New chapter, I hope you like this one and hope it satisfies you for a while lol. Enjoy.
Peyton's POV:
I thought that Lucas and I had had a break through, I had that speech with him where I told him everything that I was feeling an dhow he hurt me and then he talked and told me that when I was ready he would be waiting for me and that meant a lot to me, I actually smiled and then it all came crushing down.
I can't believe he kept this from me . . . . and not just that but he kept from Haley and from his parents.
Flashback
Lucas has just left and I found a bottle of pills on the floor, he must have dropped them. I spin them around in my hands wondering why Lucas would have pills. Does he have a drug problem? No that can't be right Lucas would never take drugs. What if he is sick? What if it's serious? How could he not tell me this?
I stood up and walked out towards my car. I have to see him now; I have to ask him about this. There is probably a reasonable explanation to all of this and I am just overreacting.
I pull into Haley's drive way and rush into the house once I get out of my car.
"Hey Peyt." Jake states with a smile which I shakily return.
"Hey Jake, where's Lucas?" He raises an eyebrow up me but points me in the direction of Lucas room. I thank him and rush in that direction. I stop in front of Lucas' room and knock on the door impatiently. I hear a muffled come in and I walk into the room. He looks up and shock appears on his face when he sees me.
"Peyton. I wasn't expecting to see you so soon."
"I'm not here to talk to you about us Lucas." I pause and hold up the container and watch as he freezes and slight fear creeps into his eyes.
"Where did you get that?" He asks me slowly.
"They fell out of your pocket at my place, now can you explain this to me? Why do you have pills Lucas?"
"It's nothing Peyton."
"DON'T LIE TO ME LUCAS." I yell at him and he winces slightly and looks up at me with guilty eyes, "Just tell me what is going on Lucas!" I kneel in front of him and take his hands in mine, "Are you sick?"
"I have cancer Peyton . . . its terminal . . . . I only have a couple of months to live." I drop his hands in shock and then push myself up and turn away from him.
"Peyton." He pleads as he touches my shoulder softly and it feels like its burning through my skin.
"Peyton please say something."
"How could you not tell me this Lucas? I mean you told me you would be waiting for me but what if you died before I forgave you? I mean I would never get to see you again. HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME!" I yell at him in anger as is pin around with tears running down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry Peyton . . . I didn't want to lose you and I thought that if I told you wouldn't want to fix things with me." I look up at him as more tears stream down my cheeks.
"Did you think that maybe that would be the push to make me forgive you? I may have hated you for a while Lucas but that doesn't mean I don't want you alive. The fact that you have hidden this from me hurts even more, it makes me want to hate you but I can't . . . . I won't because I don't want you to die." I choke on my last words and they end up coming out as a whisper as I look up at him.
He reaches forward but I take a step back.
"I don't want you to die and I don't want to hate you but right now I can't talk to you."
End Flashback
So now I don't know what to do. I look down at my lap and I feel a tear roll down my cheek and I reach up to quickly wipe it away. I wish I could go back in time and fix everything back then but I can't and that's what hurts most of all.
Dan's POV:
I watch Lucas train the girls from the sidelines as he takes a different approach than I have ever seen with training. He has a completely different style to what Nathan has and it's interesting to watch. Nathan seems to be more tough on his players like Whitey was where Lucas takes a softer approach, he has them laughing and wanting to come to practice.
I watch as he jokes around with Jenny while watching the rest of him team. He punches Jenny in the arm lightly and she laughs before running off to line-up behind the other girls.
I watch Lucas closely as I start to walk towards them to get a better view of his training method when I notice him frowning and clutching at his chest. I frown and watch in horror as his knees give out and he collapses, Jenny screams and I run towards him.
I kneel down next to him and place my jacket under his head while handing my phone to Jenny and telling her to dial 911.
Lucas can barely keep his eyes open and he looks up at me and whispers.
"Call Peyton."
There's a whole bunch of standing in the waiting room. Karen, Peyton, Nathan. Brooke, Haley, Jake, all the kids and myself. Jenny is in Jake's arms and she shaking and crying while Jake tries to calm her down. The others just look confused except for Peyton . . . she just looks scared.
"Family of Lucas Scott." The Doctor states as he comes out of Lucas' room and Karen jumps out of my arms and rushes forward to the Doctor.
"I'm Karen, his Mother and this is Dan his Father. Is he ok?" The Doctor gives her a warm smile and addresses everyone that is standing behind us as well.
"Lucas is going to be fine. He had a mild heart attack which was caused from two aspects. The first aspect is stress, he has been under stress lately although he didn't tell me why and the second is because of his cancer."
"Excuse me did you say cancer?" Karen snaps and my mouth drops open in shock.
"Yes, Lucas has terminal cancer." I watch as Karen starts to shake and thenher legs give way and I quickly catch her and pull her into my arms helping to move her over to the seats.
"I'm sorry Doctor, could you give us a few moments." The Doctor nods his head and walks off.
"How could he not tell us about this Dan? We are his parents." I nod my head in agreement and pull her into my lap as I rub her back in a soothing motion.
"Did anyone know about this?" Everyone shakes there head from what I can see.
"I knew." Everyone turns there heads to look at Peyton in shock and she gives us all a weak smile.
"We had a talk a couple of nights ago and he dropped some medication at my house I took it to him and made him tell me what was going on." She pauses for a second and then continues, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I was still trying to wrap my head around it."
"It's alright Peyton." I assure her and she gives me a small smile, "Do you want to see him Karen?"
"No not right now, I will only yell at him now and he doesn't need that. Why don't you go in Peyton since you have had time to absorb this information?" Peyton nods her head and walks into Lucas' room and as we all sit out in the waiting room.
Peyton's POV:
I walk into the room and see him connected up to the machines and my breath catches in my throat, I never imagined seeing him like this again. He turns his head and gives me a weak smile.
I look around the room and spot a chair and drag it over so I can sit next to him, I take his hand in mine and link our fingers and then look up at him.
"Lucas when Dan called me I got so frightened, I mean I thought you were gonna die and I hadn't had a chance to fix things with you yet and then I got here and no one knew why I was so scared." I pause and look at him as he smiles softly.
"Look Lucas I don't want to lose you but it seems that I don't have much of a choice so I want to spend time with you and try to fix whatever we have because if I don't I know I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"Thanks Peyton." He states with a smile, "Thanks for giving me another chance." He whispers and I give him a smile and then lean over and kiss his forehead.
"Your welcome but since we are back on good terms I think I should warn you that your Mother is gonna kill you because the Doctor told everyone about your cancer."
Thanks to Monica, Laurie, Kel, Kate, Nats and Gem for the reviews.
