Nathan and Haley made their way back to the waiting room where their friends were waiting for them. Mouth, Rachel and Peyton were all sitting together, Karen on the other side and Lucas was standing alone in the corner looking outside the window.

"It's not much guys, but at least its something. We bought everything we could" Nathan said whilst him and Haley put the food onto the table. "Tuck in"

"Thanks you guys-I could begin to hear my stomach grumbling a little" replied Mouth

"Come on Lucas you need to eat something"

"Thanks but no thanks, I'm not hungry. But you guys go ahead" Lucas replied without turning his head over to the others. He wasn't hungry, in fact he wasn't anything. He just felt numb all over. All he had was the thoughts of his pretty girl, his Brooke, in his head.

"Son, you need eat something. You need to keep your strength up. If you don't look after yourself then how do you expect to be there for Brooke when she comes out of surgery?" Karen directed at her son, while putting a reassuring arm on his shoulder.

"Ok then, you're right. I'll have bit" and he walked over to the others.

Everyone was sitting down. The mood had changed a bit and everyone seemed a bit more optimistic. They were all taking about the stupid things Brooke had made them do over the last couple years. Even Lucas joined in and smiled for the first time since he arrived at the hospital. Then all of a sudden the door opened and everyone looked up. A doctor, wearing surgical robes, had just walked in.

"Who is here for Miss Davis?" he addressed the group

"We all are" Mouth responded

"Are any of you related as I can only speak to relatives of Miss Davis?"

"I am her guardian, so you can speak to me and everyone else here as well. They are like family" Karen quickly responded. Obviously she wasn't Brooke's legal guardian, but she felt like one, and the doctor needed not know that.

"Ok then. Brooke is now out of surgery. She had some internal bleeding, which is why she was taken into surgery straight away" everyone's eyes widened with fear. "It wasn't easy but we stopped it. She also has major bruising on her body, but that will subside in time" he continued on saying. You could hear the sighs of relief around the room.

"However, Miss Davis has also received a head injury from the impact. We won't know the extent of the damage until she has woken up unfortunately."

"Can we please see her?" Lucas asked hopingly

"She is in intensive care at the moment and she is asleep, but you can have a few minutes with her. And only two at a time please"

Everyone hugged each other. Yes they all knew she had a long way to go still, but the main relief was that she pulled through, and they would all be there for her to help her get through anything else.

"Do you mind if I just have 5 minutes with Brooke alone please. I just need to see her?" Lucas addressed to the group. They all nodded towards him and he said thank you.

He entered the room and just looked at the brunette lying on the bed. There were so many machines attached to her and he didn't like it. She was so still and peaceful. If it wasn't for the machines attached to her body you couldn't tell she had just had major surgery. He walked slowly towards the bed and sat on the seat next to her, pulling the seat closer to the bed. He put her hand in his, looked at her face, and thought even now after everything she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. And then that was it. An overwhelming feeling of relief, and pain and hurt took over him and he broke down, right then and there.

"Hey Pretty Girl. God I love you soo much. I thought I was going to loose you, I thought I would never see you again. I was so scared Brooke, so scared of never having you in my life again, and I just couldn't cope with the idea of it. I don't even know if you can hear me, but if you can then please understand that I am so so sorry for everything. I promise that when you wake up I will make it up to you. We are going to have a fresh start, me and you. I know you said that you needed a break from me, us, but I am hoping you will change your mind. And if you don't then it doesn't matter either, because I am going to prove to you that I am the guy for you Brooke Davis. I always have been, and will remain to be so until the day I die. I would do anything to hold you in my arms, to hug you, to kiss you. But all that can wait-the main thing is that you wake up and get better. I will get you back Brooke, just wait and see" and he got up and kissed her on her forehead.

There was a knock at the door and he turned around and saw Peyton standing there.

"Brooke I'm sorry. Please forgive me I didn't mean to hurt you. But please just come back to us. We need you, I need you" the blonde girl cried while walking towards the bed. "I don't care what you say but I will not give up on our friendship." She said whilst crying

Just then Lucas felt a slight movement in his hand. When he looked down he saw Brooke's fingers moving.

"Brooke, Brooke" he shouted. The others rushed in with the mention of Brooke's name. There was more movement coming from Brooke and all of a sudden her eyes started to flicker open.

"Brooke can you hear me?" Peyton said excitedly walking towards the bed.

"P.Sawyer?" she asked.

"Oh Brooke i am so glad that you are ok. We were all so worried about you" the blonde replied

Brooke's eyes opened slowly. She had a pounding headache and felt like she had been bruised. "Where am I? What happened?" she asked croakily

"You were in a car accident Brooke. You are in the hospital, but don't worry we are all here and you are going to be all right" Lucas replied with relief and excitement

Brooke looked up for the first time since her eyes opened and looked around at the faces who were all staring at her. She had a look of confusion on her face. She didn't understand what was going on. She pulled her hand away from Lucas. She gazed at him and asked the question "Who are you? I don't know you."
