CHAPTER 5

"The Out Come"

He stood there in disbelief. His body became numb as he felt a single drop of rain glide against his forehead. He could feel the blood rushing through his veins, and the pain in his heart tearing at him. He tried to move, to blink to show any reaction but he couldn't his whole body was in complete shock. Brooke was dieing. It couldn't be true, he was dreaming, this was just a huge joke. Unfortunately he was sucked back into reality by a worried blonde who was now standing up beside him.

"Luke what's going on? Are you okay?" he said nothing and began walking at a fast pace towards his car.

"LUKE! STOP! Talk to me! What's going on?"

"I need to go…" was all he was able to say, he was still in complete shock

"Where!?"

"Tree hill"

"Okay fine! But im coming!"

"No you can't!"

"Why not! You're obviously in shock im not letting you go alone!" Lucas wasn't sure if bringing Anna was a great idea.

"I don't think you coming with me is the best idea, I really have to go Anna it's an emergency!"

"Just tell me what's going on then?"

"It's Brooke…" he could see her face fall, but at that moment he didn't care he needed to see Brooke.

"She was hit by a car…and she's in pretty bad shape….Anna im sorry but I have to go"

"Not without me your not" Luke became frustrated he didn't have time to argue with her he had to get to Tree hill.

"Fine get in the car" he whispered.

Peyton sat in the waiting room with her head in her hands, she tried the best she could to control her emotions but she couldn't and she didn't care! Her heart was still beating fast and she was in a state of shock. Brooke, crazy, sexy, outgoing, I'll kick your ass if you mess with me Brooke was lying in the hospital weak and helpless. "NO she not weak" Peyton reminded herself. "She's the strongest person I know and she will make it I know it…she just has to" Peyton was snapped from her thoughts by a frantic Haley.

"PEYTON! OMG IM SO SORRY"

"Haley im so scared" Haley grabbed her into a hug, letting her tears soak her shoulder. Peyton could feel a strong hand rubbing her back.

"Don't worry Peyton she's strong shell pull through" she realized it was Nathan.

"I pray your right" Right there they were interrupted by an old man, clutching some papers.

Luke searched deep in his pocket for his cell phone. He finally found it and dialed the new number. A sleepy Keith picked up.

"Hello..." he yawned

"Keith"

"Luke are you alright? Where are you? Its 3:15 am!"

"Im fine... and im on my was to Tree hill"

"WHAT? Why??!!!"

"Brooke was hit by a car… she's in critical condition" Lucas could here Keith breath in a long sigh.

"Keith man… I have to go, you gotta understand" he said a bit lower hoping Anna wouldn't here "she needs me right now… and I need to make sure she's alright"

"Alright Luke just call me when you get there, I hope she's okay son"

"Yah…me too" and with that he hung up.

They had now been driving for half an hour, if Lucas kept up the speed he was going at (without getting any tickets) he could be there in 20 minutes.

"Luke maybe you should slow down"

"Anna I need to get there as soon as possible"

"Can I ask you something…?"

Luke nodded... "Sure"

"Will this change things between us…" Luke could here her voice shaking, and he didn't want to lead her on.

"I really don't know Anna" and that was all that was said for the whole ride until they reached the hospital.

When they arrived Lucas parked in the first parking space he found and ran for the door, with Anna close behind me. He walked in, and jogged to the Front desk.

"Excuse me" he said a bit too loudly.

"Yes?" an obviously pissed off nurse looked at him.

"I need to know what room Brooke Davis is in?"

"Lets see…" she said as she turned to the computer and started typing away. Lucas began taping in finger in annoyance.

"Well she's still in emergency surgery but I think her family is on floor 3."

"Thank you" he yelled back as he jogged towards the elevator. Lucas had totally forgotten that Anna was with him until she came into view while he stood waiting for the elevator.

"Hey look Anna, thanks a lot for coming with me, u didn't have to."

"No I wanted to, I told you im here for you."

"Thanks"

The elevator door glided open; they waited for the passengers to get off. Right when they entered Lucas began franticly pressing the 3 button.

"You know no matter how many times you press it, it still goes the same speed" Anna said as she tried to lighten the mood.

"Yah but it makes me feel betta" he said without looking at her. They finally heard the "ding" sound telling them that they had made it to the 3rd floor. Lucas stepped out and began to look through the halls franticly. He felt a relief sensation when he saw a small head with crazy blonde curls, a small brunette, and a tall dark haired guy. He began to walk rapidly towards their direction.

"Peyton, Haley, Nathan" He called out. They all whipped around to find the tall blonde walking toward them

"Lucas" they all said at the same time. Haley and Peyton jumped into his arms, and began crying uncontrollably.

"How is she" he whispered.

"I don't know they wont tell me anything yet" Peyton sobbed into his chest, as well as Haley.

"Peyton how did this happen"

"Well I went to Brooke's house, after her date" right when she said that she wished she didn't she could see the pain in Lucas's eye. But she continued.

"And we got into a fight, and she yelled at me and burst out of the house. And then I was just sitting there and I heard a car honk and screech" she took a deep breath. Haley put her hands on her back to support her.

"I ran to the window to see what happened, and then I saw her in front of this huge car. So I ran downstairs and outside. And that's when is saw her" Peyton sobbed even harder.

"How bad was it?" Nathan new everyone wanted to know but couldn't ask.

"Oh god, it was horrible…there was blood everywhere, her whole body was scraped and her skin was tearing off. I felt like I was going to throw up. I ran over and I put her head in my hands, and I stared apologizing to her, and then her eyes fluttered open and she told me it was alight." Peyton then stopped and looked at Lucas "and she told me to tell you she forgives you and that she's sorry" Lucas hadn't noticed that he was crying until he felt the hot tears on his cheek. He then felt a small hand on his back. That's when everyone noticed the small brunette behind Lucas.

"Who are you?" Haley mumbled.

"Umm this is Anna..."

"His girlfriend" she interrupted. Peyton and Haley immediately stopped there sobs and looked from Lucas to this Anna girl.

"Girlfriend??" Nathan interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"As in your dating?"

"Yah unless there's another meaning for girlfriend" she said a bit annoyed that everyone was looking at her like she was an alien. Right then the doctor came in. Lucas was extremely happy he didn't feel like getting interrogated at the moment.

"Are you the family of Ms Davis?"

"No but were close friends." Lucas replied

"Oh well im sorry I can reveal any information to non family"

"Well that's just too bad!! I don't care about your stupid policy! Iv been here for 3 hours! And the only way im leaving is if you get security!!" Peyton yelled in his face! Nathan pulled her back, scared that she might pounce at any moment. The doctor looked at the tired and sad teenagers.

"Alright but I must let you know that I don't usually do this"

"Okay just tell us how she is"

"Okay well I have bad news and more bad news, and some good news"

"Good news" they all said together

"Alright well the good news is that the operation went smoothly, and she is now in recovery. She had a lot of work to be done, she has 4 broken ribs, a broken arm, a dislocated shoulder, a sprained ankle, major internal bleeding, and a concussion" they all sighed.

"But that's not it…." He looked at them afraid to tell them.

"Im sorry but…she lost the baby"
