Chapter 11
Brooke was still in the room with Lucas holding his hand. She talked to him almost the whole time she was there. She talked about this and that and about her life and everything that was going on. She could swear that see felt him squeeze her hand threw out the time she was there. It gave her little hope since the doctors said that that was the first sign for a patient to wake up but the next signs couldn't be in another week or a month. Peyton came once to see how he was doing and said she wouldn't be there after school since her and Jake had a date and it was about time they did. She also said that Nathan and Haley were going to come in the afternoon and spend as much time as they could with her and Lucas. Karen passed by a few times but still had to take care of the café.
As promised in the afternoon came Nathan and Haley. They told Brooke to go eat something since she probably didn't eat during the whole day. They both sat beside Lucas, and talked to him.
'..Whitey wanted me to tell you to get your ass back up.' Nathan laughed a bit. 'We need you to wake up Luke. Not for us but for you and Karen and Brooke. You probably already know this but Brooke has been her everyday. It's weird to see her without make up and jogging pants but without it seems like she doesn't care anymore.' Nathan said with tears in his eyes, simply by seeing his brother like this. What he hated the most was to see his friend like this. Yah him and Lucas didn't get along well at the beginning but now he didn't know what he would do without him. Haley was crying and couldn't really say anything since Nathan already said everything that was needed. The only thing she said was: 'We need you Buddy.' And she had trouble saying it without her voice cracking. 'Please wake up.' Nathan looked at Lucas hoping he would wake up, but nothing happened. Nathan looked over to Haley and she squeezed his hand to comfort him. They sat in Lucas' room in silence both crying inside but didn't want to show it too much because they wanted to be strong for each other. Suddenly Nathan felt something; he felt Lucas squeeze his hand. Nathan didn't know this was only the first sign, so he thought that Lucas was waking up. 'Lucas, wake up.' And now the unbelievable happened Lucas woke up.
'Nathan…Hales…' He said in a weak and dry voice. Nathan noticed his voice was dry so he gave him a glass of water.
'I'm going to go get the doctor.' Haley said rushing out of the room.
Brooke turned the corner into the hallway where Lucas' room was and saw a doctor running into his room. She panicked. She ran to his door as fast as she could and when she arrived in front she had tears running down her face and her hands were trembling, preparing for the worst. She slowly opened the door scared to see what was on the other side. She smiled. Her Broody was awake. She ran to the side next to him and hugged him. He hugged her back as tight as he could even though he was still pretty weak. Nathan, Haley and the doctor left them to give them some privacy even though the doctor would be back soon.
'I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose you…' She whispered crying on his chest.
'Shhhh…its okay I'm here now.' He said rubbing her back. Brooke nodded and lifted her head a bit. She kissed him with all that she had. They kissed until they weren't able to breathe anymore. They pulled away and before either could say something the doctor came in.
'I'm sorry but I am going to need to check a few things.' He said. Brooke nodded and left the room.
