Chapter Four: Fall Away

Brooke sat quietly in the front seat of Peyton's car, she watched the changing scenery absorbing the words from the song. Her hands gently resting in her lap. Peyton reached over, and put her hand on top of Brookes, giving her a light squeeze. Brooke looked over, and Peyton gave her a reassuring smile.

"Thing's are going to be different now." Peyton said, moving her hand back to the steering wheel. Brooke turned her attention back to the scenery, unsure if she would be able to handle the things to come.

Peyton pulled into the driveway of the home, she'd grown up in. Reaching into the backseat she grabbed Brooke's bag before getting out of the car. Brooke remained seated, Peyton went to Brooke's side of the car and opened the door for her, offering her hand to her. Hesitantly Brooke accepted, and they made they're way into the house, hand in hand.

"Have you eaten anything?" Peyton asked from the doorway of the kitchen.
"No, but I'm not hungry." Brooke replied from the couch. Peyton disappeared into the kitchen and came back with two cups of ice water.
"If you want anything help yourself, you know where everything is." Peyton said taking a seat on the couch next to Brooke.

Brooke began to cry, and tried furiously to wipe the tears away.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Peyton questioned, moving closer to Brooke.
"I'm just, overwhelmed. Your being so nice to me after everything that happened."
"Brooke that was two years ago, I know our friendship hasn't been the best since then, but I'm willing to work at it." Peyton pulled her into a tight hug, and let her cry.
"Can you tell me what exactly is going on between you and Lucas?"
"I don't know what's going on."
"Why don't you start from the beginning?"
Brooke pulled back, and tried to stop her tears, "The first time he hit me was months ago, he apologized right after and said he'd never do it again, and kept telling me he loved me. Then I started to notice things in him, he seemed so distance, so angry. Before he hit me, I'd see a look in his eyes. Before he would go after me, I'd know he was angry. It's like he's battling something inside himself."
"Why'd you stay with him?"
"I was scared that if I left, he'd come after me. But mostly because I thought he'd go back to his old ways, I love him so much. I'm scared to be without him, but I'm scared to be with him." Brooke whispered, tears glazing her eyes again.

Lucas walked into the home he shared with Brooke, and noticed right away that something was missing. He walked into the living room, and noticed that the glass and spilt coffee was cleaned up. He started calling for Brooke, but received no answer. Heading into the bedroom, he noticed some of her clothes were gone. Fearing the worst, he looked around the whole house before collapsing onto the bed.

'It's the one you can't erase
You should have made it right, so you wouldn't have to fight'

Brooke was gone, and Lucas had no idea where she'd gone to. His worst fear had come true, he had lost Brooke. The one person he didn't think he could live without.
