Ok here's chapter 2. Thank you for all the great reviews, and this is a pretty exciting chapter so I'd love to know your thoughts, plus it helps. Anyways please read and enjoy…
Brooke woke up the next day and turned over, groggily, expecting to see Lucas but he wasn't there.
"Lucas?" she said aloud.
No answer
"Lucas?" she said this time a little louder, and getting out of the bed and wrapping the sheets around herself. She started walking down the hall and towards the kitchen.
"Luca…" Brooke said but screamed when someone grabbed her from behind putting their hands over her mouth. Finally Brooke got to where she could see the person only to find out that it was Lucas.
"Lucas, oh my god you scared me to death." Brooke said.
"You're so funny when you get scared, I had to do it." Lucas said.
"I thought you had been kidnapped." Brooke said.
"Interesting theory." Lucas said.
Brooke stepped back a little bit from Lucas and saw that he was wearing a button down shirt with beige pants and loafers.
"What are you so dressed up for?" she asked him.
"I have a meeting with the principal of the school today." Lucas said.
"Well that is such an ugly outfit." Brooke said. "Come on we have to dress you in something more basketball coach appropriate." Brooke said pushing Lucas down the hall.
"What are sheets the new thing now?" he asked her, commenting on her only having a sheet over her.
"They might be. God I can't believe I even let you buy that top." Brooke said
Unbuttoning it and ripping it off.
"Hey careful." Lucas said.
"With this shirt? Who cares?" Brooke said "now is the principal a girl or a boy because you know you could really get the job by just going like this." Brooke said, tracing her hands over Lucas's chest.
"And why is that?" he asked her.
"Because you're so sexy." Brooke said kissing him.
"It's a boy." Lucas said.
"Then wear this shirt." Brooke said throwing a shirt at him. "And change those shoes, and wait don't you already have the job?" she asked him.
"Yeah, but I want to coach and do some assistant teaching there too." Lucas said.
"Oh, well then we definitely need to change those shoes." Brooke said starting to look through the closet for different types of shoes. Lucas came up behind her and slipped his arms around her waste.
"Hello there." Brooke said surprised.
"What will you be wearing on your first day back on the job?" Lucas asked her.
"Umm, I don't know." Brooke said breaking away from Lucas "excuse me I suddenly don't feel to good." Brooke said running into the bathroom.
"Brooke?" he asked her suddenly getting a little bit worried.
"Yeah, you know what? I'm actually feeling fine now. I just got a little light headed for like ten seconds there." Brooke said.
"You sure you want to go to work today?" he asked her putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah, I have to. Um is it alright if I come to your practice this afternoon? I love to see you in action." Brooke said.
"Sure, but promise me that you will go home if you don't feel well." Lucas said touching Brooke's face.
"Don't worry, broody. I'm fine, really." Brooke said kissing him quickly before walking over to her closet to find something to wear.
"Alright, oh shit I have to go. I'm going to be late. There's coffee in the kitchen." Lucas said grabbing his wallet and keys.
"Thanks, but I have to have a caramel frappachino from star bucks." Brooke said.
"Of course, how could I forget?" Lucas said "ok bye, see you this afternoon." Lucas said kissing her quickly on the forehead before walking out the door.
Brooke watched him go and then looked back at her clothes. She had so lied, she still felt light headed, and sort of queasy, but she had to go to work and she didn't want to worry Lucas over nothing, so she just put on a black skirt and blue tank top and headed off to work.
"Brooke, your back." Betsy, one of Brooke's co workers, came up to Brooke and hugged her.
"Oh, yeah I am." Brooke said, not very enthusiastic about it.
"So tell me how was the honeymoon?" Betsy asked her, super excitedly.
"It was fine, um how's everything here?" Brooke asked her.
"It can all wait for you to tell me how things went." Betsy said.
"Ok, um look I really need to get back into the swing of things, or whatever, but um I think I'll have to take a rain check on that one. Sorry." Brooke said.
"Oh, that's ok. I guess I should get back to work too. Um Haley stopped by like five minutes ago."
"What did she want?" Brooke asked her.
"She just wanted to see you I think." Betsy said.
"Ok, thanks I'll call her. I need to anyways." Brooke said.
"Ok, bye Brooke." Betsy said.
"Bye." Brooke said that Betsy wasn't always the best worker but she sure was nice.
Brooke walked into her office and sat down at her desk getting her phone out to call Haley, but when she was getting her phone out she almost felt like she was going to faint and throw up. This time it lasted for like thirty seconds. Brooke decided she couldn't keep going through the day like this. She got on her work phone called the front desk.
"Davis designs." A voice said.
"Hi, it's Brooke, umm I'm not feeling very well, so I think I'm just going to go home but I should be back tomorrow." Brooke said.
"Ok miss, Davis. I hope you feel better." The lady said, Brooke could never keep track of who was working at the front desk on which days. This was possibly Laura.
Brooke grabbed her purse and walked out of the office.
When she got home she changed into sweat pants and curled into her bed. IT wasn't long before the queasy feeling came back but this time she actually threw up. Luckily she made it to the bathroom.
"God what is wrong with me?" she asked herself out loud. What ever it was she couldn't freak Lucas out, and after she took a nap she was feeling a lot better so she just decided to not tell Lucas about this one and show up at his practice. She changed into jeans and a fitted t-shirt, and headed off to his practice.
"Alright guys, my name is Lucas Scott, but um you can just call me coach Scott if you want." Lucas said, he was having his first practice and meeting with his team. He was super nervous.
"Hey Coach Scott, can we just start playing basketball, we're not really interested in your life story." One of the boys said. He was the one that all the guys kind of followed after, obviously the guys that all the girls wanted to date and all the guys wanted to be.
"What's your name?" Lucas said sternly, but not wanting to be all serious and mean on his first day. The kid wasn't looking at him; he was just talking to one of his loyal followers.
"Hey, you what's your name?" Lucas said louder.
"Oh me? I'm Kevin." He said.
"Right well Kevin, we're not going to play basketball until you guys start running." Lucas said.
"Hey Coach Scott, we don't need to run we're already NBA material, so why don't we just skip the conditioning part?" Kevin asked him acting like they were buddies.
"Why don't you just start running?" Lucas said. Just then Brooke walked into the gym and sort of jumped at the loud noise the door made when it closed behind her all the guys on the team turned to look at her, and it was like she was the hottest thing they'd ever seen, and they didn't look away. One of the guys Kevin had talked to earlier turned to him and lowered his voice. "Man I'd like to get with that." He said.
Kevin started joking around with him "dude I'm all over that shit right there, she's hot." Kevin said.
"That's my wife your talking about, so if you don't want to be running for the rest of practice I suggest you start running now and don't talk about my wife any more." Lucas said, having overheard their comments.
"Hey babe." Brooke said finally getting over to all the players.
"Hey." Lucas said "run guys." Lucas said. Kevin smiled at Brooke and then started to run around the gym followed by the other guys.
"How's it going?" Brooke asked him sitting down on the bleachers. Lucas sat down beside her.
"Oh, ok I guess. I can tell all these kids are rich snobs, who think they own the world." Lucas said.
"Yeah I know how that is." Brooke said "because I used to be that, well I still am I'm just not as rich."
"Yeah but these kids are, I don't know. Hey um would you mind if we just met up for dinner, I don't want you to see how much I'm going to suck at being a coach." Lucas said but he really just didn't want Brooke around for the guys to drool over.
"Um, sure." Brooke said. "Yeah the pizza place down the street?"
"Sure." He said.
"Ok, just call me when practice is over." Brooke said kissing Lucas quickly on the cheek.
"Bye Brooke." Lucas said.
"Bye." She said and as she walked out of the gym the guys all started to slow down in their running.
"Run!" Lucas yelled to them.
Brooke got a table and sat down to wait for Lucas to get to the restaurant. She put her napkin in her lap. A waiter brought a pizza by her and the smell made her feel nauseous.
Just then Lucas walked in and sat down.
"Hey honey." Lucas said.
"Oh, hey." Brooke said just getting over that nauseous feeling.
"Sorry I'm late. The guys were being jerks." Lucas said.
"That's ok." Brooke said.
"You know what you want?" he asked her.
"Um, I'm really not very hungry big lunch at the office" Brooke said.
"Oh yeah speaking of that how was work?" he asked her.
"Um… it was fine." Brooke said quietly.
"Just fine?" he asked her.
"You know just getting back into things." Brooke said.
"Right, yeah." Lucas said hesitantly "are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"
"Yeah, positive." Brooke said.
"Well why don't I just get mine to go then, I don't want to just sit here and have you watch me eat." Lucas said.
"Whatever." Brooke said.
"You sure you're ok? You look a little pale." He said.
"God Lucas I'm fine could you just stop freaking out!" Brooke said getting very annoyed.
"Ok, sorry. Brooke just calm down." He said.
"You know what I'm going to go call Haley; I'll meet you back at the apartment." Brooke said getting up and grabbing her purse off the table, but Lucas caught her hand.
"Hey, don't be mad." Lucas said "I'm just looking out for you."
"Well you don't have to. I'm fine. I'll see you later." Brooke said and kissed him on the cheek before walking out of the restaurant. When she got outside she walked down the street to the seven eleven and when she got inside she saw Carmen.
"Carmen?" she asked the girl.
"Oh, hey you're from the plane." Carmen said.
"Yeah, weird seeing you like this." Brooke said.
"What are you doing here?" Carmen asked her.
"Just looking for something." Brooke said.
"What?" Carmen asked her.
"Umm, nothing in particular."
"But you said you were looking for something." Carmen said.
"Hey, where are you parents?" Brooke asked her trying to change the subject.
"Oh, there uh in the car. I'm just getting a drink." Carmen said.
"Have you had your uncle's funeral yet?" Brooke asked her, not really knowing why she was talking to this girl.
"What? Oh yeah, it was today." Carmen said nodding her head.
"Ok, well you should probably get back to your parents. Nice seeing you." Brooke said hesitantly.
"Yeah, oh and what your looking for. I don't think your going to find it here." Carmen said.
"Your right actually." Brooke said, what was this girl some kind of physic?
"I sense things from people. See you around." Carmen said and went up to the register with her drink. Brooke thought about how weird that was before walking to where she really needed to go: the drugstore.
Back at the apartment Lucas had just arrived home and sat down on the couch with his pizza, when his phone rang.
"Hello?" he answered it.
"Hey Lucas its Haley." Haley said.
"Oh hey." Lucas said.
"Um, is Brooke ok?" Haley asked him.
"I think so, why?" he asked her.
"well I mean I stopped by the office this morning to see Brooke and she wasn't there, and Betsy or whatever told me she'd have her call me, but she didn't call all day so I called back at the office and they said she'd been there for like five days but then she went home sick." Haley said "I just wanted to check up on her." Haley said.
"You know what Haley; she's fine I'll have her call you later." Lucas said.
"Ok, thanks. Bye." Haley said.
"Bye." Lucas hung up his phone right as Brooke walked into the apartment.
"Hey you." Brooke said flopping down on the couch by Lucas.
"Hey." Lucas said.
"Is everything ok?" Brooke asked him.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Lucas said.
"Ok, what are you talking about?" Brooke asked him.
"I just got a call from Haley, she said she called your office and you left after being there for five minutes saying you were sick"
"Ok, Lucas…" but Lucas cut her off.
"Brooke you're scaring me, what is wrong with you?" Lucas asked her.
"Nothing, I'm just really tired. I came home and took a nap and then I've felt fine for the rest of the day. I just didn't want to worry you over nothing." Brooke said.
"Brooke, we're married and you know that I love you. You can tell me anything." Lucas said.
"Ok." Brooke said. "I think I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. It will be a long day at work tomorrow." Brooke said and got up and walked into their bedroom. Lucas waited until she was in there and he got up to grab the remote but ended up knocking Brooke's purse off the table. When he was putting everything back in he came across a paper bag. He was about to look in it when he heard Brooke scream out his name from the bathroom. When he ran inside he saw Brooke lying on the floor, passed out. He ran over to her and put her head in his lap.
"Brooke!" he yelled. Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Brooke? Hey can you hear me?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I just I got really light headed and then I slipped." Brooke said.
"You didn't slip you passed out. I'm taking you to the hospital." Lucas said.
"No, Lucas I hate hospitals. I'll be fine." Brooke said.
"Brooke! I'm taking you whether you like it or not. I don't know why you keep lying to me, but I'm not risking your safety." Lucas said pulling her up to her feet.
"I'm so tired." Brooke said leaning against Lucas, letting her weight fall onto him.
"Yeah, let's just get you to the hospital. It's ok Brooke." Lucas said "I'm right here."
