Under My Control

Chapter 26

Hours Later

In the morning

Lucas ran his fingers along her back. Taking in the sight of her fast asleep beside him. He watched her sleep unable to stop the smile that came to his lips.

Seeing the woman he loved this way. Blissfully happy and content was all he ever wanted. He looked forward to getting married and raising their family. Having their family focused peaceful life.

...

Rachel laid down a framed photo picture of Haley and Jamie. Close by the tombstone.

"I will admit this here for you're ears only. I was jealous of you. For a long time. Before i knew you after i did. Simply because unlike me you had a real family and friends. People that cared about what happened to you. Once we became friends i realized how wrong i was to judge before really knowing you. You could of written me off as a bitch or a bully but you didn't. Instead you welcomed me to you're life and you're friends lives. It's because of you i have any of this happiness and peace. I owe you."

"Peyton and I will figure out what's really going on. And bring Brooke and Lucas in on it. They deserve the truth no matter what that is."

"I'll come back and visit soon. Next time i'll bring flowers and not talk as much. Bye Haley." Rachel said. Lowering her gaze as she left the cemetery.

Tree Hill Top Suite

Sometime Later

Ms. Walker glanced down at the check again. A pleased with herself smile went across her lips.

She was older with black thin hair mostly always pulled up in a messy bun. She was medium height. Long and lengthy. She was in her early 30's.

Sam exited the bathroom. Her hair was brown and straight. Her eyes were a dark brown she had peaches and cream skin complexion. The minute you looked at her you saw innocence and once she gave you her sob story you were hooked.

Because who doesn't want to help an orphaned pregnant teenager.

Sam heard knocking at the front door of her suite. She rushed over which was really fast walking. Opened the door and smiled at the person standing across from her.

She leaned over placing a kiss on his lips.

The teenager entered the hotel suite looked around then focused his gaze on his girlfriend and her mother.

"Quentin Fields what brings you all the way to North Carolina. I thought we left you back hundreds of miles from here." Ms. Walker said.

Quentin stared back at her. He was African American. Towered over Sam. At 6'3. Black hair cut short. Brown eyes.

"I called him to make sure he is aware of everything. You stay hidden for now. Once everything is finished. The three of us will meet up." Sam said.

"Keep you're eyes on the prize kid. 10,000 dollars, a house, and alot more as long as this goes the way we planned. Cause let's be real. The chance of you. Making it in the NBA are slim. This baby is the best chance we have." Ms. Walker said.

Sam nodded her head in agreement.

"I know what's at stake. I have it covered." Quentin said.

...

"We're engaged!" Brooke announced happily. Showcasing her ring. Lucas stood beside her. "We want to get married as soon as possible." He proclaimed.

Rachel and Peyton looked to each then back at the couple.

"We need to talk to you." Rachel said.

Peyton took ahold of Brooke's hands in hers.

"It's important. This conversation can't wait. The both of you need to sit down and listen." Peyton said.

Awhile Later

After Peyton and Rachel explained the evidence they had dug about.

They expected a reaction that would result in them being bought closer together. Instead it brought them apart.

"Get out! Of my store and my life. Our life." Brooke yelled.

"It isn't enough that Keith, my mom, my sister were all taken from. Now you're trying to take this away from us too! Lucas yelled.

"This friendship is over! Stay away from us!" Brooke yelled. Before her and Lucas stormed out of the store.
