Chapter 10
Lucas was nervous as Brooke drove him to the hospital. He knew that he would be fine, but it still freaked him out that the doctors were going to be cutting into his heart. He could see Brooke was nervous too.
Brooke was trying to act cool and supportive, but inside she was a nervous wreck. What if he didn't make it out alive? What if something happened? What if they cut some kind of nerve and he became paralyzed? She was freaking out.
They rode in silence to the hospital. When they got there, the nurse had a wheelchair all ready to take him into the surgery room. Lucas and Brooke got out of the car.
"Broody?" Brooke walked over to him and held his hands, " I just want to let you know that whatever happens I will ALWAYS love you, and I will always be there for you. You'll be fine though, and I'll be at your side when you wake up." She hugged him and put her head on his chest. She always felt so safe when she did that.
Lucas closed his eyes and rested his head on hers. "Brooke, I love you too, but I'll be fine, please don't worry." Brooke kissed him.
"You should go baby. I love you." Brooke said, she knew that if she stayed like this much longer, she would start to cry.
"Ok, I love you." Lucas said. He kissed her one more time before he walked over to the nurse. Brooke could already feel the tears welling up in her eyes. "Bye babe," she whispered.
She walked upstairs to the waiting room. Lucas would be out in three hours. She had to do something until then. She took her bag and grabbed Lucas's as well. She called Karen and got her voicemail. Hello, you have reached Karen Roe, I'm unavailable at the moment, but please leave your name and number and I'll be back to you as soon as possible. Beeep. How boring, Brooke thought. Brooke's voicemail had Jimmy Eat World playing and then she said Hey! You've reached Brooke's cell! You're lucky you have this number, it's like a privilege. Anyhow, I'm probably busy if ya know what I mean, but leave a message, I'll get back to you later! Hahaha! Bye! And then it played more Jimmy Eat World. She loved it.
"Hey Karen, it's Brooke, just calling to let you know you SON is in surgery, I'll call you back when he's out." Brooke said, trying to sound like a bitch, she couldn't believe Karen wasn't flying back, but she said there was no point because Lucas would be fine.
Brooke walked to the cafeteria. She looked at all the crap food. It made her feel sick. She bought a Diet Pepsi and a bag of chips from the vending machine. She went back to the waiting room, two and a half hours left. She sat down in the chair, and then changed her mind and lay down across three. She was tired, and decided to just rest.
"Excuse me, miss, are you Miss Davis?" Brooke woke up to find a little blond nurse leaning over her. "Uh, yea..yea, I am, is Lucas ok?" Brooke asked nervously.
"Yes, Mr. Scott is fine, he is out of surgery, but still asleep. I just thought I'd let you know that he is ok, he's in room number 423. Everything went fine and he should be up in a few hours." The nurse said.
"Ok, thank you very much." Brooke smiled. She got up and walked to the stairs. She walked up the stairs and slowly walked down the hall. Hospitals made her nervous. She got to number 423 and looked inside. Lucas was lying on the bed. He looked so small and weak. She felt the tears coming and went inside. She took his hand and sat down on his bed. She tried to be quiet so he could sleep. Brooke put her head on his chest and starting crying. She was so relieved, but at the same time, so scared. What if something did happen to him? She couldn't live without him. Suddenly, the tears started coming. She cried into Lucas's chest, still trying to be quiet.
Lucas woke up and saw Brooke laying on his chest, crying. He put his hand on her head and she looked up. He kissed her. "Hey baby." He said. He smiled. Brooke smiled back.
"Hey Broody." She said and put her head back on his chest. He scooted over on the bed and she laid down next to him. She snuggled up and was amazed how easily he was able to make her feel better.
