Til The End Ch. 4

"What the hell do you mean you're divorced?" Lucas storms into the room dropping his jacket on the couch as he stands in front of his little sister with his arms folded in front of his chest.

"LUCAS ROBERTS, you watch your language." Gram reprimanded from the door as Jason followed behind her carrying a tray of tea.

Lucas eyes narrow as he takes in the man following his grandmother in the room. "Sorry Gram." He smiles but quickly losses it when the he meets the other mans eyes. "Who's your friend?"

Jason steps forward and extends his hand toward Lucas, and smiles. "Hi Lucas, I'm Jason Masters." Jason doesn't show any reaction to the fact that Lucas takes his hand and tries to break his hand. " I've so much about you."

"Really." Lucas turns to look Chloe who refuses to meet his eyes. "I haven't heard a DAMN thing about you."

"LUCAS." Gram understood his anger, Lucas was still very protective of Chloe, and closer then anyone else to her, and to find out that she had been divorced for this long without telling him hurt. She herself had been shocked when Chloe had told her hours ago, but she understood that things had just caught up to Chloe and her husband, and true love like theirs would have to triumph in the end.

"Sorry again." Lucas releases his hand and turns to Chloe, with the pain clearly in his blue eyes." What's going on?"

Chloe could hear the hurt in Lucas's voice, and she felt horrible, she had wanted to tell Lucas on her own, where she could explain why she lied to him all those time he asked about her and Brady, but she had thought that Jennifer, Greta, and Hope she could get help on how to break it to him. "Luc, I………" She could feel the tears trying to force their way to the surface, but fought them down. She relaxed when she felt Jason take her hand and squeeze it. " Luc, I wanted to tell you, but I thought it would be better if I told you in person."

"I don't there is a way for it to go better, Chlo." Lucas runs a hand through his hair and finally notices that his wife is in the room, and from the on her face, she wasn't any happier about the news then he was. "Did you know about this?" She shakes her head, and he turns back to Chloe. " There is no good way for this happen." Lucas tried to keep the anger out of his voice, but he couldn't contain it.

"Lucas, why don't you calm down a little, this is hard for her."

"Why don't you not tell me how to take to my sister." Lucas took an angry step toward Jason that left the men almost eye to eye, and the height difference didn't seem to intimidate Lucas at all.

"Jase, why don't you go see your parents, and leave e to talk to my family." Chloe put a restraining hand on Jason's shoulder, and felt the tension going through his body. "Lucas, and I are fine, it's just a little thing we do."

Jason steps back and deliberately kiss Chloe's cheek as he goes to grab his jacket. "Chloe, call when you're ready." He nods to the people in the room." It was nice meeting you."

As the door closing echoes through out the house, Chloe moves to sit done on the couch by Hope and still can't make her eyes meet her brothers.

"I'm waiting Chlo." Lucas didn't want to sound like he was accusing her, but he wanted answers, if he had to kill Brady for breaking his sisters heart he needed to know now, so he could prepare Greta.

"Lucas, it's none of our business." Jennifer said the words but didn't believe them.

"No, it's fine Jen." Chloe knew they were going to want answers and if she could get through the story once, she wouldn't have to tell it again. "Brady and I had been growing apart for a long time, way before the miscarriage."

" Brady thought we should wait longer to have children, and so when I lost the baby pushed him away. Then Patrick died, and I came home, and spent all my time trying to help Mac, and Brady got jealous of the attention." Chloe got up and began pacing a sure sign that she was still confused about how it happened. "

" We came home, and things were okay for a while, but then we just started going our way." "Brady worked, I toured, and things were strained but fine."

"Then the strangest thing broke us up." Chloe laughs is bitter, and the tears finally found a hole in the gate as they began sliding down here cheek.

The tears are down here face was what got over there, he couldn't stand to see woman cry, and Chloe especially, because she only cried when deeply hurt. He took her into his arms and began calling himself all kinds of names in his head for forcing her to relive this pain.

"Chloe you don't have to do this?" Hope could see the pain on the young woman face.

Chloe step out of Lucas's hug and looked toward her cousin." No, I want to do this." Lucas leads her to the sofa and takes her hand as he sits by her. "I had to go to this party, in London to promote my album, Brady was in Paris working as usual, and so I went alone." "I was there for about two hours when the PR rep said he had some people he wanted me to meet, and so we head over there and who should I see but Brady."

"I was introduced to my husband." Chloe wipes the tears from her cheeks. "Brady didn't even know I was in town, and I obviously had no clue where he was." " We played it off, and made some jokes about how we were firing our assistants, but I could tell Brady was livid."

"We went to the townhouse, and world war III began, just about six hours of name calling and accusations, and by the time it was over I was fed up." "I told him, I was starting a new tour in a week and that he could call me when he became reasonable." "He said I shouldn't wait by the phone, and I told him could wait for my attorney."

" Why didn't you tell us Chlo?"

"I was hoping it would blow over, Brady and I fight all the time, the first day we meet we fought for an hour." "By the time our lawyers were involved, I just through myself back into my work, and just tried to forget." She sees Lucas's fist clench and knows what he thinking." Lucas, it wasn't anybody fault okay, Brady, and I are just over."

Somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean

"Where are we going again darling?" The Blonde woman ran a hand up Brady's arm.

"I told you Marie, we going to a birthday party in my hometown." Brady glanced out the window, not wanting to look at his companion's empty eyes.

"Wait, will your darling Ex-Wife, be there cause I go years without seeing her again." She didn't like Chloe Lane Black, and didn't trust the woman at all.

Brady laughs. "Please, during the busiest part of her tour, not likely." He takes Marie's hand and kisses it. "Trust me Chloe is nowhere near Salem."
