Hey it's me! If you want me to keep writing this can you please leave me review. It's starting to feel like I suck at this. So... yeah. For the people who have left a review... I love ya! Once again... I do not own One Tree Hill. But I wish I owned James Lafferty! LOL!

Mercedes POV

"Mercedes wake up."

I heard Brookes voice and I opened my eyes, I saw Brooke standing over me. I looked around and found myself in a hospital room.

"What happened?" I asked sitting up

"You passed out. How are you feeling?" She asked holding my hand

The image of my brother and the sounds came rushing back to me.

"Where's Q?" I asked looking up at her.

"He's in his room Mercedes, the doctor will explain the rest."

I looked over at the doctor who was standing on the other side of the bed.

"Q is still in intensive care Mercedes. We lost him for a few minutes but we were able to get him back." I buried my face into my hands and began to cry. "Because he lost so much blood his heart wasn't pumping it fast enough to replace it so it stopped., but he's ok now. We just have to watch him. But the good news is that he made it trough the night."

"Doctor Thomas please report to ICU immediately. Doctor Thomas please report to ICU."

"I have to go, but the nurse will be in to check on you soon."

With that he left and I turned to Brooke I could tell she was just as upset as I was.

"I almost lost him Brooke."

"I know we did, but we didn't he's still here with us."

"We? Us?"

"You know I love your brother Mercedes. I have since I met him, and you know this hurts me just as much as it does you."

"I know, and I know he loves you to Brooke."

I pulled her into a hug and the nurse walked in the room.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I need to know how you feel."

"I'm fine. When can I see my brother?"

"You can see him now if you'd like."

"Thank you." I said getting up and walking out with Brooke. I looked out a window and noticed the sun was coming up.

"What time is it?" I asked turning to her

"6:30"

"How long was I out?"

"A while"

"Obviously."

We got to his room and sat on either side of him. The nurse walked in and walked over to all the machines and wrote some things down. He left and Brooke laid her head down. I could tell she was tiered. She gripped his hand and it put a smile on my face. I remember when Brooke and I first met. We didn't get along at first but then we realized we had a lot in common, but there was one event that bonded us together. I would never forget that night and I know she wouldn't either. I closed my eyes and thought back to when Brooke and Q met. They like each other from the moment they met, I could tell, they flirted the whole time she was there and it wasn't until the night before she left that he finally told her how he felt. I remember Brooke walking into my room that night and telling me that he has told her he loved her. I thought that Brooke and Q made the perfect couple , but she has another life in Tree Hill and Q's life was in LA. My thoughts were interrupted when the doctor walked in.

"How's he doing?" I asked standing up.

Brooke walked up as well and walked over to us.

"His vitals are normal and we may be able to move him out of intensive care and into a regular room soon."

Brooke and I looked at each other and smiled.

"Well... when is he going to wake up?"

"That I can't tell you. That's really up to him."

"Time frame?"

"A few days, I'm not sure."

"Ok, Thank you."

He shook his head and walked out. Brooke and I returned to where we were and talked for a while. The morning passed and they moved Q to a regular room. Now all we had to do was wait for him to wake up.

Lucas POV

I woke up this morning worried as hell. Brooke hadn't called me and I was really worried something had happened. I went to school and saw Peyton and Haley and I walked over to them.

"Have you heard anything?" Peyton asked worried.

"No, I tried calling Brooke this morning and she didn't pick up."

"Well... What are we gonna do then?"

"Wait I guess."

She shook her head and I held her. The day passed by slowly and Brooke had still not called. I don't know how may times I had tried to call her and she didn't answer. The school day ended and I headed to basketball practice. When I got to the gym Whitey had just began calling out names.

"Lucas Scott!"

"Here!"

"Nathan Scott!"

"Here."

I could tell something was up with Nathan. He moved around the court like he didn't care and he wasn't very enthused.

"Tim Smith!"

"Here Coach!"

"Mercedes Davis!"

"She's not here Coach." I said running up to him.

"What? Why not?"

"Something happened to her brother and she flew out to Los Angles to be with him last night."

"Is everything alright?"

"I don't know. I've tried to get a hold of Brooke but I got nothing, so I'm waiting for her to call me and tell me what's going on."

"Well... Let me know as soon as you hear something."

"I will."

"Now... get back to suicides."

I ran back to the guys and began doing suicides. After practice was over Peyton and I headed to the café.

Brooke POV

"Hey Mercedes I got you something to eat." I said handing her a bag of food.

"No thanks, I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat something Mercedes, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon when we had lunch at school."

"I'm not hungry Brooke."

"Fine. But if you get sick it's not my fault." I said putting the bag on the table next to her.

"Later Brooke."

"Hey, I was thinking that we should go to your house and you know... take showers and do all that fun stuff. Besides I have to charge my phone because I don't have any batteries left and my dad could call."

"I can't Brooke, but... you should go take a shower and bring me back a change of clothes. Good thing you and me have the same phone, my phone charger is next to my bed and the car charger is in a box under my bed. How are you getting there?"

"Taking a cab."

"Ok, take a cab there but bring one of the cars back."

"What car?"

"Any of them, just pick one. All the keys are hung up on the wall in the kitchen so... have fun with it."

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll have a blast."

I walked out of the room and hailed a cab to Beverly Hills. When I arrived at the house I walked inside and ran upstairs to charge my phone. I plugged it in and found I had 23 missed calls. Most of them from Lucas but some of them from Peyton and Nathan to. I had totally forgotten to call Lucas back. I dialed his number and he answered.

"Brooke!"

"Hey Luke, it's me."

"What happened? Is everything ok? You were supposed to call me when you got there. How is she? Is she ok? How is she holding up?"

"Everything's fine, her brother is ok now and she's well... I don't know if she's doing to well. She's gone through a lot and she's weak. She's been trying to regroup but... she doesn't sleep, she doesn't eat, I don't know what I'm gonna do."

"God, I wish there was something I could do."

"Actually... there is something you could do."

"What? I'll do anything."

"I want you to come out to LA. I know she really wants to see you and maybe you can get trough to her."

"Brooke I wish I could but..."

"Luke... don't worry about the money, cause I know that's what your thinking about right now. I'll send Peyton the money." He didn't say anything for a moment. "Please Lucas!"

"Alright, I'll go."

"Great! I'll send Peyton enough for four plane tickets."

"Four?"

"Yeah. You, Peyton, Haley, and Nathan."

"Nathan!"

"I know you don't like him Luke but I know she would like him to be here."

"I don't think she would! He hurt her Brooke! Were you not here when the whole Nathan thing happened! I don't want him to be there Brooke."

"This isn't about what you want Lucas! This is about Mercedes and I know she want's him here. So maybe you should stop bitching about this and just support them. 'Cause whether you like it or not he likes her and she likes him. I know you want what's best for her Lucas, so do I. Did you ever think that maybe Nathan is the best thing for her?"

He stayed quiet, I knew I had made him mad but... he knew I was right. Nathan had feeling for Mercedes and eventually Lucas would have to accept that.

"Alright Brooke"

"Tell Peyton and Haley, I'll tell Nathan and tell Peyton I'll call her about the money."

"Alright."

"Bye Lucas."

"Bye Brooke."

I hung up the phone and finished doing everything else that I had to do. Then I was on my way to send Peyton the money.
