Summary: Brooke is sick, and no one knows.

She tried to look around herself, but found that it wasn't that easy.

She tried to open her eyes, but they were so heavy, that she failed at this as well.

"Hey Brooke" She heard distantly

"I know you can hear me, but this just feels so weird"

She knew that voice, but she hadn't heard it for so long.

"I've missed you so much Brooke, you have no idea. I would have come to visit you sooner, but I was just so scared that you wouldn't ever forgive me.

Please wake up, because I can't bear the thought of you dying without knowing how much I love you."

Dying? Thought Brooke... is that what I'm doing here?

"Mum and Dad would have come, but they... Uh... they are on a cruise in the Caribbean. They do love you though, I'm sure they love you Brookie"

Kate. Thought brooke. It's Kate.

And she's here. I have to wake up; I have to tell her that I'm okay.

So with all the strength that she had left inside her, Brooke left the world of dream, and emerged into the world where her sister sat crying hysterically.

She opened her eye lids, and for a few seconds, the world was all a blur.

Then her vision cleared, and she saw a 25 Year old woman sitting there looking utterly shocked.

"Katy?" whispered a weak brooke

"I'm here Brookie honey, I'm here. Do you want me to call the doctors?"

"No"

"Are you okay?"

"No"

"Um...... do you want me to call anyone to tell them you're okay?"

Lucas flashed through Brookes mind, but she quickly pushed all thoughts aside. She couldn't think about him. Not now, not ever

"No thanks."

"Okay then.... Are you feeling all right?"

"No"

"I'm getting a doctor" Kate said firmly before exiting the room.

Brooke sighed, and then shut her eyes. Its funny how when you shut your eyes, you can hear everything so much more clearly. She could hear a song off in the distance.

And she thought of Lucas Scott.

She thought of how he had looked at her. Really looked at her, and seen the real person. He had given her love, and in return she loved him. But such love didn't last.

He had chosen her best friend over her. And now while Lucas was off all happy,

Brooke was stuck here in hospital, with her heart utterly broken.

And nothing could save her.

I've been waiting all day here for you babe

So won't you come sit and talk to me

And tell me how we're gonna be together always

I hope you know that when it's late at night

I hold on to my pillow tight

And think of how you promised me forever

(I never thought that anyone) Could make me feel this way

(Now that you're here boy all I want) Is just a chance to say

Get out (leave) right now

It's the end of you and me

It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone

'Cause I know, about her (who)

And I wonder (why)

How I bought all the lies

You said that you would treat me right

But you was just a waste of time (waste of time)

Tell me why you're looking so confused

When I'm the one who didn't know the truth

How could you ever be so cold?

To go behind my back and call my friend

Boy you must've gone and bumped your head

Because you left her number on your phone

(So now after all is said and done)

Maybe I'm the one to blame, but

(To think that you could be the one)

Well it didn't work out that way

I wanted you right here with me

But I have no choice, you've gotta leave

Because my heart is breaking

With every word I'm saying

Boy, I gave up everything I had

On something that just wouldn't last

But I refuse to cry

No tears will fall from these eyes (ohh, ohh)

Get out!

Three days later....

Brooke sat up in the hospital bed as Doctor Mackenzie entered the cold white room.

"Good morning Brooke" he said "how are you feeling today?"

"Like Shit" she replied in all honesty.

He chuckled, and then put on a serious face.

"Brooke, your blood tests and X-Rays have come back, and I'm afraid that it doesn't look good. You seem to have a heart defect that is causing your heart to beat at least three times as fast as the average heart. This is causing your blood to pump too fast, and numerous other problems. We'll need to have a consultation with you and your parents so that we can discuss possible solutions"

I don't hear anything but 'you have a heart defect'. I know I have a heart defect, it broken that's what's wrong. But somehow I don't think that this is the same type of defect that the doctor is talking about

Kate's voice breaks me out of my daze...

"Our parents are currently In the Caribbean. And will be until the and on next month"

"And beside, they're Jackasses" I add in.

"Well, that may be the issue, but I still need to talk to them, so Miss Davis" he says gently, looking at Kate, "If I could get a contact number for them, that would be greatly appreciated"

"I guess so" she replies, and then she leaves the room without a backward glance.

Dr. Mackenzie turns to look at me and smiles encouragingly. "We'll get through this Brooke, I promise" then he leaves

His promise doesn't make me feel any better. After all, I've been brought up into a world of empty promises.

END OF CHAPTER
