Brooke 18

Kristi 14

Brandon 16

When Brooke woke up again and the tube was removed she asked to see Kristi alone.

"Brooke what's up?" Kristi asked.

"I want to ask you something." Brooke said.

"Anything." Kristi said smiling now.

"It's pretty big and I don't want you to think I haven't thought about this." Brooke paused, "Promise whatever I say now you will keep quiet until something happens." Brooke looked at Kristi.

"Sure anything." Kristi promised.

"I don't want to go through that again. If I stop breathing again I don't want a tube down my throat again." Brooke said Kristi looked at Brooke her body was trembling now.

"Brooke don't ever say that your not going to die!" Kristi then ran out of the room.

This is what I want. Brooke thought she didn't want that tube down her throat again, she didn't want her family to be in anymore pain. Now she was second guessing herself would she come out of this? She didn't know how to answer that question. Brooke however thought of away that could help both her and her family with this whole thing.

So later that night when Jeff came into say good night Brooke brought it up.

"Can I be moved back to the island?" She asked.

"I don't know I could look into it I guess." Jeff had said perking up.

"But why would you want to be moved back there?" Alan asked coming into the room.

"I hate all this wet weather." Brooke said then cracked up laughing. Jeff and Alan laughed at the little joke.

"I mean I don't need to be here anymore and I am feeling a lot better." Brooke said looking from her grandfather and uncle.

"We'll have to talk to your father and Mother about that." Jeff said.

"Ask us what?" Kelly came through the door and looked at all three the people sitting in the room.

"Mom!" Brooke jumped. "I didn't think you were coming till tomorrow."

"Well I wanted to come see you before I went back to the island." Kelly said putting her head down.

"Scott kicking you out?" Alan said which got a stomp on the foot.

"No actually Alan." Kelly growled, "We have to go get new clothes." Kelly then turned her attention to her daughter.

"Brooke. We'll be back late tomorrow do you want anything?" Kelly asked.

"Can I go homw?" Brooke asked. Now is as good as time as any. Brooke thought. If she was going to get her thoughts out there now was the time.

"What? You aren't even strong enough to walk." Kelly looked shocked at what her daughter was asking.

"I don't want to be here anymore." Brooke said quietly.

"Brooke I will not allow you back at the island, until the doctors say your fine here." Kelly spoke now trying to fight her point.

"But."

"No more about it until the doctors say ok you won't come home." Kelly spoke making the decision final.

"Now do you want anything from the island honey?" Kelly turned the subject.

"No but I could use some sand from the beach, maybe some sunshine." Brooke said now very cranky.

"Very funny." Kelly said, "Well we'll see you guys tomorrow night." Kelly kissed Brooke on the forehead then walked out of the room.

"Brooke I'll talk to her." Jeff said seeing his grand-daughter dissappointed didn't make him happy.

Back At the Hotel.

Kristi sat looking at a picture of Brooke, David and her when they were younger. It was before the hood had ruined their lives before he had taken David. It was of them on the beach playing in the sand building a sand castle. They were so little and innocent yet that what was to come would change them forever.

Kristi could remember how the three would always protect eachother and how it was so hard for both Brooke and herself to get over his death. The Brooke she had known was gone after David didn't come back. Brooke had changed she worked harder and spent more time by herself. Kristi felt abandon and tried to hate David for leaving in her mind it was his fault that Brooke wasn't spending anytime with her. It was because of him that her days were spent watching her aunts cry. Kristi got up and threw the picture across the room which shattered the pieces laid on the floor never again to be fully put back together.

Just like my heart. Kristi thought.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Come in!" She called.

She ran over to try and clean up the mess she made. When she looked back over she saw Brandon standing by her bed.

"Brandon!" She yelled as it had been along time since she saw him.

"Kristi good to see you again." Brandon looked just like Alan with the blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I didn't think you were coming. I mean with school and everything." Kristi then said throwing what little glass she had in her hand.

"Well I'm not going to let Brookesit in a hospital room with out me. And without her parents here I thought I would come out." Brandon always could explain why he was somewhere.

"Oh, well I can take you over to the hospital if you want." Kristi jumping at the walk over.

"Not right away I want to talk to you first." Brandon said patting his hand on the bed.

"Ok I guess. What's up?" Kristi didn't really want to go into things with him.

"Kristi I know with the Hood back in the picture, everyone is thinking about David." Brandon paused. " Brooke is going to be fine though. She is getting the best treatment." Kristi raised her hand to stop him.

"Can I tell you something. Something that Brooke told me not to tell anyone." Kristi looked deep into Brandon's eyes and then continued, " Something that I have been thinking about over and over again since I left the hospital this morning."

"ok what is it?" Brandon asked.

"She doesn't want another tube down her throat, she said that if she stopped breathing again she doesn't want to wake up." Kristi said.

How was that guys.
