Chapter Eleven: One Question, Who Are You?

It's been three weeks since the accident. Brooke still hadn't woking up, but Rachel would stay by her side every moment she could. The only time they were ever apart was when Rachel went to school, or when she went home to change. Rachel left school early the whole week. She had to check on Brooke to see how she was doing. Her teachers understood and told her she could make it up if she did the class work and homework at home.

Brooke bruises were healing, her face swelled down and the bruises on her body turned from a dark purple to a light shade of yellow. Rachel at first thought it was gross, but the doctors explained that bruises were just healing. When Rachel found out people in comas was still aware of what went on, she started talking to Brooke more than she usually did. Sometimes she wished that Brooke would speak back, knowing she would have a witty remark to what's been going in school.

"Well today it was so funny, " Rachel lied in the hospital bed, next to Brooke. "We did cheer practice this morning and Bevin fell off the pyramid, it was so hilarious. She fell on the mat so she was okay, but she flashed most of basketball team because forgot to wear something under her uniform. I know, only Bev. Anyways the squad told me to give you their love and Haley said she will come and visit later."

Rachel sighed as she lifted up her head, she fluffed Brooke's pillow and pulled out a magazine from her book bag. She would read to Brooke everything that was going on, from Britney's comeback to supposedly failing marriage. Rachel put down the magazine, and closed her eyes.

"I was thinking about what you said the night of the accident," she said low enough for Brooke to hear, if she even could. "I wished we never moved here either because you would probably not be in a coma right now, fighting for your life. I just want you to talk to me like you used to. It's so strange not hearing your voice, Brooke. I miss you so much, you don't even understand. I never realized this until recently but you really are my best friend. So, come back to me. Please."

Haley knocked on the door after hearing Rachel's whole speech, she felt bad for the red head. She couldn't imagine what she would have done if it was Lucas or Nathan in that position, she could barely live with Brooke in that situation. When Rachel turned her head, Haley noticed the tears in her eyes.

"Oh sweetie," Haley walked over to Rachel, she wrapped her arms around her. "I see there is still no changes. She'll pull through Rach, I swear she will."

"I hope so," Rachel wrapped her arms around Haley. "So how was the rest of school? Did I miss anything good?"

"Well, nothing I am particularly happy about," Haley sighed, pulling out of the hug. "Nathan and Lucas got in to an argument in the school parking lot and let's just say Nathan said some not so nice things."

"Go Nate," Rachel smiled as Haley laughed and punched her in the arm. "I'm still mad at him. I mean it won't go away, not unless Brooke is alright. That's the only way he could even have a chance at forgiveness."

"It's pretty much the same with everyone," Haley nodded. "Lucas is still my best friend but it's going to take time for me to forgive him. I am pretty sure he not doing to well with this though. Karen and Keith really let him have it the night they came back from the hospital. Karen loosened up on him seeing how depressed he was becoming, but I still think she is disappointed."

"I kind of feel bad in a way," Rachel admitted crossing her arms. "Even though I think he deserves it, he is an outcast to the whole school. Not even Tim would talk to him and you know Tim worships the ground Lucas and Nathan walks on. Whitey demoted him, right? Or is Nathan just captain temporarily?"

"Whitey demoted him," Haley corrected Rachel, she ran her hand through her hair. "I remember when Lucas and I were freshman and he used to try so hard to be captain. He wanted to be on varsity his first year there. Of course he didn't make it but in sophomore year he did. Whitey was really impressed by him, then Lucas introduced Whitey to Nathan. He put both of them on varsity and made Lucas co-captain."

"Remind me of Brooke when she tried out for cheerleading," Rachel smiled, looking back at her best friend. "She wouldn't give up, she became captain her freshman year."

"They are alike," Haley pointed out as Rachel agreed. "Do you think she will forgive him?"

"Honestly?" Rachel asked as Haley nodded 'yes'. "I think she will eventually, it's just Brooke's nature. She may come off as bitch but she's not one. I am the bitch, Brooke is the sweetheart. If she loves him the way I think she does, her love for him will overcome this."

"So did you really mean the whole 'stay away from us' thing?"

"At the time, yes," Rachel thought carefully, she wanted to express her feeling thoroughly. "And right now, yes. In the future, I can't stop him from seeing her if he really wants to. Also pushing Lucas away will probably just make Brooke hate me. I can accept that if Lucas makes her happy, then she'll be happy."

"You're a pretty good god sister, Gatina," Haley joked shoving Rachel shoulder.

"Well, I've been hanging you too much," Rachel laughed, shoving Haley back.

"Something was bound to rub off right?"

"I guess," Rachel groaned, as Haley rolled her eyes. "No I am joking, you're probably the greatest thing that came out of moving here."

"Thanks," Haley smiled, she could tell Rachel was being really genuine. "I miss her, too."

Rachel smiled at the blond beside her, she looked back at the Brooke, lying on the bed. She leaned her head on Haley's shoulder, who began stroking her silky smooth red hair.


Lucas lied in his bed, he plugged his headphones into his ears. He began playing the song, 'For Blue Skies' on his iPod. It's been three weeks since the accident. He wasn't able to sleep ever since, mostly because he's been having nightmares.

The first week he had dreams about Brooke's funeral, every time he would get up to say something about her a certain red head would say it was all his fault. The second week was different, he began having dreams of the car crash. When the car stop flipping over he would look over to Brooke, who had blood streaming down her face. The words were always the same, "How could you do this to me?". The third week wasn't like the other nightmare, if anything it was a good dream, that why it was such a nightmare.

It was him and Brooke at school, they would sit at the round table with their friends laughing and smiling. Rachel and Brooke would have their silly banters, while everyone else sat and watch laughing. When lunch was finally finished, Lucas would walk Brooke to class. She would kiss him, tell him that she loved him and walked away. He wanted that back so bad, he would do anything for that.

Lucas heard a knock at his door, he unplugged his headphones and sat up. It was Karen, probably there to tell him about his latest punishment. She walked over to him and took a seat at the end of his bed, Lucas put his head down the same way he did every time Karen would talk to him ever since the accident.

"How you holding up, kiddo?"

"Not so well," Lucas answered honestly. "I've lost all my friends, my place on the team, my brother and my best friend won't even talk to me. It sucks."

"Well that's the consequences of your actions," Karen moved closer to him, she wrapped her arms around him for the first time in a long time. "Lucas, I love you so much. I am pretty certain your friends love you too, so they will be back. As for Brooke, that's probably going to be something you have to live with for the rest of you life."

"I know," Lucas looked up at his mother, his eyes filled with tears. "I'm so sorry, mom. You don't deserve to have such a screwed up son."Karen frowned as she pulled him in to another embrace, "Maybe not, but I wouldn't trade you for anyone else in the world. You may be a screw up, but you are the best thing that ever happened to me and don't you forget that. No matter what you do, I'm always going to be right there even if I don't support it."

"Thanks," Lucas smiled. "Mom can I ask you for a favor?"

"Depends, what is it?"

"Can you take me to see her?" Lucas voice was barely audible.

"I don't know," Karen didn't want to upset Rachel with everything she was going through. "It's the whole Rachel thing, I don't think she would want you to."

"Alright," Lucas agreed, he put his headphones back on.

"But you are suppose to see the doctor and that's final," Karen said to a confused Lucas. "Get dressed right now, Lucas Scott."

"What?"

"Don't talk back," Karen told him sternly. "You are getting that arm checked whether you like it or not."

Karen winked at her son. When Lucas finally realize what she meant, he got up from his bed and hugged her with one arm. "Now get ready."


Haley watched Brooke while Rachel went home to get a change of clothes. She was currently reading a magazine, but every time she would flip to another page she would look at Brooke hoping her eyes were open. She was disappointed every time. She sighed and continued to read the magazine. Nathan had called her earlier to tell her he was coming soon, he was at practice but he would still check up on Brooke everyday after he was finish.

Haley finally put down the magazine and walked over to Brooke, she grabbed the brunette's hand tightly and kneeled by the side of her bed. Rachel told her that talking to Brooke will probably help, she was willing to try anything to get her friend to wake up.

"Hey Brooke," Haley began not knowing exactly what to say. "It's been a while since we spoke, I remember the first day we met. I thought you were awesome because you put Lucas in his place, no one could do that and I am so glad that you did. Everything is so weird without you here, it's' all changing. We need you to come back. Please tigger? If you were wondering what that was, I made a new nickname for you. I love you, B. Davis."

Haley head tears streaming down her face. She heard a knock at the door and quickly wiped them away, she turned around and saw the last person she expected to be there, Lucas. She got off her knees and quickly stood up placing her hands on hips.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see her," Lucas replied in a hush tone. "I've been dealing this with for the last three weeks. I couldn't live with myself knowing out of all the time she had been in hospital, I didn't see her once. Please don't take this away from me."

"It's not really my opinion that matters," Haley shrugged. "Rachel told you to stay away, I think you should respect her decision."

"Haley, you have to let me see my girlfriend!"

"Your ex-girlfriend," she corrected him.

"I thought you out of all people would understand," Lucas began to raise his voice. "I told you that I had to leave her or Dan would have done worst."

"What is possibly be worst than lying in a coma?""Haley, just let me see her!"

"You lost that right," Haley began to shout back at Lucas. "How could you, Lucas? I thought you knew better than to drink and drive and now look what you've done. I think you should just--"

"Excuse me," they heard a raspy voice coming from the bed behind them.

The two teens, who were just arguing, turned immediately to the bed. Tears began to form in both Haley and Lucas' eyes, but Haley was the one to approach the bed first. She walked over to the brunette who had been in a coma for weeks. She hugged Brooke's fragile body, who looked a little nervous about embracing the blonde back.

"Brooke, I'm so glad your alright."

Brooke looked at Haley just nodding her head, she tried to speak but her voice was hoarse. Lucas grabbed a cup of water and handed it to her. Brooke slowly advance towards the cup, she gently took it from his hands. She took a large drink of water. When she was finish, Haley took the cup from her and placed it on the nightstand next to them.

"I just have one question," Brooke told the two teens who looked at her confused. "Who are you?"
