"So, take me wherever you want," said Haley.
"Okay, I'll take you to this place that only me and Nathan know about. We found it when we were six. I will explain when we get there." said Lucas.
"Alright." said Haley.
Lucas drove to the place where he and Nathan first met. It was a beach. It had palm trees and was very beautiful.
"Here we are," said Lucas.
"Wow,it's beautiful, now explain." said Haley.
"Well, me and my mom had this huge fight and I would always go to this place when I needed to think. That year I found it. Well, I saw someone else there. I didn't know it was Nathan because I didn't know Nathan. So we talked and played basketball. So we were walking home and Dan saw us, freaked out on Nathan, and told him not to hang out with me. That was the day we became enemies." said Lucas.
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Haley asked. Lucas looked sick.
"Yeah," Lucas said, but he passed out.
She called the first person she thought of. Nathan. Haley dialed his number. He answered,"Hello."
"Nathan, Lucas passed out and he feels hot. You and your dad need to get here. It is the place where you and he first met, okay?" Haley said, she was scared.
"Yeah, we'll be right there." said Nathan, and he hung up and screamed. "Dad, Lucas passed out, we need to go get him. I know where he is, I will drive okay?"
"Yeah, come on," said Dan.
Next Haley called Karen. She said,"Karen, it's Lucas, he passed out."
"Oh, I'll be right there, where are you?" asked Karen, worried about her son.
"Go to the hospital. You don't know where this place is. Only Nathan does, so he and Dan are coming to pick him up. Karen I gotta go, they're here." And with that, Haley hung up on a very confused Karen. 'Dan and Nathan picking up my son and taking him to the hospital. Oh, I don't have time to wonder about this now, I gotta go.' thought Karen.
Dan and Nathan came running toward Lucas and Haley.
"What happened?" Dan asked Haley, carrying Lucas to his car.
"I dunno, we were talking. He didn't look well so I asked him if he was okay. He said yes, and then directly right after passed out." said Haley.
"Okay, well get in the front with Nathan, and I will sit back here with Lucas." said Dan. "Wait, did you call Karen?"
They were all in the car at this point.
"Yeah, right after I called Nate." said Haley.
"Is she meeting us at the hospital?" asked Dan.
"Yeah." said Haley.
In a matter of minutes they were at the hospital.
"I need a doctor. It's my son. I need a doctor." screamed Dan, with Lucas limp in his arms.
"What happened?" asked the doctor.
"We don't know. He was with his girlfriend, they were talking, and then he passed out," said Dan.
"Get this child in ICU. Run all tests possible that could make him pass out. Now," she yelled.
Lucas was put on a stretcher and rushed to the intensive care unit.
"Is he gonna be okay?" asked Haley.
"We don't know. We have to run tests." said Doctor.
Karen ran over. Karen screamed,"What is wrong with my son? Is he alright? Did he wake up? Dan tell me what happened."
"I don't know. They have to run tests. He and Haley were on a date and he fainted. Nathan knew where this place was so Haley called us. I wanted to make sure my son was alright. And Karen, I am sorry for all the pain I caused you. For leaving and not acknowledging my son. I love him you know? Leaving you two was the worst mistake I have ever made in my life and... and... I wanna take it back." said Dan.
"But why did you come and not just Nathan. Lucas hates you." said Karen.
"Well, he and Nate are friends now and I wanted to get to know my son just like Nate was getting to know his brother. So we had dinner plans for tomorrow to talk. And... I just can't take it." said Dan.
"Oh, wow," said Karen.
3 HOURS LATER
"Well, Lucas has leukemia." said Doctor.
"What, no," said Dan.
"Are you positive?" asked Karen.
"Yes, but we caught it early so we can probably remove the tumor. He only has it in one area, so before it spreads we want to operate. One of you two need to sign the consent forms." said Doctor.
"I'll do it," said Dan.
"Thank you Dan," said Karen.
"Yeah," said Dan.
Haley and Nathan came over.
"What's wrong Karen, tell me, what is wrong with my brother?" screamed Nathan.
"Lucas, has leukemia, they are going to remove the tumor." said Karen.
Haley broke down.
AFTER THE SURGERY
"Lucas is in recovery. He still hasn't waken up, but when he does, he will have no signs of leukemia. It shouldn't come back. It has a 10% chance of coming back only. But we don't know when he'll wake up. He is allowed visitors. One at a time." said Doctor.
"Can I go, Karen?" asked Nathan.
"Yeah, yes you can Nathan." said Karen.
He went in and saw his brother lying there helpless.
"Hey Luke, we're all here for you ya know? Well, I love you. So does my dad, your mom, and Haley. You're gonna be okay. Be okay for all of us. We need you to help me on the basketball team. My dad and your mom are actually talking. I meant to tell you tomorrow. My dad and mom are getting a divorce. Wake up, I need you Luke." said Nathan.
"Hey," said Lucas.
"Hey, I am gonna go tell the doctor and everyone." said Nathan.
He ran out screaming,"He's awake."
"Really?" asked Karen.
"Yeah," said Nathan. He went to wake up Haley. "Haley... Hales, Lucas woke up."
"Are you serious?" asked Haley.
"Dan is seeing him right now, but when he comes out, you can go in." said Karen.
"Thank you." said Haley.
DAN AND LUCAS
"Lucas. You okay?" aske Dan.
"Not really." said Lucas.
"I love you son." said Dan.
"Back at you, Dan." said Lucas. He liked Dan. He thought that he just made a mistake.
"So, what kind of car do you want?" asked Dan.
"Uhh, the Mercedes Benz C-Class Sports Coupe Overview in silver." said Lucas.
"Consider it done. Consider it part of your 16th birthday. May 23 right?" said Dan.
"Yeah." said Luke. "How do you know?"
"Keith told me when you were born, the day you were born. I could never forget your birthday." said Dan.
"Oh, not that I don't like you Dan, but I'd really love to see my girlfriend, Haley, right now." said Lucas.
"Okay. I will send her in." said Dan.
Haley walked in.
"Come lay here with me," said Lucas.
"Okay." she said lying down. "So, I was so scared Lucas. I was afraid I lost you. I called Nathan and Dan right away. I love you so much. I couldn't live without you, you know that?"
"I would never leave you, Haley." said Lucas. He kissed her very passionately and put her on top of him. "I promise. I love you, too."
"Okay." said Haley. "Well, I heard Dan talking to your mom asking if he could take you on a trip with him and Nathan when you get out."
"Really, father and sons' vacation. I can't wait to get outta here and take you somewhere great." said Lucas.
"Well, I think you're getting out next friday." said Haley.
"A week?" asked Lucas.
"Yeah, and I talked to everyone and they said it was alright if I stayed with you." said Haley. "Nathan is staying, too."
"Wow, oh my god, did anyone call Peyton?" asked Lucas.
"No, I don't think so," said Haley.
"Can I borrow your cell phone?" asked Lucas.
"Yeah," said Haley, handing him the cell phone after she pushed speed dial number 3. "It's ringing."
"Thanks." he said.
Peyton picked up and said,"Hello?"
"Hey Peyton," said Lucas.
"Well don't you sound like crap," said Peyton.
"Yeah, I am in the hospital. I had a leukemia tumor. They took it out. I will be fine, but I am stuck here for a week." said Lucas.
"Are you okay, I will be right there." said Peyton.
"Okay." said Lucas.
Peyton was there soon, but Lucas and Haley were asleep. Haley was on top of Lucas. It really was a cute scene.
"Hey, Nathan. Can I take a rain check on that date?" asked Peyton.
"Yeah, of course." said Nathan. "Aren't they so cute together?"
"Yeah they are," said Peyton.
"Me and Hales are staying here with him for this week. I'd ask you to stay with us, but they were skeptical about letting us in, sorry." said Nathan.
"It's all right," said Peyton.
"Cool, let's let them sleep and go to my house so I can pack. Maybe we can make out a little, too." said Nathan.
"Sounds good, what about Haley's stuff." asked Peyton.
"Oh, her parents are visiting later and they are bringing the stuff then. Would you beleive that my dad is getting Luke a Mercedes Benz C- Class Sports Coupe Overview. If you woulda told me that all of this woulda happened last week, I would've laughed in your face." said Nathan.
"Yeah, me too," said Peyton.
They went to Nathan's and accidentally fell asleep.
"Wake up, honey," said Deb. "You need to get to the hospital and take Peyton home. Okay?"
"Yeah," said Nathan. "I am gonna take Peyton. She hasn't talked to Lucas yet."
"Okay, your dad is staying at Karen's tonight. Said they needed to talk. Whatever. I love you honey. Goodbye." said Deb.
"Love you, too, Mom, bye." said Nathan.
AT THE HOSPITAL
"Hey sleepyheads, it's 8:00." said Karen. Her and Dan were standing over me and Haley.
"Oh, well, kay, umm, are they gonna bring up a cot for Nathan?" asked Lucas.
"Yeah, him and Haley," said Dan.
"No, Haley is staying right here with me. I need her right here." said Lucas.
"Alright." said Karen. Nathan and Peyton came in.
"Hey bro, how you feeling?" Nathan asked.
"Tired, me and Haley just woke up." said Lucas.
"Same here with me and Peyton," said Nathan.
There was a hospital bed brought in. "Extra bed." said the orderly.
"Thank you, boys, Peyton you can stay, and Haley we're gonna go okay?" asked Dan.
"Yeah, we'll be good." said Nathan.
Dan and Karen left. Nathan and Peyton fell right asleep in the extra bed, but Lucas and Haley were up making out. The nurse came in.
"Get some rest." the nurse said.
"We have been sleeping since 4:00, we'll be good." said Lucas.
"Okay," said the nurse. "But try to get some rest."
"Yeah." said Lucas. But as soon as the nurse left he and Haley resumed their makeout session, but it was Haley who pulled away.
"As much as I love making out with you, I think we should turn on the tv and get some rest." said Haley.
Lucas did as told; he always listened to Haley.
"Please," he put on the famous Scott Puppy Face that she has gotten from all the young Scotts.
"You know I can't say no to that face." said Haley, she gave in and they made out for another 45 min. but after that Haley stood her ground and made him go to bed and she just rested her head on his chest, and eventually fell asleep.
