"I was just wondering, why you told me you loved me?" Lucas asked.

"I was scared, and just told you the truth. I do love you," Brooke replied.

"So, do you want to try things again...or..?" Lucas asked.

"I do not know," Brooke answered.

"Okay," Lucas replied.

"I just, I want to, but if things don't work out, what about October? She'd be a big emotional wreck," Brooke said.

"But what if they do work out?" Lucas asked, "We don't have to be

boyfriend and girlfriend right away, we can hang out more, as friends and see where it leads us. If we end up together then we do, and that would be amazing and great. But if we don't end up together, we will still have a good friendship and a daughter together."

"Well, when you put it like that it doesn't seem so scary," Brooke stated, "Okay, let's be friends and see what happens."

"October?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Did he seem okay? My dad.." Lilly wondered.

"Yeah," October replied, "He was smiling, so I guess so."

"Did he say anything else to you?" Lilly asked.

"He said to tell Karen he loved her, but I don't know who Karen is," October whispered.

"She's my mom," Lilly smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Why am I so stupid now?" October asked.

"Your not stupid you just don't remember things," Lilly said softly.

"Right, so I am a ditz, and a big one at that if I can't even remember my parents," October said grouchily.

"Yeah, you aren't a ditz," Lilly laughed, " It medical what's wrong with you, not natural."

"Do you mind if I go to sleep for a little while? I'm tired," October said her eyes droopy.

"No, of course, here I'll leave you alone and go home and grab a snack quickly, I'll be back later okay?" Lilly questioned.

"Sounds good," October smiled, before closing her eyes completely.

When she awakened, Lucas and Brooke were sitting on the same chair, Brooke on Lucas' lap, and they kissed softly.

"What are you doing?" October asked, "Please don't in front of me."

Brooke looked up and looked into October's eyes.

"What's my name?" Brooke asked.

"Brooke Davis," October said simply, giving Brooke a weird look.

"Who's that?" Brooke asked, pointing at Lucas.

"Lucas Scott, mom are you on drugs?" October asked.

"YOU REMEMBER!" Brooke squealed, jumping out of her chair, and darting over to hug October.

"And I couldn't before?" October asked.

"No, you didn't remember anyone, but Lilly and Peyton, Keith too," Brooke said excitedly.

"I was up before?" October asked, "Weird, the last thing I remember was...sinking."

"I'm so glad you're okay," Brooke said, making herself not cry.

"I'm glad I am okay too," October said, "Now why are you kissing my dad? What's that about?"

"We're.." Brooke started.

October glanced between them, "Trying to be friends to see where it

leads you, I get it, and the friends thing didn't last long."

"Yeah," Brooke replied in awe. How could October remember her, forget her completely, then be acting like normal all within the span of 8 hours.

"Where is everyone else?" October asked.

"At home, it's really late, Haley and Nathan had to put Isabella to bed, and Karen and the girls went home to get some rest." Lucas replied.

"Yeah, they are probably tired from their flight, I didn't scare Isabella to badly did I?" October asked.

"She didn't really understand what was going on so I think she's fine," Lucas answered.

"That's good, I love her, she's like a little sister even though I just met her," October smiled.

"Having fun ruling over her?" Brooke asked.

"Oh, I'm not like that to her, I just like having someone look up to me and I like the fact that she thinks I'm awesome," October giggled, "But I'm nice and it was so funny earlier. She ran through my closet putting random things on. It's fun. All of my friends have siblings and I've never had a younger family person around so yeah, I am rambling but I really like her. And I'm hungry."

"I'll go grab you something," Brooke said leaving the room for the vending machine.

Dr. Miller was notified that October's memory had come back, and they were told October would be free to go home after 24 hours of observation.

"So," October said, "What are your intentions with my mother."

"You're joking right?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah," October said, bored.

"Do you remember what happened out there?" Lucas asked.

"I got tired and began to sink, that's all," October replied as if it were nothing, "I know it was my HCM, but it happened and I don't want to think about it anymore."

"You could've died," Lucas said.

"I know, but I didn't, Ii could die at any moment of any day. You know that, and you could too. That doesn't mean I shouldn't live to the fullest while I can." October said.

"I know the feeling very well, I just am scared for you. Even though we've only just gotten to know each other, I can't picture life without you and I don't want too," Lucas explained.

"I know," October said softly, "But what can I do about it? Be miserable, and sit in one spot for my whole life? I could drop dead doing that! I had one incident while swimming, when I was having some asthma trouble, maybe that's what caused be to be tired. You can't know dad, and I'm going to keep on living. This scared me too, but it's also opened my eyes. Yes, I am going to be more careful and take things a bit easier, but I am going to keep living like normal, I have to or I wouldn't be me anymore," October said calmly.
