Don't Hate me for the ending guys!
Chapter Six: And We All Fall Down
Lucas sat on the couch playing Playstation with Hadyn. Wyatt sat on the floor holding a bowl of popcorn watching and Paige was on Lucas's lap messing with his controller when Brooke got home. She smiled at Hadyn and ruffled her blond hair.
"No more video games right now. Mommy and Daddy need to talk. Your Aunt Peyton is going to take you to her house. Go get your bags."
Luc gave her a look as the kids got their stuff. She shook her head, signaling him not to ask and went to supervise the kids packing. Twenty minutes later they were gone and the house was quiet. Lucas leaned against the kitchen counter and watched her closely.
"Brooke what's up?" She sat down and put a hand on her belly unconsciously thinking about the baby there.
"You aren't going to be happy with me Luc. Actually you will probably hate me. But you need to know so I am telling you."
He sat down beside her and covered his hand with hers, which she jerked away. He shouldn't be nice to her right now,
"Remember when we had that huge fight and I left? When Wyatt was a baby?" Lucas nodded and leaned back in his chair.
"Well, I did something that night that I shouldn't have done. I knew what I was doing was wrong but I did it anyway."
His blue eyes searched her face and tried to figure out what she was saying.
"I slept with someone Lucas. Paige isn't yours."
Lucas looked at her like she was the most despicable creature on this earth. Then his eyes went cold.
"Who was it?" The person who was talking wasn't her Lucas. It was a harsh, grating voice that brought tears to her eyes.
"Nathan." He jumped out of his seat and Brooke could see the tears in his eyes. Her own were falling now, like sheets of rain down her cheeks. He grabbed her wrist.
"Stop crying Brooke. You have no right." She winced in pain and sobbed harder. He was right. He should be crying.
"Stop it! Now," Brooke took a few huge gulps of air and did as she was told. He had pulled her out of her seat.
"How dare you? How dare you tell me this two years after she was born? And cry?" His own tears were falling now, she had never seen him like this. Not even when his mom had died three years before. She looked away and stared at the floor. He grabbed her face in his hands and made her look at him. The pain in his eyes made her chest hurt.
"Brooke, I need you to get out of my house. Because you are not the girl I married. Go stay with Peyton or something. I don't give a damn. But you can't stay here."
She took a step away from him trying to say something. But she couldn't say instead she pressed a kiss to his cheek and fled.
Haley looked at Nathan as if had just hit her.
"You cheated on me? How dare you? I want you out Nathan." He nodded watching the tears rushing down her cheeks. Micah was screaming and Haley went over and picked him up. She looked back at Nathan.
"Now!"
She turned and ran up the stairs, her sobs filling the air along with their sons.
