Note: Thank you to everyone who left reviews. It really does mean a lot to me. I'm sorry to all the people who hoped it would be Pathan and Jaley. I have recently had the incentive to write Pathan but Jaley... I don't see how they'd work. I contemplated Jake and Haley finding new loves but I just decided that to make my original plot work it'd have to be Naley and Jeyton, besides I ship both of those couples. My other story, "Where Is Your Heart?" has officially become Pathan and Jaley though. Well I hope I didn't loose any readers of this one because of the pairings. If you haven't already realized, the chapters are all named after songs, but no they might not have any relation to the song, so yeah. Okay, on with the story now.

"Right now it's only family allowed in the room," a much too tall dark haired doctor replied gently to Brooke's question.

Brooke looked up at the man with tears in her eyes, "He's my boyfriend, please let me see him."

Nathan appeared from a hallway to the right of Brooke, Haley and the doctor.

"I'm sorry," the doctor replied glancing to Nathan who had joined them. "I'm sure he can fill you in on Mr. Scott's condition." With that said the doctor headed back down the hallway Nathan had just come from.

"How is he?" Brooke asked turning to face Nathan, still gripping Haley for dear life.

"Unconscious, hooked up to a hell of a lot of wires. Doctor said they almost lost him but they managed to stabilize his heart," Nathan told her.

"What caused the heart attack?" Haley asked him, looking up to meet her husbands eyes.

"One on one basketball game with Skills," Nathan replied.

"Is he going to be okay?" Brooke asked trying to hold back her tears.

Nathan shrugged, "I hope so."

Brooke coughed, "I think I'm going to be sick."

Haley rubbed her back, "You'll be fine Brooke. Let's go sit and wait for Karen okay?"

Brooke shook her head, "I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a second."

Once inside a stall of the bathroom Brooke sat down on the toilet cover and dropped her head into her hands. She took in a deep breath and tried to keep herself from crying, it wasn't working. 'How could he do this to me? Why wasn't he being careful? I have to see him. I have to.' Jumbles of thoughts were running through her head. Bottom line, she needed to see him. She coughed again; an unexpected urge to throw up came over her as she moved away from the toilet bowl. She dropped to her knees, threw the cover up and spilled the contents of her stomach into it. She shuddered as she finished, dropping down backwards so she fell, her head hitting the stall door as she started to cry again. Her hands wrapped around her knees and she pulled them to her chest. She'd felt like crap all day and Lucas' unexpected hospital visit wasn't helping her at all.

"Brooke?" Haley called as she entered the bathroom, "You in here?" She could hear the sound of someone crying as she walked inside the bathroom. "Brooke?" Haley called again as she looked at the floor by each stall. She stopped when she saw Brooke's back leaning against the door. She was certain it was Brooke, not many people can pull off a green tank top.

"You okay?" Haley asked as she squatted to the floor.

Brooke shook her head; the tears were still falling from her eyes, "Uh... yeah. I'll be out in a second." Brooke used the back of her hand to wipe her eyes and stood up, flushing the toilet bowl and unlocking her stall. She stepped out of it and passed right by Haley, immediately moving towards the sink to wash out her mouth. The taste in her mouth was horrible. Brooke spit the water out of her mouth and quickly splashed water on her face. Haley watched her for a moment before speaking, "Brooke, are you okay?"

Brooke turned away from the sink to face Haley, forcing a smile, "Yeah. I'm okay; I just need to see Luke. He needs to know I love him."

Haley pulled Brooke into a hug, "Nathan went back to see him. He said Luke's back to consciousness. Nathan told Luke you were here. Lucas knows you love him."

"But does he know I forgive him?" Brooke asked.

"C'mon, I'll get you into the room. I'll work some good ol' Haley magic. You both need to see each other," Haley told her.

Brooke pulled away from Haley's embrace and nodded.

"Lucas Scott is here, we got a call from his brother, my husband. We need to see my brother-in-law; could we have his room number please?" Haley asked hopefully.

The woman at the receptionist desk glanced at the computer, clicked a few buttons and typed in Lucas' name. She looked up, "It says family only. What is her relation to Mr. Scott?" She gestured to Brooke. Haley looked from the receptionist to Brooke who was staring back at her hoping Haley had a good enough answer.

"She's his fiancée," a voice said from behind the two of them. Both Brooke and Haley turned to face the speaker. Brooke smiled, "Karen."

"Fiancée?" The receptionist asked quizzically, "The boy in question is only 17."

"He's my son, and this is my soon to be daughter-in-law. Who are you to question it? Please inform Haley of Lucas' condition while I bring him his fiancée," Karen said with a smile as she turned, pulling Brooke away with her.

"Room 137, he just regained consciousness and he's doing better," the receptionist told Haley.

Brooke wrapped her arms around Karen and the two embraced for a moment, "I'll take you to see him, Nathan's with him."

The two women left Haley behind and headed down the hallway that hand the 100-200 rooms branch off of it.

"Lucas needs your smiling face," Karen told Brooke as the two walked down the hall.

"I don't know about smiles, but yeah I need to see him too. He needs to know I forgive him. I overreacted. I mean, at least he told me," Brooke replied.

"What happened?"

"Remember when Lucas and I were at the café?"

Karen nodded, "He never gave me the details on that, but I figured he did something to hurt you."

Brooke sighed, "He told me about his HCM and I flipped out. I care about your son so much and the thought of loosing him, it just kills me. I don't want a repeat of last time. My heart wouldn't be able to take it. I'm in love with him, I couldn't stand to loose him again."

Karen put her arm around Brooke's shoulders, "He loves you too, trust me." Karen stopped at the closed door in front of them. 137. "I'll get Nathan out and let you and Lucas talk."

Brooke nodded as Karen left the hall, leaving Brooke outside alone. It was 5 long minutes of Brooke reminding herself not to cry before Karen and Nathan appeared in the hallway, Nathan shutting the door to Lucas' room behind him. Karen touched Brooke's shoulder reassuringly and led Nathan back towards the waiting room. Brooke took in another deep breath and opened Lucas' door. Her smile returned to her face as she saw him, even though he didn't look great.

"Nate said you were here," Lucas told her in a raspy voice.

Brooke nodded slowly, and shut his door behind her.

"Still not talking to me?" Lucas asked softly, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Brooke didn't answer him. She sat down on his bed beside his waist and leaned down to his face. She placed a kiss on both cheeks, his nose, up to his forehead and below both ears before she finally kissed his lips.

"I'm sorry Luke. I overreacted the other day… I never should have ignored you. That song you sent for me to listen to… you never lost me," she placed a hand on his cheek, "You'll never loose me. I'm yours Luke, forever."

Lucas smiled, "I love you Pretty Girl."

Brooke kissed his lips softly, "I love you too Broody." They both smiled at the nickname, neither had used or heard that name in a very long time.

He placed his hand over the hand she had on his cheek, "I'm sorry I never told you about the HCM. It was wrong of me," he took their hands off his cheek and held onto hers tightly, "I couldn't let him destroy my family. I wanted to bring him down."

"It's okay, I know now. It's okay," Brooke reassured him, "How are you feeling? Does anything hurt? Did the doctors say how long you'd be in here for?"

Lucas smiled at the questions, that was Brooke alright, nosey as ever. But she was his nosey Brooke, "I'm as good as I can be. Pains at a minimum but I'm loaded with drugs. There's a surgery they can perform to help fix the problem but it's costly and would leave me in the hospital for 2 months."

Brooke nodded; she didn't really know what to say, "That's better than nothing right?"

"Right," he replied.

"You had me so scared. When Haley told me, I couldn't even stand up on my own. You're not allowed to play basketball EVER again, got it? Okay, good." She didn't even leave him time to reply.

Lucas laughed a slightly painful laugh.

"No... Don't laugh, it hurts. I'm sorry. I'll shut up."

Lucas moved his hand up to her cheek and touched her face gently, "It's okay Brooke. Your voice is just the medicine I need."

She leaned her head into his hand a bit and kissed his palm, "By the way… if anyone asks, we're engaged."

Lucas laughed softly again, "Original Brooke."

"Actually, it was your mom," she replied, "Which surprised me. She just wanted to get me in to see you."

Lucas smiled, "That's my mom for you… You look like you had a rough day. Do me a favor okay?"

"Anything," Brooke said with a nod.

"Go home, take a shower, sleep, and eat," Lucas told her.

"But-"

Lucas cut her off, "And when you're done you get your little ass back here with a cheeseburger in hand."

Brooke smiled and leaned down to kiss him once more, "Your wish is my command."

"I could get used to that," Lucas replied with a smile.

"What? Me doing everything you want?" Brooke asked with a smile as well.

"No. Those kisses."

"Good, you've got yourself a lifetime supply of those."

"Go Brooke, you need to sleep," Lucas told her.

She stood up from the bed and nodded, "Yeah. I'll be back later okay? I'll be here until they drag me out by my hair."

"They wouldn't get that drastic."

Brooke shrugged, leaned down to kiss him again and pulled back, "I love you Luke."

"I love you too Brooke."

She turned away from him and headed for the door, "Haley will be in here next I bet. She wants to see you."

Lucas laughed a bit, "Great."

Brooke blew him one more kiss and turned the handle on the door, opening it and stepping through, "Love you."

"You already said that."

"So?"

"Love you too."

Brooke shut the door and headed back down the hallway. 'Shower, eat, sleep… cheeseburger.' Brooke repeated over and over in her head, 'Won't take me that long.'
