"So, she found out today?"
"I am assuming so," said the doctor, monotonically. The doctor then left to see his other patients.
"I wonder if the baby will be safe. Gosh, really. Why did this have to be such a horrible day? First, the wedding was great, Hales, but then why did this happen?" Lucas cried.
"Errr…thanks," Haley mumbled.
Moments later, Lucas and Brooke had gone to the cafeteria, and once again, Haley was left alone. She wondered why she was alone; after all, this was her wedding day. Isn't this day meant for joy and celebration? Instead, the rest of her day was filled with loneliness and misery. She wanted so badly for this not to happen. Haley wanted her special day to be hers, all hers. Lucas and Brooke then came back, hand in hand. The rest of the day was uneventful, so the trio decided to come back the next morning to check up on Cooper's condition.
The next morning they returned together, along with Nathan, to hear about the condition of "Uncle Cooper."
"How is he, doc?" Nathan asked, as the group approached the doctor.
"He is doing wonderfully. He is off of the breathing support, and I think he will be ready to leave soon. Right now, you can all see him," the doctor said, smiling.
"Thank you doctor," Nathan said with joy. Just as the group heard the news, they rushed towards the room.
As the group entered the room, they saw Cooper looking just like he had been at the wedding, only a day ago.
"Hey Nate…and company," Cooper said with a smile across his face.
"Hey," the group said in unison.
"How are you doing? Feeling better?" Lucas said.
"I'm feeling much better. How is Rachel? I hope she's okay," Cooper said.
There was then an uncomfortably long silence.
"I don't know how to break it to you, but she didn't make it out of the accident alive," Brooke mumbled.
"Yeah, I tried to save both of you, but I guess nothing could be done," Nathan said, looking to the floor.
"So, are you guys saying that she is…dead?" Cooper said with a crack in his voice.
"Yeah. I'm so sorry," Haley said.
"Guys, I need some time to be alone. Can you guys get out for a while?" Cooper said, not making eye contact.
"Sure, whenever you want us to come back, just send someone," Lucas said.
AN: Sorry for the no update. I was just busy with other stuff. I had nothing to do, since I can't watch the VMA's, so I just decided to write this. ) Hope you enjoy it.
