Hey guys, just a suggestion, it would be better if you read this chapter with the song "Far Away" of Nickelback or "When You're Gone" of Avril Lavigne in the background. It would be much more dramatic. This would make some of you cry, 'cause it happened to me. LOL!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chappie. Have fun reading.

LUCAS' POV

I opened my eyes but I can't seem to recognize my surroundings. Am I in a hospital?

"Wa…water," I said with a very raspy voice.

"Mr. Scott, glad to see you awake. Here's you water."

"Thanks. Where am I?"

"You're in a hospital."

"Why? What happened?"

"You've been rushed here because you suffered from an accident. You were hit- and- run by a truck. You had a few broken ribs and you were in a coma for 2 weeks."

"2 weeks?!"

"Yes. Is there anything lese you need, Mr. Scott?"

"Nothing."

"Ok. By the way, I'm Casey Walker, your nurse. Call me if you need anything. I'll be back later for my rounds."

"Thank you. Umm…Casey, is there a Brooke Penelope Davis rushed here too? I remember she was with me at the day of the accident."

"It's just a Penelope Davis here. Is she it?"

"That's it. What room is she in?"

"She's in the next room."

"Can I see her?"

"You are not allowed, Mr. Scott. You should be resting. I'm sorry."

"Please? I really need to see her."

"I'm really sorry. But rules are rules."

"You don't understand. I need to see her. She's my life. This may be the last time I'll be able to see her. And if I don't, I have no idea on how I will survive. There will be no reason to live if she dies. She has my heart. I love her. Just…just please let me see her."

"What the heck! Ok, fine! Just keep this as a secret. Let me go get a wheelchair for you."

"Thank you so much."

I wheeled myself to Brooke's room and saw the love of my life lying there in the bed, unconscious and lifeless. It brings tears to my eyes to see her like this. She has all these tubes attached to her and there's nothing I could do about it. I wheeled myself closer to her and held her hand.

"Brooke, I know you can hear me there somewhere. I just want you to know that I miss you so much. I don't even know how I survived the past 7 years without you. I'm sorry for all the hurt and heartbreak I've caused you. I regret it so much- everything I did that set us apart. I'm sorry for choosing Peyton over you. Peyton's nothing compared to you. I guess I was just confused because I thought you fell out of love for me."

"You were wrong Brooke. I have always let you all the way in but I was a jerk to not let you feel that. I'm sorry for making you feel insecure of Peyton. I guess I really have that hero –thing, that I was busy saving others from their mistakes that I failed to notice that you needed me too. It has always been you Brooke. I've always chosen you. Though I was with somebody else, my mind and heart are always with you and have been about you," By this time, I was crying because I'm angry at myself for letting her slip away.

"I love you Brooke. When I came to Tree Hill, I'm always the "loner." But because of you, I loved Tree Hill and you became the biggest part of it, just like what I told you before. You were always there when I needed a shoulder to cry onto. I miss your dimpled smile and those mesmerizing eyes that captivated my heart from the first time I saw them. Every day, it's like you are always there with me but I never see you. It got harder and harder each day to survive with you and your cheery attitude. When I was with you, I never felt nostalgic because your presence makes me complete. It seemed to me that time moves so slow that feel like the days turned into years without you. Whenever I'm in my room, your scent fills it and whenever I see my gray hoody, it always reminds me of you. My day was never complete because I can't hear your voice calling me "Broody" or "Boyfriend." Whenever I play basketball, I can't focus on the game because it always hits me that you're not there, cheering for me."

"I know you still love me. There are times that someone would call my house but no one is on the other line. All I hear is the sobs of a crying girl. I know it was you, Brooke. Even though you didn't talk to me, I know it was you. I hate to see you cry Pretty Girl. But because of me, you do. You don't know it but I also cry for you. I cry for all the things I did to you and I cry because I miss you so much. And right now, I'll do everything with all my heart and soul just to see you OK. Cheery, I need to feel you again. I need to know that you still love me. You have my heart Brooke. And with you in this kind of state, it's hard for me to breathe because you're not here, alive and well. Just give me a sign Brooke. Move a finger, shed a tear, just please, do something, anything to let me know you'll be with me again. I love you and any word just can't describe how much I mean it and how sorry I am for everything. Just…just please come back."

The tears just can't stop streaming down my face. I kissed her hand 'cause I'll never know when I will be able to do that again. I looked up to see her face and realized that she is still the same Brooke I fell in love with 7 years ago. There are also tears that are falling on her face. This is good news! It means she can hear me! She's responding!

My head suddenly shot up when I hear a machine buzzing and showing a flat line on it. NO! THIS CAN'T BE! BROOKE CANNOT BE DEAD! SHE WAS CRYING, WASN'T SHE? It's a good sign, right?! Then all of a sudden all the nurses and doctors rushed into the room, trying their best to revive Brooke. I don't know what to do! I was in shock with what's happening!

NO! MY BROOKE CANNOT DIE! I'm not afraid to face death as long as I'm with Brooke. At least I know that until the end, we fought together, for us. I might as well die with her if she doesn't survive. I wouldn't have it any other way!
