Never Gone
Chapter 8
"Daddy?" Brooke had a pained look on her face, she wasn't sure why her dad was here or where she even was…
"Brooke." Her father smiled at her as he entered the room, looking at the other two occupants before taking a seat on the edge of his daughters' bed.
"Mr. Davis, its nice to see you again." Lucas told him, standing and shaking the older mans hand.
"Lucas, would you mind telling me how I got a call saying my only daughter had ended up here?" He looked towards Brooke when he was done asking Lucas his question. He took Brooke's hand and kissed it.
Brooke smiled at her dad, not sure why he had cared enough to come. She just listened to see what Luke would say; she had plenty of questions to ask him herself.
"She just fainted. The doctors said they don't know why, but they are running tests to find out. But they took a guess and said its most likely just stress." Luke said and sat back down beside Brooke, looking at her he couldn't keep the grin off his face, he was so happy she had woken up this soon.
So she was in the hospital? She looked around the room and she defiantly would not disagree with that thought. She saw Haley and Lucas and her dad were the only people in the room. Where was Haley's baby? Hadn't she just been holding her?
"Hales?" Brooke asked turning to look at her former friend.
"Yea?" Haley muttered looking at the older Davis before looking at her friend.
"Where's your daughter?"
"She has a child!" Mr. Davis looked at Haley and looked appalled. "No person that young should have children!" He said raising his voice only slightly.
There, that sounded like her father. "Dad why are you here?" Brooke turned her attention to her father before Haley could answer.
"I came to see if you were ok. Don't I have that right as your father?"
"Yes its just you never did before so why now?"
"I was here on a business trip when the hospital called me."
"Dad see!"
"See what!"
"If you hadn't of already been here would you have come to see me?"
Mr. Davis looked thoughtful for a second, he sighed and then it registered in his brain. Why was she here in the first place.
"Shouldn't you be at home?"
"Dad! We came to visit Haley."
"Your missing school…"
"No we are on break." Not like you'd care anyways, she thought.
"So! You came to visit her!" He pointed fingers at Haley and she got an angry look on her face.
"Hey!" Luke said standing up, defending his friend.
"Dad just leave!" Brooke yelled, getting a headache from all of this. She didn't want him to be here she just wanted Luke to tell her everything about what was wrong with her.
A few minutes later the doctors came in because of all the yelling. Unfortunately for Brooke, they made everyone leave, including Lucas, telling her they could come back later but she needed to rest right now.
She felt so alone. She had tried asking her doctor what was wrong with her and the many questions she had but she hadn't been answered too well. In fact, they told her the same thing she already knew.
And not she was getting bored. She had nothing to do, no nurses to mess with and no doctors to flirt with. She had no one to talk to, and she didn't want to talk to herself. Who knows what these doctors would think of her? They would probably send her to the psycho ward if they found her talking to herself…
The only think she could do was think… and thinking got her no where… most of her thinking hurt to now days because she couldn't stop thinking about him. DAMNIT was that kid really Nathan's? She thought she had seen some of him in the child, but then again, was Haley telling the truth?
But that would have made since, Nathan leaving her because he found out that Haley was pregnant, but he hadn't told her that. Neither had told her anything. So she figured he hadn't know but if he hadn't of told her because he hadn't kept anything from her. But maybe he had? She was confused; she needed more answers from Haley.
Even though, she didn't know why because it wouldn't do any good anyways. What would it solve? It wasn't like Nathan was going to ever want her back… And besides, she had Lucas now…
She loved Lucas, she was pretty sure of that. Even though she knew she didn't love him as much as she loved Nathan… She didn't even know why she had fallen for Nathan… But as she thought about she knew why. He had been there for her when Lucas wasn't, those times when Lucas was hurting her and he knew and it hadn't seemed to bother him. She didn't know why she hadn't broken up with Lucas during that time; she thought she was so in love with him so couldn't stand to be without him…
That was, until Nathan had been there. He took her mind off of his brother and showed her how to have fun again; he helped her through her pain while Luke kept dishing it out. He told her to break up with him but when she told him she couldn't he understood. But one night their friendship had changed…
She remembered that night, very clearly, from when Lucas had told her what had almost broken her heart, to when she had left crying and went to Nathan's apartment, not knowing Haley was out of town for the night, and finally to what had happened that night after it all…
No. She couldn't think about that. It only hurt her more to remember what they'd had. Why would it even still bother her though? That was a few months ago so why should it still affect her? Damnit…
