Finally they saw the hospital and Lucas immediately took the unconscious Brooke in his arms and ran towards it „We need help", he screamed.

A nurse came by and took Brooke. All the others could do now was waiting for an answer. A few hours later a nurse came to the four of them

and said:" She is stable now. She is now lying at the intensive station.

She had suffered a broken rip and she has a severe Hypothermia and for the moment she is not able to breath on her own or walk for a while.

We put her into a coma. Her body needs to rest. Some of her organs were not functioning any more.

And for the moment we are warming her up. She will be staying here for a while but she is a strong girl and you did everything right to warm her up."

The others were relieved to hear that but nevertheless were more than afraid. The trip should not have ended like this.

„Can we see hear?", Nathan asked. „Normally no but you can for a moment.

You saved her life kids. But don´t frighten. She is attached to many machines. "

The four followed the doctor into Brooke´s room and were shocked.

She looked so small and pale and a beeping machine was attached to a mask that obviously gave her oxygen.

They sat down besides her and took her hand. „Hey there", Nathan was the first one to talk even if he knew that Brooke would sleep for a while „get better

fast, ok. We need our cheercaptain" Haley and Peyton hugged and cried.

This was all of their worst nightmares. Lucas then took a chair and sat besides Brooke.

A tear was falling down his cheek and he said „I won´t leave you.".

„Lucas, we cannot stay here.", Peyton whispered.

A bit too harsh he answered „I don´t care. She should not go through this alone. I am staying."

He took Brooke´s small hand and kissed it softly. The others left the room for a moment when a nurse came back in and wanted them to leave.

„You cannot stay Mr.", the nurse said but when she looked into his eyes she could almost feel his emotions. „You´re her boyfriend,right?", she asked.

Without having to think he said „Yes, I am."

It was night and everything seemed to be very calm in the hospital. Lucas could not sleep but looked at Brooke.

How could something so bad happen to her? He would never forgive him if she died.

„Pretty girl. Please fight through it. I cannot live without you. I love you too much.", with that he layed his head carefully on her chest and focused on her

heartbeat. The sweetest sound he had ever heard.

One week later Lucas was still spending every night at the hospital.

Today was the day he waited for. Brooke had been put out of the artifcial coma.

Her body had rested enough and she was getting stronger and all her organs worked perfectly.

He looked at her all the time and hoped that she would move or make a sound. „Brooke. I hope you can hear me. I am waiting here for you." he whispered

into her ears and kissed her cheek.

Brooke could hear Lucas but somehow she felt lost in another place.

She tried to call him but nothing worked. She could not move her body nor speak. Lucas felt that she had stiffened up „Don´t force yourself.

Yout got plenty of time.". Three hours later he looked into her beautiful eyes and a slight smile.

He could not hold back his tears and looked around.

He knew that he was not supposed to do that but nevertheless he went into her bed and took her into his arms.

She was feeling very safe when resting her head on his chest again and hearing his heartbeat.

She still had trouble breathing so the mask helped her. A minute later she was asleep in his arms and for the first time he closed his eyes as well.

His pretty girl was back.

I will add the last chapter tomorrow! :)
