Chapter 4

"Surprise"

Karen and Dan came early that morning, Lucas had his operation at 8, and there was no time to lose…

"Uhm… Dan would you mind waiting here, while talk to Lucas and tell him you are paying his operation?" Karen said.

"I'll wait here, until you tell me to go in" Dan answered.

"Thanks, Dan… for everything"

"It was time that I did something for this kid" He said.

Karen looked at him, not quite believing what she was hearing… she went inside the room and saw Lucas and Brooke sleeping together, she couldn't help it and smiled, she hated to wake her up, but there was nothing else to do, and Lucas had to be prepared for surgery…

"Brooke, sweetie" Karen said while she was trying to wake up Brooke

"Hmm?" Brooke said asleep.

"Honey, wake up" Karen said.

"What, what happened!" she said scared sitting on the bed .

"Nothing happen… I just think is time to get Lucas ready for his surgery".

"Oh, yeah.. We probably overslept… im sorry" Brooke said .

"It's ok" Karen laughed looking at Lucas who was still asleep "Morning sunshine" she said to Lucas as he opened slowly his eyes.

"Hey mom" he said softly.

Brooke just looked at him, how Karen took care and gave him some fresh water. She and Lucas crossed looks, and smiles. All they could think of now was that this nightmare would end in a couple of hours…

"Honey" Karen started to say to Lucas "there is someone outside that wants to see you" she ended .

"who?" he said .

"Dan's here, he helped me out, you know.. to pay for your surgery" .

"he did?" .

"yeah, listen im going to go look for him, ok?".

Lucas nodded, as Karen went outside…

Brooke turned around looking for her things, her purse and her jacket, she opened a bit the window, to let fresh air enter the room…

"How are you feeling today?" she said going near him and passing her hand through his forehead.

"Good, I guess" he said with a hoarse voice, he clear his throat and laughed "thanks for staying here last night".

"I wanted to" she said.

"Well, but… guess I'd never thank you for staying you know… when I had the car accident, I just pushed you away, and I'm sorry about that".

"Let's just… leave that on the past" Brooke said, she could not help but feel hurt when she remembered those days.

Dan and Karen entered the room. Brooke took her things.

"Hi Mr. Scott" Brooke said

"Hello Brooke" he said to her and then looking to Lucas lying in bed

"Uhm.. I think I'm going to go home and change my clothes or something… ok?" Brooke said to Karen, and then she looked at Lucas, who was talking to Dan and waved.

Mean while at Nathan and Haley's apartment…

They were at their bedroom, Haley had a magazine on her hands, but was not reading it, and Nathan was playing with his GBA and NBA game, he turned it off and saw Haley a little preoccupied "he's going to be fine, you heard the doctor" He told her.

"Yeah… I know that" she said after a minute

"Then what is it?"

"I was just thinking… if Brooke realized how much she loves Lucas" Haley said

"Really? You think she does? I mean… after what'd happened?"

"Yeah… that's just one stupid thing and is left in the past, I hope"

"Well… I hope they get together then" he said

"Yeah" she said turning aside to face him

He kissed her, and she kissed him back

"Hmm" she moaned "I've been missing this from you lately" she said

"Yeah... well, I've been busy" he said in between kisses "I had a surprise for you, but I guess it will have to wait"

"Really? No! What is it?" she complained, she wanted to know

"Mmm... nope, no way I'm telling you, if not it wouldn't be a surprise"

"Ok… but you ain't getting any of me tonight" she said in revenge

"Don't worry, I think I will survive"

"Trust me you wouldn't" she said kissing him

"I wouldn't… or you wouldn't?" he mocked

"Oh, shut up and kiss" Haley laughed, covering themselves with the sheets

Brooke went to Peyton's house, Jake and Jenny were gone for the day, Jake had to visit his parents, and Peyton stayed at home. The two girls went to Peyton's room, and Brooke leaned her head on Peyton's shoulder, while she draw….

"You know, one day you will be sick and tired of drawing…" Brooke said looking at the page… she was completely lost…

"Yeah.. well.. I don't see that day coming yet" Peyton answered "how's Lucas doing?" she asked for the eleventh time already…

"He was looking kind of weak this morning, but I guess it's for the medicine and all that, right?" Brooke said now facing her; tears were starting to fall from her face

"But he's going to be alright" Peyton supported her, as she always did

"Yeah, that's what the doctors said" Brooke repeated "But, what if he doesn't?" Brooke said after a while

"What? Brooke don't be so pessimist, of course he's going to make it!" She punch Brooke's arm playfully

"Of course, but there is always this little chance"

"Yeah, but as you said, it's a little tiny one" Peyton made it clear

"Thanks" Brooke said hugging her, but still crying

"Always… hey stop crying"

"Trust me I want to but… images of him lying in bed at hospitals keep crossing my mind, he looked so weak today" she cried even harder "If he doesn't make it Peyton, I don't know what I'm going to do"

"Remember what we said five minutes ago?" she said and Brooke nodded "ok, then let's try to think about something else… like the fact that I think you might be having some old feelings appearing again for a certain who?" Peyton joked so truly

"What? Who?" Brooke said in disbelief

"Right… you know what I'm talking about… Lucas…" Peyton explained

"No Peyt… don't go there because this feelings are just like friendship ones…" Brooke said

"Whatever…staying there the entire night, sleeping in the same room… getting as worried as you are getting" she said, that had definitely to be more than friendship feelings…

"So, what's your point?"

"You know it… Maybe you should go and tell him before the operation"

"I don't know… I don't want to tell him now"

"Alright… so at least you admit it" Peyton laughed

"What…? Yeah well, I guess there are some reborn feelings… but anyways is not like we could be together now… not only because I say so" Brooke said thinking that Lucas might not feel the same way

"Right… because I think he hates you…" Peyton answered back

"Really you think he does!"

"Come on Brooke!" Peyton said shouting to her, and Brooke laughed…..

It was almost mid-day , Lucas's operation must be over in a couple of hours more, up to now everything was great, none complications and no delays.

Karen stayed there the whole time, Dan had to go back to work and deal with some businesses. Karen was starting to see that Dan was changed, and for good finally.

Peyton and Brooke went also to the hospital and Nathan and Haley, too; they waited for the doctor's report. They came out and said everything was fine, and that the operation had come to an end, Lucas now was going to be left alone to rest. The doctor told Karen that he was not going to wake up today and maybe not tomorrow, because of the anaesthesia, but that didn't mean that there was something wrong, he was going to wake up whenever he wanted. He couldn't be bothered, only one familiar could be at the room with him, and Karen of course stayed, Dan would come visit sometimes, as Keith and Andy did. The rest of the guys came also. Brooke, as much as wanted to stay there with Karen, was sent home to rest too.
