Second Chapter!- This one is longer aren't you proud lol hope it's good!
When the sun came up, Lucas had always gotten up with it. He was just one of those people who could never understand how people could sleep until noon or even later. Brooke, who used to kick and scream if you ever woke her up before 10, thought just the opposite.
But this morning was different,when Lucas woke up Brooke was already downstairs dressed in a running outfit.
"Brooke are you ok –I've never seen you in anything other than over priced jeans or a skirt and you're wearing sweatpants? This isn't happening"
"Very Funny- For you information now that we are engaged we need to do more engaged couple things, running together in the a.m for example. But there is only one problem . ."
She points to her feet where flip flops peek out from under her sweatpants.
"You probably don't own a pair of sneakers do you"
"I threw away my cheerleading ones the day I graduated, fiancé"
"I'll see what I can do Brooke"
Lucas came back downstairs 5 minutes later with a pair of sneakers that looked like they were from the early 70's.
"Now I know what you going to say but these are about your size"
Brooke looks down disappointed, then laughs
"Damn here I was hoping that we could stop at lady foot locker so I could buy sneakers and that you would be too tired to run after that"
"You don't have to come Brooke, I don't even have to go "
"Yes I do, and yes you do- now hand those over"
It was hardly light outside when they stepped out the door. The whether on an April morning was usually predictable, a little cold but you know the temperature would rise by noon.
"I've never seen Tree Hill this early, it's quiet and you can't tell that every one of these houses are filled with screwed up drama filled families. It's almost peaceful for once. . ."
"It's my favorite time of day to com . . Brooke?"
Brooke had fallen to the ground beside him and was holding her wrist and you could tell she was trying not to cry. Lucas bent down next to her and had to try hard not to laugh at her face. He took her small wrist into his hands and noticed it has swelled to the size of a softball.
"Jesus Brooke what did you do to yourself."
Getting angry Brooke said through gritted teeth "I didn't think I would trip and fall on rock Lucas! I knew this was a horrible idea. Why did you let me come with you!"
"Brooke it was your idea I can't believe your blaming me for this"
"Whatever Lucas can we just go and get this fixed please"
"Yes cheery"
"Lucas?"
"Shut up will you "
Lucas carried Brooke home even though she was perfectly capable of walking home herself; it wasn't if she had broken her ankle. She refused to talk to Lucas even though it wasn't his fault. He put her in their car and they drove to the hospital, after stopping at Starbucks where Brooke insisted she got a tall cappuccino. When they walked into the E.R Lucas was shocked at how many people were there at 7 in the morning. At least 25 people were sitting in hard orange seats looking like they were going to kill one of the doctors if they didn't in there soon. Brooke walked right up to the desk, and when she turned around it looked like she had gotten slapped in the face.
She whispered under her breath "Bitch, Lucas the waiting time is 2 ½ hours!"
"I thought you weren't talking to me" He gave her a smug look.
She gave him a death glare and said, "Looks like your going to have to listen to me complain aren't you."
The only two seats together were next to a homeless man who was sleeping and a woman in a business suit with a little girl about the age of 4 who was screaming. As soon as the Lucas had sat down the little girl stopped screaming and came and sat on his lap,
Brooke laughed, "Looks like you got a friend Lucas, look how cute she is"
The Little girl said, "Hi I'm Lilly but I don't like the name Lilly so you can call me Kate."
Brooke replied, "Hi Kate I'm Brooke and this is my fiancé Lucas."
A bright smile came across her face, "Can I come to your wedding!"
Lucas laughed, "We don't even have a date set yet we only got engaged last night."
Sadly Kate looked up at Lucas "That's too bad I really wanted to come" She brightened up "You could have it on my birthday! That would be really cool!"
Brooke was amused by her, "When is your birthday?"
"July 31!"
"Brooke Davis-Scott?" A male nurse called out Brooke's name.
"Brooke we're not married yet" Lucas looked at Brooke.
"How do they know that?" Kate pondered
"Exactly Lucas"
"I guess you have to go now, and get that whist fixed now, I guess I'll leave you alone" She jumped off of Lucas's lap.
"Nice meeting you Kate," Brooke whispered, "and newsflash - Kate's a better name"
Kate giggled,"Thanks"
The male doctor brought Brooke and Lucas walked into a pale white room where a medical table sat. Lucas lifted Brooke up onto the table and the Doctor stated coldly that the Doctor would be in a few minutes.
"Great more waiting, guess we'll just have to have some fun won't we Lucas?"
"Brooke I'm not having sex in the Emergency Room, forget it."
"That is not what I was thinking! OK it was, but look at these huge gloves these doctors must have humongous. . ."
"Brooke don't even say it" Lucas laughed at her.
"Hello Miss Davis" A tall blonde female doctor whose tag said Dr. Ocean walked into the room.
Brooke blurted out, "Doctor Ocean? What kind of a name is that!"
"Trust me I get it a lot, my first name is Summer. It sounds like a boat's name- The Summer Ocean. Well you've definitely broken your wrist Miss Davis. We'll just take some x-ray's and put a cast on and you'll be all set ok." The doctor left to get the portable x-ray machine.
"I think we should come to the hospital more often Lucas. We've met some nice people."
Lucas didn't reply
"Lucas?"
"What? Oh sorry Brooke I can't help thinking how much that little girl Kate was so much like you"
"Yea her mom looked like she didn't care about her at all, just like someone we know" Brooke stated referring to her mom.
Dr. Ocean eventually came back and took Brooke's x-ray. She did have a broken wrist, and Dr. Ocean broke the news that she would have to keep a cast on it for 6 weeks. As she put on the cast Brooke became enraged.
"6 weeks! That's b.s! That's in vital wedding planning time! We only have 3 months until the wedding and we haven't started planning at all yet!" Brooke screamed at the doctor
"Brooke, honey, love of my life did you just happen to leave me out of the wedding date process or was I in a coma while you did it?" Lucas said alarmed.
"July 31st is our wedding date we both decided"
"No, Brooke a 4 year old girl told us we should have it on that day because it's her birthday!"
"Um excuse me guys I'm all done here" The doctor stated carefully hoping Brooke wouldn't notice that there was a very heavy otoscope behind her that she could easily throw at her.
Forgetting the doctor was there Brooke and Lucas turned and looked at her like she was an alien.
"I'm just going to step out for a second and sign papers for Brooke's discharge."
Brooke stared at her, and the doctor stared back "Well get going then!"
The Doctor ran out of the room like a puppy who had just been punished. A co-worker sees her face.
"Another crazy homeless guy Summer?"
"No another crazed girl planning a wedding"
"Ouch those are tough"
The doctor walked back into the room and laughed at the scene she saw. Brooke was trying to look at Lucas and Lucas was obviously trying to look at Brooke, but as soon as their gazes caught each other's eyes they looked away.
"Now listen you two I may be a doctor but I'm sure as hell not Dr. Phil. Personally I don't think he's any doctor but anyways you're engaged be a little bit more joyful will you. I've only known you for about an hour, but you two seem to have a lot together. If engaged couples can't have love what hope does that leave for the rest of us?"
Brooke looks at Lucas finally. Lucas looks right back.
"I'm sorry Broody" at the same time "I'm sorry Cheery"
Brooke went over and sat on Lucas's Lap.
Brooke looked up at the doctor, "Can we go home now?"
The Doctor puts up her hands in a sign of surrender.
"Yes you may, plus there are no intimacies in the Hospital" She smiles.
Lucas carried Brooke back to their car as she insisted again. As they drove home Lucas decided to talk to her about their wedding date.
"Brooke?"
"Yes?"
"Now I'm not mad at your or anything, but I just want to discuss this whole wedding date thing."
"I know I'm sorry I did that to you."
"It's not that big of a deal but I mean we're going to remember that date for the rest of our lives."
"Yea there's going to be a lot of sex on those days we've got to plan ahead for these types of things."
"That too" Lucas Laughs, "so how about tomorrow after we go to work we try and pick out the place."
"We already have a bedroom Lucas"
"No the place to have to wedding"
"Oh, right"
"That should be fun, but you'll have to turn the pages of the wedding book that I've had for years."
"You've been planning this wedding before we got engaged?"
"Since I was 5"
"Cheery you amuse me you know that?"
