Some say that when you lose one of your parents, you rely on the remaining parent even more so. It's true that you don't appreciate anything or anyone until you lose it. My mum and I had a blossoming relationship; we spoke about our lost, hurt and desperation to fill that void in our lives as well as in our hearts. It was so great that I had expected a full recovery from the pain, until I came home and saw a strange man sitting in the living room. He wasn't a day over 25 years old, white- blue striped button down shirt with black slacks. He had dark brunette hair, big round hazel eyes and masculine jaw. I stood in the corner of the hallway wondering where the hell my mother was and what was he doing alone in our home? My eyes capture the flicker of her diamonds reflecting down on the marble stairway. Her smile was different today, one I hadn't seen since my dad was still alive. Butterflies forming in my stomach, especially when they both locked eyes. Immediately I knew what that man was doing here, as she sat next to him, leaning her head on his chest, the way she use to do that with my dad, she was replacing him.
As everything became blurry, I suddenly find myself lying on the tiled floors, the coldness hitting my back not bothering me at all. The chandeliers look different looking upwards at them. The bohemian crystals sparkling creating a shining effect yet at the same time darkness was soon to be overshadowing my life.
'Brooke, can you hear me? Are you okay baby? Can you hear me?' Julie Davis caressed her daughters' forehead. A 19-year-old young woman whose inner strength helped her bounced back from the death of her father, her idol. Although Brooke was now living a perfectly happy ever after, Julie knew her news would send shattering quivers to the core of their mother-daughter relationship.
'Nathan? Can you help me get Brooke onto the lounge?' The man's name was Nathan, and Brooke would never realise the dramatic changes to her life because of Nathan.
5 years later….
'Mum, don't you understand that I won't marry Nathan's brother!! I can't even stand your boy toy, what makes you think I would even like the younger version of him?
I just don't understand why you're forcing me to do this? Don't you love me, mum? Tell me why?
'I'm looking out for you, Nathan tells me his brother is wonderful, perfectly suited for you. Nath……' Julie grazes the wavy curls that have made their way onto Brookes face. She can tell that her daughter is angry; her nostrils flare as she raises her voice.
'What do you think mum? Everything that comes out of your mouth either starts or ends with Nathan! What happened to that strong woman who use to yell and argue with dad. Is Nathan your master? HuH?!!! Tell me!! Do you have a leash that he pulls?? Why can't you see what I see? He's using you, and it's about time you realise!' Being told that follow someone like a lost dog would upset your feelings but Julie had endured a lot worse over the years. Brooke's harsh words fell on deaf ears.
'Brooke……, Nathan and I have been together for nearly 6 years. I think he has proven himself enough, can't you see he's a good guy?'
'You're old enough to be his mother' Her most reliable snide remark. The line that made Julie believe she wasn't worthy to be loved after she lost the father of her child but most important, her companion, her soul mate.
'We don't care, age is just a number Brooke, you should be old enough to realise that love can help you cross all obstacles' Nathan was a respectable businessman that didn't care about what his family or friends thought about his wife.
'Yea, and all those digits that you have in your bank account and properties we own will soon perish because of this loving, caring, and younger lover of yours' It probably wasn't the fact that someone wanted to deceive their way into millions of dollars, but the thought of somebody replacing her father and taking what once belonged to him scared her.
'I've had enough of defending our relationship to you, I love you with all my heart kid, but I can't baby you anymore, you have to face reality and I need to put my foot down, if you want to call this house a home, you will meet Lucas at the ranch, and I'll see you back here in a month' Julie did the most selfish thing that day, she was making Brooke go out into the world to meet a man, she didn't even know personally herself. Unsure if this Lucas could even handle such a intimidating, outspoken, sassy woman.
'Over my dead body' Her eyes showed feelings of arrogance and somewhat of indestructibility. Brooke Davis was cold of emotion, which could be used to her advantage.
'Here the address, it should take 3 hours to get there. I'll get the maids to pack your luggage for you, and would you please use those manners you've been taught from debutant training'
'But, bu…..damn!' Looking down at the address, Brooke couldn't help but already hate him. He could be the nicest guy in the world but she couldn't trust him just like Nathan. They were probably a brother team of con artists trying to lure all the Davis' trust fund.
For 5 years, Brooke was in emotional turmoil, anger was building within her, layer after layer glued together. An impartial third party would know that she was unhappy and now here she was, packed and ready to hit the road to 'One Tree Hill'.
