A/N-I promised another chapter tonight and here it is. Hope you enjoy it.
It's past visiting hours so everyone decided to go home. That everyone only included Jack and Haley. Brooke and Julian put up a fight with the doctor to let them stay and after much arguing he lost and let Brooke and Julian stay.
Brooke and Julian are on opposite sides of the room and Sam was lying in her bed watching them. The silence has been for awhile now and Sam just can't believe what has become of her family.
When she lived with Brooke and Julian they were so madly in love with each other that it completely drove her nuts, but deep down inside it gave her hope that maybe one day she too could find love like them. It saddened her when Brooke had called her after the break-up and asked to meet her at their favorite hang-out in the park. It was one day that Sam would never forget.
Sam walked up to Brooke who was sitting on a bench looking at everything around her. There were kids playing in the grass, couples doing couple-y things. Sam sat across from Brooke and took her hand.
"Are you okay? You called me and it freaked me out a little bit."
Brooke looked at Sam and sighed.
"Julian and I broke up."
Sam raises her eyebrows.
"Seriously, I never thought that would happen."
"It did. He cheated on me Sam, with the hoe bag."
"Alex Dupre…now I officially hate her."
"Sam, what am I going to do? I don't have anybody."
Sam shakes her head and goes around the table and hugs Brooke.
"You have me. Julian's an idiot. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, too."
The silence finally got to Sam.
"Alright, that's enough!" Sam yells.
Brooke and Julian look at Sam.
"You two are the most stubborn that I have ever met. You two obviously need to talk. So, just talk."
"I don't want to talk to him," Brooke says as she crosses her arms over her chest.
Julian remained silent when Sam looked at him. Sam turned her gaze back to Brooke.
"Yeah, well I never asked to get cut up. Life sucks it's just the way it is. You two should look at yourselves. I'm more of an adult then you two put together it's pathetic, but all I have been doing lying in this bed is watch you two pull apart even more and it sucks because you were my family and you two are all I have. Julian, you screwed up and you have to live with that. Brooke, you don't have to forgive him, but you do have to talk to him. I don't want to be the only reason why you do. So, I am going for a walk and you two talk."
Sam sits up in bed and Brooke walks over to her.
"You are not supposed to be out of bed."
Sam smirks at Brooke.
"When was I the one to follow rules?"
Sam stands up and leans into Brooke's ear and whispers.
"Talk to him, for me," Sam says before she slowly walks out of the room.
Julian and Brooke watched Sam walk out of the room.
"We're we just scolded by a 15 year old."
"No, we were scolded by an almost 15 year old," Brooke says with a small laugh.
"Should we talk?" Julian asks carefully.
Brooke takes a breath and sits down on Sam's bed.
"I guess," Brooke whispers.
"I don't love her Brooke."
Brooke looks up at Julian and shakes her head.
"Where am I supposed to put that?"
"I don't know. I just thought you should know."
"That doesn't make it better Julian. She's pregnant with your baby. It was supposed to be me," Brooke says with tears in her eyes.
"I know, but I can't change it Brooke. I had to do the right thing."
"The right thing Julian, you could do the right thing without having to marry her."
"I can't explain it. I don't think I even have an explanation."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you do it? Cheat on me."
Julian sits down on the bed and looks at Brooke.
"There aren't any excuses. I screwed up and I got drunk. I still can't remember, but I have to do what's right."
"That's what I love about you. Always doing what's right."
"I never wanted this Brooke. I wanted you and I wanted Sam."
"You can't have me, but you can have Sam," Brooke says as her tears fall.
"But I want you."
Brooke stands up from the bed and looks at Julian.
"Is Alex still pregnant?"
"Yes."
"Are you still getting married?"
"Yes."
"Then you can't have me. You just can't and that's what you have to live with," Brooke says before leaving the room to find Sam.
Brooke walked the halls of the hospital looking for Sam. Her mind was racing. She finally had the heart to heart with Julian that she desperately needed. She knows deep down inside that she loves Julian, but she had to let him go. If it was just Alex, her and Julian she would fight, but there was a baby involved and she couldn't compete with that.
Brooke found herself in the hospital chapel. She found Sam sitting in a pew with her knees to her chest and she was rocking back and forth. Brooke sat down next to Sam and she instantly took the young girl in her arms.
"Let it out, baby, just let it out," Brooke whispers.
"W-why is l-life s-so hard?" Sam cries.
"It just is sometimes, but if you are surrounded by the ones you love, it makes life less hard."
Sam looks up at Brooke and wipes her tears away.
"Did you talk to him?"
Brooke nods her head.
"How do you feel?"
"Not so good," Brooke admits.
"Do you need my shoulder to cry on?"
"Yeah, do you need mine?" Brooke asks with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah," Sam says.
And that's how those two sat, crying on each other's shoulders for what seemed like hours when only it was a few minutes. Julian had found them and sat in the back of the chapel and watched as tears silently went down his face until a doctor interrupted them and made Sam go back to her room.
A/N-I know this chapter was a little emotional, but I loved it. I think it was great especially for Brooke and Julian to talk. There is more to come so stay tuned…REVIEW!!!
