Chapter 12
Brooke left Lucas' room to let the doctor check a few things. First thing she did was take out her cell phone and went outside to call a few people. First Karen.
RING! RING!
'Hello, Karen's Café'
'Karen? It's me Brooke. Lucas woke up.' Brooke said grinning.
'Oh my gosh! Ok I'm coming right over.' She said and Brooke could already hear Karen yelling to some people saying closing time.
'Ok, Bye.'
'Brooke?'
'Yes?'
'Thank you.'
'No problem.' And with that Brooke closed her cell phone, but only to open it again to call someone else.
'Hey B.Davis. Can't really talk…I'm busy' Peyton said and Brooke could hear her saying to someone to stop.
'Peyton, he's awake!' She squealed so loud that Peyton had to cover her ears.
'Ok. I'm coming over.'
'Ok, but you might as well bring Jake with you.'
'How did u---'
'Peyton, you're talking to Brooke. I know everything.'
'Yah…ok…see you in a few.'
'Bye.'
Brooke went back into the hospital and sat next to Nathan and Haley. They stayed a while in silence waiting for the doctor to come out of Lucas' room. Haley whispered something in Nathan's ear and he nodded.
'Um…Brooke there is something I—we want to tell you,'
'Um, ok.' Brooke laughed nervously.
'Well. Nathan yesterday night…he proposed to me…and I said yes.' She said and smiled at Nathan. Nathan took her hands and squeezed them. Brooke was still silent and Haley and Nathan didn't know if that was a good sign.
'Wow. But you guys getting married in High School? That's just not normal.' Brooke said with a laugh.
'We know, but we love each other and that all that counts right.'
'Awww-------Wait tutorgirl you're not preggers right?'
'Preggers?'
'You know with child!' She said as if she was explaining it to a two year old. Haley laughed.
'No don't worry, I'm not.'
'Ok, just making sure because you know he will always be a Scott.'
'Hey, that's not fair.' Nathan cut in and the girls just laughed. It felt good for Brooke to laugh. Just then Karen came in.
'Hey Brooke.' She said and went over to hug her.
'Hey Karen. We can't go to see him since the doctor is checking a few things.'
The doctor came out. 'You may now go and see him.' He said and smiled at the group.
'Well, nevermind.' Brooke said as she headed over to his room. They all went in and Karen was about to, when the doctor stopped her.
'Can we talk Miss Roe.'
'Yeah, sure. What's the matter?'
'Well…' He started
'Hey.' Nathan, Haley and Brooke all said at the same time.
'Hey.'
'How are you feeling buddy?' Haley asked as she sat next to him. Brooke sat on the other side and Nathan behind Haley. Before he could answer, the door opened and Jake and Peyton came in.
'Hey Lucas.' She waved to him and so did Jake. They grabbed some chairs and all sat near him. They caught him up on all the drama happening in school and everything else. Brooke got up.
'I'm going to go get some water, I'll be right back.' She said and kissed him on the forehead.
Outside his room she found Karen sitting on a chair crying. Brooke rushed over.
'Karen what's the matter?' She asked as she rubbed her back.
'It's Lucas. He has HCM.' She said and burst into more tears.
Brooke was afraid to ask, but needed to know. She had tears threatening to spill scared of what could happen to him. 'What is…HCM?'
Karen looked up and saw that Brooke was concerned and so she wiped her tears and explained. 'HCM is a heart condition...' She started.
Karen finished explaining again and now they were both in tears. They discussed everything from his medication to when they were going to tell him. They decided that it was better sooner than later so they headed for his room.
They opened the door and everyone looked to see who it was. Both girls had tear stained faces and everyone was scared to know what had happened.
'Can we speak to Lucas alone please?' Everyone nodded silently and left. "What could have had happened now?" Lucas thought.
'Lucas, we need to tell you something. This is going to hurt and Brooke and I will try to help you anyway we can…'
'What is it ma'?'
'Lucas…you have…HCM.' She choked out.
Dun...dun...dun..lol
