Hey, here's another update for ya's!!!
-Chapter 6-
We Eventually Get Through The Bad
Previously on "The Not So Perfect Life"...
Ok...Lucas, I lied to you. Actually, I didn't lie as much as I kept something from you...I'm 5 months pregnant and I didn't tell you, I couldn't te-"
Lucas looked at Brooke's stomach confused. All that time he didn't even notice she was pregnant, she was wearing baggier clothes, but still, he should have known. "What?" he asked, very scared.
"Lucas, I'm sorry, you have a future in basketball to look forward to and I didn't want to get in the way of that...and I thought if I told you I would just be like your mom, left with a kid because the guy didn't want anything to do with it."
Lucas just starred off at nothing, not even saying anything at all.
"I'm gunna go, bye, Lucas..." she said, crying, walking out of the room, leaving Lucas just to sit there and stare at the wall.
After Brooke left, Peyton came up to her bedroom to check on Lucas.
"Are you ok?" Peyton asked, sitting beside him.
He sat there for a second then looked at Peyton. "Brooke's pregnant, 5 months pregnant."
Peyton hugged him with a shocked look on her face and he just broke down on her. "What am I going to do?"

On the way home, Brooke could barely see where she was going because she was crying so hard and the fact that she had so much going through her head at the moment, didn't help much. "What's wrong with me? How could I let my life get so messed up?"...Brooke looked to her left and then to her right so she could turn and then out of nowhere a semi came right threw the intersection. "Ohmigod!" she screamed. It all happened so fast she couldn't even do anything about it, then everything went black.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Omigod!" Rachel screamed. Luckily she was on her way home when the accident happened. She ran to Brooke's car because she new it was her's, and got her out of there really fast. By then, a crowd of people formed around the scene and about 3 minutes later an ambulance came rushing down the street.
On the way to the hospital, in the ambulance, Brooke finally regained consciousness. "Where am I?" she asked, weakly.
"It's me Rachel, your in an ambulance because you were just in an accident." she explained, while a doctor was looking Brooke over.
Right then, Brooke remembered everything that had happened in the last 2 hours. "Rachel, please don't call Lucas."
"But Brooke-"
"No, he can't know, because I just told him about the baby." Brooke said, barely getting it out. "If he knows I'm hurt...he'll just except everything because of that...and we can't live a lie."
Rachel just looked at her, thinking about it.
"Rachel." Brooke said, in a panic. "How's the baby?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Everything is going to be ok, Lucas." Peyton said, letting go from the hug.
"I better go." he said, getting up.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Peyton asked, concerned.
"No, I need to be alone for while." he said. "I will call you later."
Peyton sat there, feeling very sorry for him. She wasn't mad at Brooke for doing that to him, she was just confused.
Ring, ring...
"Hello?" Peyton asked.
"Hey, this is Rachel."
"Rachel?"
"Yea...I know this is weird...but I thought I should call and tell you Brooke has been in an accident." she explained.
"What?" Peyton asked, standing up quickly.
"It's ok, she's conscious...they just...maybe you should just come down here."
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."
"Peyton, one thing." Rachel said, before hanging up. "Don't tell, Lucas, not just yet."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the hospital, they were making sure Brooke was going to be ok before they started checking the baby, they wanted to make sure she had a few people there for her if the baby wasn't going to be ok.
The doctor came into Brooke's room. "Hi, Brooke, how are you feeling?"
"Really sore, is my baby ok?" she asked, getting a little mad that they weren't telling her anything yet.
"Brooke, your just going to have patients." the doctor said. "Now more importantly...your going to be fine, you just have a broken wrist and a lot of bruises, but in time that will all heal."
Knock, knock. Rachel, Peyton and Haley walked in, Peyton called Haley. "Is she going to be ok?" Peyton asked, scared for her best friend.
"Brooke will be fine." the doctor said. "Now since your all here...I would like to do some things to see if the baby is ok."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lucas went where he always goes when he needs to be by himself, the River Court. Unfortunatly, he wasn't alone, Nathan was there, too.
"Hey, man, you look like crap." Nathan said, sinking a basket.
"Yea, well, I didn't just get the greatest news." he said, picking up the ball.
"And what news was that?" Nathan asked, more nosy than concerned.
"Brooke...she just told me she was pregnant." he said, quietly.
"Oh, man, I'm sorry." Nathan said, surprised.
"I just...I don't understand why she couldn't tell me." he said, getting mad. "She kept this a secret from me for 5 months!"
Nathan almost choked on his water when he heard that.
Lucas continued. "She obviously doesn't know me that well if she didn't know that she couldn't come to me with something this big."
"Maybe you shoud be telling her this stuff." Nathan said, but Lucas completely ignored him.
"Like...she wants us to have a trusting relationship, but then she lies for 5 months about something so big!"
"Lucas-"
"Maybe I should talk to her about this." Lucas said, not even knowing that Nathan already told him that. "Yea, I'm gunna go talk to her about this, bye Nate."
"Bye." Nathan said, confused and wondering if he even had any part in that.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back at the hospital, the doctor came back in the room with the news.
"Brooke." the doctor continued. "The baby is going to be fine."
"Oh, thank god." she said, relieved, it was just as if a weight was lifted off her chest. She didn't want a baby at first, but still, if anything everhappened to the baby, she would feel responsible and it would still hurt because it was hers.
"See, Brooke, everything is going to be ok." Rachel said, hugging her.
"Yea." Haley said, also hugging her. Peyton wasn't really sure what to do...so she just stood back for a while.
"Hey, guys, can I get a second with Peyton, please." Brooke asked.
"Sure, Brooke, we'll just be outside." Haley said.
For a couple seconds there was nothing but silence.
"So, the baby's fine, that's great, Brooke." Peyton said, a little uneasy.
"Peyton, or sorry for everything." Brooke said, weakly.
"Brooke, its ok."
"No, it's not ok, I've been ditching you and just not being a very good friend for the last 5 months." she explained, almost crying. "I just didn't want you to tell Lucas."
"Can I ask you why you didn't tell Lucas?" she asked, a little confused.
"I didn't want to ruin his life and I didn't want to end up like Karen...when the baby was born I was going to give it away." Brooke explained, letting the tears fall.
"Brooke, you should have known Lucas wouldn't have left you if you told him you were pregnant." Peyton said, raising her voice a little.
"Don't yell at me now, Peyton, please." Brooke said. "I just wanted to apologize."
"Sorry." she said, sitting on Brooke's bed. "Brooke, I missed you."
"Me too, come here, P. Sawyer." Brooke said, pulling Peyton into a hug as best she could.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hi, Mrs. Davis, is Brooke here?" Lucas asked, kindly. He went to Brooke's house so they could have an actual convorsation about this.
"Brooke isn't here, Lucas." Mrs. Davis said.
"Do you know where I can find her?" he asked, concerned. This made him want to find her even more.
"She could be with Peyton." Msr. Davis said, obviously clueless when it came to her own daughter.
"Uh...I highly doubt that." Lucas said, kind of laughing at the fact that Mrs. Davis didn't really know anything about Brooke's life, she didn't even know she was fighting with her bestfriend.
"Why, did they get into a fight?" she asked, confused.
"Kind of...Mrs. Davis, if she isn't here then I have to go, I really need to find her." he said.
"Bye, Lucas." she said, shutting the door.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Haley and Rahel decided to go and sit in the hospital cafeteria because they figured Brooke and Peyton would want to talk after they made up, just about everything they had to catch up on.
"How long have you known about the baby?" Haley asked, confused and surprised Rachel actually knew about it.
"2 months now." she said, smiling. "I found out in the bathroom when we were at the cheer competition."
Haley looked even more surprised. "Wow, that's really weird that she was pregnant then...hmm." she said, thinking back to that competition.
"Yea...I kind of expected it, but I thought she would at least let Lucas know, even if she wasn't going to keep it." Rachel explained. "I don't even know Lucas that well but I still know he wouldn't ditch her."
"Yea...oh my god, Lucas, does he know Brooke is here?" Haley asked, suddenly remembering Lucas wasn't there yet.
"No! You can't call him." Rachel said, taking Haley's phone. "Brooke, doesn't want him to know."
"Why?" she asked, confused.
"He just found out about the baby, she doesn't want him to just except the fact she's pregnant because she's in a hospital bed."
"Well, he has to know, Rachel...he's probably wondering where she is." she said, getting annoyed. "Give me my phone."
"Haley, please, I told Brooke I wouldn't tell him."
"Well, you won't, I will." Haley said, grabbing her phone, quickly. "He's my friend...and I know Lucas...he would want to know."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lucas was walking down the street towards Rachel's house. That was the last place he had to look, so she had to be there.
Ring, ring...
"Hello." he said, answering his phone, quickly, when he saw Haley's name.
"Hi, Lucas, I have to tell you something." she said, loking at Rachel then walking somewhere where it would be quieter.
"What is it, Haley?" he asked, concerned.
"It's, Brooke, she's been in an accident."
"What? Is she ok?"
"Yes, she's fine, the...the baby is fine, she just has a broken wrist and some bruises." Haley explained.
"Ok, well I better go see her." Lucas said.
"She might be mad to see you though, Lucas." she said. "She said not to let you know she was there."
Lucas put on a confused look. "Why wouldn't she want me there?"
"You know why, she didn't want you feeling sorry for her."
"Well, I'll be there in a couple minutes anyways."
"Ok, bye, Lucas."
