"Brooke?"Luke shooke her; "Brooke your just having a bad dream."
Brooke blinked open her eyes letting a few tears fall;Lucas gently kissed them away."Its okay pretty girl I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you"he held her close so there was barely a crack of air between them.
Broke looked up into his eyes, being with him felt so right, so calm. She knew though. He had cheated on her; cheated. God what is wrong with her 'hes only with you because he pitys you' shes scolded herself. Why why was she always so weak with him. Well not now, now she had to be strong. "Luke you should go."
"What?! No! Brooke c'mon I thought we'd-"he rose his voice, but she cut him off;
"Luke one night I needed to feel safe. So thanks, but this doesn't change things. You love my bestfriend, and that pain you caused didn't just go away. I don't need you or your pity."she scoffed he lowered his eyes
"I don't love her, this isn't about pity you mean so much to me, if I could take those things back-"
"But you can't; look lucas i have to go thanks I guess..."
"Brooke please dont't shut me out not when your going through this; please let me help."
"I cant Luke; I just can't."she stuttered he rubbed her cheek softly
"Do you think you ever will be able to?"
"I think so; I just need time" She wanted to let him back in; he made her life worth something for the first time in forever.
"I dont want you to be alone right now No matter what you think Brooke; you mean so much to me"
"Ok, i'll stay with Bevin for a couple nights, ok.."
"Brooke things are gonna change in a few nights" Lucas sighed frustrated with Brookes resistance
"Luke what do you want me to do shes my mother! You think I enjoy her rampages, but i can't send my own mother to jail!!! No matter what shit she does to me"
"Brooke c'mon your not think rationally; you could get really hurt"
"Just shut the hell up I'll deal with things my way, and you can just stay out of it. You have no right to tell me what to do!" She yelled spinning around hopping in her car leaving Lucas stranded-he had his cell; he'd be fine.
Brooke sped down the highway on her way back to Tree Hill. She hoped snince it was early her family would be asleep...She pulled into her driveway
'it'll be fine; shes sleeping.' she convinced herself.
Brooke quietly unlocked the door and tip toed upstairs.
'Brooke you can do this grab a few things, and your outta here.'she thought nervously. She turned the knob slowly opening her bedroom door she ran inside grabbing her Coach suitcase, filling it with 5 cute tops her favorite jeans and a few skirts. She threw in her ipod, tooth brush, and makeup.. Turning around to bolt she stopped dead in her tracks..
"going somewhere?"she herd her mom slur; she'd been drinking.
"yea I'm staying with a friend for a few days."brooke mumbled
"Oh is that so.. Well I guess I'll just start my payback early then"Her mother snarled slapping her across the face leaving a big red hand print.
"Wheres drew mom?" Brooke yelled threateningly hoping to scare her off
"out for the morning"she yelled, grabbing brooke by the neck and slamming her against the wall
"regret what you said yet brookie? her mom laughed
"Nope."That resulted in her grip tightening nails searing into her neck, brooke's vision started going hazy; she was slowly drifting off barely aware of her mother violent words;you deserve this, you got yourself into this. When she heard a new voice from somewhere..
"Mom what the fuck?!!"she heard a distant voice yelling as her throat was released, and she saw her mom in tears on the ground.
"Whats going on?!"He yelled giving his mother a disgusted look.
Brooke found the courage to speak
"This this is why i'm upset Drew this is why im taking it out on our precious mommy. Shes been beating the shit out of me since i was 13."
"Brooke I am so sorry I didnt-"Drew stuttered before she cut him off
"save it, i dont really give a shit about what either of you have to say."
"Brooke, please" Drew yelled his eyes glazing. She didn't care though, she picked up her things and walked out the door..
