Brooke had groggily rolled out of the bed Monday morning. She had a test in Physics and was in no shape to go to school. She knew her sister was going to sleep in and didn't want to wake her.
She had to go to school because if she didn't take the test there was no way she would get the grade she wanted for the finals. She dragged herself out of the bed and tried her best to make herself look presentable.
As she was going down the steps the doorbell rang.
"Lucas," She smiled to herself and opened the door. "Hey!" She yelled, "Peyton"
"Brooke, I wanted to talk to you." Peyton bit her lip.
"Ow," Brooke clutched her head.
"Are you okay?" Peyton moved towards her.
"I'm fine." Brooke leaned onto the door. "Why are you here?"
"I missed my best friend." Peyton looked her in the eye.
"You only lost her when you stole her boyfriend." Brooke said crossly.
"It was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life."
"Good you know." Brooke said monotonously. "Because I sure as hell hope that this isn't the biggest mistake in my life."
"What?" Peyton asked.
"This." Brooke put her arms around her friend.
"So we're friends?" Peyton asked.
"I guess." Brooke tried to smile but her head was pounding.
"Brooke, are you okay?" Peyton looked at her with concern.
"I'm fine, but I don't think I'll be able to drive to school. Can you give me a ride?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah? What's wrong." Peyton motioned.
Brooke paused for a moment. "There's nothing wrong."
"Are you sure." Peyton asked.
"Yeah." Brooke tried to put out her best smile.
"Okay," Peyton wasn't convinced though.
Brooke rushed to the bathroom as soon as Peyton dropped her off at school, Peyton said she had to go drop off something for publishing. Brooke was ready to puke at any moment.
"Brooke?" She heard Haley.
"Hales." She began to cry. She was so tired, her head was pounding and she was feeling really sick.
"Brooke, can you come out?" Haley asked Brooke opened the stall she was in. Haley found her sitting down looking ghostly white. "Oh god, Brooke." She sat next to her friend.
"Morning sickness much?" Nikki appeared offering Brooke a breath mint.
"I just didn't get to sleep well." Brooke said.
"When were you due for yours?" She crossed her arms.
"I have my period as we speak." Brooke sighed turning back to the toilet only to barf again.
"I'll take you home." Haley rubbed her back.
"We have a Physics exam." Brooke grumbled. It was all she could think about.
"We'll retake it together." Haley attempted to fix Brooke's hair.
"Nikki, can you find Ms. Smith (school nurse) and get her here?" Haley asked.
"Yeah." Nikki nodded.
"Brooke, what is happening?" Haley looked at her seriously.
"This isn't supposed to be happening." Brooke ran her hands through her hair and began to cry. "Haley... I can't even stand."
"Brooke?" Lucas' frantic voice came from outside. "Brooke are you in here? I'm coming in."
"Please, don't say anything." Brooke looked at Haley with pleading eyes.
"Lucas, you don't have to." Haley said but Lucas had already opened the door.
"What's wrong?" He knelt down. Brooke looked as pale as ever.
"I'm okay." She sniffled.
"No you're not." He said.
"Well duh, she's sick." Haley said backing away from her allowing Lucas to take her spot.
"How come you knew I was here?" Brooke managed to ask.
"Nikki." He and Haley said at the same time.
"Ms. Davis?" The school nurse entered the scene followed by Nikki. "Mr. Scott, the last time I checked this was a girl's bathroom. But since you are here you might as well help, you think you can pick her up. Nikki, Haley I think you two should go to class now."
"I'll retake the test with you." Haley promised.
Without another word Lucas picked her up. Brooke put her arms around him. She felt limp and cold in his arms and it was scaring him.
"I'm just so tired." Brooke whimpered as they walked through the crowded hallway. People were looking and trying to see what had happened to her.
"Shh," Lucas shushed her and made his way through the crowd. She flinched when the bell rang and finally they were at the clinic.
"Thank you, Mr. Scott." Ms. Smith smiled at him. "You can go back to class now."
"Can he please stay?" Brooke asked softly. She was lying down on the bed of the clinic.
"I suppose so." She sighed and took out her thermometer. "Ms. Davis, have you been eating right?"
"Yes, ma'am." Brooke replied.
"I'd like you to go to the hospital to run a few tests." She pulled out her pad.
"It's okay," Brooke said instantly. "I just had a check-up and the doctor said my weight loss was due to stress."
"I'm going to ask Mr. Scott to take you for a bite to eat and then straight home." She knew Brooke had no one at home. "I will inform your teachers that you are excused for the rest of the day. Relax here for just a moment and I'll go prepare your passes."
"Hey," Lucas played with her hair. "You want to go down to the café?"
"I'd like to go home." Brooke said.
"Are you okay?" Lucas asked there was something in his eyes that Brooke had never seen before. It was almost as if he was helpless.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked.
"I'm just worried that's all."
"Worried about what? It's probably just the inside flu or something." She coughed.
"So I take that Miss Davis will be in your hands for the rest of the day." She handed Lucas the passes.
"Yes." Lucas nodded. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." Brooke sat up only to feel her head spin again.
When they got to Brooke's house they found Sydney watching TV.
"What's wrong?" Sydney asked.
"Just a little sick." Brooke smiled at her baby sister. She was clutching on to Lucas' arm for support. "Me and Lucas will be upstairs in my room."
"Okay," Sydney smiled. "Just don't make me catch you two doing anything silly."
"Thanks." Lucas laughed and helped Brooke up the stairs.
The day passed and Lucas had fallen asleep with Brooke in his arms.
Lucas had awakened to the sound of clattering. He shot up and realized that he was still in Brooke's room. He turned to her side of the bed to see that she wasn't there. He sat up only to find all the stuff on her desk sprawled on the floor and amongst it she lay there, almost lifeless.
"Brooke?" Lucas ran to her side. He shook her gently but she didn't respond.
"What fell?" Sydney burst through the door. "Oh my god, Lucas, what happened?"
"I woke up and she was here." He said frantically. "Call, call 911!"
"Okay," Sydney looked scared. She ran to the telephone and dialed the number.
"Hurry!" Lucas had Brooke's head on his lap.
"Hello?" Sydney was now crying. "My sister... I... I need an ambulance... please..."
