Chapter 11

Brooke yelled downstairs to the guys to get up here. By this time Karen and Keith were there they heard the yelling and went in and saw Nathan running up the stairs.

"Lucas, what is going on?" asked Karen.

"I don't know mom, Brooke just yelled for us to get up there." he told her.

The rest of them went up too. Haley and Brooke were sitting on each side of her.

"What happened?" asked Nathan as he was the first one there.

"Peyton's body went tense and she said she was in pain and just passed out." Brooke told him.

The others were upstairs now. Lucas went over to Peyton and gently shook her. There was no response.

"We need to get her to the hospital." Keith said.

Just then they hear Dr. Hanson yelling for them.

"We are up here." Keith said.

Dr. Hanson went upstairs and took one look at all the people in the room and at Peyton.

"Ok all the guys out, the girls can stay." he told them.

He walked over to Peyton and took her blood pressure which was through the roof.

"How long has she been unconscious?" he asked.

"She had a sharp pain and then passed out, maybe about fifteen minutes." Haley told him.

Dr. Hanson started to examine Peyton. He felt her stomach and the babies were kicking and moving which was a good sign. Peyton started to re-gain consciousness.

"Dr. Hanson what are you doing here?" asked Peyton.

"I came to see how things were going with you and Lucas and I find you out cold on the bed." he said trying to lighten the mood.

Peyton sat up and saw that Brook, Haley and Karen there. Peyton was still a little out of it.

"Peyton, I can only image how stressful this morning has been for you so that is what I am going to attribute the high blood pressure too." "You can't do this to yourself." "Those two little lives are depending on you." "I know this has not been easy on you but you are doing the right thing here." "Lucas needs to know everything now it will be hard and strange for awhile but from what I have heard of the love you two have for each other can with stand the test of time." Dr. Hanson told her.

"How is she doing?" "What can we do for her?" Karen asked.

"She is very stressed right now and that is understandable." "She needs rest; I have a feeling she did not get any sleep last night." Dr. Hanson said as he looked at Peyton.

"I am going to give Peyton something sleep then I will be down and we can talk." Dr. Hanson told them.

"No argument I am giving something and you are sleeping." Dr. Hanson stated.

Dr. Pete Hanson had become part of this close knit group he has been there since the beginning of it all.

"First of all I don't know what happened here but I do know it cannot happen again." "Peyton's stress level can't take anymore her blood pressure is in the danger zone for someone who is pregnant." "Second of all Lucas it is about time you found out who you really are; I was taking it slow but that is not working." "So we are taking a new approach." Pete said.

"Pete what can we do to help Lucas remember?" Keith asked.

"You need to tell him all about his life, the good, bad, and ugly." "He needs to it all." he told them.

."Luke you need to tell us what happened here this morning." Pete said.

"I was upset by the time I got here after hearing the conversation that Brooke and Peyton were having." "I guess I was acting like a jackass screaming for her to let me in." "She let me in and all I could feel was anger; I wanted to know what happened to her." "How she got be pregnant, if someone had attached her." "She told me no but she then she said I was the father." "I did not believe her, I told I would not do that to Brooke again." Lucas told them the rest of the story.

Brooke walked over to Lucas and sat down next to him.

"Lucas, everything that Peyton has told you is the truth." "I am together with Julian not you." "Dr. Hanson thought it would be better if you believed we were together but now we know that was not the right approach." "I am so sorry Luke." Brooke told him.

"No Brooke you are lying you would not do that." "I trust you." Luke said.

"Luke why don't you and I go to the river court and shoot some hoops, we can talk there." Nathan said.

"That sounds like a great idea mind if I join you?" asked Keith.

"I do not have a problem with that." stated Nathan.

"How about you Luke do you have a problem with it?" questioned Keith.

"No." said Luke.

Nathan went over to Haley and asked her to call the guys and tell them to go the river court. Nathan is hoping that them playing basketball and talking to Luke about his life that maybe it will trigger something. When they got there Skills, Mouth, Furgie and Junk were there. Just waiting for them.

"Hey, Luke how you doing man?" Skills asked.

"Finding out a lot of things about myself." Luke said.

Mouth walked over to him and gave him a man hug.

"Do you remember the first time you brought me here Luke?" Mouth asked him.

"No, I don't." Luke said.

"We were kids and you came to shot hoops and I sat down on the picnic table and started to announce every play you made." Mouth said.

"Come on Luke you gotta remember it." said Mouth.

"Luke, do you remember what happened with Derrick and Peyton? asked Skills.

Lucas closed his eyes as he started to remember about psycho Derrick. He opened his eyes as the memory it him fully.

"Oh my God, I do he was a psycho alright he tried to…Peyton and he attacked me and then Peyton's real brother showed up." Lucas told them.

"That right." "Do you remember anything else?" Nathan asked.

Flashes of memories of Lucas's life were running through his mind so fast he could not process everything. Some of the things that Dan did he was remembering. He then got a horrific look on his face as he remembered the school shooting.

"Luke you ok?" Mouth asked as he saw the look on Lucas's face.

"Was there a school shooting were Peyton was shot?" asked Luke.

"Yes, Luke there was do you remember anything else about that day." Nathan asked/

"You and I went into the school you looking for Haley and me for Peyton." We some blood on the floor you went to the tutor center I followed the blood trail to the library." "That is where I found Peyton afraid and bleeding." "That is the first time she told me she loved me and then kissed me." "Keith you were there you stood in front of us and Jimmy Edwards so I could get Peyton out." Lucas told them.

"Yes, Luke you are right I was there and did that." said Keith.

Lucas went on and told them many more things that he was starting to remember. Lucas looked around at his friends and yes he was remembering as his friends. Look got the horrified look on his face.

"Oh my God, Peyton is telling me the truth." Lucas said in shock.
