Author's Note: Thank you all for all the reviews! I'm glad you love my story! Keep it coming!
A few minutes later, everyone came back. They all looked tired. And they were. But they wouldn't leave because they would feel guilty. Nathan didn't care if the left or not. It wasn't like they wouldn't come back to visit.
"You guys can go if you want," Nathan said. They looked surprised.
"Um Nathan, we were gonna stay here until you left," Peyton said.
"It's okay. I'm gonna be staying here long. Just go. It's fine. I'll see you guys tomorrow," Nathan said. They gave in.
"Okay. Well um, we'll see you tomorrow I guess," Jake said. They all gave Nathan a hug goodbye and turned to leave but then saw that Brooke was sitting down, not getting up to leave with them.
"Hey Brooke, you coming?" Lucas asked.
"Guys, I think I'm gonna stay here, too. You all can go," Brooke smiled.
"Um, I'll stay then," Lucas suggested. But Brooke insisted.
"No, you can go. I'll see you tomorrow," Brooke said.
"Okay," Lucas said, "Bye." Lucas gave Brooke a kiss goodbye and they all left.
"You don't have to keep me company, you know," Nathan said.
"I know and that's not the reason I'm staying. She means just as much to me as she does to you, too," Brooke said, turning to look at Nathan. Nathan looked at her then looked back at Haley.
Around two hours later, Brooke woke up and found that Nathan was still sleeping on the other side of the bed, next to Haley. Brooke smiled at the sight. Then she looked at Haley, wanting to talk to her. She moved her chair a bit closer and held Haley's hand. She began talking quietly to her.
"Hey Haley," Brooke started. But no answer. Her eyes started to become watery.
"It's been lonely without you around with me. Haley, please open your eyes. We need you. I need you. Nathan needs you. You remember the time when we went to the park with James and Kayla? We made a promise that we'd never do anything without each other. Well, guess what? I really need you right now and I really can't do anything without you. I really need you Haley. Please don't go. Just wake up. I know you can do it." Brooke had tears coming down by now. Brooke gave Haley a kiss on the forehead and left the room to wash her face in the bathroom…
Not knowing that Nathan was awake the whole time.
