Indecision

Chapter 38

Author's Note : My readers prepare yourselves for what's to come. A boiling point is reached. What no one realizes yet is that Rosemary developed her mother's lack of self worth and low self esteem. Unlike Brooke's experience there is no Lucas to show her that she's capable of !

"At any time feel free to say congratulations on the engagement." Brooke said. Looking to her daughter. The fashion designer and mother had just dropped off Ryan and Kennedy. She needed to go to her store to take care of a personal matter but Rosemary lingered in the car.

Rosemary stared up at her mother and rolled her eyes.

"Congrats i guess." The teenager replied.

"I'll take that as a positive statement. I expect you to apologize to Lucas at some point. In case you thought i wasn't serious about that." Brooke stated.

"Why.? What i said was true. He's not my father. His input wasn't asked for or required." Rosemary replied.

"When you at some point wake up and realize he's only trying to help and has been on you're side this entire time. You're going to regret how you treated him." Brooke said.

"Whatever." Rosemary said. Turning from her mother as she exited the car.

Brooke sighed deeply. Locked the doors. And pulled out the parking lot. In the direction of her clothing store.

...

Brooke closed the door to her store looked up.

"How long have you been here.?" She asked.

"Not long. Thanks again for bailing me out. I wouldn't know what to without you." Rachel said.

"I know these past few years haven't been easy. You're marriage ended. You have no relationship with you're child because you relapsed. I sympathize. But i'm done bailing you out. Either get sober or i'm done." Brooke proclaimed.

Hours Later

Tree Hill Office Building Top Floor.

The man rushed through the hallway and into the the door behind himself.

At the sight of him. Lucas paused.

Larry Sawyer. His ex father in law.

What could he possibly want after all this time.? Lucas thought to him.

"What do you want Larry.?" Lucas questioned.

"My daughter was all i had left."

"Because of you're mother. Peyton will spend the rest of her life in prison. She just had to get involved and inform the police. Karen took her from me. So now i will take you from her."

"Say hello to Keith or Dan depending on who you meet first." Larry stated. Pulling out his gun.

Pointing it at Lucas as he pulled the trigger.
