-Peyton's Place-

Peyton was pacing her room trying to decide whether or not to call Jake and tell him what had happened. What the hell. Peyton thought to herself, I might as well call him. She picked up the phone and began to dial, reading the number he had given to her aloud to herself,

"Two, zero, four, four, eight, nine," she started, "three, seven, zero, three," she finished dialling the number and hit talk.

"Hello," an unfamiliar voice said into the receiver.

"Hi. Um is Jake there?" Peyton asked nervously.

"Yah, just a sec. Can I ask whose calling?" the woman questioned.

"It's Peyton," she responded.

"Ok, just a minute."

"Hello," Peyton heard Jake's familiar voice on the other line.

"Hey Jake its Peyton,"

"Hey, oh my god, how are you?" Jake said sounding surprised.

"I'm good. How are you and Jenny?"

"I'm ok, workin' lots. Jenny is heaven. She has tons of little cousins who love her to death," Jake said with a small laugh, "What's up though? I haven't heard from you in a while." Jake asked.

"Well," Peyton started, "something happened," she said regrouping herself. "There was a story today on the news about this girl who was killed in a car wreck on a highway outside of Seattle," Peyton paused, "The girl was Nikki." Peyton finished waiting for Jake's reaction.

"Oh my god!" Jake said, obviously shocked by the news.

"Yah," Peyton said, "I don't know if I should of told you but I thought if it was me I'd want to know..." Peyton stopped herself from rambling on.

"No, no... It's good that you told me," Jake responded his voice still showing shock.

"Ok," Peyton said.

"I think I should probably come home then," Jake started, "my parents have been bugging me about leaving and now Nikki's not a threat..."he stopped himself, "is that totally horrible?" Jake asked.

"No of course not," Peyton assured him. "Are you really gunna come home though cause that would be awesome. I've missed you two like crazy," Peyton continued.

"Yah," Jake said beginning to sound happier, "yah, I think I will."

- Hospital-

"Mrs. Scott," the doctor started, "I'm very sorry to inform you of this, but based on the tests and observations, there is a very slim chance that your husband will recover from his heart attack." The doctor finished while leading Deb towards Dan's room, "he had a severe heart attack and is now in a coma the likely hood of him waking up is very slim," the doctor informed her opening the door and motioning for her to enter. By this point Deb was not sure how to react she did care about Dan in some way and she knew deep down in the deepest parts of him, he cared about her too. "I'm sorry to tell you all this and run," the doctor continued, "but I really must attend to other patients now. If you have any questions concerning your husband please fell free to find me or ask one of the nurses." The doctor said exiting the room quietly. Deb slowly made her way over to the bed that Dan was lying lifelessly in, sat down next to the bed and took Dan's hand in hers.

"Please wake up," she said quietly to herself.

-Brooke's House-

"Hello," Brooke heard the familiar voice on the other line, and thought to herself oh god here it goes.

"Hey, Luke. It's Brooke." Brooke said tentatively into the mouthpiece.

"Oh, hey Brooke," Lukas said, somewhat shocked to be hearing from Brooke.

"Hey there's something that I really need to talk to you about." Brooke said, beginning to get nervous.

"Ok?" Lucas said starting to be concerned. "What is it?" He asked.

"Um... well," Brooke started, "Do you remember last semester when we were together," Brooke stopped herself.

"Uhh, yah," Lucas said somewhat confused.

"Well I wasn't completely honest with you."
