Chapter 14 Cure All Pill

"You did what!" Kate asked in utter disbelief of what her friend had just told her.

"I told him I can't marry him."

"Why not?" Kate asked

"Because I'm seriously jinxed when it comes to relationships." Brooke said

Kate sighed. "Sweetie Trav dying wasn't your fault. You can't put your life on hold because you feel guilty." Kate said

"It's not that completely. Travis died; Lucas and I have had our issues. He has that heart thing. I can't risk losing him."

"What if he lives to be 80 and the two of you have a wonderful life together?"

"Kate."

"You know I'm right Brooke." Brooke rolled her eyes.

"I have work to do."

Kate hung up the phone. "Brooke I know what will make all your troubles go away."

"And what might that be?" Brooke asked

"An all expense paid trip to Las Vegas. There's a cosmetics convention there next week."

"Sounds fun."

"Good I'll book the flight." Kate said cheerfully.

"Why are you not coming with me?" Brooke whined.

"I'm coming I'll just be there tomorrow. I have some things I need to take care of."

"Who's the man?" Brooke teased

"Funny aren't we. I'll see you later, now get going or you'll miss the plane."

Brooke got on the plane with a million things running through her mind. It was the first time that she had ever left Leila for more then a night and she didn't know if she could handle it. Plus she had been thinking about Lucas a lot, maybe getting a way from him for a couple days would be a good thing.
