Chapter 6

Lucas was laying on the hospital bed when he woke up. He saw Brooke outside, pacing while she talked to the doctor. He was terrified of what the news was about his shoulder, he couldn't live without basketball. After the doctor left, he watched Brooke get on her cell phone, and then she looked inside. She saw Lucas was awake, and stormed in.

"Lucas, what the hell were you thinking? Why didn't you tell me about your HCM? Luke, you lied to me! You said you didn't have it, and then you go out and play basketball? What kind of idiot are you? Do you want to die? Because I don't want you to. Lucas, I never want to lose you."

"Brooke, come here." Lucas said, he was upset that the doctor told her about his heart condition, but he was glad she knew. "Brooke, you will NEVER, NEVER lose me. Look at me, I will forever be here for you, ok? I didn't tell you about my HCM because I didn't want you to worry, and because there is a way they can fix it. I just don't have the money for the surgery, but I am earning it. Baby, I will be fine in no time, and I didn't want to worry you over nothing."

"Lucas, I want you to always tell me everything! I don't want you to worry whether or not I'll be able to handle it, because I will. I want you to trust me, and I want to know everything about you! If this is going to work, we have to tell each other everything." She said.

" I will, and I will always tell you everything about me from now on." Luke smiled and kissed her.

" How much is the surgery?" Brooke asked.

" Its $25,000. But I have saved up $10,000." Lucas said.

" I'll pay for it, you can spend the $10,000 on me later!" She laughed.

"Brooke, in case you don't remember, you're poor, and don't worry, I can get the other $15,000 quickly."

"No Lucas, I'm not poor, my family is. My grandmother always hated the way my parents raised me, and in her will, she left me $30,000 and her mansion. I'm going to pay for your surgery."

"Brooke.." Lucas started.

"Lucas, stop, I don't want you to argue with me. I would do anything for your health, and I am going to pay for your surgery. Now don't talk, kiss." She laughed.

Lucas kissed her, promising himself that he would talk to her about it later. For now, he was glad she was with him, and was glad she was kissing him.
