Title:
The Rumble of thunder of an approaching storm
Fandom: One
Tree Hill
Pairing: Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer.
Summary:
Even good times have it's moments of darkness.
Lucas stood by the window and watched the storm clouds move in. He could hear the thunder off in the distance and he could hear it moving closer.
He could feel in his heart too. Peyton was lying in bed with her head covered up. He sat down on the bed and took a deep breathe.
Peyton felt him sit down and felt something was off, "Lucas, are you ok?"
"No, I'm having a heart attack," he gasped for air.
"Lucas, hold on, I'll call 911!"
"There's not enough time for... that, you have to drive me."
"Come on," she said helping him stand up. She was supporting him with all her strength. He could hardly walk the pain was so intense.
Within minutes, Peyton had him loaded in her car and was speeding down the freeway toward the hospital. She heard the sirens behind her, but had no intention of stopping; she picked up her cell phone and called 911. When the dispatcher answered, Peyton quickly explained that she couldn't stop and there was cop right behind her.
Within a few minutes the cop car that was chasing her pulled in front of her and steered traffic out of her way.
Tears were threatening to fall, but she held them back. Lucas needed her right now to be strong. She had only known for 3 weeks now that he had a heart condition.
She pulled into the hospital parking lot and was met by the cop who beat her to the hospital, "Let me help you ma'am."
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome."
2 Hours later…
Peyton sat in the ER waiting for news on Lucas. She had called Karen and Haley; they were on there way with Nathan and Brooke.
Peyton looked up to see Karen, Haley, and Nathan run in, Peyton broke down. She couldn't hold it anymore; Karen rushed to her, "What happened?"
"He had a heart attack!"
Karen gasped air and Peyton helped her sit down, "He lied to me, he has the condition doesn't he?"
"Yes."
Haley and Nathan sat down next to Karen. Brooke came in a few minutes later; she rushed to Peyton, "Is he going to be ok?"
"I don't know the doctor hasn't come out yet."
The doors to the ER opened up and the doctor came out, "Anyone here for Lucas Scott?"
"We are!" said Peyton almost in a scream. Karen, Brooke, Hales, and Nathan all stood up with her.
"He's going to be fine. He had a minor heart attack. We've started him on medication and he should be fine to go home in a few days."
"May we see him?"
"One at a time."
Peyton looked at Karen, "Go ahead, he's your son."
Karen smiled a thank you, "Peyton, you go ahead, I can see him in a minute. Right now, you need to be with him."
Peyton walked into the hospital room. She walked over, took Lucas hand, and placed her head on his chest. She wanted to hear his heart beat and cried when she did.
