Torn
Chapter 14
I couldn't stand being in that house without them. Now this was finally beginning to make sense. Peyton was back in our life I knew she had to do with Brooke going missing and she's kidnapped Eli. God knows what she is going to do. I let the police leave our house and took in their warning to stay behind and let them handle it. Peyton is working with someone. There is no way she's pulling this off alone. I don't have any idea where she is or where she would take them. All I knew for sure was that my family was in danger and in need I wasn't just going to stand by and watch it happen I was angry, desperate, and willing to do anything I had to do. Which is why I was here. Lucas thought to himself.
As he walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
Minutes Later the front door opened.
A look of surprise and shock went across the other person's face.
(Lucas.) The voice said.
(Dan.) Lucas said.
(What is it.? What's wrong son.?) Dan asked.
(My son was kidnapped by Peyton Sawyer. Brooke is missing. I know she had a huge part in what happened. The police are doing everything they can. None of it is resulting in any leads. Peyton and whoever she's working with are distributed and vengeful. I need help. I have to bring them back home.) Lucas said. Looking to him.
(Come in. We can figure it out together. I will help you in anyway I can.) Dan said.
Lucas walked inside and shut the door behind him.
...
(I've been so patient waiting to be able to hold you in my arms and kiss you. You are the only woman I want. Being able to finally express that is worth the wait.) Xzavier said. Looking to her.
(I feel the same way. You were right. My life, the work, Lucas, being a other to Eli. It's boring and routine. I would much rather see the world with you. And forget them.) Brooke said. Leaning over kissing him.
He kissed her back. Eventually the two separated.
(Let's get rid of these clothes and get more comfortable and aquantied with each other.) Brooke said. Looking u up at him.
(Now that's better.) He said. As he started to undress her.
She stopped him. Looking into his eyes.
(I knew it was you watching me. I've waited for this day as well and I want to take it slow and take my time. I'm going to get you undressed first then it's your turn.) She said. Smiling up at him.
(Whatever makes you happy Brooke.) Xzavier said. Giving her complete access to him.
She leaned over kissing him. And started to take off various articles of clothing once she saw it she reached for the gun.
She grabbed it aiming it towards him.
It was then that the front door opened.
(Momma!) Eli 's voice exclaimed.
He attempted to run to her.
Peyton tighned her grip on him.
(What the hell is going on here!) Peyton yelled.
(She tricked me!) Xzavier exclaimed.
(Let him go Peyton! Eli is an innocent boy. You're issues are with me and Lucas. He has no part in this.) Brooke said. Pointing the gun at Peyton.
(Are you kidding me! If it wasn't for Eli! Lucas would of come back to me! You became a burden a responsibility! It's all his fault! He has to pay!) Peyton yelled. Pointing the gun back at Brooke.
(Leave my momma alone!) Eli yelled. Attempting to free himself from her grasp.
It was then that the gun went off.
Brooke's screams filled the empty house.
As Eli collapsed in her arms.
(There problem solved.) Xzavier said.
(No! Baby wake up! Eli open you're eyes!) Brooke yelled.
Cradling the young boy in her arms.
Her heart breaking as she looked to him.
Blood soaking into her shirt. His eyes remaining shut.
Peyton looked to Xzavier.
(Thank you for doing what I couldn't.) She said. Looking to him.
(We need to go and leave town. Before anyone finds us.) Xzavier said. Taking a hold of Peyton 's hand.
Brooke brushed the hair from his face.
(Come on wake up my sweet boy. Open those beautiful eyes of yours.) Brooke pleaded as the tears from her eyes fell.
(I got our passports, the money, let's get out of here.) Xzavier said.
Peyton took his hand as they started to make their way out the home.
(Put your hands up. And drop any items you have!) The police officer said.
(You are under arrest for the kidnapping of Eli Scott and Brooke Davis!) The other officer said. As he arrested both Xzavier and Peyton.
Lucas rushed inside the house and went behind Brooke.
(Xzavier shot him. For Peyton. He broke free from her grasp and was trying to protect me. ) Brooke said. Gazing up at Lucas.
(We need to get him to the hospital.) One of the officers said.
As the ambulance workers went inside the house. Carefully lifting Eli into the stretcher.
(Thank you for helping me find them.) Lucas said. Looking to Dan.
(It's the least I can do. Go be with Brooke and Eli.) Dan said. Watching as the couple got into the ambulance. That drove off shortly after.
