Days had gone by and then weeks. Haley watched as Lucas ran into The old man's room to Brookes. He was so busy, with finishing his book and coaching the Ravens. Haley stayed at his house to watch Davis but most of the time Haley was teaching. Lucas walked into the waiting room, seeing Haley, Claire, and Sara sitting.
"What are you guys doing here?" Lucas chuckled, every day Sara and Claire have been coming to the hospital. Mostly to watch Davis.
"Waiting for sleeping beauty to wake so that she kisses her Prince charming," Sara said honestly. Claire nodded, agreeing with Sara. Lucas laughed, he liked how forward they were.
"Plus my essay is about to come to an end, I just have to get some answers from Haley then I'll be done." Sara told Lucas.
"What about waiting for Brooke to wake up?" Lucas mocked Sara.
"Well, that was before Brooke decided on taking her sweet time." Sara quickly answered.
"Why do you need me to finish your essay?" Haley asked her.
"With every person, there is a friend." Sara quoted.
"True," Lucas agreed but still didn't understand why.
"Your Brookes best friend. You love Brooke as much as Lucas loves her." Claire answered then.
"I think I love her more." Lucas Sat down next to the group. He liked their company, he especially liked it when Claire and Sara visited. They always seem to make him laugh when he needed one. Haley rolled her eyes from Lucas' comment.
"What do you need to know?" Haley challenged them, wondering what questions they had.
"Was Brooke what you expected when you first meet her?" Sara squinted her eyes.
"No," Haley chuckled. "I thought she was a stuck-up rich girl but somehow I still wanted to be friends with Brooke Davis." Haley shook her head. "To answer your question, she wasn't. She was more than just a pretty rich girl. She was this light. She was so caring and selfless..." Haley smiled a little. Claire smiled brightly. Lucas nodded, agreeing with Haley.
"When was the first moment that you knew Brooke was your best friend?" Claire asked her. Haley thought back to when they were in high school.
"When Nathan and I were having issues...She was the one there for me. She judged me but...She was there. More than anyone." Haley told them. "What does this have to do with the project?" Haley asked the girls.
"It actually doesn't, I just wanted to hear how you and Brooke became friends." Sara shrugged her shoulders. Haley playfully tapped Sara on the leg as they all laughed.
"You have the championships tonight, right?" Claire looked over at Lucas. Lucas tried to forget about but there was the championship tonight.
"Yea, it's been a long time coming." Lucas huffed, leaning back in the chair.
"I'm happy for you Lucas. You've worked hard for it." Haley tapped his leg.
"And what about your book, are we going to get a sneak peek?" Sara leaned towards Lucas.
"No." Lucas stood up from the chair. "But I do have something better." Lucas told her.
"Oooo, mysterious." Sara rubbed her hands together. Claire laughed, loving how goofy her friend was.
"Mr. Scott?" The doctor called him. Lucas turned around, seeing Davis Richards doctor. Everyone's smiled faded. Lucas knew that it was something wrong. "We made him comfortable but his heart is failing." The doctor said to Lucas.
"There was nothing you could do?" Sara stood up from the chair, getting a little angry.
"I'm sorry." The doctor looked back at Lucas. "Its time to say your goodbyes." The doctor said to Lucas. Lucas looked back at Haley, she didn't know what to say.
"It's okay." Lucas assured Haley. Lucas walked to the old man's room, he saw that all the wires were gone and there was just a monitor that monitoring his heart rate. Lucas pulled up a chair next to the bed, taking the old man hand. "Its okay," Lucas said to the old man. "Its okay," Lucas repeated, hoping that he would listen to the words that he said. "You can go..." Lucas became choked up, he never thought that he would have to do this. "You can be with your wife now." Lucas cried, he couldn't stop the tears. "Thank you for being a part of my life and Brookes life. I would have never made it without you being here. You taught me a lot of things." Lucas confessed. "You are a man that I want to grow to be...you were strong, kind..." Lucas sobbed. "And I used to ask myself why would Brooke call Davis Davis but now I know and I couldn't agree with her more. You were a good man, Davis Richard." Lucas sobbed. "So its okay, you can go." Lucas stood up from the chair. Claire and Sara watched from the outside window, seeing Lucas cry over the old man. "I'm glad Brooke named our son after you,"
"There has to be something good that comes out of this." Claire shook her head, seeing how much suffered.
"There will be." Sara said to Claire.
