A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Glad you guys like my story!
Disclaimer: Nothing!
I woke up to a loud shout from Nathan. He was telling me to turn on the TV to channel five. There was something I needed to see. I rubbed my tired eyes and quickly put in my contacts cursing Grey the whole way. She told me when she got her money she was going to get me Lasik. Another promise she broke. I searched for changer and turned the TV on and gasped at the screen. The headline on the bottom of the screen read:
GREY SIMON'S FALL FROM GRACE!
And the reporter started talking about the last thing I ever wanted to hear.
It was reported last night that Grey Simon was found coming out of her apartment and looked like she was under the influence of something. When paparazzi asked her how she was doing she went off on a rampage about how she had nothing and how Hollywood ruined her life. Here is the disturbing tape.
"Grey Simon! Grey Simon! How are you tonight?" A reporter asks as Grey stumbled through the crowd with Devon right behind her shielding her from the spotlight. Grey stopped and turned with a look of bitterness.
"Why do you want to know? It's not like you care! Hell, no one cares! You all just want to see how long it takes from me to become crazy like that Lohan girl! Well here you go, I lost it! I had a good life until you damn people ruined it for me! Told what to say, what to do, what to feel! You want to know what I want to really say. I want to say go to hell! That I hate everything about this damn place! I feel locked up in my own life and I feel as if my life runs me! You want to know what I want to do. I want to go home and have my mom hug me and say everything is going to be okay! I want to dye my hair back to my natural color! I want to stop living a lie! You want to know how I really feel! I feel tired! Tired that I screwed up everything that I had for money! Tired of lying to the whole world! Tired of having to deal with all of you! I am pissed off that I lost everything! Depressed that the one person that knew me and looked up to me wouldn't care or even know if I was dead! That is how I am tonight! So now, you can leave me the hell alone!" She cried her eyes darting everywhere and then whispering "Even you Loo" and with that she got into the car and Devon drove off.
The TV went black and Nathan and I turned around to see mom with tears in her eyes and pointing the TV changer at the TV. Nathan looked back at me with fire in his eyes.
"What the hell did you do?" He whispered with clenched teeth.
"I…I just wanted her to know how I felt." I stuttered scared with how Nathan was acting. He had never acted this way before and it was unexpected.
"What did you say?"
"I don't remember! I was just so upset and mad! She said I didn't exist and that mom was crazy! I just wanted her to feel the pain! I told her that I didn't have a sister and her and Devon had no one." I rambled.
"How could you be so damn stupid Brooke? You knew she would do something like this would happen!" He yelled getting in my face.
"Nathan." My mom said sternly.
"No, she needs to hear it" He snapped not looking away from me.
"I wasn't thinking, okay!" I snapped.
"You never think Brooke! Damn it! You are the biggest dumbass in the world! Always have been! I wish you left instead of Grey! No one would have cared if you left! Easton and Devon wouldn't have left and we would have had the perfect family… without you! We would have all had it so much easier! You are just a disease that makes everyone else depressed! You are just like Dan! Why don't you be like Grey and leave!"
"Nathan Royal Davis! Don't you dare say that. Brooke that isn't true." My mom said walking over to us, but I just shook my head.
"No, he's right." I cried walking out the door and running as fast as I could not knowing where I was going.
I feel like I have been running for hours when in reality I have been running for only about twenty minutes. Tears were running down my face and I am pretty sure people were staring. I could feel the cramp in my lower right side starting to form and my nose burning. I ran as fast I could and my legs felt like jelly. I didn't know where I was when I turned into the big neighborhood. I didn't even get halfway through the neighborhood when my knee gave out and I fell to the ground in pain. I sat there and cried with my head on my knees. I probably looked like a lost little child just wanting to go home. I closed my eyes and I don't even remember falling asleep, in front of a random stranger's house.
I woke up and jumped up to be in an unfamiliar living room and I frantically looked around the room, but my knee was still hurting so I couldn't walk very well.
"Hello!" I screamed. I heard footsteps and I curled into the sofa scared. The crazy person rounded the corner and instead of scared I was mad.
"What the hell am I doing in your house?" I snapped at him and he just laughed.
"You were asleep or unconscious or something in my front yard, I didn't people start rumors and I know you don't want that so I brought you in here till you woke up. Don't worry I didn't touch your stubborn ass" He said crossing his arms and leaning up against the door. I slowly got up and limped my way over to her him and slapped him across the face.
"What the hell Brooke! I was being nice!" He snapped throwing his arms out to each side.
"Bastard" I whispered walking back to the couch.
"Well this has been nice, but you're awake. Can't you leave now?" He asked annoyed that I was here. Okay he got me here. I didn't come here on purpose.
"My knee is messed up. Just give thirty minutes and I will leave, okay?" I snapped and he just groaned walking into the kitchen and rummaging through a medicine cabinet. I know that sound from anywhere. I then heard water running and he came back in and handed me the cup and a pill.
"I would like to hurry up the process" He said bitterly.
"Why? You have a whore coming over tonight?" I snapped just staring at the pill
"No, my ass of a step father is coming by to get some clothes before leaving on another trip. I really don't want you here when that happens. Take the pill!" HE snapped falling on to the couch next to me but I just sipped the water.
"Is that a pain pill?" I asked
"Yeah, it's my step father. What the big deal" He said annoyed.
"I… I don't take pain pills." I said and he just rolled his eyes
"Well then hurry up healing. I don't want you here when he comes"
"What? Am I not good enough to meet your oh so rich step father?" I laughed harshly. Who does he think he is?
"Sure. I'll take that reason." He mumbled turning on the TV and flipping through channels and stopping on a news channel and them still showing Grey.
"No, I don't like this channel" I said nervous trying to get the remote away from him, but he was too fast and put it behind his back.
"Please change it." I whimpered and he just stared at me searching frantically for answers.
"Is this reason your running" He asked as I looked away from him so he wouldn't see my tears.
"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled trying not to make my crying known.
"What? Did she say something about not having a sister again?" He pushed.
"No" I cried.
"Did she say she wanted nothing to do with you? Wait she already did that." He snapped.
"Stop" I whispered getting up and limping away from the TV.
"So now, you can leave me the hell alone!" She cried her eyes darting everywhere and then whispering "Even you Loo" I heard once again and I lost it and sobbed and fell to the floor in the kitchen.
"No, you said it to her" he whispered and he walked and sat down next to me.
"Nathan told me to leave like Grey did and how no one wanted me." I sobbed. "I miss him so much." I cried laying my head on his shoulder not knowing why all of sudden felt comfortable next to me.
"Who?" He whispered putting his arm around my waist.
"Nathan, Devon… and Easton" I sobbed. "My dad was a drug addict and left when I was 13. A few of his doctors told us that he went north but then other people say he jumped off a bridge. Easton was like my dad. I looked up to him. He taught me so much. He looked my mom and he just left me. I needed him so much and he left and he doesn't call. He doesn't want to talk to me. Devon always made me laugh. He was so comforting and had the biggest heart, but he was so heartless and didn't think of what my mom would feel or Nathan or me." I sobbed. "I feel like everything is falling apart and every time I try to piece it back together, I break a little more." I cried. I guess Lucas didn't know what to say so he just held me as I cried rocking me back and forth. I finally stopped crying and we heard the door open and close and soft footsteps and Lucas didn't move, just held me.
"You can't take pain pills?" He asked understanding and I just nodded
"Lucas" We heard a voice and Lucas got up and put his hand out and I slowly took it and he pulled me up.
"Yes mam" He said and I inwardly smiled at his manners. God, I am so weird.
"Where are you?" The voice said as she walked into the kitchen "Oh, there you are. Well, hello. Who are you?" She asked motherly staring at mine and Lucas' hand which made me look and see we were still holding hands. I reluctantly pulled away and she just smiled. She reminded me of my mom. I wiped my tear stained face.
"Brooke Davis." I said softly.
"Oh, are you Nathan's big sister?" She asked and I just nodded because I knew if I opened my mouth I would start crying again. "Oh, honey. Are you okay?" She asked walking up to me.
"Mom" Lucas said nervously.
"Yes mam, I am fine" I said barely getting the lie out. The woman stared at me and just took my face in her hands.
"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end" She smiled and I nodded and tears welled up in my eyes. I flung my arms around her which probably surprised her but she wrapped my arms around me.
"Thank you" I whispered hugging her tight.
Karen and Lucas let me go back asleep on the couch mostly because I was too worked up to go home. I woke up to the sound of yelling and I kept my eyes close so they would think I was still asleep.
"She is just here until she is calm enough to go home!" Karen yelled at whoever the recipient was.
"I want her out of my house right now!" I heard a male voice and my whole body stiffened.
"Go to hell!" Lucas snapped.
"Don't use that tone with me son!" He sneered. I slowly got up and tiptoed to the foyer and stood behind the wall, so they wouldn't see me. My heart raced with fear as they fought.
"I'm not your kid!" Lucas yelled in his face and I slowly stepped out and they all turned to me and for the first time I held all the cards and ruin one more person's reputation.
"No, but I am" I whispered. "Hello Dan." I said with as much confidence I could muster up.
