I'm so sorry that it's late. I tried hard and also I'm sorry thats its so short. But I'll try to make them longer. Don't be too sad on this one.
:D Enjoy!
Brooke was nervous. She didn't even know why she was doing this as she pulled up to the two story. She stopped the story and contemplated just turning the car around and going back to Nathan and Haley but she had gotten on Haley for not agreeing with her, so she had to go through with it.
She sighed before she stepped out of the car and walked slowly to the red door. She climbed the porch steps and stopped at the door, breathing in and out. This was gonna be uncomfortable but she had to talk to him, even though she was still angry as hell at him.
She closed her eyes and took one last breath before opening the door and walking in. Her eyes opened and she saw something that shocked her. It was like the first time it happened. Lucas and Jessica, on his bed, kissing.
"Great!" Brooke yelled sarcastically. She turned to leave but stopped when she heard his voice.
"Brooke, wait." She turned around and waited for him to throw a shirt on.
"What?"
"What do you need?" The statement hurt her more than anything. What do you need? Like she was some cheap friend or something. One tear slipped down her cheek, not going unnoticed by Lucas and she covered it up.
"Nothing. I'm sorry I came." Running outside, she felt the rain come down and groaned at the perfect timing. She heard footsteps coming after her and turned around to be met with Lucas.
"Where are you going?" He yelled. She glared at him.
"Anywhere but here."
"But you must have come for a reason."
"Your right Lucas," she yelled. "I did!"
"Then what was it?"
She laughed. "You know, I actually came to talk to you but I find you with her again!"
"Were broken up."
She let the tears fall, knowing that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference in the rain. "You think that makes it hurt any less Luke?"
"Brooke, I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry that I came." She turned to leave.
"No, don't leave," he called when she reached the street.
"What do you want from me Lucas?" She yelled, her tears flowing harder as he got closer to her.
"I just need to figure out stuff."
"But why? Why when you began to date me? What did I do that made you want to do that? I know you and you wouldn't get so jealous over some stupid guy."
Lucas sighed. "Brooke, I just need to figure out my feelings."
"No, Luke figuring out your feelings wouldn't mean using me to see if you missed Jessica or not. Was all the stuff you said even true? Did you mean any of it?"
"Brooke, you know I did."
"Do I Luke? Because last time I checked, using someone is about as low as it gets. I can't even look at you anymore." She yelled through the storm. It was picking up and she was getting angrier and more hurt as the conversation went on.
"She's really not that bad. You could get to know her."
She laughed even harder, her voice barely audible in the rain. "You want me to get to know her? The girl you cheated on me with? Are you being serious right now?"
"Brooke, please just.."
"Just what Luke? Calm down? I am calm. Stop hurting? Not gonna happen. I told you that the one thing that I hate was cheaters and what do you do?"
"I know what I did was wrong."
"I can't believe I thought I loved you too. Unbelievable." Lucas paused when she said that. He knew right then and there that he ruined probably the greatest relationship he ever had and for what? A girl who would give it up quicker than a snap of his fingers?
"Brooke, I didn't know you felt that strongly."
"I thought you felt that way too, to be honest," she said, before turning around and walking down the street.
"Brooke!" She turned and found him staring at her.
"Don't walk home, I'll drive you.."
She cut him off. "Don't bother. Jessica's waiting." Brooke took off down the road. Lucas began to follow her.
"Brooke, come back here. You'll get sick."
"Like you care!"
"Brooke, I do."
"No," she yelled. "You don't or you wouldn't have gone off with that...whore!"
"Brooke!" She ignored him and kept walking. She was in the middle of the road when she heard the horn, but chose to forget it, thinking it was Lucas. The next thing she knew, her whole world went black and the last thing she heard was rushed footsteps and Lucas' voice.
Haley was pacing the lobby. After Lucas had called her and Nathan she rushed to her car, nearly leaving Nathan there. Peyton was sitting with Jake, tiny tears falling down her face and Nathan sat there with a blank stare, too afraid to say anything.
"Haley, why don't you sit down?" Nathan offered. She shook her head and continued pacing. Lucas sat there, not saying anything to anyone. He felt as though this was his fault and he knew it was. If he hadn't made her leave then maybe it wouldn't have happened.
"Brooke Davis?" Haley jumped at the doctor's loud voice but headed towards him immediately. He nodded at Haley and looked at his charts. "Family?" She nodded and he continued. "Well, there is minor brain damage and a broken rib and she seems to be in a small coma. We haven't woken her up but we've tried and she's not responding." At this, Haley's eyes teared up and Nathan walked up after hearing what was said, and hugged her tightly.
"Would you like to see her?" Haley nodded and detached herself from Nathan before heading to her room. Upon entering, she sighed and went to sit at the side of her bed.
"Hey girl," she tried enthusiastically. "You need to wake up. I need you to be here when I pop this little sucker out. Even though its not for a long while, thank god, he still needs his godmother. Yeah, thats right, your godmother and Lucas is godfather, of course. Oh, I wish you two could work things out." Haley laid her hand across Brooke's and felt more tears fall. "I miss you already and you haven't been gone for that long. You better not go away Brooke, your strong and you'll make it."
With that, she kissed her forehead and walked quietly out of the room and told Nathan to head in.
Nathan walked in and frowned at the girl on the bed. It didn't look like Brooke at all.
"Hey Brooke." Nathan avoided looking at her, knowing that it would break his heart even more to see his friend so vulnerable. "I hope you come out of this and hell, I know you will. You have too many people to take care of. We all love you Brooke." Once Nathan had gone, everyone went. Everyone went, except Lucas. He had left once Peyton had went in and Haley glared at him the entire time. She didn't understand why he wouldn't want to see her. She headed over to Lucas' after their hospital visit and she knocked on the door.
A tired looking Lucas answered the door. "You wanna talk?" He didn't say anything but let her in anyway. She walked in and sat on the lounge chair. "Lucas, why wouldn't you see Brooke? She needs all of us."
"All of you except me."
Haley stood up, confused. "What?"
"Its my fault Haley!" He yelled. "Its all my fault that she's laying there, so helpless."
"Luke, none of it is your fault. It was an accident."
"No, it wasn't," he argued. "If I hadn't been there with Jessica..."
"Wait, where with Jessica? At the house?"
"Yeah and.."
"She came to talk to you and walked in on you," she said as realization dawned on her. "You..I thought."
"I didn't even begin to think about her coming over. She was so mad at me."
"Yeah, me neither." Haley said before grabbing her purse and heading towards the door.
"Hales?" Lucas asked and she turned around, waiting for him to continue. "Do you think she'll wake up?"
"I do. She's strong Luke and maybe if you took the time to get to know her better, you would know that." She left after her last comment and Luke sat on the couch, his thoughts a big jumble as he tried to figure out everything.
Haley was back at the hospital that night. She couldn't seem to want Brooke to be alone, ever. She always imagined people coming out of coma when people they loved talked to them and she was testing the most likely unrealistic theory.
"Brooke, wake up." She had tried that line every other fifteen minutes. Watching the clock, she noted that it was nearly midnight. She sighed and stood up before smoothing out the sheets on Brooke's bed. "I'm calling your parents tomorrow and even though I know you won't like it, they are gonna come." She smiled. "I hope." She walked out and ran into one of Brooke's doctors.
"Haley right?"
"Yeah. Whats up doc?"
"Nothing, just going to check on Brooke. You know, its really great that you guys are here for her all the time. I just hope she comes out of it."
Haley smiled at him. "Me too."
Brooke: "And FYI, I am not your recycling bin!"
Lucas: "No, your psychotic!"
Sad : But it will get better. I hope! Kidding, it will.
Please Review, as always. Thank you! :D
