Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart.
I can't tell where the journey will end.
They tell me i'm too young to understand.
Wake me up when it's all over.
When i'm wiser and older.
Lucas selfishly wanted to agree to Jake's suggestion. Take some pain out of this situation. Especially since Jake still very much had Jenny as his whole world but he knew that wouldn't be fair. So instead he did this.
"Let's work out a visitation schedule of some kind. In order for this to properly work we will have to have communication with Peyton. But we aren't there yet. This is all so raw. Let's really talk. One father to another. I'll tell you all about Sawyer. At the very least you'll be able to find a way to connect with her and build from there." Lucas proclaimed.
As the relief washed over Jake's face. "Thank you.I appreciate it more then you know." He replied softly.
...
The bedroom door opening and closing with the sound of rapid footsteps comng behind her. Caused Brooke to jump.
She calmed at the sight of her sons.
"What are the two of you up too.?" Brooke asked with a warm smile.
"We want to go home." Davis announced.
Jude nodded his head agreement.
"Uncle Lucas's house is home now. It's just the three of us. You're father isn't apart of our family." Brooke reassured them.
...
Sometime Later
"We don't have enough clothes and stuff to fill the drawers and the closet." Davis announced. Jude trailing close behind his brother. Entering Lucas's spare room that was being turned into a home office.
Lucas stopped typing. Closed his laptop and locked his gaze on the boys.
"That is an easy issue to fix. I'll take you shopping. The two of you can get everything you need." He replied.
"Why are you being so nice to us.?" Davis questioned.
Lucas got down to their level. And spoke.
"You're mom and I have known each other a long time. She's been there for me plenty of times. Now it's my chance to do the same for her.I love her very much. The two of you are the loves of her life. Which means you and Jude are very important to me." Lucas explained.
"None of that is real. Our dad said he loved us and our mom. Then he did all of this." Davis replied. Before leaving the room with Jude.
...
Victoria Davis was taken aback by the sight of the burned down home of her daughter and husband.
"See i told you! there is more going on here then we are being told." Victoria stated. Looking to her husband.
As they drove through the streets of Tree Hill. After leaving New York City.
"You win Vickie. I'm concerned and worried. At least Brooke is open to meeting with us." Ted replied.
The limo soon parking itself in front of Lucas's home.
On the porch was Brooke. She got up from where she was seated. And walked over to the limo.
"What happened to you're house.? Julian has informed us that you are going through a difficult timr." Ted asked.
"Why are you and our grandsons staying with Lucas Scott.?" Victoria asked.
Brooke was shaken at the thought of Julian communicating with her parents knowing he was filling their heads with lies. Especially given how little they thought about her to begin with.
"Come inside. It's just us here. Lucas took the boys shopping." Brooke said.
..
Once they were inside the home. Brooke tossed them a heavy journal. She looked at them. And simply told them to read.
The couple were stunned into silence when they eventually finished reading the written words.
"The two of you just met the real Julian Baker. He burned down our house in an attempt to kill me. Davis and Jude."
"Why.? Because after years of enduring his abuse i was done. I was leaving with my sons and he couldn't handle it." Brooke revealed.
"So Ted. Victoria. Has Julian fallen off you're pedestal yet.?" Brooke asked.
