Lucas was sitting on a bench just outside the doors of the hospital where his wife was being treated. He felt tears slowly fall from his eyes. He hurt. He was hurting and he hurt other people. Brooke was his wife. She was his soulmate. Why had he done it? Why had he slept with Peyton? He was a husband. A father. He had the best family that he could have asked for. But he hadn't cared. He'd slept with Peyton, and he sucked.
He knew it was his fault. He knew it was the stress of the seperation that had made her so sick. Not to mention if he had been there to take care of his kids Brooke could've rested and would've been healthy by then. But he wasn't. He wasn't the person that Brooke deserved. The tears were now pouring from his eyes. He stood up suddenly. He was going to see her. He had to fix this. He walked purposefully through the doors and down the hallway to her room. She was perfect. Even lying in the hospital sick, she was perfect.
"Hey Brooke," he said quietly.
"Haley?" She murmured, slowly opening her eyes.
"It's Lucas."
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be out having sex with your office workers?"
"Brooke, I'm sorry, okay? I broke up with Peyton. I need you, I miss you."
"Shut up Lucas," Brooke said, quickly alert in her bed.
"No Brooke, I can't. I have to fix this."
"You can't Lucas! Okay? You cannot fix this! You made a choice. A conscious desision to sleep with Peyton. You should've known that as soon as that condom was opened, we were through. Now you need to leave. I have pnuemonia, and five kids at home that I have to take care of! I have to get better, and I cannot do that with you anywhere close to me! So leave!" Brooke screamed, her voice loud and raspy at the same time. She started caughing hard, then began to choke. The nurse came rushing in, knocking Lucas out of the way.
"You need to leave," the intern said, coming into the room.
"She's my wife," Lucas said quietly.
"Leave."
AN- Okay, I know that this is unbelievably short, but I'm sort of stuck, and I wanted to at least get something out for you. I have a huge favor to ask you. If you can, I would love for you to write a review or pm me and tell me if you want Brooke and Lucas to end up together or apart and if possible why. I think if I know which direction I'm headed, the update will come much faster and longer. Thank you so much, I really hope to hear from you!
