Episode 11 Ch.1 Rush

Jacey runs down the stairs towards Keith. Eddie starts to move and Jacey takes the gun and beats him in the head with it until he falls to the ground. She also takes the chance to kick him like he kicked her many times during their relationship.

She turns her attention towards Keith. He isn't moving, but she can tell that he is still breathing. "Come on baby…You've got to be okay…I'm so sorry." She had tears running down her face. All of this was her fault. She was the only one to blame.

Keith opens his eyes slowly and weakly speaks, "I…Love…You…I never…stopped." He closed his eyes after he finished his last word. Jacey was afraid that was the last word she would ever hear him speak.

"Jacey…Jacey…" Lucas touches her shoulder. She was sleeping in the waiting room of the hospital. They had been there for five days, and Keith's condition hadn't changed at all.

"Oh sorry," Jacey yawned. "I thought I'd rest my eyes for a while." They were all extremely exhausted.

"That's okay…There was no change." He said unfortunately.

"Oh…well at least there's no bad news…"

"I guess we have to look on the bright side…oh here I got this for you…" He handed her a cup of coffee. "I thought you might need something to keep you awake since you haven't left the hospital."

"I just…I can't leave."

"You should go in and see him."

Jacey shook her head. "I don't want to leave until he wakes up, but all of this is my fault. I doubt he would really want to see me." Jacey started to cry, "I'll never forgive myself if he doesn't recover from this."

Lucas wrapped his arms around her. They didn't blame Jacey. Keith was a lot like his old man. He had a hero complex and always had to save the one he loved. They were afraid that he wouldn't wake up, but the doctor's remained hopeful and they had to too.

Peyton is sitting by her son's bedside. She had been by his side the entire time. She refused to leave him because she was afraid that he would be scared without her. She treated the situation like he was a five year old boy that needed his mom more than anything, but that was okay. She had every right to.

She takes a hold of is hand. "Okay so I know that you never really listen to me, but this isn't an option. I'm not giving you an option on this one." Peyton held back her tears. "I need you to wake up. You are my boy, my sweet little boy. I can't lose you. You have too many things in your life left to do. You are too young to leave this world…so I am telling you to wake up….Wake up Keith." This was the same speech that she gave him every single day, but so far he hadn't listened to her.

Brooke walks out of the bathroom. Nathan walks out of the closet. They were both ready to go. "I'm gonna head over to the hospital. I'm pretty sure Peyton needs a break."

"Yeah Luke said she hasn't left Keith's side since the accident. I'm gonna take the kids to school, and then I'll join you. I'm sure Lucas needs a break too."

"You know I just…." She takes a deep breath. "This family has gone through so much over the years. It is about time that something good happened to all of us. I'm sick of all the pain."

"I don't know what I would do if there was a chance one of the kids or you could die. I don't know what I would do without you Brooke." Nathan touched her face slowly with his hand.

She smiled, "You don't have to worry about that because I'm not going anywhere." She kissed his cheek. "Keith's accident put everything in prospective for me. I love you and that is all that matters."

"You're right…that is all that matters." He pulls her into a hug.

Elizabeth is in the twin's bedroom getting them ready for school.

"I wish mommy was here to get us dressed." Natalie pouted.

"Yeah me too…I miss her." Lucy followed her sister's pouting.

"I know guys. She'll be home soon."

"Is Keith going to go to heaven?" Natalie asked.

"Yeah daddy told us that when people die they go to heaven." Lucy looked at Elizabeth.

"Guys…Keith is going to be okay."

"People aren't supposed to sleep that long. He's been asleep way too long." Lucy put her hands on her hips. That was her signature move.

"I promise everything is going to be okay, and Keith and mom and dad will be home very soon. I just have a feeling." Elizabeth hoped that her feeling was right. She didn't tell the girls but she was afraid that Keith wouldn't wake up too. And she didn't know what she was going to do without her brother. He had been there for her through everything. He had to be okay.

Lily and Spencer walk into their house together. "Wow…I can't believe that we are finally home." Lily walks into the living room to see all of her stuff in boxes sitting inside the room. "What is all of this?"

"This is all of your things. I called while we were in Las Vegas. I wanted it all to be here when we got home." He kisses her cheek. "I have waited for this moment since before I bought the house."

"What about the for-sale sign sitting in the front yard?"

He had hoped that she wouldn't notice it, but she had.

"That was a mistake." He pulls her closer to him. "No more mistakes…"

"I agree…I've waited for this moment for a long time too. I'm so happy that it finally came true." She leans in closer to him and they kiss. This was the beginning of their life together, and everything was going to be okay as long as they had each other.
