Quicksand
Chapter 11
Is this how you thought our lives would turn out.?
Would you do it differently?
I'd try to appreciate the things i took for granted.
"I love you too. But what i want. And what needs to take priority isn't me. I need to get Peyton and Ellison through this."
"Which means you have every right to move on and figure out what life will look like going forward."
"I can't give you what you want. I'm sorry." Lucas stated matter of fact.
"Its who you are Lucas. I won't fault you for making this choice." Brooke replied. Before leaving the home.
...
Days Later
Peyton moved in with Lucas and Ellison.
Lucas's home was more then big enough to her and everything she brought along.
Ellison was practically jumping off the walls with excitement and happiness.
For the first time in his young life. The three of them were going to live together and be a real family.
As weeks turned to months. Everyone in one way or another moved on with life and what they wanted out of it.
Rachel and Mouth found their way back together at last.
As for Brooke she focused on her work and traveling needed for her fashion line. And when she wasn't doing that.
She was with her friends. Dating here and there. Nothing really stuck.
Peyton hung on and made the most out of life 8 years.
By that point. Alot had changed and some things never did. Peyton and the friend group were 31. Ellison was 14.
As Peyton's last hours came and went. She was surrounded by love and support.
Ellison was her final image before drifting away.
