Caught Up
Chapter 29
Something always brings me back to you.
Never wanted anything so much.
To drown in you're love.
You love me cause i'm fragile.
Set me free. Let me be.
Days Later
"So I don't want pry but i'm curious to know if you and Lucas are in a better place now. ?" Karen asked. As she flipped the sign to her cafe from open to closed.
Before going over to where Brooke was seated.
Bridget was seated nearby. Drinking a bottle.
"Its worse then it was then. And it was bad before."
"I don't want to give up on him or our marriage."
"But at the same time. Our relationship has changed. Things are broken and the drinking is a big concern."
"I feel like i'm repeating my parents mistakes."
"I love Lucas. Yet here i am juggling my job. Bridget and the life we we were supposed to have."
"I know what i have to do. I don't want too. But i have too." Brooke said.
Karen hugged her securely. "You do what's right for you and my granddaughter." She replied.

Awhile Later
Lucas had stopped keeping track of time awhile ago.
Especially when he was trying to write. These days he ended up deleting anything he wrote anyway.
It was the office door opening and closing that brought his attention forward.
He closed the laptop seeing it was Brooke who had entered.
"I need you to be honest with me. About Lindsey. This drinking."
"I cn't stand the thought of us going on like this."
"I've been holding on to us. But all you can do is push me away."
"I won't let Bridget grow up how i did. I refuse too."
"We recommited ourselves to each other because of how in love we were. You feel like a stranger to me now." Brooke admitted.
"Lindsey wanted me to have an affair and i refused which gave her all she needed to make sure my success as a writer didn't exist."
"The drinking isn't a problem." Lucas replied.
Brooke glared at him. "You're sticking to downplaying this situation."
"Remaining in denial. Who are you?" Brooke asked.
"Wat about the person you've become.? You act like we aren't even married. Us sleeping in seperate rooms. I choose you."
"If i wanted Peyton she would come running. Unless being a bitch is a Davis trait you've inherited." Lucas proclaimed.
"I love you. I always will. But this life. Isn't just about us anymore."
"Its about Bridget. Putting her first. And i plan to do that." Brooke replied. Before leaving the office.
