Chapter 11
Brooke's Point of View
Once I had Ollie back at the house I was determined to let her know what she did was not acceptable. However despite my threats I was at a loss on how to do it. I mean I didn't exactly have good parents when I was her age and I didn't have any practice with my other kids because she was the oldest. So I had to get creative.
"Why did you sneak out?" I asked Ollie as she sat on the sofa glaring at Lucas and myself. "To go to a party?" She mumbled. "Why didn't you ask permission?" I questioned. "Would I have got it?" She replied sarcastically. "Hey that's not the point!" I hissed. "You are 17 years old which makes you a kid. My kid and I will not sit back and watch you become like me in High School!" I yelled. "And what would that be like exactly?" Ollie hissed. "Olivia!" Lucas scolded.
"What? You two are hypocrites. You tell me not to go to a party and have fun but you two clearly had a lot of it when you were my age. I mean how else did I get here?" Ollie cried. "This isn't about us, you don't get to question us. You disobeyed Brooke; you snuck out and made her worry. Therefore you have to realise there are consequences for that." Lucas scolded. "Consequences?" Ollie questioned. "Yes consequences." I replied.
"Like?" Ollie asked sounding worried. "Like…." I trailed off. "Like no going out for two weeks. You go to school and you come home." Lucas instructed. "What about surfing?" Ollie said smugly. "None of that either." I added. "You can't do that!" Ollie cried but it was clear I was getting through to her. "I need to be at practice." She begged. "Should have thought about that then shouldn't you." I replied. "I will call coach tell him." Ollie argued. "You do that, but I think he will want to hear my story to. So I will also call him and tell him why you are grounded." I smiled.
"This is so unfair." Ollie huffed. "Oh I'm not finished." I told her. "You will have to work at the café everyday after school while you are not training, you will not miss a day at school and you will do all your homework." I explained. "Is that it?" Ollie mumbled. "One more thing." I said. "What?" she sighed. "No boys. No boys in closets at school, no boys in the café and no boys in the house." I replied. "What about girls?" Ollie asked sarcastically. "If that's how you swing then no girls either." I replied. "Is that it?" Ollie wined. "Yip unless you do anything else." I said.
"Can I go now?" she asked. "To your room yes." I replied. She rolled her eyes and stormed off upstairs. "Well that went well." Lucas laughed. "You think so?" I said joining his laughter. "She thinks we are assholes!" I joked. "That's the way it's supposed to be." Lucas smiled. "Really cause I never got grounded as a kid!" I replied. "Oh I know, I remember teenage Brooke!" Lucas smirked. "Hey!" I said as I gently punched him. "Owe!" He said as he shielded himself. As I tried to break his shield there was a knock at the door. "Saved by the bell!" I laughed as I went to open it.
I was surprised to see Peyton on the other side. "Hi." She greeted nervously. "Um hi." I replied as I let her in. "Did you find her ok?" she asked. "Yeah she's fine." I told her. "Oh good, um Lucas told me who she was. Why didn't you ever tell me about her?" Peyton asked. "Peyton that was a long time ago and don't think we need to discuss it…" I replied. "Brooke you had a kid with the man I married, I wish you had of told me." Peyton cried. "Peyton she didn't tell me either, but she had good reasons. We can't blame Brooke for this." Lucas chipped in. "Blame me? For what?" I cried. "Nothing." Lucas replied. "Lucas blame me for what? You're divorce? You were getting that before you found out about Ollie." I hissed.
"I know but Peyton thinks I still love you." Lucas mumbled. "Lucas I don't think it, I know you do." Peyton cried. "And I was ok with that until I found out about Ollie." Peyton yelled. "Don't bring her into a Peyton drama!" I hissed. "She didn't ask for this!" I added. "No and Lucas did? Brooke had you told him about Ollie then he might have realised his feelings for you sooner, before he wrecked our marriage." Peyton cried. "Peyton I am not to blame, when I found out I was pregnant with Ollie you had already moved in on stealing Lucas!" I screamed.
"I was in love with him Brooke!" Peyton argued. "And I wasn't? How do you think I felt?" I hissed. "Brooke I didn't mean for you to get hurt, but you should have told Lucas!" Peyton replied. "Peyton what happened between us is all on us. Brooke was the victim, we hurt her and she still put on a brave face at our wedding. She made your dress and everything!" Lucas defended. "Guys I don't need this, get out." I said after an awkward silence fell.
"What?" Lucas asked. "Get out, sort this drama out without me in it." I said as I opened the door for them. "Brooke…" Lucas began to say but didn't finish. Instead I slammed the door in both their faces as I felt tears roll down my face.
"Mom you ok?" I heard Ollie whisper from the stairs. "Huh? What's wrong are you ok?" I asked wiping my cheeks. "I heard you guys arguing." She mumbled. "Is it my fault there so mad?" Ollie whispered. "No honey its not your fault." I said as I walked over and hugged her. "They have had more issues than the entire Oprah show combined!" I assured her. "Mom?" Ollie mumbled. "Yeah?" I replied pulling back so I could look at her. "I'm sorry I snuck out." She apologized. "Its ok just don't do it again ok? I was worried." I told her.
"I won't." She smiled. "Good. So are you hungry?" I asked. "Starving!" She laughed. "Well the boys are at a sleepover so how about we have a girls night?" I suggested. "Sounds fun." Ollie smiled as she followed me to the kitchen. "Um why don't we order something?" I asked realising I didn't want to show her how bad I was at cooking just yet. "Can you not cook?" she said clearly holding in her laughter. "Um I can do a salad…." I laughed. "Seriously?" Ollie laughed. I nodded in embarrassment. "The kitchen hates me!" I cried. "Good thing I can cook then isn't it." she replied. "Go pick a movie I have this covered!" she instructed as she got to work. I nodded in response as I ran to pick a DVD, I was so happy she was warming to me and I was super excited for girls night!
Until next time ;-)
