No Happy Ending or Maybe So

Ch. 7- The Wreckage

Peyton, Julian, Julie, and Brody had been rushed to the hospital immediately following the accident. Their conditions were unknown.

Although Ethan was supposed to be going on his honeymoon one of the doctors from the hospital called and told them Peyton and her family had been brought to the hospital by ambulance. The doctor had been at the wedding and knew Peyton was Brooke's maid of honor. Ethan and Brooke rushed from the airport to the hospital. Ethan tried to calm Brooke's nerves, but she was a mess.

When they got to the hospital they were met my Haley and Nathan. Brooke had called them on the way to the hospital. She had also tried to call Lucas, but he didn't answer.

Brooke was shaking, "Haley how are they"

Haley shook her head. She had also been crying. "I don't know they won't tell me anything"

Nathan was rubbing Haley's shoulder trying to console his beautiful wife. "Why don't we go sit down and wait for Ethan to give us some information"

"She's got to be ok. I can't lose her Nathan" Brooke said as tears ran down her face. Nathan let go of Haley and pulled Brooke into a hug.

"It's going to be ok. Everything is going to be ok" Nathan didn't know if things were going to be ok, but he wasn't going to let Brooke think any different.

They were in the waiting room. Nathan and Haley were sitting down, but Brooke was pacing back and forth. Haley really thought she was going to wear a whole in the floor. Ethan came in and Brooke froze. She couldn't read his face, and she didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. "Ethan" She said her voice breaking. Nathan and Haley walked over to where they were standing.

Ethan prepared himself to give her the news. "The wreck was pretty bad. Julian and Julie were on the side that was completely smashed in. It took paramedics a while to get them out."

Brooke interrupted, "How are they Ethan?" She demanded to know.

"Brody is going to be fine. He was a lucky little kid just a few scrapes and bruises. He is asleep right now, but I think one of you should sit with him. He is probably going to be really scared when he wakes up" Ethan cleared his throat as he tried to continue but again was interrupted by Brook.

"How are Peyton and the baby? She's pregnant Ethan" Brooke said hoping that her best friend hadn't lost her baby.

"As of right now they are fine, but any kind of stress put on Peyton could make her lose the baby. We are monitoring her blood pressure and the heart rate of the baby. Peyton also broke one of her arms in the accident, but other than that she will be fine…if she doesn't stress or get worked up"

"You can't let her lose the baby. You have to take care of her" Brooke was shaking. She couldn't imagine what would happen to Peyton if she lost the baby. "What about Julian and Julie? They are going to be ok too right?"

Ethan was silent.

"Ethan" Brooke looked worried.

Haley finally spoke "They're not" but she couldn't finish the sentence. Nathan pulled her closer to him as they awaited the news.

Ethan shook his head "They both need surgery. Julian is in pretty bad shape and they are prepping him for emergency surgery as we speak." Ethan took a deep breath "Julie lost a lot of blood."

"Ok" Brooke said. "Is she ready for surgery?"

"We haven't found a blood match yet. She has a rare blood type, but we're looking Brooke" Ethan informed her. He touched her arm trying to console her.

"What about her parents?"

Ethan didn't want to say anything in front of Nathan and Haley so instead of telling the truth he lied. "Well since they are hurt we can't use their blood"

"Oh" Nathan said "Maybe one of us are a match"

"Yeah" Haley said.

"Can I see Peyton?" Brooke asked.

"Yeah I'll take you back there" Ethan took a hold of Brooke's hand, and Nathan and Haley sat back down.

When they were finally out of earshot Brooke stopped Ethan "Julian not a match is he?"

"No"

Brooke sighed "I've got to talk to Peyton" She realized that Peyton had been lying to her for four years.

When Brooke walked into Peyton's hospital room her heart dropped into her stomach. This wasn't supposed to be how their day ended. Everything was supposed to be good and happy for all of them instead all the day brought on was pain. Brooke walked over to Peyton's bed and took a hold of her hand. Peyton was attached to every type of monitor possible, and she had cuts all over her face. "Hey Peyton"

Peyton moved her hand a little bit, and slowly opened her eyes. "Brooke"

Brooke smiled and tears came out of her eyes. Her friend was so fragile, and she didn't want to have to tell her about Julian or Julie. "What happened" Peyton slowly said. She then realized she was in a hospital and touched her stomach. "My baby"

Brooke tried to keep her calm "No, no, no Peyton your baby is fine. It's fine. You have to relax and stay calm"

Peyton relaxed a little and then thought about her other family "What about Julian and the kids" Peyton had tears in her eyes as she remembered the truck hitting them.

Brooke didn't want to upset her, but she couldn't keep it from her "Julian is in surgery right now, but Ethan is sure he is going to be fine" She lied. "Brody is fine too. He's sleeping." Brooke went silent.

Peyton was worried about her little girl "What about Julie?"

Brooke took in a deep friend and held her friend's hand tightly "She lost a lot blood Peyton. She needs surgery"

"Ok" Peyton had tears in her eyes but tried not to panic because she knew it wouldn't be good for the baby. "When are they going to do the surgery?"

"Whenever they can find a match, she has a rare blood type." Brooke said knowing that Peyton already knew that.

"Lucas"

"What?" Brooke questioned

"You should call Lucas and tell him to come to the hospital and give blood. I know he'll be a match" Peyton said quenching from the pain she was in.

"Peyton"

"I know he'll be a match, and you know it too Brooke. Just look at her, she has his eyes" Peyton admitted. She was finally telling Brooke the truth after four years. She had promised herself that she would never say anything, but she was afraid that she would lose Julie if she didn't.

"I'll go get Lucas. You stay calm ok Peyton. Everything is going to be ok" But Brooke knew that nothing would ever be ok for any of them ever again. The truth was finally going to come out.

"Hurry Br…" But Peyton couldn't finish her sentence as she started grabbing her stomach in pain. "Brooke get help" she could barely catch her breath "Oh ah…My baby" Brooke ran out of the room and doctors swarmed Peyton soon after. They asked Brooke to leave.

Brooke left the hospital to find Lucas. He wouldn't answer his cell phone, and she was getting pissed. She didn't know why people even had cell phones if they weren't going to answer them. She got to his apartment and pounded on the door. "Lucas open the damn door" Brooke demanded.

He finally came to the door, and he was a mess. "What?" he said angrily.

"You've got to come with me to the hospital"

Lucas looked at her and could tell she was crying. He was also surprised to see her because she was supposed to be on a plane. He knew that something was wrong "What happened"

"There was an accident. Peyton and her family were in a car accident. You need to come to the hospital." Brooke had tears in her eyes because she was so scared of what might happen.

Lucas was shocked. His thought his heart had stopped beating for a moment. "Are they ok?"

"Brody is fine. Peyton might have lost the baby. I'm not really sure she started having a lot of pain, and then I left to find you. And Things aren't looking good for Julian" Brooke stopped for a moment to catch her breath. Lucas had wanted Julian out of the picture, but he didn't want him to die. "He is in surgery, and Julie needs surgery too."

"Oh" Lucas definitely did want anything to happen to that beautiful little girl he had hoped was his ever since he had met her.

"She lost a lot of blood. That's why I'm here. They are asking everyone to come and donate blood to see if they are a match. I'm gonna donate, and I was hoping you would too" Brooke couldn't tell him that he would definitely be a match because he was her father because it wasn't her place to tell him that. Peyton was going to have to tell him. "Will you come with me?"

"Of course I would do anything for Peyton. You know that" Lucas said. He loved Peyton, and although he didn't know the little girl he loved her too. "Let's go" Lucas and Brooke walked out of the house.

Brooke and Lucas both donated although Brooke knew she wasn't a match. They went back to the waiting room to be with Nathan and Haley, but Haley was sitting with Brody.

Lucas rubbed Brooke's back to calm her nerves. He knew that she was scared.

Ethan entered the waiting room with a look of despair and sadness on his face.

Brooke turned as white as a ghost. She knew that Ethan didn't have good news for her. "Oh my God"

Ethan shook his head "I am so sorry Brooke" Lucas and Nathan both stood up and held onto Brooke. This could not be good.
