Girl Behind The Red Door Confessions

Chapter 9

"And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be... or lose that person completely."

Flashback

"What's so special about this beach momma.?" A young Juliet asked. Looking up at her mother.

"This is where daddy and I got married." "It was so beautiful."

"I had on grandma Karen's wedding dress from when she married grandpa Keith. Uncle Nathan walked me down the aisle. Aunt Haley was my maid of honor. And when made it down the aisle there was daddy waiting for me. Looking so handsome and had this look of love on his face that I had never seen before." Brooke said. Smiling at the memory.

"It was the one of the most perfect, memorable days of our lives." "The next one was when you were born and neither of us could believe that the love we had for each other had been turned into this tiny mix of us both of us that we couldn't love more if we tried." "You are our dream come true." Lucas said to her.

The couple continued to walk hand and hand with their daughter. Watching the sun set on the beach in front of them.

…

Juliet woke up. With her face, wet with tears. Looking at the last picture of her and her mom that sat in a frame on her bedside table. Words couldn't describe how much she missed her mother. Her going missing left a gaping hole in both her and her father's hearts. Not understanding how things could have gone so wrong. Juliet often replays her last moments with mom. The comfort of her hugs and the warmth of her smiles. Taking a breath while she wiped her eyes. And started to get out of bed. Just her eyes glancing over at a picture of her and Matt. Juliet was completely blindsided by him breaking up with her. She thought they were happy together and in love. Walking over to her closet as she began to pick out her outfit for the day. Before going into the shower. Her cell phone began to ping over and over again. When she took a look at the what it was she saw endless amounts of texts. From Sawyer and Jamie and other people on the squad. Reading over each text message. Her made her feel dizzy and as if the floor had been ripped out from under her.

Carefully walking over to her bed as she said down.

Is it true.?

"Why didn't you tell me.?

"Who's baby is it.?

"Your secret is out I cannot wait to watch your world collapse around you. Like mother like daughter this couldn't be more true." "What will your dad think when he finds out his precious daughter is not innocent at all.?"

The last message said. Juliet put a hand to her chest. Tears rushing down her face. "This can't be happening." Juliet said. Throwing her phone against the wall. As she wrapped her arms around herself.

"Who did this.?" She only told one person. None of this made sense.

Hearing a knock at her bedroom door. Caused her to jump.

"Go Away." Juliet said. Her voice thick with emotion.

The door opened slowly. Walking inside the door shutting quickly.

"Jules I know what you've been hiding." Lucas said. Walking up next to her as he sat on the other side of the bed.

"I'm sorry daddy." "I was going to tell you once I figured out how to and had some kind of plan." "But it doesn't matter now." "Matt broke with me last night; the whole school knows about the baby." "And top of that I completely disappointed you." Juliet said. Wiping her eyes. Turning away from him.

Lucas felt as if his heart was being torn out of his chest. Seeing his daughter in this much pain and sadness. Was too much. He would find out who put out this information and handle it personally.

"I love you." "You will always be my little girl no matter how big you get and what you go through." "You have and will forever be the best thing that ever happened to me." "We are going to figure this out." "I will protect you and help you as much as can." Lucas said.

Wrapping his arms around her. Hugging her tightly.

"No school for you today." "You deserve a much-needed break."

"You get ready and I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

Lucas said. As he put her the purple monkey in her hands.

"She always made you feel better when you were little." Lucas said. As he looked back at her once more before he left the room. Closing the door behind him. Getting his cellphone as he took a seat. Going through his contacts. Clicking on the name he needed. As he waited for the other person to pick up.

"Nate I'm going to be out with Juliet for the day." "But when I get back." "Could Haley be waiting in the house. A lot has happened in the past few hours and I think she could really use another woman to talk to."

Lucas said.

"Sure thing Luke Hales and Karen are exactly what she needs." "But what's going on.?" Nathan asked him.

"I'll fill you in later on tonight after I drop Juliet off at home."

"Someone messed with the wrong man's daughter." "That's all I can tell you for now." Lucas said.

"Okay I'll be waiting at my house." "Text me when you're out there." "Juliet means a lot to us and as her uncle I will be more than happy to help you execute whatever plan you have in mind." Nathan said in response.

"Thanks Nate." Lucas said.

"No needed big brother." "We're family I'll have a tank full of gas waiting for you."

"Talk to you very soon." Lucas said. Hanging up. Hearing footsteps coming down the stairs as he put his phone away.

"There's my blue-eyed girl." Lucas said. Smiling at her.

"Where are, we going.?" Juliet asked.

"Anywhere you want to go." Lucas said.

As the two went out the door and got into his car.

….

Oh my god! "I killed him." Brooke said. Putting her hand over her mouth. Trying to catch her breath. As she moved his body off of her.

Blood pouring out of him. As she grabbed ahold of his keys and cell phone. The phone had been ringing constantly.

Brooke flipped the switch to on. And spoke slowly.

"Hello." She said softly. Trying to keep her voice from being noticed.

"He rejected me." "He's so fucking in love with her." "That he wouldn't even consider the idea of us being together." "He should of known I don't take rejection well." "There's no reason to keep her alive anymore." "Do your worst and I'll stick around helping Luke pick up the pieces of his shattered heart." Lindsay said. Laughing.

"Chime in anytime Dan." Lindsay said.

Brooke hung up the phone.

Getting up slowly. Finding her balance. As she took off out the door. Locking it behind her. Then running as fast as possible. Down this hallway and that hallway. Until she saw a final door.

Using the other key. She opened it.

The fresh cold hair. Hitting her face. As she looked up at the sky.

"Brooke Davis is going home." Brooke thought to herself. As she walked quickly outside.
