Chapter one: Waking up in a brand new world

Lucas and Peyton were driving home from a double date with Nathan and Haley.

"Oh, Luke, I love you. We have two wonderful kids and after the movie from 4 years ago, we can afford a new house."

"Peyton, I love you too, but I grew up in this house. Besides if Mom comes to town…"

"Luke, she hadn't been here since our wedding!

"Peyton ,hun please, let's not fight."

"We are not fighting we are arguing."

"What is the difference?"

"The difference is that I am making a point here and you are rejecting it."

"So, your point is that we should leave Tree hill and all of our friends, just to buy a new house. I grew up in this house, Peyt. It means a lot to me."

"Lucas, you were an only child with one parent. We are two parents with two kids! Where exactly are we going to put our kids when they grow up? We need a bigger house."

"Well, I don't know. Let's not move yet!"

"Lucas!" yelled Peyton.

"What now?"

"Look out!" yelled Peyton, as the car was about to hit a reindeer, Lucas turned wheel to right, and the car crashed into a tree.

Lucas hardly opened his eyes. His body ached and he could feel the blood steaming from his forehead. He couldn't get up. Seeing Peyton bloody and unconscious next to him, he whispered:

"Peyton, honey, Peyton! Wake up!"

But Peyton didn't move. Lucas felt his eyes were getting heavier and heavier and he lost consciousness.

Meanwhile Nathan and Haley were in their car getting home.

"Do you think Lucas and Peyton got home alright?"

"I don't know!" said Nathan, and in that second they saw car crashed into a tree.

"Oh, my god. Nate… isn't that their car?" asked Haley.

Nathan stopped the car and ran towards the wrecked car. He saw his brother and Peyton unconscious in the car.

"Lucas! Peyton! Haley call 911!

Nathan opened the car and tried unsuccessfully to wake Lucas and Peyton.

"Come on, guys, wake up."

But there was no reaction from any of them.

10 minutes later the ambulance came and the paramedics asked:

"What are their names?"

"Lucas Scott and Peyton Scott." said Nathan.

When they put Lucas and Peyton in the ambulance, Nathan and Haley drove after it with the car.

When they arrived, the doctors told them to wait in the waiting room.

Nathan pulled out his cell phone and dialed Brooke.

"Hey, Brooke."

"Hey, Nate, what's up?"

"Lucas and Peyton are in the hospital."

"Oh my god, what happened? I am closing the shop right now and I am coming right there."

About 20 minutes later, Brooke entered the hospital and asked Nathan:

"How are they? Are they okay?"

"We don't know. They are still in surgery."


It had been two hours. Two long hours in which two lives were in jeopardy. Nathan was losing patience..

"Where the hell is the damn doctor?"

"Nate, please calm down."

"Calm down? My brother and my sister in law had been in there for 2 freaking hours. I can't calm down."

"You aren't helping them by yelling. Please sit down and relax."

The doors of the one of the surgery rooms opened and a doctor came out of there.

"Anyone here for Peyton Scott?"

"Yes." Said Nathan.

"I'm sorry, sir, she lost a lot of blood, and we couldn't save her.

"And Lucas?"

"I don't know. I'm sure they are going to tell you."

Nathan sat down and sighed. His sister in law was dead. He knew that Lucas wasn't going to react good at this.

"Who is here for Lucas Scott?" asked another doctor.

"I'm his brother. How is he?"

"Your brother lost a lot of blood. His heart stopped, because of his HCM. However, we were able to revive him. Other than that he has a mild concussion, a broken arm and a few broken ribs. Right now, he is stable and in recovery. He will be out until morning."

"Can we see him?"

"One at the time. The nurse will show you the room."

"I will go stay with the girls. I have key from his house. They have been with a nanny long enough. Nate, go home and get some sleep. Brooke, you too."

"No, not until Lucas is awake." Said Brooke

"The doctors said he will be out until morning."

"Well, someone has to stay here."

After that Nathan and Haley left the building.

Brooke entered Lucas's room and sighed. This moment reminded her of a similar car accident in their junior year. She sat in the chair, knowing how hard the next few months will be to Lucas and whispered:

"Don't worry, Luke, I'm here for you."

Brooke didn't notice when she had fallen asleep. She was awoken by a familiar groggy voice.

"Morning, Brooke."

"Oh, hey."

"What happened?"

"You had an accident."

"How is Peyton?"

"Luke, Peyton….didn't make it. You almost died too. You had a heart attack during the surgery."

"What, Peyton is dead! No… no…. you are lying." said Lucas.

"Lucas, calm down."

"No, Peyton…. she isn't dead. It can't be!" screamed Lucas.

One of the nurses heard the screams and stormed into the room.

"Mr, Scott, calm down."

In that moment Nathan, Haley, Jamie and the girls entered the room.

"What's going on?" asked Nathan.

"I told Lucas that Peyton is dead and he freaked out."

Nathan sighed. He knew Lucas would react that way.

"Luke, you need to calm down!" said Nathan. "Otherwise, you risk triggering another heart attack."

Lucas seemed to be calming down. He breathed very hard, but at least he was calm.

"Is she….really….dead" whispered Lucas.

"Yes."

"It's all…my….fault." said Lucas.

"What, what do you mean. Lucas, it was an accident."

"I…couldn't…. save…her.' said Lucas.

So, I think this is enough for a first chapter. So, do you like the idea? Shall I continue?

Next time: It's three weeks later, Lucas is out from the hospital, but he still blames himself for Peyton's death. Everyone is there for him, but he pushes everybody away including his daughters.
