Girl Behind The Red Door Confessions
Chapter 35
Once when I was little
I could dream more than
I could believe more than
That the world would only
Show me good things.
Brooke/Lucas's House
Lucas attempted to write again. It all turned into ramblings. His mind was anything but clear these days. He spent most of his time in here hours on end trying to create a story a way to make sense of what was happening. The more he thought and the longer he let the memories start to take hold of him. He could feel himself start to get angry. He was her father it was his job to protect her and keep her safe instead he was powerless. He spent so much of his life saving other people. Now when it mattered the most there was nothing to be done. Taking a breath. As he started to type again. He would think of something and then when he was finished. He would show it to Juliet. She had to see just how much she had changed him.
Brooke looked at the pictures that covered the walls. She couldn't help but smile when she saw them. So much happiness had been captured by her or Lucas. She needed to hold it together. Because otherwise she would never be able to put herself back together. Her heart had always been strong enough to handle the pain she endured. This time though it was different in every way. Brooke wanted nothing more than to be able to take this away. And bear the unknown of it herself. Lucas and I dealt with things differently. It was in his nature to nurture and protect. For me I wanted to capture every good and happy moment I could. Motherhood didn't come naturally to me at all. When it seemed like I was getting the hang of things something would happen. First to me now to her. She wished there was someone to blame. I can't talk to Lucas. I want to but I'm scared. The minute we're alone and this finally is brought up there is no running or avoiding it. But we need each other more than we ever have. So tonight, we're going to talk and it's exactly what we both need if we're going to survive this.
Brooke thought to herself. As she took a seat and began to sketch.
Nathan/ Haley's house
"Brooke invited you, me, and Jamie. To dinner tonight. It's going to be good to see them. They've been really preoccupied lately. I'm really curious to know what's going on." Haley said. Looking to Nathan.
"I'm sure they will fill us in on everything tonight." "The burning boat festival is in a few days. That is always a fun time." "You can at last get rid of that poncho." Nathan said. Smiling at her.
"Hey that is special I've had it for years plus it obviously worked it's magic I did end up married to you didn't I." Haley said. Leaning over kissing him.
Taking her in his arms. Looking into her eyes as he spoke. "You have a point there Hales but it wasn't the poncho that hooked me." "It was the feeling of being with you and rest of the world fading away." "Your protectiveness and fierceness that comes out in you when someone messes with your family or friends." "That sense of humor and ability to laugh at yourself." "Lastly you are incredibly beautiful." "So, you see it was just a matter of time and fate." Nathan said. Leaning over kissing her. Picking her up and placing her on the counter in the kitchen.
"Nate someone could walk in." "One of our friends or our son." Haley said. Looking up at him.
"Nope Jamie's out with Chuck and we are expecting no one." "Now no more talking." "I can't concentrate on you." "With all these interruptions." Nathan said. Kissing her again.
"So, bossy." Haley said. Smiling at him. Bringing him closer to her.
"Remember what happened last time." "Those lungs of yours are very strong when the neighbors started knocking we had to say you were rehearsing." "Which was a big compliment for me." Nathan said. Looking into her eyes. Smiling.
"I will never apologize for not being to have enough of my sexy husband." Haley said. Kissing him.
Breaking the kiss as she took off his shirt. Then wrapped her legs around him. Looking up at him. Smiling as she started to undo his belt.
Nathan put his hand on hers. Looking up at her.
"Haley James what has gotten into you.?" Nathan said.
"You'll see." She said. As she reconnected their lips.
Nathan went for her shirt. Feeling her temperature rise under his touch. Dropping it on the floor. Placing kisses on her neck. Taking her in his arms. As they went up the stairs. Directly into their bedroom. Nathan closed the door behind them. Laying her on the bed gently.
Looking down at her. "My wife is so hot." He said. Leaning down as he kissed her.
"Damn right." "Stop talking and touch me." Haley said. Looking up at him.
"You say the sweetest things to me Haley James." Nathan said. Leaning over reconnecting their lips.
"Nathan." She said softly.
Her hands gripping tighter on his back.
As he focused on her with more intensity.
Losing track of surroundings and time. As their heartbeats are all they can hear.
...
Jamie bursts through the front door. And began to call out to his parents. Both their cars being in the driveway. Tells him that they are both home. Walking through the living room then the kitchen. He decides to go upstairs and look for them there. He had huge news and needed to tell them as soon as possible.
As he began to call out to them again.
"Mom!" "Dad!" Walking down the hallway.
As he headed for their bedroom.
