Sorry for not updating sooner but I've been really busy and had major writers block

Thank you to all of you who have reviewed and I'm trying to make the chapters longer but this is another short one! Sorry…but please still review

Lucas POV

When you know someone long enough you start to recognize their sounds. Like when Brooke comes into a room she doesn't walk, she bounces. And when my mom comes in you can never hear here. Even if she is late and in a rush it is like she always has this common courtesy to not disturb anyone. However when she came bounding into the hospital room that courtesy was the last thing on her mind.

"You knew about this heart condition and you didn't find it necessary to tell your own mother? And what kind of doctor wouldn't notify a parent about something this serious?" Karen's eyes looked as though they were about to bulge out of her head at any minute.

This was not what he was hoping to see at eight o'clock in the morning. His mind for the millionth time it seemed flashed to Brooke. She was probably just as mad as his mom was if not worse. At least his mom was here.

"I told the doctors you were in Italy. And I didn't tell you because I knew if I did you would be on the next flight out here."

"Well that was not your decision to make. I'm just glad you're ok now. Did you tell anyone else, like Brooke?"

Lucas shook his head.

"Where is Brooke,"

Brooke sat in her room considering her options. Yes, she was hurt that he had lied to her but if it were her in his position she would want her best friend there. But then again if he told Rachel about this heart and not her maybe they weren't as close as she once thought. Brooke quickly dismissed those ideas from her head and tried to think of something else. But she couldn't. Sleep seemed like the last thing that would come. She had to go see him.

Lucas looked through the necessities his mom had brought him and placed his ipod in his ears on shuffle. He chuckled. He hadn't seemed Brooke in a day and yet it seemed as though everything reminded him of her.

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say

Just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping inwards

You got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here.

"Knock, knock," Brooke nervously walked into the room glancing shyly around.

"Hey stranger," Lucas smirked. This was awkward. They were always so comfortable around each other and now it was like they didn't even know each other.

"How have you been?" Brooke lowered herself into the chair and finally glanced into his blue eyes.

"I've been better. But Brooke I really need to talk to about something."

Shit. He was going to tell her he wanted to date that bitch. Or that he didn't want to friends anymore….

"Brooke you've been my best friend forever." Lucas started unsure of how to put this. Being in this position made him realize he couldn't take anything for granted. He had to go for what he wanted.

"Yea…" Brooke blankly stared at him confused at where he was going with this.

"Well, what would you think if…"

"Lucas the doctor needs to speak with you." Karen walked into the room oblivious of what was about to happen before she entered. "Oh, hi Brooke, how are you?"

"I'm good Karen how are you?" While she spoke to Karen she was still trying to figure out what Lucas was talking out. But she was just as curious when the doctor walked into the room with a serious look on his face.

"Hello Mr. Scott. While everything seems to fine as long as you are taking your medication there are some complications……
