Episode 11 Chapter 2 Till Death Do Us Part

Charlie and Chloe are still in Savannah's bedroom. "We used to get in so much trouble together."

Chloe smiled.

"It was mostly my doing, but Savannah has a wild streak."

"You should go to the hospital Charlie."

"I don't want to see her like that. I don't want to remember her that way."

Chloe shook her head. "You don't know that she is going to die. None of us can be sure of that."

Charlie didn't say anything.

"We could pray together. You could ask God for strength…And then maybe you could read the letter. I'm sure Savannah wouldn't mind."

Charlie nods and bows his head.

Chloe takes his hands in hers. "Dear God," she takes a deep breath. "I know that I don't come to you near enough, but I am coming to you today. Savannah needs you right now. She needs you to hold her hand on this journey. I believe in you God. I trust in you, and I know if it is your will Savannah will survive, but if not I know that she will be right by your side, and she will make a great angel. She definitely has been in angel Charlie's life." Chloe takes another breath. "And God I ask you to be with Charlie and his family as they are going through this heartache. Hold his hand as he goes through this. Show him that he is strong enough to get through anything, and that you will be with him no matter what. And thank you God for placing Charlie in my life. He means so much to me, and I am so lucky to have him. In your name we pray amen."

Charlie has tears in his eyes. "I couldn't do this without you." He kisses her forehead.

…..

Lily is still sitting in the waiting room.

Summer and Jenny walk in with bags full of food.

"What is all of this?"

"We didn't know what to do, so we just bought everything we could think of." Jenny laughed.

"We didn't think that Lucas and Peyton were eating. And this hospital food sucks."

Lily smiled. She had the best friends in the world. "You guys are the best." She hugs them.

Summer notices her ring. "Wait a minute. Is there something you haven't told us yet?"

Lily smiled and waved her ring finger. "I'm getting married."

"Oh my God." Jenny hugged her. "I'm so excited for you."

"This is amazing. We have another wedding to plan." Summer smiled.

They all sat down. "You guys are going to be the sexiest married couple ever."

"I'm excited. I can't believe I was able to find love again. It is a wonderful feeling."

Summer smiled and touched Lily's hand. "I know. It is amazing. I never thought God would bring Jamie in my life, but he did, and he is such a wonderful husband, father, and man. I could not I have asked for more."

Chase is watching his wife. She was more beautiful than ever. He could still remember her on the day they got married. He still could remember exactly how he felt when he kissed her.

He wanted more time with her. He wanted her to know how much he loved her. He would never stop loving her.

Chandler walks in. "Hey," he walks over to Jenny and hugs her.

"Hey," she kissed his cheek.

Summer and Lily both smiled.

"Hey Summer," he gave her a hug.

"You know you guys have to come over for dinner soon."

Chandler looks at Jenny.

"We definitely will."

"I would love to hear more about my brother."

"I would love to tell you everything about him. He was an amazing man."

Chandler smiled. He really wished that he would have been able to meet his brother.

Chase couldn't believe that he had a twin brother he would never know, but he couldn't blame his mom for keeping it from him.

Jamie walks in with Landon.

"Jamie, what are you guys doing here?" Summer smiled as Landon ran into his arms.

"I told him I was coming to see you, and he had a fit. He wouldn't stay with the sitter."

"Landon," Summer picked up her little boy.

"I miss you mommy."

He was definitely a mama's boy.

Jamie kissed her lips gently. "I just couldn't say no that sweet little face."

Chase looked at Landon. He was such a beautiful little boy, with a smile that could take your breath away. He needed to talk to Summer. He needed to make sure that she made things right. The truth needed to be told.

….

Lucas and Peyton are standing outside of Savannah's hospital room.

"At least she is going to get a kidney."

"I did to get some fresh air," Peyton kissed his cheek.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No I'm okay….You stay with Savannah." Peyton walks off.

Lucas sits down on the floor.

"Hey," Riley looked down at his dad.

"Hey," Lucas patted the floor.

Riley sat down.

"Where's Mason? I would really like to see him."

"He's hanging out with a babysitter." Riley smiled. "I didn't really want him to be in a hospital. I guess it's the dad in me."

"You are good dad Riley."

"Yeah well I learned from the best. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you." Riley smiled. "You really are an amazing dad."

Lucas nodded. "Well you turned out to be a great son."

"How's Vanna?"

"She's going to get a kidney…Drake's kidney actually."

"Wow! That's huge. Do you think that she will be okay?"

"All I can do is pray…She's my little girl. We all need her."

"I know you are probably sick of hearing this, but Savannah is a fighter. She's going to be okay…She's a Scott and she can get through anything. I've learned that…this family is the strongest family that I know….And I am proud to be apart of it."

Lucas nodded. "Me too, son…Me too."

….

Drake is lying in his hospital bed. He is smiling.

"Are you okay?" his mom was by his side.

"I'm going to save my wife's life." Drake was happy. "She's going to be okay."

"Drake…"

"Mom, I know that she is going to be okay. We have the greatest love story, and I know that there is so much more of our story to be written."

Susan grabbed his hand and nodded. "The two of you have a love that I thought you could only see in movies."

Drake smiled. "I refuse to believe that we don't get our happy ending."

"Me too," Susan sighed. She was scared for her son. She didn't want his heart to break.

….

Peyton is standing outside of the hospital.

She takes a drink. She needed a release. She wanted all the pain to go away.

Keith and Karen are watching her.

"Karen I think we were sent here to help everyone not just Savannah." He pointed to Peyton. "She is falling apart."

"Lucas will help her."

"I have to make it all right Karen."

"Keith, we are here to help Savannah."

"I'm not leaving until we fix this."

Karen shook her head. "Keith, just do what you are told….Please."

She could tell by the look in his eyes that he wasn't going to listen to her. He never did.

Nathan is at Lucas and Peyton's. He was lying on the couch. He was in need of a nap.

"Nathan," Haley whispered in his ear. "I'm here."

"Haley," Nathan smiled. His eyes were still closed. Haley often came to him while he was sleeping.

"Yeah…It's me. I'm here."

"Haley…I miss you."

"I know honey. I miss you too." Haley smiled. "You are such a good father."

"The kids need you though."

"They have Brooke. She has done a brilliant job with them. I never imagined the two of you together, but now I can't imagine the two of you apart."

"Haley…"

"She was only trying to help. God had a plan for Millie and Brooke. Millie needed to know that she could trust Brooke, and now she knows that she can….You have to trust in God, and in Brooke." Haley smiled. "She is head over heels in love with you."

Nathan didn't say anything.

"She looks at you the way that I always looked at you."

"I'll never understand why you were taken from me."

"It was part of a greater plan. I want you to know that I love you Nathan. You made every moment for me special. I couldn't have asked for a better husband."

"Even when I fell short?"

"We all fall short sometimes…Just like Brooke…But with love…Love is about forgiveness, strength, and knowing when to say I'm sorry."

Nathan smiled. "Millie is just like you."

"I think she has a lot of you in her. She's kind of rebellious."

"Yeah…do you know when that is going to stop?" Nathan chuckled.

"I think she is learning. She has more to face, but she'll get through it because she has you and Brooke…And I'm always watching over you guys."

"I don't want you to go." He touched her hand. "This feels so real. It feels like so much more than a dream."

"Maybe this is our goodbye…We never did get a final goodbye."

"We will never have to say goodbye…You are always in my heart. I'll never stop loving you."

She leans in and kisses his cheek. "Always," she whispers.

"And forever," Nathan whispers as Haley disappears.

"Dad," Millie walks in. "Are you okay?"

Nathan jumps up.

"You look like you just saw a ghost."

"I think I did."

"What?"

"Nothing," he took a deep breath. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to check on you. Brooke said you seemed grumpy, but then again you have been nothing but grumpy to her lately."

"I know. I'm going to be better."

"You better be," Millie hit her shoulder. "She deserves the best. She is after all the only mother I have ever known."

"I'm sorry. I wish I could bring your mom back to you."

"I know…Sometimes I want that too…I would love to know her, but God put Brooke into our lives for a reason. She's a good mom. I wish I would have been nicer to her."

Nathan nodded. "Yeah…Me too."

Nathan hugged his daughter. "You know that everything is going to be okay. We're going to get through this."

"I hope so." Millie sighed.

"You're a good kid."

"Yeah well you're a good dad."

Nathan nodded.

Hunter and Jessica are in their apartment. "I can't believe we are moving soon." Hunter was packing up one of the many boxes.

"Yeah," Jessica nodded. She couldn't believe it either.

"I still have to tell my dad. I don't know how he is going to take it."

"I'm sure he'll be okay."

"Jess, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." But she wasn't. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to move to New York. It wasn't part of her dream, but Hunter was.

…..

Charlie opens his letter.

"I'm right here," Chloe whispered in his ear.

Dear Charlie,

Your letter was the hardest one to write. I'm pretty sure that I have wasted a whole tree on you, but hey I figured that you were worth it. The truth is we may never have met if life was perfect and plans didn't change. I for one am so glad that life isn't perfect and plans change. You might not be here, and I know that there would be something missing from my life. You weren't a mistake. You were an ultimate gift from God. You were my gift. I know that sounds weird, but I don't know what I would have done all those years without you. I think that everyone needs someone that they can turn to and trust in their life. You are my person.

I know that I can always confide in you my deepest fears. I've tried to put on a strong front ever since my diagnosis, but I have to admit that I am so scared. I never planned on this. I was supposed to live forever or at least what felt like forever. We have so many more things that we are supposed to do together. We have plans. I don't want those plans to be changed.

You are my very best friend. And if something happens to me I don't want you to be sad. I want you to celebrate the life that I was able to lead. I want you to remember all the happy times that we had together.

I'm going to keep being stronger for mom and dad and everyone else. I can do that because I know you are going to be by my side helping me through all of this. You are my rock and my strength. I love you so much Charlie. You are the best brother God could have ever given me. Don't get me wrong I love Keith, Riley, and Brody Bear too, but you are special. Like I said you are not only my brother but my best friend.

Remember if anything happens to me you are supposed to take care of Drake, and make sure that he moves on. I don't want him to forget me, but I want him to continue to live his life. You make sure if he decides to date that the girl is worthy of his love because he is pretty special. He deserves only the best.

And so do you by the way. I'm not really sure if Remy is the girl for you, but hey it is your life, and I am sure you will figure it out sooner or later. You'll find someone that makes you as happy as Drake makes me. I just hope you are smart enough not to let her go. Love is so worth the risk.

I love you Charlie Scott! I'll always be a part of your heart. You will probably never see this letter, but if you do then I hope you know that I'll always be watching over you, and I'll try to be the best guardian angel that I can be.

If you read this letter, and I survive I may have to kill you. I'm just kidding. I think everyone deserves to know how special they are. But you don't have to tell me that you read it. I'd like to think my innermost thoughts are all mine.

Love you forever,

Savannah Scott

Charlie wiped away his tears. "I've got to get to the hospital."

"Let's go," Chloe took his hand into hers.

…..

So I didn't really get a chance to correct this so I hope it is okay. Please let me know what you thought.

I am going to update tomorrow for sure.
