Thank you for the comments guys! (: I really loved reading your comments on the newest chapter. You guys are really great. I love hearing what you guys liked in the chapter and your predictions, I'd love to keep hearing them. Anyway- here is chapter thirteen!

During the far from normal experience of Lucas's accident, Brooke had learned millions of hard, cruel lessons. Between counting every last striking minute of waiting for him to recover and the long conversations with herself in attempt to understand it all, Brooke had seen the real world. It was a dangerous place out there, a place where even the good guy got hurt. The cold hard truth had hit her and honestly she was scared.

"Lucas. . . " Brooke was still in a hardcore state of shock. The words barely escaped her red stained lips.

"Brooke." Lucas raised his eyebrow at her and flashed a huge smile.

"It's okay Brooke, it really is. It's all going to be just fine." Lucas slowly reached out his right arm, letting his broken wrist hang freely.

Brooke sucked in as much oxygen as she could. With everything that had happened over the past hours, it became a major neccesity. She loosely gripped is index finger and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. She couldn't handle it anymore, the pain was just eating her alive. She broke out into tears as she poured out her fragile heart.

"Lucas. I didn't know what would happen to you, if you'd be okay, if i'd ever be with you again, if I could ever tell you half of the things that you need to hear. Luke I . . . ."

"Brooke Davis, I love you."

Brooke swallowed hard and wiped away some tears.

"I love you so much." She climbed into the bed and held him tight. His arm draped around her shoulders and he squeezed her tight, never to let go.

"Nathan, baby, please." Haley had given up on the tears by now, they weren't going to help her get the love of her life back. In fact, all they were doing were bringing her further down.

"Nathan. I need you to wake up for me okay? I really need you. When I first met you a few years ago, the truth was I never knew who you really were. I didn't know the person I fell in love with. I thought you were nothing but a spitting image of Dan Scott, straight out of hell. I was completely wrong Nathan. You're nothing like Dan, you're the most amazing person I have ever met. Now I've fallen in love with the person you really are. Please wake up, don't let me lose the only person i've ever loved."

Haley burried her face in Nathan's chest and winced.

"I am totally and comlpetely in love with you Nathan Scott, always and forever."

"Haley?" Brooke tapped on the door lightly.

"Oh sorry if I interrupted you. . .I. . ."

"Brooke it's okay, what's happening?" Haley said, sitting up in her very uncomfortable chair.

"Lucas wants to see you, well if you are alright with leaving Nathan for a while." Brooke flashed a small reassuring smile to one of her best friends.

"Could you stay with him Brooke?" Haley asked politely.

"Of course, now go see Luke." Brooke said as she sat down next to Nathan.

"Haley, it's going to be okay, I promise." She rubbed Haley's shoulder shortly and turned back to Nathan.

"Please don't make promises you can't keep Brooke." Haley muttered as she left and winded down the hall to her best friend.

"Hey Hales." Lucas's plain face shot up with emotions. The happiness and joy he had urged for after his not so joyous accident had finally been given to him after seeing his girlfriend and best friend.

"Hey Luke. You had no idea. . . " Haley walked over and hugged him tightly.

"Hales, you're never going to get rid of me." Lucas winked with a hint of comical expression.

Haley smacked his arm. "Don't joke like that, this is serious, I could have lost one of the most important people in my life, my best friend." Haley was on the verge of crying, but forced herself to stop.

"But you didn't Haley. I'm still here and everything is going to be alright, Nathan too." He squeezed her and kissed her forehead.

"It's going to be fine." He showed a huge smile, too contagious for her to avoid doing herself.

"Look America, Haley James can smile!" He cackled and nudged her in the arm.

"Oh shut up!" She said smiling.

"You know what we need to do now?" Lucas asked her, sitting in in his hospital bed.

"What do we need to do?"

"We need to play yahtzee, like we did in the good ol' days."

Haley rolled her eyes. "Are you serious Lucas? You were just in a car accident. "

Lucas rolled his eyes in a mocking manner. "Well yeah! Yahtzee is only the best game on planet earth besides strip poker with Brooke! And so what if I was in a car accident? I wanna play Haley!" He said pouting.

"Where would we get the game huh? I'm pretty sure they don't sell them at the gift shop. Oh by the way a lot of people left you random stuff like chocolate, huge stuffed teddy bears, balloons and pink flowers that say congrats on your twins, obviously from Tim," She rolled her eyes for the second time.

"Anyway they all just showed up like Bam! There they are."

"Bam?" He raised his eyebrow at her.

"Bam!" She flashed her hands in the air.

"Oh."

"Heck yes." Haley said pointing to all the gifts around his room.

"Anyway, I have the game with me, don't ask questions." Lucas added while he pulled out the game from a drawer in his night table.

"I won't, fine let's play." She said, getting everything ready for use.

Lucas grabbed the dyes and threw them into the red cup and shook them violently. He released the dyes and let them fall on the bed.

"YAHTZEE!"

"Luke, nothing happened, you didn't get yahtzee." Haley said with a puzzled look.

"Ah come on! That's the only reason I play this game. That's the best part!" He said in an excited tone.

"You are such a dork." She said laughing and hugging him again. She was nothing but extremely grateful to still have her best friend.

"Alright so maybe we had a really terrible past you know, with all the fights and and stupid drama, but I realy do care about you. Let me just say that to start."

Peyton sat on Nathan's bed, staring down at him and rubbing her arm. So far she was the only one who was remaining strong, and she planned to keep it that way. this was purely professional, no emotional 'come back to me crap', just business.

"So dude, you really need to get up for Haley, and Lucas, you know, your brother that you just decided to be nice to. They both need you Nate. Haley needs you more than anything right now so you have to pull it together. I mean a car accident really isn't that bad. I mean, you could have like fallen off a skyscraper or got eatin' by some wild grizzly bear, who know maybe you could have shot yourself while you were drunk. All I know is that I've done this before and that's enough. I actually did lose someone close to me this same exact way, please don't make it happen twice. Do it for Haley."

She grabbed his hand and squeezed it with hers.

"Move your hand if you can hear me."

Peyton carefully watched Nathan's hand. Still his fingers lay lifeless.

"Come on Nate, you're stronger than this." She wouldn't let go of his hand, she didn't know why, but she felt the sudden authority to be his guardian angel.

"Let me tell you something that I normally keep to myself." She blinked away some tears.

" When my mom died after her car accident, well it just hit me so hard and I really didn't know what to do. I was just so young, you know, and I didn't think I could handle it all. I still can't after all these years. All they did was tell me, my dad, the doctors, the nurses, all they did was tell me that they did all they could and she was gone. They gave me sorrow and grief, but none of it made a difference. You don't know what it's like Nathan, but trust me you need to hang in there. . ." She tightened her grip on his hand and began to cry. The tears came faster as she continued.

"I loved my mom and I know she tried as hard as she could to be with me, to stay with me and watch me grow up. Nathan, I know you have the strength to wake up. If you really love Haley, you won't let her go through all of that. Trust me, it stays with you forever." She held tight to his hand and wiped her eyes with her free arm.

"Come on Nathan, this isn't funny!"

Peyton watched him closely, her green eyes were still glossy and full of tears. Nathan's pointer finger moved slightly against Peyton's.

"Nathan!"

"Peyton. . . "

"Nathan!" She smiled and let go of his hand.

"How's Lucas? and Haley. . . "

Peyton wiped her eyes and grinned. "They're both fine and happy, well at least now they are."

There you go guys! Nathan is okay!! We'll be getting back to normal quite soon. I hope you liked it (: Please Review.
