Clean Slate
Chapter 15
Author's Note : Thank you my readers. Stay tuned.
Don't be so quick to judge me. t's easy to have all the answers from a distance, but everybody makes decisions they regret.
Rachel Gatina took off her hat. Wig and sunglasses as she settled into the first class seat she paid for. She knew at some point everyone would find out about the son she shared with Lucas. Along with the fact that she had just dropped him off and left no contact information.
If she had to do it over again. She would of told Lucas about the pregnancy from the start. But there was nothing she could do about that now.
She had put the life she wanted on hold for 13 years. Sure she didn't help him homework or tuck him in at night. No celebrating birthdays or holidays. There was this level of disconnect for her regarding motherhood that just seemed to grow as Eugene got older.
To her relief. He eventually stopped needing on depending on her. Now she had nothing holding her back.
As the plane took off. She took a long sip of alcohol and smiled at the attractive guy seated across from her.

Days Later
Brooke awoke early. Morning sickness was her wake up call. But besides that she heard footsteps coming from downstairs. She checked the room Eugene had been staying in and found it empty.
Which meant it was him down there. Brooke made her way downstairs. Surprised to find the boy in the kitchen.
"Good morning Eugene. Why aren't you asleep.? It's early. You haven't been enrolled in school yet." Brooke questioned. Generally curious.
"I have this thing. I can't really sleep at night. So instead i keep myself busy by finding stuff to do. I made breakfast. Eggs. And sausage. And waffles with cinnamon. If you and Lucas don't like that i can make something else." Eugene explained.
"Sounds delicious. You didn't have to do that though."
"We're here to take care of you. Not the other way around." Brooke replied.
"I've moved around alot. My mom was never really present. I don't get attached to people or places. Who knows how long i'll stay here..?" Eugene confessed.
"Thank you Eugene. This food looks amazing. Once breakfast is over. Brooke is going to head off to work. Which means it'll be just the two of us. I was thinking of going to the middle school and enrolling you in classes. Then going shopping for whatever it is you want or need. What do you think." Lucas asked.
Taking a seat next to Brooke at the table.
"Perfect." Eugene replied. After breakfast.
He went upstairs and took a quick shower. Then started to open up and dig through his suitcases.
He took out his HCM medication and took the prescibed dose. Leaving the bottle on the nightstand.
He then stood in front of the mirror bawled his fist and punched it. Feeling nothing.

Awhile Later
Clothes over bros
Brooke was relieved to finished with her morning rush of customers. She was feeling tired and various parts of her body were sore.
The store front door opened and shut.
"Someone pointed me out to you. Brooke Davis. I'm Julian Baker." The man announced.
...
Victoria returned to the Davis mansion. Wanting to hurt Paul the way he hurt her. And she was desperate for Ted to firgive her.
