What I Wanted
Chapter 7
Brooke woke up with the sun almost blinding. Covering her eyes getting out of bed. Going straight into the bathroom. Where she showered and washed her hair. Getting out some time later. Back in her room. Picking out her clothes for the day. Deciding on dark blue jeans and a purple t shirt.
Every time her mind wandered to Jake there was an ache of sadness in it for her because of how the entire thing ended. He had healed her and brought her happiness being the good guy that he was and his beautiful daughter Jenny. Who had opened a place in Brooke's heart that had never been changed. Even though it had been years since they've seen each other.
Walking out of her bedroom then down the stairs going straight into the kitchen where she opened the door to her fridge and got out the leftovers she had in her fridge and put it into the microwave. Deciding to have that for breakfast.
Getting the remote and turning on the tv in her kitchen. Waiting for the food to finish warming up. Which happened five minutes later. She got out napkins. Setting them on the table. Opening the microwave and quickly putting the dish of food on the table. Taking a seat as Brooke started to eat.
And looking up at the screen. She watches the morning news. Her cellphone going off with multiple texts and missed calls.
Brooke turns to the channel people are notifying her about. Jumping at the sound of knocking at the door. Her steps quick as she looks up.
"Lucas." She said softly.
"I know you weren't expecting me. But I just wanted to know if you were getting the same messages I was. Apparently, something huge is going on." Lucas said. Looking up at her.
"I am getting those messages and I turned to the channel and aren't seeing anything yet. You could stay and watch if you want." Brooke said. Looking to him.
"Sure." Lucas said. Walking over to the table. Taking a seat in one of the empty chairs. Looking up at the screen.
Brooke sitting back down where she had just been.
As Breaking news comes across the screen.
With boxes still unpacked. And lying all over the home.
It appears that the scene is meant to be staged as a robbery.
But the more we've dug into it. We now know.
That it wasn't that at all. This was a murder.
We are saddened and shocked by this news.
Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer has been found dead in her home.
