Hometown Ties
Chapter 11
"What are you doing here.? How did you.?" Brooke took a deep breath.
"Vince told you were i was. I should of known that business call was a cover up. Honestly i don't know what he told you. But i'm going to be calling Tree Hill home for the next few months at least. My mind is made up on that."
"How did you find out about my pregnancy.?" Brooke asked. Closing the front door.
Her and Victoria standing across from each other.
"Just because you're father and I don't live here doesn't mean we are un aware of the events that have gone on in you're life. Especially back then. Brooke Penelope Davis were you seriously going to keep that baby.?" Victoria asked.
"Yes. I was. That baby would of been created from love. And have two parents that would of put him or her first. But i lost the baby. So you're wish was granted. I should of told Lucas. He deserved the truth. You have no right to be here! This is for family and friends only!" Brooke yelled louder then expected.
"Which one are you exactly.? You're pathetic. Pinning like a naive school girl over a man who isn't deserving to drive my limo or cook my food. Wake up Brooke. This town. These people. Is all he's capable of giving you.! Vince is able to give you the world and so much more. Let Lucas and this town go once and for all!" Victoria shouted back.
When the front door closed again. It caused Brooke to jump and look up.
"Lucas.I don't know how much of this conversation that you heard. But i can knew i was pregnant and that i had a miscarriage." Brooke spilled out. Attempting to catch her breath. Reeling from what her mother had just said.
"I think it's time for you to leave. And feel free to take that overdressed ass with you. You also know him as Vince. You would think after all these years. You would realize what you lost in never getting to know you're own daughter. But you've proven me right on one thing. You're empty, cold, and without a heart or feelings. No wonder you and Ted are so perfectly suited." Lucas stated. Staring at Victoria.
"Are you coming or not.?" Vince questioned. Looking to his wife.
"No i'm going anywhere with you. actually. I want a divorce." Brooke proclaimed.
"I'll have the paperwork filed and sent to you in a few weeks." Vincent said. Following Victoria into the limo.
Lucas was relieved that Theo. Lilly. And their friends were a distance away unable to hear and see any of this encounter.
Brooke's gaze landed on Lucas. Unshed tears welled up in her eyes.
"Lucas i want to talk. We need to clarify things. Please." Brooke pleaded. The emotion in her voice thick.
"There the two of you are. Theo and the rest of the kids are back inside and ready for cake." Rachel said.
"I should get back in there." Lucas replied. Putting a smile on his. Turning from Brooke as he re entered the home.
Brooke quickly turned from Rachel. Wiping her eyes. Trying to pull herself together.
"What's wrong.? What happened.?" Rachel asked. The expression on her face full of concern.
"Nothing." Brooke said. Re entering the home. As she smiled widely. Joining the growing group of party guests.
"Happy Birthday to you!" The united voices sang.
Lucas recorded on his cellphone as his son blew out the candles on his double layer cake.
Applause and cheers soon filled the room.
...
Hours Later
Lilly was asleep upstairs. While Theo was spending this upcoming week with his mom. They had shared custody of the boy. 50/50.
Lucas took a deep breath. And sat down on the front steps of his home.
Hearing footsteps coming towards him.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright best friend. I'm here to listen. What's on you're mind.?" Haley asked. Taking a seat beside him. Putting a hand on her belly.
"Brooke. Her being back had already been affecting me. But now after finding out that she was pregnant and lost our baby back in high school. I'm at a loss with what to say or what to do." Lucas admitted.
Haley took ahold of his hand in hers.
"Me and you're future god children are here to help." Haley replied.
...
"I know it's late. And the two of you in you're own bubble. But i didn't know where else to go. I just really need you." Brooke admitted.
Peyton engulfed Brooke in a tight hug. Leadind the way into the home.
"Brownies and ice cream. Are a must. What do you need to talk about.?" Peyton asked. Pulling a blanket over Brooke.
Who was now seated on the couch.
"Lucas. He knows about the baby." Brooke said. Tears falling from her eyes.
Peyton made her way back over to the couch. On a tray was two pints of single serve ice cream. And four brownies. She plated it on the coffee table carefully.
Peyton wrapped her arms around Brooke.
As Brooke fell apart. Allowing herself feel the pain of the loss she suffered.
When she eventually pulled herself together. Brooke focused her gaze on Peyton.
"I need to tell you what happened to me almost a year ago. I was attacked by Xzavier Daniels at my store in the city. He hurt me. Emotionally. Mentally. Physically." Brooke confessed.
