Hello, I'm back. Wow it's been so long. I'm happy to update again. But I only got like four reviews the whole time which kind of made me sad. Thanks to all the people who did review though I would just love some more. Okay so I'll update pretty regularly now. This chapter isn't one of my best, but I had to put it in there to deal with the whole Brooke's father thing. Ok so enjoy it anyways. Review please…
Brooke woke up the next day feeling miserable. She didn't want to see anyone. Karen had decided to postpone their little talk about the night before because she knew Brooke was going through a hard time. Brooke put on jeans and a pink long sleeved top and got ready to go to school. Maybe she could fake sick; she couldn't stand to even think of how much school was going to suck. And cheer practice that would suck the most. And what if she missed the call from her parents, she couldn't miss the call that would possibly tell her whether or not her own father had died!
"Karen…" Brooke said walking out looking very gloomy
"Yes Brooke?"
"I fell like I'm gonna throw up."
"Oh, Brooke well do you wanna go sit by the toilet?"
"Umm no not really."
"Well I'd rather you throw up there then on my carpet Brooke, no offence."
"You're not making me feel any better."
"You might have food poisoning that's what Lucas has."
"What?"
"He's been throwing up all morning."
"Is he staying home today?"
"I would think so."
"Umm you know what I think I really can't miss school so I'll just take my chances."
Brooke said starting to turn around and walk away.
"Brooke? You don't feel sick do you?"
"Maybe not so much." Brooke said turning back around to face Karen.
"Faking sick? Bad move Brooke."
"I just can't face everyone at school. I don't want to cheer and I don't want to miss the call from my parents today."
"Brooke you have to face school. I know it seems hard and like the thing that you want to do the least, but you have friends that are going to be there for you. Peyton, Haley, and Nathan. Nathan loves you Brooke and you know it."
"I know but it's just. Okay it's like when you're crying and when people ask you if you're ok it just makes you cry even more. I know their all there for me and I appreciate it but it almost makes it harder."
"It only makes it harder when you're all bottled up inside of yourself. You have to open up and take their care Brooke, and it will make you feel better."
"Well I'm going to school anyways so I guess I'll find out."
"Umm Brooke you had me fooled with that sick thing you probably could have gotten away with it, why did you stop."
"No offense but I'd rather not spend the whole day with Lucas."
"Oh. Are you ever going to forgive my son?"
"I'm not really mad anymore, I just… I'm moving on." She said walking into her room and grabbing her backpack then walking back out and leaving for school.
At school everything was exactly the same as yesterday. Everyone was going on with there lives as normal, but Brooke was moving ten times slower. She walked up to her locker to get her English stuff when Peyton walked up behind her.
"Hey B. Davis." Peyton said.
"Hi Peyton."
"So Nathan told me about your dad. He thought I'd probably be able to help more then him."
"Yeah well I don't think anyone can really help that much, until I know what's wrong with him."
"Right, but look Brooke I'm really sorry and I know you probably don't want to talk about it because I didn't and kind of still don't want to talk about my mom dying."
"Jeez I didn't think he was going to die Peyton."
"Look Brooke all I'm saying is I won't mention it anymore unless you want to talk about it."
"Ok. Thanks Peyton" Brooke said hugging her.
"I've gotta get to English." Brooke said closing her locker and zipping up her back pack
"I'll see you at lunch?" Brooke said giving her a half-hearted smile
"Yeah Brooke." Peyton said. Brooke walked off and Peyton walked then opposite way.
After school finally arrived and Brooke could not believe that she had gotten through the day. But now she had cheer practice which would suck the most out of everything. She walked into the gym and saw that the only other cheerleader there was Peyton
"Peyton. What's going on?" Brooke said walking over to her quickly.
"Ok, I hope you're not too angry with me but I kind of took the liberty of canceling today." Peyton said hesitantly. Brooke jumped up and hugged her.
"Ooh thank you so much it the best things that's happened to me to day."
"So you're not mad?"
"No! Not at all Peyton, thank you this is great, I don't know why I didn't think of canceling practice, oh by the way how did you cancel it?"
"I said you wanted to cancel it."
"Sneaky Peyton. Okay well I'm gonna go I need to just be alone and I have to wait for my parents to call."
"Okay, bye Brooke. Call me if you find out anything."
"I will." Brooke said walking away. Once she got outside the gym she saw Nathan standing there waiting for her.
"Hey." He said walking over to her and hugging her.
"Why aren't you at practice Nathan?"
"I told whitey I had an emergency."
"And what might that be?"
"I had to be with you."
"Nathan, that's sweet but I really kind of just wanted to be alone."
"Oh." He said trying to hide his disappointment "are you sure."
"Yeah, I'll call you if I find anything out, but you get to practice. You have to be the star of the team." She said.
"Umm, alright, yeah I guess I'll go to practice. You sure you're alright Brooke?"
"Yes, I'm positive."
"Ok, well I'm going to go now."
"Okay bye."
"Bye." He said kissing her cheek and running off to the gym. Brooke sighed and walked to her car.
When she got home Karen was sitting at the front table.
"Karen what are you doing here?" Brooke asked
"You're parents called."
"Oh god, and you're here which means something bad had to happen or you wouldn't be here and now you're going to ask me to sit down, and that only means something bad and I don't want to know don't tell me." Brooke said so fast Karen could hardly understand her.
"Brooke. Calm down. Look you can sit down if you want to but I have good news to tell you."
"Oh." Brooke said breathing a sigh of relief "well I'm gonna sit down then." She said and then sat down putting her hands on table. "Go on." Brooke said
"You're father is going to be fine Brooke. He had a surgery and everything's fixed. However there were some comlicatio…"
"Oh he's fine. God that's so great. I can't even like put into words how happy I am."
"But Brooke, as I was saying there were some complications during the surgery."
"Complications, what does that mean?"
"They lost him for a little while."
"They what?"
"His heart stopped, but they got it back up and now he's fine I just thought you needed to know the whole truth."
"Yeah." She said taken aback by the news "wow I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now."
"Well, I'm really glad he's okay Brooke."
"Yeah me too." Brooke said standing up and hugging Karen, "and Karen? Thanks for being there for me. I know I haven't been the best houseguest, but you've really saved me in so many ways."
"Well it's no problem, just keep working on that getting home at night thing."
"Okay. Umm I'm gonna call Peyton, and would you mind if I went over to see Nathan a little later. Only for like an hour. I'll be back tonight I promise."
"Alright that's fine." Karen said getting a glass of water
"Thanks." Brooke said walking into her room.
Brooke walked up to Nathan's apartment door and knocked on it. She heard an "its open" from inside. She walked in and saw Nathan playing a game on the play station, some basketball one of course.
"Brooke hey." He said putting the console down. She walked over to him and sat down on the couch.
"My dads going to be fine." Brooke said
"That's great Brooke. I'm so happy for you." He said about to hug her but then he saw that she didn't look very happy.
"Are you alright." He asked.
"During the surgery, they lost him for a little while. I don't know why that upsets me so much, I mean he's fine now it's just that, he died for a second and I wasn't there. What if they hadn't been able to save him, and he really did die in the surgery."
"But that didn't happen Brooke, look I mean you can't play what's the worse that would happen, because it didn't happen, and it won't happen. Okay?"
"I know you're right. It just really scared me." She said
"I know. Come here." He said pulling her into a hug. Hey sat like that for a while before Brooke realized she had to get home
"I've gotta go." She said
"Oh are you sure, we could watch a movie or something."
"I'd love to but I promised Karen. I'm trying to be a better houseguest daughter type thing to her. Anyways I need to go."
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow?" he said
"Yes. Of course." She said kissing him, and before getting to into it pulling away and putting on her jacket. "Bye." She said walking to the door
"Bye." He said smiling at her and picking up his game console as Brooke left.
