Chapter 11 – The Day is Done

There was a long silence.

"You don't mean that" Lucas said his hands shaking. He felt like he'd just been stabbed in the back.

"Yeah, I think I do. That's it Lucas, I'm done playing games here." Brooke declared.

"Don't give up on us so easily! We can work through this, I know we can!" Lucas protested.

Brooke shook her head. "It's too late. We're finished. I want out".

"Please Brooke, I'm begging you! If you don't want to do it for me, do it for our children. This is gonna kill them!"

"They'll live with it if I can. There's no way I can be with a man who can't be honest with me and sneaks behind my back. I won't put up with it"

"Do you still love me?" Lucas suddenly asked.

Brooke turned away. She was hoping he wouldn't ask this question tonight. "I do. That's why this sucks even more - because now I need to learn to let you go."

"I love you too Brooke!" Lucas was practically on his knees now begging for any way to prevent this split from happening. Yet it was clear that Brooke had made up her mind up.

"I made my decision and I want to split. I think it's time for you to go now."

Lucas sighed then stood up. For the first time in a long time, tears from his eyes began falling. He had really screwed up, his marriage was basically over. Brooke would never forgive him for what he'd done. Still, he had hopes that she might change her mind. If not tonight, then maybe tomorrow or the day after, or next week or next month.

"I wanna see the kids before I go" Lucas demanded.

"I don't think that's such a good idea. "

"Why not?!"

"Because they're sick. Preston has the chicken pox and Mercedes and Landon got the flu bug."

"It's okay. I just wanna kiss them goodnight."

"Lucas, come some other time-
"No Brooke. They're my kids too and I wanna see them right now, damn it!" Lucas exclaimed. He and Brooke were already sounding like a bitter divorced couple.

"Fine. Just hurry up and get out of here".

Landon started crying. "That's your call" Brooke threw Lucas the baby monitor and he raced upstairs to the nursery.

Upstairs, Lucas opened the light and lifted Landon out his crib and he immediately stopped crying when he saw his father.

"Hey buddy, you sick?" Lucas asked rocking him lightly.

Landon looked up and held his hand up. Lucas kissed it gently and rocked Landon back to sleep. Brooke stood at the door watching. Lucas laid the baby back in the crib and walked down the hall to Preston's room. He had spots all over his body.

"I can take him to the doctor in the morning" Lucas offered Brooke.

"No that's okay, I'm going to take Mercedes and Landon anyway"

"Don't you have work?"

"I took off for the next few weeks until I figure out what to do"

"You don't have to do that. You can leave them with me at my moms"
"We'll talk about it" Brooke yawned and led Lucas to Mercedes room.

Lucas planted a kiss on his daughter's head and she opened her eyes sleepily. "Daddy?"

"Shhh, go back to sleep" Lucas whispered putting a blanket over her.

'Great. Now Mercy's going to think Luke is back from this trip I've been telling her he's on. Time to think of a new lie' Brooke thought to herself.

"Good night" Lucas said heading downstairs, hoping Brooke would at least walk him to the door. She didn't and instead headed to their bedroom and closed the door behind her.

Lucas locked the door to the house and went to into his car. "That went well. Nice going Scott" he said aloud, then drove across town back to his mother's house.

Brooke lay in bed, tired. She missed Lucas so much, it hurt. But she had to deal with it. There was no way she could take him back. She cried herself to sleep that night, though tears did nothing. It didn't erase what Lucas had done to her and it didn't erase the feelings she still had for him. Somehow, she would need to learn how to live without him. Then a thought occurred to her – Jake. Did he know about the kiss? Probably not. Brooke knew what she had to do. She had to go see Jake and let him know what had happened. It was time to bust Peyton!

The following morning Brooke headed to the hospital. She was going to go see Jake at the hotel he was staying at, but first she had to see Peyton. Surprisingly, Lucas wasn't there with her. 'He's probably running back from Peyton to Braydin trying to be superman' Brooke thought. Peyton was laying on the bed reading pamphlets on newborn care when Brooke stormed into the room.

"You bitch! You kissed him?! What's it going to take to get it in your head Peyton Sawyer?! You're a dead woman now!"

"Are you threatening me?" Peyton asked wide eyed.

"Oh, you're way past the threatened part. You're going to pay for this, I swear to you if it's the last thing I do!"

"You don't deserve Lucas. He's too hot and good for you"

Brooke raised her hand to slap Peyton but Peyton pulled away. "Nurse!" she called.

"You can't hide Peyton. I'm going to find you and make your life a living hell even when Lucas and I get divorced and he runs in your arms. I promise you that"

"You're divorcing him?" Peyton seemed all interested in the conversation now.

"Yeah go throw a party. But you better watch your back" Brooke warned, slamming the door on her way out. She headed to the Hilton to see Jake.

"Can you tell me what room Jake Jagelski is in please?" Brooke asked the receptionist when she reached the hotel.

"1204 ma'am"

"Thanks" Brooke took the elevator up and knocked on the door.

Jake opened it. "Brooke what a nice surprise! i was just heading to the hospital to see Peyt-

Brooke put her hands on Jake's cheek and pulled him into a long, juicy kiss as she entered the room and closed the door behind her. They fell to the bed, making out and after a few moments Jake pulled away. "Whoa Brooke what are you doing?"

"I want you Jake."

"Where is this coming from?"

"If my husband can sneak around with your wife behind our backs, we can do the same" Brooke said unbuttoning Jake's shirt.

"What?" Apparently Jake knew of nothing that was going on.

"I knew it! I knew you didn't know Peyton's been all over Lucas!"

"Wait what are you talking about?"

"Where were you that night when Peyton and Lucas met up at the café?

"I was here sleeping. I was sick that day."

"So you knew they were seeing each other that evening?"

"Yeah. I told Peyton she should go see Lucas''

"Did you tell her she should kiss him again too?"

"She kissed him?!"

"Yeah..Lucas told me himself. They shared a kiss yesterday after he delivered your baby. God knows what they did that first night at the café."

"I don't believe this!"

"I told Lucas last night that I'm finished with him. I wondered if you knew what he and Peyton have been up to so I decided to come tell you myself"

Jake was in total shock. "I don't understand how Peyton could do this to me?!"

"Now you know how I feel." Brooke leaned closer to kiss Jake.

"Are you sure you wanna do this? I'm bursting with anger too right now, but do you think sleeping together will fix this?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. But at least it'll take our minds off our cheating spouses." Brooke said, then she lowered her voice and whispered "Don't you want me Jake?"

"Yeah I think I do." Jake replied kissing Brooke's neck. The two of them got hot and heavy…
