wake up after sugery and to feel so alone and numb. He immediately pourred some water in a glass and helped her to drink.
Brooke kept her eyes closed for a while, regaining some strength. She was not feeling any pain probably because of the morphine but she could defenitely say that something was wrong with her.
She took a small breath and opened her eyes. "You saved me." She managed to say.
"I wish I hadn't had to save you babe. I wish nothing bad has happened to you and you wouldn't be lying here, we would be lying in my bed together, feeling safe." He said sadly.
"I'm okay." She lied.
"Shh honey, don't try to talk, you have to keep you strength okay?" He asked.
"Cold." She told him as she looked at him in the eyes.
He reached for the blanket and covered her gently, kissing her lips this time.
She nodded and closed her eyes. He kissed her forehead once again and she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Stay." She begged, she thought that this was a goodbye kiss, but of course, it wasn't.
"I'm not going anywhere, sleep tight pretty girl, I'll be there when you wake up." He promised, running his hand throught her hair.
She nodded and whispered: "Love you."
"I love you too baby." He replied, sitting down on the chair next to her and holding her hand tightly in his as Brooke driffted back to sleep.
It had just been about ten minutes that Brooke has closed her eyes, that she opened them again. She felt a weight on her hand and found Lucas, asleep and resting his head on the bed next to her hand while he was sitting on a chair. She knew that this wasn't a good position to sleep, and truth was that she wanted him by her side, not in a chair. She pulled her hand out from his grasp and ran her hand throught his hair. He opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Lay with me?" She almost begged.
He looked surprised by her question and as he didn't move she added in the same tired voice: "Please."
"Anything for you." He said in a whisper.
He climbed on the bed and laid on his side next to her, very careful not to hurt her more than she already was. Once he found himself confortable he looked at Brooke and saw tears running down her cheeks.
"Did I...?" He started and she immediately shook her head no.
He dried her tears with his tumbs and kissed her cheek.
"Scared." She told him, looking at the ceiling.
"It's going to be okay baby, I promised. You don't have to be scared, I'm right here next to you." He whispered in her ear.
She nodded her head, trying not to spill any more tears.
"Come on, let's go some sleep now." He told her, kissing her on the cheek on more time.
She nodded on last time and closed her eyes. Lucas watched her until he was sure that she was fully asleep.
About 3 hours later, Lucas woke up and found Brooke still asleep and shaking like a leaf next to him. She was probably having a nightmare. She was sweaty, breathing heavily and shaking her head from side to sides.
"Brooke, wake up." He said as he cupped her cheek in his hand.
She immediately woke up, gasped for air and bursted into tears once the memory of her nightmare came back.
"I'm here, I'm right here." Lucas told her as he burried his face in her neck and kissed her. She wrapped a arm around his neck and cried even more.
"Miss Davis, your brother wants to see you." They heard from behind.
Brooke pulled apart and gave Lucas a questioning look before drying quickly her tears with the back of her hand. Lucas smiled at her and get off the bed to allow her to see Nathan and Haley standing by the entrance of the door. Brooke immediately smiled when she saw them.
"Brother?" She asked to Nathan. She wasn't feeling really good, but a little better than when see woke up for the first time.
"Yeah, I had to lie to them because they would only give informations about you to the family members. As Lucas tried to litteraly 'get the words out of the doctor's throat', I just told him that I was your older brother taking care of you since our parents had left to California." Nathan explained.
Brooke smiled at him but then she looked at Lucas who shrugged, he knew she wanted explanation about the doctor part.
"Don't know what he's talking about." Lucas stated.
"Yeah right." Nathan said rolling his eyes.
Brooke looked at Haley who was shyly standing next to Nathan and hadn't say a word yet.
"Come here." Brooke requested, welcoming Haley into a hug.
"How do you feel Tigger?" She asked.
"Good, tired." Brooke replied.
"We better let you get some rest now. We know your in good hands." Nathan said.
Haley gave another hug to Brooke and then it was Nathan's turn to hug his her.
"Sleep tight little sis." He said giving her his best smile and a kiss on the cheek.
She nodded in answer and the married couple left the room.
"Luke?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, what is it pretty girl?" He asked back.
"What I told you at the café, about you and Peyton, it's true." She said, she was putting all her stength together to managed to say a whole sentence, but she had to.
Lucas didn't know how to respond to that, he didn't what to say, worse, he didn't know if he had to say something.
"If something happens to me, I want you to be happy." She explained again.
That was enough for Lucas. "Listen to me Brooke, nothing is going to happen to you, nothing, you hear me?"
The words came out way more harshly than what he meant, which caused tears to spill down Brooke's face.
"Just in case." She said.
It broke his heard to see her crying, he bent over her and whispered in her ear: "You're safe now and I love you, you and only you."
Brooke just closed her eyes and bit her lower lip.
"Look at me." He asked gently.
"Stop torturing yourself with Peyton, it's you Brooke. You're the one who drives me crazy, you are the first person I think about when I wake up and the last when I fall asleep." He said.
Brooke nodded again and Lucas said: "Now, I'm going to kiss you passionately because I've been dying to do it since you woke up."
Brooke smiled and Lucas kissed her just like he said.
Once he pulled apart out of breath, they looked at each other and smiled.
"You drive me crazy too." She told him.
"I hope so. Now you have to get more sleep." He told her.
"More kisses first?" She asked with a smile.
"I was hoping you would ask." He said.
"I love you Lucas. I love you." She told him before they shared another passionate kiss.
