Chapter 33
Fear. That's exactly what he felt.
All this feels strange and untrue, and I won't waste a minute without you.
"Brooke!!" Chase yelled, rushing over to his unconscious fiancé, disbelief just pouring over him.
"Oh my god." Rachel said, looking extremely scared.
Two bouquets slammed to the ground, as they picked up their dresses and ran as fast as they could to one of their best friends.
My bone aches, my skin feels cold, and I'm getting so tired, and so old.
Many people stood up, and you could hear the many whispers and gasps that were shared with each other.
"Call an ambulance!!" Haley said as the panic was rising in her voice.
Nathan and Chase's two brothers ran, trying to get through the crowds of people, trying to help Brooke, while Lucas just stood there, still shocked, angry and confused about what he had done.
The anger swells in my guts, and I won't feel these slices, and cuts.
-
The ambulance took Brooke away, and Chase could only stand there, his face looking so incredulous, as he watched it, inching away from him.
I want so much to open you eyes, cause I need you to look into mine.
Is she going to be okay? What about the baby? What the hell was up with Lucas? Did he have feelings for Brooke? Did Brooke have feelings for Lucas?
He suddenly rubbed him forehead. What are you saying? Of course she doesn't have feelings for him.
"Chase," Haley said quickly, putting her hand on his shoulder.
He turned around, and he looked at Haley. She looked really shaken up, and her eyes were a little red. She had been crying, he knew it.
"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
-
"Lucas, what is wrong with you man?" Nathan said once he put his keys down on the table.
"Just don't, Nathan." He said, sitting down, his hand on his forehead.
"No." He said, sounding angry. "Brooke's like my sister." Nathan added, taking off his suit and throwing it on the couch.
"I can't believe you would do that!!" He said, yelling. "At her wedding day Luke!"
Rachel stepped downstairs, clutching her teddy bear.
"Daddy, are you okay?" She said, clueless of what had been going on, her face so innocent and cute that it made Nathan calm down.
"Yeah, honey, I'm fine. Can you go outside and play on the swing set?"
"Sure, daddy." She said, opening the screen door in the kitchen and running outside to her brother.
"Nathan. Please." Lucas said, shaking his head.
Nathan's anger rose so fast. He had never felt this angry in so long.
"Do you have feelings for her?!" He yelled.
"No." He said softly.
-
Chase ran to Brooke, speeding to her side.
They entered the hospital room, while Chase stayed with Brooke, his eyes only on her, unaware of anything going on around him. Haley stood outside the doorway, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
Tell me you'll open your eyes,
"Sir, you need to leave." The doctor told him.
"That's my fiancé!" He yelled, his voice cracking as he pointed to Brooke.
Tell me you'll open your eyes,
"I understand that." The doctor said. "But if you want her to be okay, we need you to leave."
Haley stepped into the room, taking Chase's arm, pulling him out of the room.
"Haley! It's Brooke!" He said sadly, his eyes tearing, pointing to her once again.
Tell me you'll open your eyes.
Haley looked into Chase's eyes, tears coming down from her own. "I know." She said to him. "Come on. Let's go." Her voice cracked at the end as she took his hand, and they walked out of the room.
They headed over to the waiting room, Haley looking for everyone else. Chase suddenly stopped, shaking his head. "I.. I need a minute to myself."
"Okay." She said, nodding, her face looking so sad.
Chase went the other direction, back towards the room, his eyes full of dripping tears, his hands shaking, and his whole body feeling numb.
He looked into the room and stopped.
"We're losing her!" A doctor yelled.
Chase stepped back against the wall. He slid his back against it and dropped to the floor, his hands and legs trembling, as he covered his face.
He was so scared. Tears ran down his face, his hands still shaking.
Tell me you'll open your eyes.
-
"Haley!" Rachel and Peyton yelled, running over to her.
"How is she?" Peyton said breathing in, her eyes all red and puffy.
Haley shook her head, crying even more, as she put her hands up. "I don't know." She said, her lip shaking.
Rachel turned around, putting her hand on her mouth but then put it down at her side because it was trembling so much.
"When life comes rushing at you from our of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? Will they be wise? And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light? Or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices? Or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, when it does -- is there someone in your life you can count on? Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall? And in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone?"
