Brooke Davis wasn't the smartest girl on Tree Hill, but she was popular, something lots of girls wanted to be. But now, she was a lot more popular than before, the reason, quite simple, having sex in school with Lucas Scott. She was also known for being council president, and not being any more. She had always relied on herself to manage everything she had, she was good at getting what she wanted to. Now, her life depended on a boy too. Lucas Scott, until now, the best player on the Tree Hill Ravens. She wasn't in love with him, she didn't want to love him, but despite what she felt for him, she knew that there was something between them, something like some type of chemistry that made them get together, whether she wanted it to or not. But Lucas' life was damaged because of what had happened to his father.
Keith Scott had been rushed to the nearest hospital when the firemen rescued him from Whitey's burning house. In his hands he had a piece of paper. But that piece of paper wasn't important for the medical services, their first aim was to save his life. He couldn't breath on his own because of the smoke. When Karen was phoned from the hospital and received the news, she was devastated. Lucas, Nathan and her went to the hospital without knowing what to expect from their beloved Keith. It had been 2 days and he was still in a coma. Karen hadn't had any sleep since she got there and she didn't seem to going to have any unless Keith woke up, something the doctors thought wouldn't happen soon. Nathan, and Lucas, were devastated too. Their father was laying in a bed, in a coma and there was nothing they could do about it.
Brooke felt this extraordinary link with Lucas and 2 days after the accident decided that she could well go and visit Keith. She phoned Haley and asked her to go with her, as she was afraid of going alone. So Haley agreed. Haley hadn't talked with Nathan since Karen caught them kissing in his bedroom and she was worried about their relationship. She knew it could be hard, but she loved Nathan with all her heart. Hi was funny and cute. Intelligent and sexy. He was everything she had always dreamed of.
On the hospital, Lucas and Nathan had taken a rest and went to the cafeteria to have something to eat. Karen was left alone in a waiting room. It was then when Haley and Brooke rushed in and saw her. They were both afraid of what her response to seeing them would be, but they knew they should apologize about their attitudes and then ask about Keith. Yes, thet was the best plan.
"Karen?, are you ok?" Haley said in a low voice.
Karen looked up at both girls and her eyes filled in with tears. "Haley, thanks for coming" she then looked straightly at Brooke's eyesa nd pronunced the rest of her words, "you must be Brooke"
Brooke noded at the statement. She didn't look so bad as they had imagined. "Nice to meet you"
Karen smiled back at them and continued "look, i'm sorry about what i've siad about you two, i don't mind you dating Nathan and Lucas but i would like to ask you a favour, please, don't break their hearts as Dan did to me"
Both girls understood what she was trying to portrait and noded. But Karen felt guilty because of her attitude towards them, "why don't you go to the cafeteria? Lucas and Nathan are over there"
Both girl said bye and went to the cafeteria in search of their boyfriends.
Peyton sawyer had no idea about what had happened, as no one had told her. But she was starting to worry. Neither Lucas, Nathan, haley or Brooke appeared around school any more. She knew the reason for why this was about Brooke and Lucas, but it was quite rare that Natahn and Haley hadn't asisted to any of the classes. She had even tried phoning Lucas but there was no answer. But she couldn't continue worrying about them. It was that same day when she was proclaimed council president as a substitute of Brooke. This meant she could no longer be the sports anouncer and left all this job to Mouth who was delighted when he heard the news. But Peyton was also occupied by Jake. Since he had come back to Tree Hill, she had spend most of her free time with him. Thet were even together in lots of the periods.
Jake, was feeling happy because of this, he was able to enjoy being with Peyton and they had shared a few kisses with her. He knew this was a good signal and thought of it as something worthy. But he missed basketball. He was a good player and another reason for coming back to Tree Hill was to play on the Ravens, but with Whitey on prison there was no way to do it.
Rachel Gatina was happy too. Mouth was a nice guy and she usually hanged out with him. She didn't see him as a guy to be with but yes as a good friend. It had been that same morning when Brooke had told her what had happened to Keith and she told her to tell Peyton. Brooke knew this would be important for Lucas nad that was why she decided to do it. Rachel on the other hand wasn't keen on doing it but she was Brooke's best friend after all so she had to do it, whether she liked it or not
"Peyton, may i talk with you" Rachel interrupted during lunch.
Peyton was sitting next to Jake. "You can tell Jake too, there are no secrets between us"
"Ok, lets see, Brooke told me this morning to tell you that Keith is in the hospital. He was rescued from a house in fire"
Peyton was shocked at this. She had no idea at all but she was thankful that Rachel had told her. So Jake, Rachel and her headed to the hospital. Once there, they found all of them in the cafeteria. They were there, eating some food, with sad faces. Peyton went and sat next to Brooke.
"Thank you Brooke"
"For what?"
"For telling me about what's happened"
"I've told you, cause you are important to Lucas, and Lucas is important to me"
Peyton understood that very same second that Brooke had feelings for Lucas just as she had them for Jake. "I'm glad he has you"
Brooke smiled and hugged Peyton. Lucas saw this and a smile appeared in his face. For once in a very long time everything was starting to be great.
Rachel walked towards Nathan and Haley. "Is he fine?"
Nathan looked up at her "we don't know, we'll have to wait and see"
"I'm sorry Nathan".
Haley was glad that she had included those two girls in the squad, they were truely good girls, kind ones. And about Rachel she started to see her as a friend rather than as a whore. Evryone gathered around the same table were they started to chat about their lives. It was then when Rachel had an idea.
"Ok, so i've seen you all very unhappy lately, so i've got an idea! Listen carefully. What if we go on a trip this weekend, and exchange partners? It will be fun, plus we'll be able to know each other better"
Everyone agreed with her, they needed to think about something else, something less depresive, and a weekend out of town could be perfect. It could be fun.
