As all this was happening out in the corridor, Peyton Sawyer was finally coming out of the anesthesia from her surgery. Her mouth and throat were dry and she couldn't move her leg. "Lucas?" Her bleary voice carried softly out of her hospital room, to where Lucas was standing.He watched Jake go. He felt bad. Worst than bad. He knew that he and ( Read more... )

Her eyes had slowly been coming into focus as she felt his warm hands take one of hers. The room sharpened, and she took in the hospital bed and the softly beeping machines. For one time in her life, Peyton wasn't totally horrified to be there.

She smiled at his words. Goldilocks. There were exactly three people she would let call her that and get away with it. Lucas, Her dad, and Brooke. At the thought of Brooke, the madness of the morning rushed back to the front of her mind.

"Lucas." She croaked, "What about Brooke. And Nathan and Haley?" tons of faces and names rushed to the front of her mind. Had all of their friends made it out? Had Jimmy hurt anyone else? "Is everyone ok?" Her eyes were filled with concern.

He smiled down at her before he leaned over and kissed her forehead. He leaned against the bed, keeping her hand in both of his. He nodded slowly, bringing her hand to kiss it softly.

"Everyone's okay. No one else was hurt." That's what Chris had said. Haley and Nathan got out okay. Everything was okay. At least, that's what he thought. No one had told them about the deaths inside the school and he hadn't been near a television.

"Peyton," he inhaled a deep breath. "Brooke and Jake...they came to the hospital, Peyton. They know about us." He didn't want to tell her, not when she first woke up. But he knew she needed to know. In case Brooke or Jake came by when he wasn't here and said something. He didn't want her to be totally surprised.

She smiled has his words and his kiss eased her mind. Everyone was ok. The whole horrific nightmare was over. She had been about to reach up and pull him in for a deeper kiss....to properly thank him for saving her, when he sucked in his breath and said her name in a tone that pushed kissing out of her mind.

Her brow furrowed. "They know?" No. They couldn't, not like this. It wasn't fair! She was going to tell them. Both of them...but how had they? Because Lucas carried her out? Did Luke say something when they got to the hospital?

Then it hit her. The voice, the one outside the ambulance that she had thought was Lucas. It had been Jake. Jake petrified that she was dying and all she could do was profess her love to another guy. Suddenly Peyton had a very strong urge to throw up.

"Oh god." She lay stuck in a bed, when two of her best friends were outside hurting. Because of her. Her eyes flitted upwards to Lucas. "You know we are probably going to be reincarnated as dung beetles or something for all this, right?"

He stared at her for a long moment before he managed a nod. He knew things were bad. He knew he had to talk to Brooke. But she had run off, with Chris Keller. Lucas knew he shouldn't be jealous, and maybe he wasn't. But he knew he felt something negative about the whole situation. And then Jake...Jake who didn't know what to say, who wanted to stay but knew he should probably leave. They both left so quickly. Lucas sighed, but smiled as he looked at Peyton, taking one of her hands and kissing the back of it gently ( ... )
