Brooke just stood there…standing face to face with Sam…She had tears running down her face, but Brooke showed no emotion…If anything, she looked down on her in disgust…
"Brooke…"
Sam was trying to hold back soft, soft tears…But she couldn't…
"Sam…I have nothing to say to you…"
"Brooke…just give me 5 minutes please…I need to explain…"
Sam was pleading with Brooke…
"Sam I don't want to hear it!!!…"
"Brooke…I need chance to explain…"
"Sam….you don't need to explain!!!…"
"Brooke please!!…"
"No Sam!!…My baby doesn't have a father because of you and Victoria!!…"
Sam was shaking her head…
"No….that's not true!!!…"
"We would have never been arguing Sam!!…If you could have kept your pathetic little plans to yourself…Julian would still be here!!…"
"No!!!…"
Sam refused to believe what Brooke was saying…But, believe it or not, it was the truth…
"The truth hurts doesn't it Sam??!!…"
"It's not the truth!!…"
Sam was still crying…
"Yes it is Sam!!!…You're the reason he's dead!!…"
Sam just shook her head and whispered…
"No…"
She was still crying…
"I hope you can live with yourself Sam!!!…My baby suffers because of you!!…"
It was then that a car pulled up outside Brooke's house…But, neither Sam or Brooke noticed…
"Brooke!!…"
As Brooke began to turn around, Sam grabbed her arm…
"Get your hands off me!!…"
"No!!…"
Brooke turned around and shoved her face directly into Sam's, as she did, Lucas jumped out of his car and ran up to separate Brooke and Sam…Brooke's voice was beginning to tremble…
"Brooke come on…."
"I hate you!!!…Do you get that Sam??…I hate you!!…More than I have ever hated anyone in my entire life!!!…"
Sam just screamed at Brooke…
"Nooooo!!!!…."
"Brooke come on jut leave it!!…"
Lucas managed to separate Brooke and Sam…He pulled Brooke away from Sam, after he managed to prise Sam's arm off her…
"I hope you can live with yourself, for when you do it to someone else…because you will Sam…you will…"
Brooke shrugged her way out of Lucas' arms and she walked inside…After she did, she slammed the door in Lucas and Sam's face…Sam just sat down on her doorstep…Lucas tried to talk to her, but Sam didn't want to know…She refused to move until Brooke talked to her…Lucas tried to talk to Brooke aswell…but, no avail…
"Sam…she just needs time…"
"No…I deserve everything she throws at me…"
Sam was still crying…Crying hard…
"She didn't mean anything she said…."
"No…you cant speak for Brooke…she did mean those words….a-and they were the truth…"
"Sam…you cant stay here…you need to find somewhere…"
"No…"
Sam just shook her head…
"Sam…you can come home with me…"
"No Lucas…I cant do that…you have a life of your own….this is my mess…I can ask anyone to clean up the kayos I have created…this is my doing and I am gonna out it right…"
"Sam…please…"
"Lucas…I need to talk to Brooke….and I am going to stay here until she comes out and listens to what I have to say…"
"Sam it's not healthy…"
Sam just looked up at Lucas…Lucas was going to speak again, but he was interrupted by a phone call…He immediately took out his cell phone and placed it up to his ear…
"Hello…"
His voice was full of urgency…
"Is everything ok??…"
Then silence….
"Ok…I'll be right there…"
As Lucas placed his cell phone in his pocket, he began to rapidly walk to his car…Sam was up behind him…
"Is everything ok??…"
"It's Haley…"
"I-Is she ok??…What's wrong??…"
"I don't know…all I know is I should be with her…"
And with that Lucas left…As he did, Sam took her place back on Brooke's doorstep…She leant against the wall and waited… Elsewhere, Peyton had just arrived at the hospital, with Jamie…She had left the girls with Karen, so she could spend time with her close friends daughter and her granddaughter…Peyton didn't want the girls at Haley's bedside, they were too young to understand and it would have been to much for them to handle…Only as a last resort, Peyton would bring the girls…She had discussed it with Lucas and Nathan…Yet they agreed…Peyton put Jamie on the floor, as they got out of the car…She could barely lift him, her bump was getting so big now…She was indeed seven and a half months pregnant…Her bump was bulging out, but yet, being pregnant suited her ever so much…Soon Jamie and Peyton had reached Haley's room…Peyton took Jamie's hand, as they walked in the room…Haley, was laid still…The life support machine practically breathing for her…Jamie ran over to his dad and gave him a hug…
"Hey buddy…"
"Hi daddy…"
"You ok??…"
Jamie nodded his head…
"Can I talk to momma??…"
"Of course you can…"
Jamie climbed up onto Haley's bed…He lifted her arm up and laid his body next to her…He then placed her hand over his tiny body and he wrapped his arms around his mom…Nathan looked at his son and his wife…His lips trembled, and he smiled…Peyton walked over to Nathan and gave him a hug…
"How is she??…"
"N-not good…"
You could tell he wanted to cry…
"I-I have some news, for when Lucas gets here…"
"Wh-…"
But before Peyton could finish, she had her hands cradled around her stomach…Nathan had one hand on her shoulder and the other on her stomach in an instant…
"What is it??…Are you ok??…"
"Yeah…."
Peyton took a deep breath…
"Yeah…One of the twins just kicked me really hard…"
She took another deep breath…
"Ok ok ok….Just come and sit here…"
Nathan was still hold of her helping her to sit in the chair…
"How's Brooke doing??…"
"Not good…she's trying to hide her feelings…she's trying to cover up what happened to Julian and forget about it…"
"It's hard for her…"
"I know it is…but, she needs to let us help her through this…s-she likes to deal with the big stuff on her own…but Nate…"
Nathan looked down at Peyton…She still had her hands on her stomach…Peyton continued when their eyes met…
"What??…"
"Nathan…this is big…this is the by far the biggest thing she has had to deal with…"
"I know….but, we have to help anyway we can…we just need to get her to open up…"
Peyton looked down at Haley and Jamie…Her eyes began to fill up…She knew how much Haley meant to Jamie…She knew that it would break Jamie's heart, if Haley didn't make it through her ordeal…And it brought the thought to her…Her kids…She would never want Anna, or the twins to feel or go through what Jamie is going through…She never took her eyes off them…
"It's Julian's funeral today…."
"What??…"
"Brooke didn't want anyone to know…but, I know we shouldn't leave Haley…but, Brooke needs us today…now more than ever…And I think Lucas, you and I should go…but, if anything happens here we need to come right back…"
Nathan just looked at Haley for a second…He a moment to think…
"A-as much as I hate to leave Haley on her own…I know your right…"
"I-I know Lucas will probably not agree…but, she needs us…today is gonna be one of the worst days of her life…We have to help her through it Nate…"
"I know…"
Nathan nodded his head…
"She needs us to be there…"
"Brooke has helped us through the bad times so many times…and now we need to help her…"
Nathan nodded his head yet again…As Nathan and Peyton continued to talk, Jamie was talking to Haley…
"Come on momma…you can do this…you need to fight…I know you can do it…you just need to do it…you can do it….w-we are all waiting for you to wake up momma…you just need to…"
Nathan and Peyton had stopped talking, as they heard Jamie talking to Haley…Both had tears running down their faces…It was then that Lucas ruptured into the room…He was panting…Out of breath.
"Is everything ok??…"
"Luke…it's not good…"
Lucas never changed his expression. It was full of helplessness. Fear. Sorrow. Hurt. Nathan took Peyton and Lucas, over to a corner in the room, as he didn't want Jamie to hear what he was about to tell them…The scene that was in front of him with Jamie and Haley, tore his heart apart…As Nathan began to talk, you could hear the fear in his voice…
"Nathan what's going on??…"
"Luke….Luke, Haley's in a permanent coma…"
"What??…"
"The chances of her waking up…are literally next to nothing…"
"But, she could wake up???…"
Nathan just looked at him. Not showing any emotion. Not saying a word.
"Nathan…she still has a chance of waking up??…"
"Yes…but, the odds are that she will never wake up…"
"N-Nate…I-I don't care about the odds!!…"
"Lucas…even the doctors say she is never gonna awake up…and if she does, she will never fully recover…"
Lucas pointed directly at Nathan, overcome with anger…
"She is gonna wake up Nate…I know it…I know Haley better than anyone…and she is gonna come back to us…She is gonna wake up, because she's a Scott and she is a fighter…"
It was then, that Lucas walked over and sat in the chair next to Haley…He took her hand and held it…He was never gonna give up on her. He believed in his best friend. If anyone could beat the odds, it was Haley…She always proved everyone wrong…apart from Lucas, of course…Or so he liked to think…He never had given up on her and he was not about to…Peyton had approached Jamie. She had talked to her for a few minutes, before she took him off to her house, so Karen could look after him. At the same time, Lucas and Nathan stayed with Haley, before noting the doctor and leaving to get ready for Julian's funeral…Meanwhile, Brooke had just checked the final things for Julian's funeral…She wore some grey tracksuit bottoms, with a baggy, grey, oversized t-shirt…Her hair was tied back into a small bun…She grabbed her clutch off of the side of the cabinet, before she left the house to go to the store…But, as she stood outside, Sam stood up in front of her…Sam was directly in her path…
"Move…"
Sam had red marks under her eyes from where she had been crying…
"No…"
"I strongly suggest you move…"
"I'm not going anywhere until we talk…"
Brooke was walking forwards…But, Sam refused to move…She was been pushed back, as Brooke was walking forwards…
"There's nothing to talk about Sam…"
Brooke didn't even look at Sam…She looked directly ahead…She couldn't bear to look at her…
"Yes there is!!…"
Sam was pleading with her…
"You're a murder Sam…I have said everything I wanted to say…there is nothing left to say!!…"
"Noo!!…"
Brooke pushed Sam aside, as she got into her car…Sam was crying. A complete wreck laid on the floor. She was destroyed…Or at least she looked it…
"Brooke…"
"Now…if you don't mind I have a funeral to go to…"
It was then that Brooke slammed the door and drove off…Believe it or not, she was trembling…Her hands were shaking…And out of nowhere, she burst into tears…Elsewhere, Lucas and Nathan were back home, getting ready for Julian's funeral…Nathan and Lucas simply wore a plain black suit…Both with matching ties…There still had been no news on Haley, so they assumed everything was ok…But, Nathan couldn't go without checking…So he did…Peyton came out of the room…She wore a short black dress, which stopped half way up her thigh…It had tick black straps, which were made out of a soft smooth material…the dress was then tightly fitted across her chest and then the soft material just flowed gracefully over her large growing baby bump…to accompany, she wore plain black stilettos and had a light black clutch, which had a small black ribbon on the top of it…Her perfect golden curls flowed gracefully over her body…Even at such a tragic occasion, she lifted the room with her presence…She still managed to look stunning…
10 MINUTES LATER…
Nathan had got off the phone with the doctor…Still no change with Haley…He had told Lucas and Peyton, that he would see then there, as he was going to Clothes over Bros, to see how she was doing…Brooke had done her hair and changed her clothes…Her dark brown locks, were pinned back into small curls…all overlapping each other, they stood up in a large bouquet of large ringlets…Her side fringe was left down to cover the right side of her face…She wore no make-up…which did show the fragile state she was in…She wore a plain black dress, which took the shape of her body and was a tight fit. She wore black stilettos with a plain black clutch, with a black flower on the side…Brooke's baby bump, was beginning to show…Her stomach was swollen…She placed her hands on her stomach and as she did, she had tears rolling down her face, as she looked at herself in the mirror…It was then, that Nathan, walked into the store…Brooke walked across the room and stood opposite him. As she looked at him, she broke down…She began to crouch down…and Nathan was over there in an instant to catch her….
"It's ok…it's ok…."
"I-I cant do it Nathan…I-I cant…"
Nathan helped Brooke up and comforted her by giving her a hug…
"Listen Brooke…I know it's hard…but, I am here for you….I am gonna help you through today….but, you need to stay strong…that's what your best at…and today you need to that…you have a baby coming…you need to say goodbye, now before its too late…you need to be prepared for this baby…"
"I-I know…"
"Ok…lets do this…"
"N-Nathan…thank you…"
Nathan pulled out of the hug…
"Your more than welcome…"
He took her hand…
"You ready??…"
Brooke grabbed her clutch and a single red rose from her desk…
"Y-yeah.."
Then Nathan and Brooke, left hand an hand to go to Julian's funeral…
30 MINUTES LATER…
The guests were sat in the church, waiting for the funeral to start…Lucas, Nathan, Mouth, Julian's father and Skillz were stood outside waiting for the car to pull up…Brooke was stood on her own under a large tree, waiting for her husband's body to come…In her bag, there was a baby scan, a photo of them both and his wedding ring…Tears were still falling down her face…It wasn't long before the car arrived…In the back, there was Julian's coffin… his body was contained in a wooden coffin, which was a light brown oak type of wood…There was a bed of flowers, which spelt out Julian's name in which were white flowers…Brooke walked over to the car and she leant against the car…He head was pressed against the back window, as she stared at his coffin…She broke down…Nathan walked over to her and pulled her away…Nathan pulled Brooke into a tight hug, as Lucas and the others prepared Julian's coffin…
"It's gonna be ok??…"
"I know…"
Julian kissed Brooke's forehead and he joined the others holding Julian's coffin…They began to take Julian's coffin into the church, with a heartbroken Brooke following behind…Inside, Nathan took a seat next to Brooke. He took her hand, as she was shaking and completely distraught…The priest began the ceremony…
10 MINUTES LATER…
"Now I know that a close friend of Julian's would like to say a few words…so I am going to hand you over to Peyton Scott…"
Peyton stood up and she walked over to the stand at the front of church…Then she began her speech…
"I am probably the worst public speaker ever…but, Julian deserves the best I have to give…so, here it goes…Kindness. Loyal. Helpful. Passionate. Considerate. Unconditional love. We all know Julian personified those qualities…but, there was something else…something else that wasn't so apparent…and that is what I would like to address first…People who didn't know Julian, often tended to mistake his kindness and love for weakness…But, he was equivalent to an iron fist in a velvet glove…ask anyone who snapped his last nerve…I cant speak for any of you, but I know damn well…and I'm sure Brooke does to…that we wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his tempers…but, that wasn't his usual way…if he wanted you to do the right thing, which was always so clear to him, he would win you over with calm and kindness and before you know it, you were doing exactly what he said…"
Brooke was weeping soft tears now…Pretty much everyone was to realise the great person they had lost…Brooke had one hand on her stomach and Nathan tightened his grip around her hand…However, unbeknown to everyone attending, Sam had sneaked in the back and was watching he funeral from a distance…
"And if you chose to do the exact thing she told you not to, his love never wavered…because he was loyal to the people he loved no matter what...especially for his notoriously nutty father…Julian was the centre of not only his won family, but many other families and friendships…but to Julian the heart of his family was always everyone else…But, more than anyone there was one person who was responsible for the incredible man that Julian turned out to be…"
Peyton didn't say a name, she just looked at Brooke…
"And that person should be very proud…Julian had a very wonderful unique way of making families beyond his own…one consisted of the people he worked with…Lucas in particular…he thought highly of you…and that I'm sure you know…"
Peyton began to break down…her voice was breaking…She was fighting back the tears…But, her eyes filled up…
"Julian's friendship was a gift…I know…I was fortunate enough to call him one of my closest friends since we were eighteen years old…he was my rock…my support system…and I will carry him my heart for as long as I live….There is someone else I would like to mention…Brooke…He owned a unique place in Brooke's heart…a place reserved only for him…He wasn't just her husband…he was her hero…I think we all know that Julian was an amazing person here on Earth…and I think we all know that he will even be better in heaven…He will be watching down on all of us…especially Brooke…"
Peyton stood for a minute or two, before she left to go and sit back down…It was then the priest finished the ceremony…Brooke, with Nathan's help, stood up and began to walk back down the altar…Following were the men who were carrying Julian's coffin…Brooke never noticed Sam…Tears were flowing freely down her face….Brooke led everyone to a quite peaceful garden, filled with flowers…There was flowers, all ready laid out for Julian…They all gathered around a small square opening in the ground and placed Julian's coffin on a small stand, ready to be lowered down…Nathan stood back, and yet again took Brooke's hand…As the priest spoke, Julian's body was laid to rest…
"And now…it's our finally chance to say goodbye…"
Ashes were passed around in a small wooden box….Nathan took the box. Brooke held out her shaking hand…she took some ash. She held it up to her mouth. Then she whispered the words…
"I love you…."
And with that, she threw the ash on his coffin…Once the priest had finished, the guests began to head back, to leave Brooke to say her last goodbye…Nathan was still at her side…It was just them two…
"Are you ok??…"
Brooke just shook her head…then she placed one hand up to her mouth…
"Nathan….y-you have been great…b-but, I really n-need to say g-goodbye alone…"
"Are you sure…"
Brooke just nodded her head…Nathan kissed her forehead and began to walk away…She whispered…
"Nathan…"
He turned around…
"Thank you…"
Nathan let out a small smile, before he began to walk towards Lucas and Peyton…He had noticed that Lucas was on the phone and by the looks of things it was pretty urgent…Peyton had a look of desperation and concern on her face…Nathan's initial thought was, that there was something wrong with Haley…He ran towards the duo and stopped almost immediately as he reached them…
"What is it??…Is everything ok??…"
Peyton just looked up at him…
"What??…"
It was the that Lucas shut his phone down…
"What is it Luke??…"
"Nathan…it's Haley…"
Lucas and Nathan began running towards Lucas' car ready to get in to drive to the hospital…Peyton wasn't far behind Lucas and Nathan…
"Listen…I have a copy of Haley's previous medical history and her birth certificate at the studio…"
Lucas was quick to answer…After all he knew what they needed to do, as he was the one who spoke to the doctor…
"Ok…you get a copy of that stuff…and we will see you there as soon as possible…"
And with that, the trio left…Back in the gardens, was Brooke…She had no idea, what had just happened with Haley and everyone else…Out of nowhere, Brooke broke down…She was still crying floods of tears. She crouched down at the side of Julian's grave…
"I-I never thought I'd have to do anything like this…but, I guess it goes to show…you cant dictate your life…y-you don't know how much I miss you already Julian…and…and I know that its only gonna get harder…I-I cant do this without you…I never imagined that the best day of my life, would turn out to be the worst…I-I will always love you Julian…and I-I will keep my promises…but,….I cant think of what to say…apart from I love you….s-so so much…"
Brooke had tears flowing down her face…she opened her clutch and took out the photograph of him and her…
"Look…this was when we first met…s-such a long time ago…we were happy young and in love…"
Brooke shut her eyes and kissed the photo…then she tossed it into the pit, which it then landed on his coffin…She then took a copy of her baby scan…
"Julian…t-this is out l-little b-baby…he is going to be amazing…h-he really is…a-and I-I promise you to take c-care…of him no matter what…"
Yet again, she kissed the scan and tossed it onto his coffin…then she took his wedding ring. She kissed it and threw it in…Brooke then finally tossed in a single red rose, as a sign of her love…She had no idea, that Sam, was watching her from a distance…But, it was minutes later, that Brooke was approached by two men…
"Brooke Davis??…"
Brooke wiped her tears and stood up. She turned around, only two be greeted by two police officers…
"Yes…"
"We believe you are the wife of Julian Baker…"
"That's correct…"
"We have made progress…we have a possible suspect to the driver of the vehicle in which was involved in the hit and run of your husband…"
Meanwhile, Peyton had just arrived at the studio…She had struggled to get the key in the door at first, because she was in such a rush…But, when she finally made it into the studio, she rapidly walked over to the desk…She didn't want to run, as she was pregnant, but because of the severity of the situation, she had to be quick…As she reached the desk, she kept rubbing the side of her stomach, as the babies were kicking pretty hard…They tended to kick all of the time these days…Peyton soon sat down at her desk, and began to look through Haley's files…Peyton soon found a piece of paper that may have been relevant…She picked up her mobile phone, and began to dial Lucas' his number…But, all of a sudden she stopped…She had one hand leant on the desk and the other on her stomach, as she crouched over for a second…
"Owww…."
She rubbed her stomach…
"Steady on in there…alright??…"
And then she began to walk around her desk again…She smiled…But…then she felt another glitch of pain…She gasped…And yet again, he crippled over in pain…she dropped the papers and her cell phone on the floor…As it hit the floor…it smashed…Peyton was clutching her stomach in both hands…She looked down at the floor…
"Oh no…oh no…y-you cant…n-not now…no"
As she looked down again, she stood in a puddle of water…And then she crippled over in pain…She laid on the floor in agony, calling out Lucas' name…
A/N - A very important chapter…I wasn't sure what to put in, so I thought that I would write Julian's funeral in this one…Things still not looking so bright for Haley…and it looks like Lucas and Peyton are in for a shock in the next chapter…Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed reading the latest update and I hope you can leave me a review…they are very much appreciated…Thank you
