Chapter 9
They entered Lucas' room and tried all not to cry. He was really banged up. He had his leg up in a cast and he also had wrapping all over his chest from the accident, cuts and bruises everywhere and also another bandage around his head.
'Oh my gosh…' Brooke gasped. Again she was crying. She went on one side of the bed and held his hand while Karen hold the other. Keith watched both girls and also had tears in his eyes. Why Lucas? Why him? Lucas was a good person, and everything seemed to happen to him. At least that's what Keith thought. Lucas was a good guy but he had a pretty good life.
'Brooke we are going to go and leave the others come in to see him. You can stay if you want.'
'I am just going to stay two minutes and then I'll come and join you guys.' Brooke said and Karen and Keith left the room.
'Hi baby. I know you are sleeping right now but I just need to tell you something.' Brooke paused. 'I love you.' Just at that moment Lucas' eyes fluttered opened.
'Brooke…'
'Hey. How are you doing?'
'Better. I love you too.' Lucas smiled but soon that smiled faded when he went back to sleep, well at least that's what Brooke thought until some of his machines started beeping. She climbed out of her chair and call for a doctor. They told her to get out of the room and go back to the waiting room. Once she arrived back to the waiting room she had a stained face feeling guilty for everything that just happened.
'Brooke what happened?' Peyton asked as she say her friend.
'Lucas…he…woke…up…for…a…second…until…he…went……back…to…sleep...and…machines were…beeping and the doctors…' Brooke said between sobs. Peyton embraced her into a hug during she cried. Everyone heard the story and were now very scared.
'Do you know what happened?' Karen asked on the verge of tears. Brooke shook her head meaning no, still crying in Peyton's arms.
A doctor came up to them after a few minutes to tell them what happened.
'Lucas was just recovering from his surgery and we knew that this surgery may cause risks. Lucas fell into a coma because of the surgery and we do not know if he is going to wake up or not. Nobody can see him for about the next six hours. When you will go visit him you can speak to him but don't be surprised if he doesn't respond. I am really sorry.' And the doctor walked away. Everyone was crying now even some of the guys. They all decided that they should go home since they wouldn't be able to see him in the next six hours. They would try to get some rest since the next few days would probably be spent at the hospital but everyone knew that they wouldn't get any sleep with Lucas here in a coma.
