"What Lies Ahead Of Us" - Chapter Five
Brooke waited, hopelessly and heartbroken, as she stayed in the hospital. A few hours ago, the love of her life had asked her to marry him. Usually, at that time you would feel as if you were the happiest person alive. It was a life changing event. A life changing event ... whom Brooke Davis had not been able to answer to. She had never been able to tell her love that she felt the same way. A life changing event had been ruined by yet another one; A car accident. A car accident that had caused a broken leg and a broken wrist.
All this was told to Brooke when she had arrived at the hospital. Doctors had told her that the love of her life was in a coma. This again was a life changing event. Lives were shattered, and hearts were broken. And all they could was wait. That was why it was called a waiting room.
"Honey, do you need anything?" Peyton asked softly, placing her hand against Brooke's. Brooke shook her head slowly, barely able to lift her head up. Peyton formed a sad smile, rubbing Brooke's hand.
Brooke let out a small cry, refusing Peyton's support and getting up out the chair she was in. She shook her head, letting the tears form in her eyes.
"Brooke." Peyton whispered sadly, watching as Brooke walked away. She closed her eyes and let out a small sigh, not being able to believe the day that they were going through. It was unbelieveably tragic, and the thing Peyton hated most was not being able to do anything to stop it.
Brooke walked straight into the room where Chase was lying. The fact that she wasn't allowed to come in was definitely not stopping her. No doctors were in the room, and Brooke pulled up a chair next to the bed.
She looked at him, a still broken look on her face. He didn't look good, at all. His face was full of cuts and it killed Brooke to see him this way. Her hands started to tremble, and her heart shattered even more.
"Oh, god." Brooke let out a broken cry. "I'm so sorry." She whispered. "This is all my fault." She said, staring at the man she loved lying in the hospital bed. "Chase," She said, her voice breaking. "You have to wake up soon." Brooke whispered sadly. "I love you so much, and I can't lose you ... Not like this ... Not when we left like this," She said, crying. She then let out a sarcastic laugh as to say: Look at the pathetic mess you are, Brooke! She played with her hands, staring at them. "You need to know that I want to marry you. You have to know it," She said again, her voice cracking into a sob. "You have to wake up so that I can. And you have to wake up, because I'm carrying your child." She sobbed, letting her head fall into her arms as she drifted into an unknown world.
