Quicksand
Chapter 16
Brooke hadn't expected to hear from Lucas so soon after their last visit. It wasn't a text. It was a call. His voice soft and quiet.
Asking her to come over to the house. So they could talk.
Brooke thought it over for awhile before making the decision to drive over. And see what Lucas wanted.
When she got to the house. Lucas was waiting for outside the home.
Brooke sighed deeply and got out of the car.
She walked over to where he was. And stood across from him.
"I don't want to hurt you. I am a mess right now."
"I fell back in with her and now she's gone."
"I have deal with that. I had to put away any feelings i had for you."
"That is the only way i could of ever really tried with Peyton."
"I'm just trying to be honest here." Lucas explained.
"I understand that and i'm dealing with the loss of Peyton too."
"But i've had these feelings for you. For years."
"I've tried to bury them and move on. Let you go."
"But i can't. How much longer am i supposed to wait for you.?"
"I've waited 8 years! What am i.? You're rebound! You're replacement!"
"I deserve better then that Lucas!" Brooke questioned. Before walking away.
