Invisible String
Chapter 14
Authors note : I'm humbled and grateful for the support my readers.
Can you hear my heart beating
Can you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help thinking
And I won't stop now.
"It'll be just like the good old days. Us living together again."
"You're bedroom must feel like a time capsule. You haven't step foot in there in years."
"Are you sure it'll be okay.?" Larry asked.
"Perfect. My red walls. My records. My dad."
"It'll be nice to not be alone." Peyton replied.
"I plan to take an extended leave from work."
"A few months. I put my work in front of being the father you need."
"That's changing now. You're all i have left." Larry proclaimed.
Before leaving the hallway.
After she closed and locked the door. Peyton got into the bathroom.
Showered. Changed into fresh clothes. Determined to forget being in that holding cell.
Xzavier was gone. Which needed to be done. But Lucas knew about the recording Xzavier had made. He had pressed charges against her. Leaving her to be taken by the police.
She heard he was all about Brooke now.
Which made her blood run cold.
She hated Brooke. But her parents hated her more.
Which is why. They were exactly the partners in crime she needed to take Brooke down until she had nothing.
...
The expression on Lucas's face softened. "Us getting together happened so fast."
"I'm in now rush for things to move forward anymore then that."
"I'm in love with you. When it's right for you. It'll be right for us to take that step. In the meantime."
"I want us to experience lif as a couple. Staying behind closed doors in fear. Get's us nowhere. And i want the world to know."
"That i'm dating Brooke Penelope Davis." Lucas stated matter of fact.
Brooke smiled up at him.
"Let's go out for breakfast tommorow. And for lunch. I don't want to hide us either."
"Why shouldn't we openly display how we feel about each other."
"But that will only enrage and anger Peyton." Brooke replied.
"I don't care. The relationship we had was used to get back at you."
"I'm done protecting her."
"It's us against the world now." Lucas proclaimed.
...
Peyton rolled her eyes. As she watched Brooke and Lucas through the hidden camera Xzavier had put up before attacking Brooke.
