A/N: Thanks to my insomnia I started writing this last night around 2 am and I just got around to polish it up a bit. So please enjoy and don't forget to review! ;-)
HAPPY EASTER by the way!
Brooke and Peyton drove back to the house in silence neither of them knowing what to say. So each one decided to digest the news on her own but basically they were thinking the same. Both were worrying about him and wondered why he would risk having a heart attack. As they reached ther destination Peyton needed to know what Brooke was thinking.
„ you have been awfully quiet and calm about all of this! Why?"
„I was just thinking..." Brooke returned somewhat defensively.
„About what exactly? What do you think? You haven't even yelled or something!" Peyton tried to coax a reaction out of her friend.
„I don't know. I remembered high school and how he first told no one about his HCM and risked everything. And after the shooting he walked away from basketball..."
„And then he was allowed to play again but didn't take his medication during the final game and got a heart attack."
With that being said both girls thought back at the moment they had heard about the accident and that two of her friends, Peyton's boyfriend, at the time, were in the hospital and both seriously injured.
„I have kept quiet because I was, I am beyond shocked and I am scared he is going to die!"
„Oh no Brooke you can't think that! Don't speak out all the bad things that could happen!"
„ since then are you the optimist in this friendship?"
„I am not! I am scared and shocked too but I have learned to deal with it!"
„Ha ha ha!" the brunette laughed sarcastically.
„Hey lets just sleep over it one night and tomorrow we can meet with Haley and make a plan on how we are going to deal with this, OK?" Brooke offered and yawned.
„Deal Davis but only because you look like you could use some sleep!"
„You too Blondie. Good night!"
„Night!"
After that they went to their respective rooms and slept until the next morning.
After sleeping or better say shifting uncomfortably on the couch the whole night, Nathan got up around seven thirty and prepared a peace offer breakfast for his wife and son. He put a pot of coffee, some orange juice, waffles and eggs on a tray and carried it upstairs to the master bedroom. He entered the room as quietly as he could manage but with a tray in his hands it wasn't that easy and with the door falling shut Haley stirred awake.
„Morning beautiful. I made you breakfast. Bib to be exact."
„bib?"
„Breakfast in Bed! Service for Haley James!"
„Haley James Scott!" she accentuated the Scott.
"Thank you! But you didn't have to!"
„Oh yes I needed to do this. It is part of my apology for not saying something sooner!"
Oh yeah I nearly forgot. Thanks for reminding me.
„Oh no you don't get to apologize for this now! How could you let him join the team! You know how dangerous playing can be for him! Remember five years ago! He had a heart attack!" Haley screamed at him and he could see that she was at the verge of tears.
„Hales please don't cry. I only learned after he had already joined the team and I told him he was crazy for doing so but the doctor cleared him! So there can't be any danger right? I mean that person has a medical degree. That has to mean something!" he rambled somewhat nervous.
„NO!" Haley got furious and Nathan backed away.
„Why would you say that?"
„I did some research last night, while I couldn't sleep." the tiny brunette confessed.
„And?" her husband inquired."What did you find out?"
„That we have to make sure he takes his medication and even then he has a sixty percent chance of getting another heart attack if he works out to hard!"
Nathan sensed that she needed some sort of comfort and so he scooted up next to her and pulled her close.
„Shh! Hey I am going to make sure that he takes his pills and I'll keep an eye on his performance! We don't want the state championship part two!"
„That was so not funny but yeah we don't want him having another attack!"
„One thing is still bugging me though."
„And what is that?"
„The all clear from the doctor. I mean if the odds are really that bad against him, why would he be cleared to play?"
„Lucas told us he didn't mention his HCM remember? And if you don't look for it you don't find it!"
„But they found it in Dan!"
„Yeah he had a heart attack and they looked for an explanation that is why they found it but with the normal health exam no doctor could find HCM."
„But what about the drugs? They made me take a drug test!"
„Oh I don't know how he could trick that."
The couple was interrupted in their musings by a little cute boy who came bouncing in with the phone.
„Mommy. Aunt Brooke wants to talk to you!"
„Thank you baby. Daddy is going to make you breakfast!" Haley said and told Nathan with that indirectly that she wanted some privacy for the call.
„Morning tigger! It is early for you!"
„Yeah well I couldn't really sleep and Peyton is up too and we were wondering if we could meet up for lunch to talk."
„I'd like that!"
„So lets say we meet at one at that Thai place on market street?"
„OK see you than and say hi for me to Peyton!"
„Bye!"
After hanging up Brooke turned around to look at her blond friend.
„Haley says hi and she agreed to meeting us for lunch!"
„I kinda figured that one out when you told her when and where!"
„Yeah Missy! And now cut the sarcasm. Lets relax. I am going to go and take a bath."
With that Brooke skipped out of the room and left Peyton alone. As they say old habits die hard and so Peyton got up to her room put up some music and started to draw out her feelings. About an hour later she heard the bathroom door open and closing.
Brooke finished her bath! Three ... Two... One
And the door flew open.
„Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer! Please turn off that depressing music!"
„It is not depressing! It helps me think!"
Brooke eyed her friend suspiciously and tried to see how the blond in front of her was feeling if not depressed. That was when she spotted the notebook in her friends lap.
„You drew?! Let me see!" she snatched the book and looked at the comic strip. „Oh Peyton! Don't do that to you!"
„Why? You did it too!"
„But you told me that I shouldn't think about all the bad things, remember. And you were right!"
„I don't know anymore."
„OK Goldilocks now get into the bath, get cleaned up and put on some clothes." she paused for a second and than shook her head. „I lay you out something on your bed. You just go shower or whatever and than we are going for a walk and meet Haley!" the brunette commanded.
„Yes ma'am!" Peyton fake saluted and went to take her shower. Brooke took the strip and put it in her purse.
Haley needs to see this too.
A/N2: I forgot earlier I am no doctor and that for I made up the odds it is for story purposes. So don't kill me but if you know better. PM me! So any ideas on what Peyton drew? Tell me I have an idea but maybe yours are better. Anyways hope you enjoyed it. Even not much did happen.
Next up the girls ganging up and what does Jamie have to say!
