A/N: Hey guys, I first want to say a big thank you to those who left reviews. They were short but really meaningful to me so thank you. Lucasluvforever actually gave me an idea when she said she liked keep-going on a story and I started thinking about it trying to figure out if there was a way I could continue this story. This summer, I was in my pool talking about the news on TV. They talked a lot about kids drowning in their pools so we talked about that and what drowning was. I started thinking back about my one shot and the message I got from Sarah (thanks to you!!). I was thinking when an idea hit me right in the face and couldn't know why I haven't thought about it before. I think I'll make a story with songs like I did in the first chapter so this is a short part of what I thought. Just tell me if you like it and if you do, I'll keep going.

Enjoy! The lyrics are from 3 doors down "away from the sun"

Previously in One Tree Hill…

Help him Luke!

It's Cooper!

Nathan, go be with Haley!

Sorry mom…

Brooke…

We don't know if he's going to wake up. It seems like his heart and lungs suffered from the time we took to get him out of the water

Please Broody…I'm sorry! Don't leave me. Don't die on me!

Lucas, you awake?

I love you pretty girl…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done
I miss the life
I miss the colours of the world
Can anyone tell where I am

"I came back for you…I love you…pretty girl" Lucas whispered while Brooke was stroking his hairs back. He could see the tears forming in her eyes.

"Hey, don't cry! I'm okay now" he said.

"Yeah…" she whispered.

"Sorry for asking but, huh, what happened? I mean, what am I doing here?" he asked confused.

"You…you jumped in the river to get Nathan" she said trying her best to put a comforting smile on her face.

Lucas tried to put the pieces together. What was he doing at the river? Why was Nathan in the river? Why did he go after Nathan?

"Huh Brooke you sure?"

"Yeah why?"

"Why would I go get Nathan? I hate him!"

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

Brooke looked confused but she didn't ad anything. What was wrong with him?

"Luke, I'll go get a doctor okay?"

"Come back soon!"

She nodded and left the room. As soon as she spotted a doctor, she sent him to Lucas' room but she couldn't go back yet. She felt like something was wrong with Lucas. His last words kept repeating in her head. Why would I go after Nathan? I hate him!. She shook her head to wash this sentence away but it came back until she reached an examination room where Nathan sat, Haley holding her hand.

"Hey Brooke, how's Lucas?" Nathan asked.

"He's good. He just woke up"

"Really! Can I go see him?" Haley exclaimed.

"Sure" Brooke said giving Haley a hug before she left the room.

Nathan noticed Brooke's confused look and he couldn't help but worry that everything was not exactly okay with Lucas.

"Brooke, is everything ok?"

"Yeah…yeah" she said avoiding his eyes.

"Brooke, look at me in the eyes and tell me everything's fine". She looked up at him but almost immediately looked everywhere in the room. She couldn't say that everything was fine because she didn't even know if this was the truth. Lucas seemed distant like they hadn't live memorable moments together. Maybe he was still mad at her for yelling at him after he apologized for kissing Peyton in the library. Nathan noticed that she was bothered and tried to find the cause of it.

"Brooke, what's bugging you?"

"I don't know. Lucas is weird…"

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

Haley threw herself in Lucas' arms as soon as she entered his room.

"My god Luke you got me so worried!!" she exclaimed squeezing him harder against her.

"Hales, it hurts!" he said.

"Sorry…", she was definitely embarrassed but she had almost lost him.

She looked at him for a second. He was pale but applied a shiny smile on his face. She figured out nothing was wrong with him and Brooke was just being worried over nothing.

"I missed you" she said.

"Yeah…but considering our last conversation…" he said looking down.

"What!? What are you talking about?", she was definitely confused. The last conversation they had, he was telling her how much he loved her and that she would always be her best friend even if she was happy with his brother. What was he talking about?

"You know Hales…don't ask!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Last time we talked, you proposed to walk me down the aisle!"

"What?! Last time we talked we were in my room! What the hell is that aisle thing? You're not married!" he said picking his left hand. When he saw her wedding ring, his face changed and became darker then ever.

"It's Nathan isn't it" he spat with some much anger.

"Luke! You were there! You were Nathan's best men!" she cried.

Lucas shook his head. He looked at Haley with some much anger that he could've destroyed a mountain if he found one.

"What is wrong with you?" she asked, tears forming in her eyes.

"Do like you said the last time we talked" he spat.

"What the hell Luke?"

He was about to tell her to get out when Brooke walked back in with Nathan behind her. When Lucas saw Nathan with Brooke, his fists and his teeth clenched. Haley saw his look change and turned her head to see her best friend and husband.

"Guys, something's wrong!" she said with tears on her face.

"Yeah, something is definitely wrong! Nathan, what the hell are you doing here?" Lucas snapped.

"Watching on my brother…"

"Don't bother" Lucas spat.

"Luke what is wrong with you? Did your mood drown with you in the river?" Nathan asked with a slight grin. Lucas' eyes darkened and he sent him a dark glare.

"Nathan, get the hell out! I don't even know why you came in the first place but get out! You always despised me and what, now you want to be friends? Get out! Bring Haley with you!"

Brooke felt like Nathan was about to jump on Lucas for being such an ass to Haley but he didn't move. Instead of that, he stared at his brother with a worried and questioning look.

"What happened to you?" he asked in a whisper.

"You happened to me. Now get out!" he spat.

Brooke walked to Lucas' bed as Nathan and Haley left the room. Haley was crying too much to look back. Brooke was apparently the only one Lucas listened.

"What happened, Lucas?" she asked. "In the water…" she added.

"Actually, I can't remember anything. I only have a feeling that there's some part missing…" he admitted.

"Okay…" Brooke had a bad feeling but this couldn't be it, right? Right? "Luke, the last time we talked, what was it about?" she asked now wondering.

"Uh…we were walking and you said you loved and I was nervous and…"

"Wait…" she said. No, this can't be it! Please! She thought.

"Lucas, how much years of high school have you had?" she asked a really worried look in her eyes. Lucas was surprised of this question.

"Brooke, why do you ask me that? You're with me at school! What a question!" he said now confused.

"Lucas…" she started, "We're seniors…"

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done

"Brooke, we can't be seniors!" Lucas said.

"Lucas we are! And now Nathan and Haley got married again and that stupid Rachel stole their wedding limo and sent it in the river, taking Uncle Cooper with her. Then Nathan jumped but never came back, then you arrived and jumped…and you saved everyone! At least for now…Cooper's not good though…"

Lucas looked confused during all her speech. "Wait? Who's Rachel? And Cooper?" he asked.

"Rachel! That bitch who tried to sleep with you while we were dating!" she yelled.

"And Cooper…" Lucas wondered.

"Nathan's hot uncle!" she exclaimed.

"But I don't remember…"

"Lucas…"

"If you're right then, I forgot about my own life!" he said worried that Brooke could be right.


'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Brooke got Nathan and Haley to come back after explaining the situation. They also got the visit of the doctors. Lucas still replayed what he said, word for word, his in mind. "Mr. Scott, well it seems like the lack of oxygen had some consequences on your memory. This is definitely something rare but you got to understand that we were really close to loose you. You might recover your memory but the opposite is also possible. You might never remember what happened that you don't remember…"

Lucas shivered at the thought of never knowing what happened in his life. The things he learned at school, the friendships he developed, did he miss any drama. While the doctor had talked with Lucas, the others stayed in the hallway.

"Should we tell him about Keith?" Haley asked.

"Only if he asks…" Nathan said.

"I don't want to be the one to pop the news" Brooke said.

"Maybe we should just tell him the stuff he asks about. We don't even know what he does remember. What is his last day that he remembers?" Nathan said.

"Maybe he'll tell us!"

As soon as the doctor left the room, they all entered and sat in the room.

"So Nathan and I are friends huh!" Lucas said.

"Yeah Bro, since a year a half"

"Woa! This much! I don't remember…also that you and Hales got married twice!"

"I guess you two got close when we first wed" Haley said.

"What about Peyton?" Lucas asked having a pretty good memory of the last time they were together. He thought maybe Brooke found out with the dark look in her face.

"You remember kissing her?" Brooke immediately spat.

"In the library…" Lucas whispered lowering his head.

"I kinda forgave you two for that" she said.

"Just know that I regret with all my heart! I don't know why but I feel like it was terribly wrong and seeing the way you took care of me and that we seem to be dating. Just know Brooke that I love you! I really do! But I don't even know how much time slipped since the last memory I have…" Lucas said.

"What is it exactly" Haley asked.

"Well, I remember us fighting and me and Brooke at Peyton's then it's blur…"

"It's a long time ago! I don't even remember" Brooke said.

"Sorry we can't help" Haley said.

"So except for the weddings, what'd I miss?"

"My clothing line!" Brooke said fiercely.

"And Peyton's benefit concert" Haley said.

"And Haley was in it!" Nathan added after Haley.

"Really!" Lucas exclaimed. "Hales, I didn't know you were a singer!" he added.

"The hell of a singer" Brooke giggled.

"Dan was also set on fire!" Nathan grinned and knew it would cause a reaction from Lucas.

"Really! Is he dead?" Lucas asked almost praying for him to be.

"No…" Nathan whispered. "Sorry" he added.

"He also had a heart attack a year before that" Haley said.

"This guy is invincible" Lucas chuckled. "A plane could land on his head and he'd make it with scratches!" he added which made a wave of laughter in the pale hospital room.

"Where's Keith?" Lucas asked.

A heavy, awkward silence installed itself in the room. It was the question they all feared the most. When he left the room, the doctor told them to not reveal any bad memories that could hit even more. Lucas was weak and he didn't need that right now. How to say a thing like that? How could you possibly tell the kid that the man he loved most was killed? The news broke his heart when it happened. How could they break it again? Realising they didn't have the choice and Lucas' eyes only wanted more, the girls turned to Nathan.

"Uh, well…Lucas this is hard but uh…Dan thought that Keith was the main reason of his heart attack so he hired a girl to seduce Keith and then break his heart. It worked just as Dan had planed it because Jules, the girl, really fell in love with Keith and uh, you found out about it then you moved in with Dan and your mom was trying to find a way to bring you back home and Andy, your mom's boyfriend made an investigation and they found out about Jules and uh…well you know, finally Keith found out what Dan did and he packed his stuff and left town. He never came back…sorry" Nathan lied. When he thought about it, this wasn't really a lie. He just left the part where Keith came back, got engaged with Karen and then, died.

The girl realised what Nathan was doing so they just nodded. Lucas seemed to have a little trouble taking it all in then he whispered it. The clue. The thing that would tell them all what he remembered exactly.


Oh no...
Yeah...
I'm gone...

"Is my mom back from Italy yet?"
