Hey everyone. Sorry for the wait. I've been busy with projects and test lately and now I am at my dads. I had it all ready to be posted by I thought I write it over and make it better then I had it. So now we are on are way back from Dollywood; which was pretty fun, I finally found time to write this with out any one wondering what I am typing. I really don't know where I want to go with this story so if you have an idea please tell me. Again sins I did not have Miranda read and fix it yet since I forgot her email to send her it and it's been a while since I updated so think of it as a little Christmas present (that's a little late). So please enjoy it.
Disclaimer- I own nothing or the song just the things I am wearing and my big brain.
Summary- She grew weaker and weaker by each step he took towards the closet door, a kid hiding frightfully under each arm. No one was meant to be this terrified of life.

"Callie please stop crying for mommy." Brooke said as the walked up the stairs to the front door.
"I want daddy." The girl cried even more as he blond curly hair shook from side to side. After all He did to them she was still a little Daddy's girl.
"Babe please be stop." Brooke begged as a familiar face opened the door.
"Uncle Nafan!" Callie and Keith screamed hanging on to him.
"Hey Cal and little man." Nathan laughed opening the door more for them to come in from the cold winter Carolina night, "He was drunk again wasn't he?"
"Nate when did this all happen?" Brooke cried as a pair of strong arms pulled her into a hug, "Why did he do this? He promised last time it go bad that he would stop and that last what a week?"
"Brooke you knew this was going to happen sometime?" Nathan pointed out.
"I know." Brooke yelled.
"Mommy sad?" Keith asked.
"Yeah Keith." Brooke said messing up the boys' hair.
"Come on munchkins lets go lay down for a little bit so mommy can calm down a bit." Nathan said picking up Callie.
"Night-night mommy." Callie said blowing kisses at her mom.
"Night-night Baby." Brooke said blowing kisses back, "Night Keith." Brooke said getting a stair from the boy.
"Just relax Brooke he needs to relax a little just like you." Nathan said walking into the guest room of his apartment.
"Brooke?" Nathan asked walking back into the room.
"Nathan how could I be so bad? I let him do this to me. Ruin my life and everything right in front of the kids." Brooke cried.
"Brooke don't do this to your self. It's not your fault. Lucas is the one who ruined this by drinking and hitting you." Nathan said trying to comfort her.
"But I let it happen this long. I should have left as soon it started when the twins where born." Brooke said.
"Brooke you did leave. But he found you. When I told you to press charges you refuges to."
"What else was I supposed to do? He threatened to kill Callie and Keith."
"You know I would never let him come near you three?"
"I know that but I was scared for my life."
"You go sleep in my bed tonight Brooke."
"Nate are you sure? I can always sleep on the couch."
"I'm positive Brooke. I'll be fine out here."
"Thanks again for letting us stay here."
"You're family Brooke, that's what we do for each other."
"Thanks again."
"No problem Brooke."
"Nathan open this door now!" The voice said banging on the door, "I know she's in there her cars here."
"Lucas go away!" Nathan yelled opening the door.
"Tell Brooke to get her butt out here with those brats."
"They are your kids Luke so don't call them brats."
"Uncle Nafen why are you yelling?" Callie said rubbing her eyes as she walked out of the bedroom, "Daddy."
"Hey Callie." Lucas smiled,
"Callie Abigail Scott get your but back into that room!" Brooke yelled noticing her husband was in the apartment.
"Nice to see you too wife." Lucas smirked.
"Mommy daddy's here." Callie smiled as Keith walked over to them.
"What do you want?" Keith said with a pout to his dad.
"I come to pick up you three and take you home."
"Not going to happen." Brooke said.
"Then fine Callie come on we are leaving." Lucas said opening the door.
"Not with her." Nathan said slamming the door shut.
"Mommy come with us." Callie smiled.
"Keith run back to your room now." Brooke said as the little boy hid behind her instead, "Callie come here!"
"But mommy."
"Callie now." Brooke demanded as the girl tried to get away from her dad.
"You're not going anywhere." Lucas said pulling out a gun that was hiding in his pants.
"Lucas please put this down." Brooke begged, "Just don't hurt her."
"Lucas don't do anything stupid." Nathan said trying to be calmly.
"Now you are trying to be a good brother. First you take my wife from me. Now you are taking my whole family away. Not going to happen Nate."
"Please just don't hurt her Luke." Brooke cried.
"Mommy I'm scared." Callie cried.
"I know babe. Just stay calm." Brooke said.
"Help mommy. Help Uncle Nafan."
"We're trying to babe."
"Please Luke just let her go. Shoot me instead." Brooke pleaded.
"Fine." Lucas said as on single sliver bullet went into the air.
