Chapter Nineteen-Brooke's Birthday Part 2

About Forty five minutes later Mel opened her eyes and looked up to see Brooke gazing lovingly down at her, she smiled at Mel then leaned down capturing her lips in a soft kiss then leaned back and relaxed against the pillow again, After a few seconds Mel reached her hand up to caress Brooke's right cheek she carefully turned Brooke's head so they were again face to face, They looked lovingly into each others eyes something they hadn't been able to do in a long time it had felt like an eternity to them both. Mel slowly closed the gap between her and Brooke's lips she softly whispered "I love you" before she captured Brooke's lips determined to show Brooke how much through the kiss. As they pulled apart Brooke smiled and replied to Mel's comment "I should hope so after what we just did" Mel blushed uncontrollaby bowing her head onto Brooke's chest but also giggling at Brooke's comment.

After her giggling had subsided Mel pulled her head back up looking at Brooke's face again she again closed the gap between them unable to resist the urge to kiss Brooke, as their lips connected Mel pushed all her energy and emotion into the kiss, as the kiss became more and more passionate she pushed herself onto her knees straddling Brooke's waist, as she relaxed into the position her straightened her back smiling as she noticed that Brooke's eyes were examining every inch of her body and had fixated on her breasts she slowly moved her chest closer to Brooke's face which caused as she got closer and closer to Brooke's face the smile on her face got wider and wider, when Brooke realised what Mel was doing Brooke broke her gaze on Mel's breasts and looked at her questioningly when did nothing but softly bite her bottom lip Brooke smiled broadly up at her and quickly captured Mel's lips with her own wrapping her arms around Mel resting them on Mel's lower back. As she pulled out of the kiss Brooke began kissing down Mel's cheek until she reached her ear she softly nibbled on Mel's ear the sensation cause Mel to straighten her back even more and release a small moan, as she stopped nibbling on Mel's ear she moved down Mel's neck trailing soft kisses down Mel's neck until she reached the beginning of Mel's breasts she softly kissed her way down the space between Mel's breasts until she reached Mel's hips she moved her hands around so they were resting on Mel's hips as she went to kiss further down she took a deep breath in and pulled back sitting herself up straight again keeping her hands on Mel's hips.

As Brooke sat back up Mel looked at her worried and couldn't help thinking that there was something wrong, instead of saying something she pulled Brooke closer to her pulling her into a hug her breasts pushed tightly against Brooke's chest she wrapped her arms fully around Brooke and her mouth hovering over Brooke's shoulder and placing gentle kisses over from time to time, Brooke almost mimmicked her action and placed a soft kiss on Mel's inner shoulder taking in the smell of Mel's perfume then placing another kiss on Mel's shoulder then pulled back and laid on the back against the pillow as she did so Mel climbed off Brooke's waist and laid next to her looking up at the ceiling for a moment then she rolled onto her side as Brooke did the same their eyes meet again and instantly locked onto each others. As Brooke remained silent Mel became increasingly worried until she couldn't keep the question inside anymore and asked "Are you okay, babe?"

"I'm fine" Brooke replied slightly taken aback that Mel seemed worried about her

"Then why did you pull away from me?" Mel asked her hand softly stroking Brooke's hair

"Sorry I didn't mean to worry you, it's just"

"Just what?"

"Well you have this effect on me, you always have"

"And what effect would that be then?"

"Well everytime time I kiss you, I get this overwhelming urge to make love to you. It doesn't matter where we are or who we're with, I just want you"

"Did you just say what I think you said?" Mel replied knowing how much Brooke hated saying 'make love' "Did you just say the M & L words?"

"Yeah I did" Brooke replied blushing, She was distracted from her embaressment when Mel leaned over her and captured her lips in a searing kiss, as she instantly felt her temperature rise she again pulled out of the kiss

"Ok...explain this to me...if everytime you kiss me you want me then why do you keep pulling away from me"

"Well we need to get ready and if I don't pull away then I am gonna end up taking you on this bed for hours on end"

"And that would be a bad thing why?" Mel replied seductively looking at Brooke

"Because I am pretty sure considering its my birthday that in about ten minutes one of the kids is gonna knock on that door, either them or Joey or my mum"

"Like you just said it's your birthday so thats a reason in itself not to get ready" Continuing to look at Brooke seductively

"Babe, your not helping me looking at me like that"

"Like what?, I'm just looking at you like normal"

"You know as well as I do your not...Your trying to seduce me and normally it would work but its not just my birthday we're celebrating is it?"

"Ok Ok, I'll let you get ready..."

"Thank You"

"But on One condition"

"Ok what is it?"

"Kiss me...properly for a minute or two..." As Brooke went to argue Mel cut her off "Considering I have to wait..." She looked at the clock checking the time it was 16:13 "Around Eight hours before you can make it up to me"

Brooke looked at Mel raising her eyebrows at her comment, she then took a deep breath in thought to herself then replied "That sounds fair enough to me" Brooke closed the gap between her and Mel, repositioning herself so that she was on top of Mel with her right knee was inbetween Mel's legs their chests and pevlis' pressed against each others, Brooke then leant down capturing Mel's lips, as soon as their lips connected she felt the same thing as always the thing she had just described to Mel, the overwhelming urge to take Mel there and then, she fought the urge but the fight was only made worse when she felt Mel's nipples hardened against her breasts, she pulled out of the kiss looking Mel "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"I have no earthly idea what your talking about?" Mel replied innocently looking up at Brooke, when Brooke looked unconvinced she continued "I can't help it if you turn me on can I?" she replied closing the gap between them again.

Brooke didn't break the kiss instead she just continued to enjoy their embrace as Mel wrapped her arms around her waist and pulling Brooke downwards to her so their bodies were tightly pressed against each others, the action caused Brooke's right thigh to press hard against Mel's pussy causing Mel to gasp softly into the kiss. As the kiss continued Brooke found it harder to control her urges as she felt Mel's pussy getting wetter and wetter against her thigh, she felt the urges getting more and more powerful. She tried to think of things that would turn her off like her mum and dad having sex or even worse her grandparents having sex, but nothing seemed to work the urge just built up more and more until she couldn't take it and she had to break the kiss.

As she broke the kiss she quickly rolled off Mel and onto her back again, she felt Mel roll into her side and curl up into her burying her head in Brooke's shoulder then wrapping her arm around Brooke's waist pressing her chest against Brooke's side and then again wrapping her left leg around Brooke's left leg. She looked down at Mel who was smiling up at her softly biting on her lower lip as she looked at Mel, she felt the urge inside her slowly simmering down as she looked into Mel's eyes all the love between them flowing through their eyes and into the others.

"So was that kiss enough to keep you going?" Brooke asked grinning down at Mel

"I think it might just be enough" Mel paused and then continued "As long as I get the occasional peck from the birthday girl of course"

"Would I deny you your right as my wife to kiss me on my birthday?" Brooke smirked already knowing Mel's response

"Yes you would, remember last year you wouldn't let me even kiss you on the cheek, because you wanted to make me suffer for making you a little bit late for your party"

"Mel we were two and a half hours late"

"Like I said a little late, but from what I remember you weren't fighting me off that night were you"

"I never fight you off, you know that"

"Exactly so that wasn't all my fault, and if it happens tonight then there will be trouble for you Mrs Morales" Mel said returning Brooke's smirk with a flirtatious smile

"Well Mrs Carter I will have to see that I stick to my word then won't I" Brooke laughed softly when Mel nodded in a 'damn straight' kinda manner she then leaned down and captured Mel's in a soft kiss for a few seconds then releasing them "That's to keep you going for a bit" She replied smirking then sitting up and looking around the room trying to kind her underwear, when she couldn't see it she pulled the duvet off her and stood up walking into the bathroom, Mel sat up slightly leaning on her right forearm looking at the bathroom doorway ,when she heard the shower turn on she laid back down letting out a loud frustrated sigh.

Mel laid in the bed for about ten minutes before the thought Brooke showering naked in the bathroom was too much for her mind to take, she stood up where she had been laying on the bed and walked across it then carefully stepped down of the bed and onto the floor, slowly walking towards the bathroom, she stopped at the door when she heard Brooke softly singing Rascal Flatts-Sunday Afternoon, she stood at the door quietly a smile crossing her face as she looked on watching as Brooke sang out loud and carefully danced in the shower with her eyes closed while at the same time holding her right wrist up in the air trying not to get water in the tattoo that she had just got done . She slowly moved closer to the shower cubical the smile on her face growing more and more with every step as more of Brooke's body became visible through the glass, she could see all of Brooke's body her eyes fixed on to Brooke's abdomin as she continued to move forward Brooke turned around her eyes shut still firmly shut as she continued to sing and dance, as she turn Mel's eyes quickly refocused to Brooke's body, her eyes became almost glued to Brooke's back, there wasn't an inch of fat on her, her whole body was toned every single muscle toned to perfection in Mel's eyes.

As her eyes stayed glued to Brooke's back scanning the whole of Brooke's back her bum and her hegs up and down as she did so she noticed the scar on Brooke's lower back it was over the rear of Brooke's pelvis bone on the left hand side, the scar was partly covered up by a tattoo that ran over it and read 'Taylor' the scar was only a small one it was about two or three inches in length and was less than half a inch in width and ran through the tattoo just between the Y and L but Mel knew that it was a scar that was a constant reminder of the past for Brooke. As she reached the door of the cubicle she refocused her eyes, she slowly opened the cubicle door and was meet with Brooke's naked body now facing her square on as Brooke was looking at her with raised eyebrows, as Mel stepped into the shower cubicle she closed the door behind her and looking up at Brooke merely said "I thought you might need some help washing you know with your wrist and all" Before Brooke could reply to Mel's comment Mel captured her lips in a soft and loving kiss, her arms instantly wrapping around Brooke's neck as Brooke's arms wrapped around her waist, after about thirty seconds Mel pulled softly out of the kiss resting her forehead against Brooke's and took a deep breath in.

"Mmmm, well that is a great offer but I'm done now" Brooke replied kissing Mel on the cheek then removing herself carefully from their embrace, sliding the shower door open then stepping out and wrapping a towel around herself "But maybe later when I'm making it upto, I could make it upto you in the shower as well...you know kill two birds with one stone" She seductively suggested to Mel giving her a quick peck on the lips then turning around and heading back into their room

"Your a rotten tease, Mrs Morales" Mel shouted out as Brooke exitted the bathroom disappearing from Mel's sight

"I know Mrs Carter, but that's why you love me" As she heard Brooke's reply Mel thought to herself 'Among other things hell yeah it is' smiling to herself she turned around and began to shower her mind wondering to various places and people, but mainly so thought about her and Brooke and how Brooke was gonna make it upto her later...

Meanwhile Joey had finally choose her outfit deciding to wear her skinny dark grey denim jeans and a skin tight red t-shirt with a series of skulls and bones along the bottom of it with a pair of ankle high black boots, she was now sat in her room sitting at the desk writing down all her thoughts and emotions onto a notepad it was something that Brooke had suggested to her to do so she could get all her emotions out without having to worry about hurting anyone's feelings in the process. She had only been writing for a month but so far it had helped her massively especially when it came to expressing how she felt about Charlie although she loved having Brooke there to talk to it was difficult for her to explain things to Brooke mainly because Brooke couldn't see how she could love someone who had hurt her so much emotionally not just with the cheating but with messing her around before they got together she had tried time after time to explain to Brooke that it wasn't that simple for Charlie that she had never liked women before but Brooke was so protective of her that she just couldn't see past Charlie hurting her, this was a chance for her to put down on paper how she really felt and it was a great feeling to have finally written it all down, she would only write a page or two a day but it was so cleansing for her mind to finally release all the feelings of anger, hatred, love, fear and pain that had built up inside her over the years not only the end of her and Charlie's relationship but also losing her mum and dad, being raped by Robbo then Finally Brett turning against her because she was Gay. It hadn't been the easiest last few years for her, but for the first time in a long time she felt like a weight was lifted and she had hope of a happy future whether it was with or without a partner she knew she had her family.

As she continued to write she glanced quickly at the clock on her right hand side it was 16:39 she continued to write on the notpad completing the sentence she was writing then smiled and closing the notepad then placing it in the top draw of her desk turning the key in the draw then removing the key and placing it in her pocket. As she completed the action she stood up and walked over to her mirror, looking at herself in the mirror she wondered if she looked ok, this wasn't a major party but it was a celebration of more than just Brooke's birthday and it was also the first time she had seen some of her family in ten years. She spent about five minutes looking at herself scanning her clothing she finally turned and walked towards the door opening it up she walked out closing her door behind her and walking quickly across the hallway to Taylor's room she was about to knock on the door when she heard a wolf whistle come from down the hallway she turned to her right and saw Frankee walking from the top of the staircase towards her she slowly walked towards Frankee,

"Wow Joey, you look amazing" Frankee said smiling brightly at Joey as they both came to a stop in front of each other

"Really? I didn't know if it was ok"

"Well, its not ok...It's perfect...You look freaking hot Joey" She replied eyeing Joey up and down again noting how slim Joey really was she had never noticed on account of Joey always wearing jogging bottoms and loose t-shirts or jumpers

"You really think so" Joey asked slightly unsure whether or not Frankee was being truthful

"Honest, I can prove it too" Frankee replied smirking when Joey raised her eyebrows as if questioning how, she softly grabbed Joey's wrist and gently pulled her towards Joey's room opening the door and pulling her into the room as she closed the door behind them she captured Joey's lips in a passionate kiss, after Joey recovered from the initial shock she kissed Frankee back with an equal amount of passion, Frankee lead Joey to the bed a place she had spent the last few nights laying with Joey through the night then sneaking out in the morning when Brooke went on her run at 4:30, as they reached the bed she guided Joey down onto the bed and quickly positioned herself onto of Joey, she started to undo the button on Joey's trousers when there was a knock at the door, she and Joey quickly broke the kiss and both stared at the door. Without thinking Joey quickly shouted out to stop anyone entering the room, "Who is it?"

"It's Brooke, I was just wondering if your dressed yet?" Brooke asked feeling like an idiot talking to a door

"Yeah why what's up?" She replied looking at Frankee the worry that Brooke could walk in on her and Frankee clearly showing

"Nothing major, I was just wondering if you could come give me hand sorting things out downstairs"

"Sure just give me a second"

"Ok I'll wait here for you" Brooke replied turning away from the door and looking at Taylors door

Frankee climbed quickly off Joey and stood up looking at Joey and asking "How am I meant to get out of here without her seeing me?" Joey looked at her the worry now firmly showing on both of their faces

"You'll have to wait in here until we go downstairs then sneak out" Joey almost whispered at Frankee, as she said that she walked towards the door and placed her hand on the door handle before opening she looked at Frankee "I'll see you later tonight?" She asked unsure if Frankee thought she was worth the hiding

"Of Course, and I meant it you look smoking hot Jo" She smiled quickly kissing Joey on the lips, as she pulled back Joey opened the door and exitted the room closing the door firmly behind her.

Joey was meet on the other side of the door by Brooke who smiled at her cousin's apperance she had never seen Joey dressed like this Joey was always more of a tomboy than the two of them she never wore anything that might have revealed to much of her body "WOW, Jojo you look amazing"

"Really?" She asked no matter how many times people would say it she never really believed she was one of those girls that was capable of looking amazing

"Yeah, I don't know why you don't wear more things like that"

"Are you trying to say my trackies aren't as nice"

"Of course they are just they aren't gonna get you laid are they?" They both laughed at Brooke's statement as they headed down the hallway and down the stairs into the living room where Alexis was sitting on the sofa waiting with Lily and Seb "Hey guys, I thought you were all napping?" None of them said anything they just looked at each other until Alexis softly lifted Lily and Seb of the sofa and whispered something in their ears they then both smiled turned and ran towards Brooke shouting "HAPPY BIR-DAY" as they ran to Brooke once the reached her Brooke knelt down as she did they handed a hand made crayon and felt tip pen birthday card to looking at the card then reading the inside once she had finished she smiled widely at them then hugging them both she kissed them on the cheek and said "Thanks, Peanut, Buttercup" As she stood up she noticed that Alexis was rubbing her hands waiting to hear if she was in trouble "Did you help them do this for me?" Brooke asked releasing Seb and Lily from the hug and moving to the sofa stopping infront of Alexis, When Alexis nodded at Brooke's question Brooke kneeled down infront of her and said "Thank You it's the best birthday card ever" Alexis smiled at Brooke launching herself at Brooke hugging her tightly "Happy Birthday Brooky" She said pulling out of the hug and placing a kiss on Brooke's cheek "Thank you very much" Brooke softly replied smiling brightly at Alexis, who had again sat down on the sofa as she sat back down she picked up a magazine and began turning the pages smiling at the pictures. Seb and Lily walked themselves over to their play area and began talking to each other none of what they said was actually in the form of any real language but they looked perfectly content in what they were saying to each other. Joey and Brooke looked at each other and smiled walking into the kitchen where they came across Taylor and Maxine standing at the counters making sandwiches and placing cakes onto plates, when Taylor noticed Brooke she dropped the her knife running over to her older sister jumping into Brooke's arms

"Happy Birthday Brooke" Taylor almost shouted excitment clear in her voice as she squeezed Brooke as tightly as she could

"Thanks Tay" She replied smiling and squeezing Taylor just as tight

They hugged for a few minutes as each minute passed Brooke felt the worry in her rise even more she didn't know if Taylor was being over affectionate or if something was worrying her, she finally pulled back after they had been locked in a hug for about six or seven minutes looking at Taylor she asked her "Are you ok Tay?"

"Yeah I'm fine I just wanted to give you a big birthday hug" Taylor replied smiling widely at Brooke

"Great, so what are you two preparing then?" Brooke asked intrigued

"Nothing much just some cakes along with some red salmon, ham, tuna and cheese sandwiches, you know what aunt Chrissie is like if I don't do sandwiches" Maxine replied placing her knife on the counter then walking over towards Brooke

"Yeah as Aunt Chrissie says it's not a party without sandwiches" Brooke laughed, as Maxine walked upto her and gave a quick hug then moved back towards the counter

"Happy Birthday Sweetie" Maxine softly said as she began buttering bread and making more sandwiches

"Thanks" Brooke replied then looking at all the food on the table and all the plates that were staked on the counter along with plastic knifes folks and spoons there was also some happy birthday banners "Do you need any help with anything?, me and Joey are at your disposal"

"Um you could put up those banners in the front room and placed those plates and the plastic cutlery on the tables set up in their then push all the furniture to the side for when everyone gets here" Maxine said taking in a breath as she finished the sentence

"Ok, no problem. Come on then Jojo lets get to it" Brooke said nudging Joey with her elbow which caught Joey by suprise knocking Joey off her feet slightly when Joey looked at her unimpressed at the nudge she couldn't help but laugh,

"It's not that funny B" Joey replied sternly looking at Brooke who was still laughing at Joey's facial expression "Really how old are you two?" As Joey completed her sentence Brooke laughed even harder with that Joey began poking Brooke softly in the stomach trying to make her stop laughing, it didn't work it only made her laugh harder at Joey's attempt to stop her, as Brooke's laughter got worse Joey looked at her and sternly warned "Right that's it" With that Joey ran after Brooke who immediately ran into the front room trying to keep out of Joey's way she jumped over the empty sofa and ran back into the kitchen running round the counter behind her mum then continued round counter coming to a stop behind Taylor, who placed the knife down on the counter as soon as Brooke ran back into the room, Taylor held her hands up showing Joey she wasn't willing stopping Joey getting her hands on Brooke when Joey stopped and began walking slowly towards Brooke and Taylor, Brooke placed her hands in the air

"Ok, I give up, But can we get this all sorted and settle this later" She said giving Joey her puppy dog eyes

"Ok" Joey said slightly out of breath, as Brooke walked infront of her as she did she slapped Brooke on the back, which caused Brooke to look at her questioning as she rubbed her back the best she could "What it's a minute later" Joey explained smirking as Brooke smiled in reaction to her reply the both walked into the frontroom/living room laughing with each other

Taylor and Maxine continued to prepare the food in the kitchen, Taylor was smiling brightly after seeing the playful exchange between Joey and Brooke it had been a while since Brooke had smiled and she couldn't help but feel like it was her fault she continued to place all the food on the plates laughing to herself slightly everytime she heard Brooke and Joey's laughter coming from the frontroom,

"You should do that more" Maxine said smiling at Taylor

"I should do what more?" Taylor asked slightly confused at the out of nowhere statement

"Smile, it suits you Taylor"

"I haven't had much to smile about until yesterday"

"I know and now that it's over and you've got the all clear you can start being a normal teenager again"

"I don't think I'll ever be normal let's face it I wasn't normal before the ..."

"Don't say that word" Maxine shouted out of nowhere

"Mum, it's only a word its not gonna kill me or anyone to say it"

"I know that but still I don't like it"

"I'm not to fond of the word either but it's what I have or had, But thanks to Brooke I'm gonna be fine now"

"You don't know that for sure like the doctor said you'll have to get check ups all the time"

"I know that but being afraid to say one word isn't something I want, Mum I had cancer as much as you hate that word I hate it a million times more because I'm the one who lived through it, I'm the one that's scared about it coming back and I'm the one that wakes up every morning thankful that I'm alive" Taylor explained tears running down her cheeks as she explained her emotions to Maxine "I know that I may never have kids and I know that in a year or two it could come back but I don't want to have to be scared of saying the word because you can't handle it"

"This isn't up for discussion Taylor you DO NOT EVER use that word infront of me or I'll make you wish YOU STILL HAD IT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Mel shouted most of the words exploding out of her mouth before she could stop them

"Nice way to start finally feel some motherly emotion, same I almost had to die for you to care" Taylor shot back throwing the plates in her hand onto the table and running out the kitchen door into the garden slamming the door behind her

Brooke, Joey and Alexis came rushing into the room, Alexis holding on tightly to Brooke's right hand, the look around the kitchen seeing only Maxine and the broken plate on the counter Joey moved forward cleaning broken peices of the plate of the counter and placing the food from that plate onto a clean plate carefully. Brooke looked at her mother quizzingly wondering what she had shouted about her Joey and Alexis had all heard the raised voice but none of them had any clue what Maxine meant by her sentence. Once Joey had placed the food on the clean plate she wiped the counter and washed her hands

"Thanks Jojo" Brooke said noticing that Joey had cleaned up the plate she hadn't even noticed her cleaning she was so locked on her mother and how guilty she seemed to look

"No problem, why don't I take Lexi back in the frontroom and we can look at those magazines together" Joey suggested sensing that Brooke wanted to talk to her mother alone

"Yeah that's be great Jojo" Brooke said letting go of Lexi's hand then looking at her "Go on Lexi, you go with Jojo" When Lexi looked at Brooke uncertain she explained to her "Lexi we talked about this you have to a grown up and not scared to do things without me"

"Lexi not scared" Alexis firmly stated "Not magazines, We can do decorations"

"Ok that's fine isn't it Jojo" Brooke responded happy inside that Lexi seemed to finally be connecting with other people instead of staying with her all the time

"Yeah that's great" Joey smiled at Brooke knowing what she was feeling inside it was the same thing she herself was feeling, she smiled brighter when she felt Lexi take hold of her hand and softly pull her into the frontroom "We'll see you in a minute"

"See you in a minute" Brooke responded as Joey and Alexis disappeared into the front, refocusing her attention to her mother she closed the kitched door then turning around she firmly asked "What happened? and more important where is Taylor?"

"She stormed out of the door just a few seconds before you came in here"

"I know she stormed out the bang of the door and her not being in here kinda gave me that impression, why the hell did she storm out?"

"No reason we just disagreed on something"

"What exactly did you disagree on Maxine?"

"Mum, you call me mum or mam or mother but not Maxine"

"I'll call you whatever the hell I want Maxine, now what the hell where you agruing about?"

"I didn't want her to say a certain word and she pushed until I lost my temper"

"She's a fourteen year old girl who's only just got the all clear from c..."

"DON'T Say it"

"What? your kinding me right? you flipped at her because you can't handle hearing the word Cancer, really and you call yourself a mother, a mother wouldn't flip at her child for saying one word" Brooke shouted at her mother furious that she could act in such a way to Taylor after all she had been through, as she was about to say something else she remember some of the sentence she heard her mother shout ' I'll make you wish YOU STILL HAD IT' "Did you say you'll make her wish she had cancer again?" Brooke asked her voice filled with anger waiting to explode when Maxine lowered her head in same Brooke moved closer to her softly saying to her "Just when I think you can't get any lower you suprise me, your disgusting Maxine" With that Brooke walked towards the backdoor opening it and exitting into that garden as she slowly walked down the pathway she spotted Taylor sitting on one of the benchs looking at the sky she slowly walked over sitting next to her wrapping her right arm around Taylors shoulders "Don't take any notice of her Tay, you know what she's like it's always about what she wants" When she noticed tears running down Taylors cheeks she carefully reached over and wiped them away with her left hand, as she brought her hand back down Taylor looked at her as more tears ran down her cheeks Brooke again wiped them away this time as Brooke brought her hand down Taylor grabbed a hold of it with both hands. They both turned their bodies so the were sitting face to face with Taylor still holding Brooke's left hand and Brooke's right arm resting on the bench her right hand gently placed on Taylors left shoulder

"I just wanted today to be about you, I wanted to thank you properly for what you did?"

"Tay, you don't need to thank me for anything"

"Yeah I do I'd probably be dead now if it wasn't for you" Taylor honestly replied squeezing Brooke's hand

"You don't know that for sure Taylor"

"Yes I do they couldn't find a bone marrow match for me, then you stepped in and saved me"

"Taylor, it was luck that I was a match and if I wasn't they would have found one for you"

"Maybe, but not for months maybe years, it might have even been too late, But you saved me, I owe you and today was my way of saying thanks" Taylor replied looking down at her legs

"Taylor look at me" Taylor slowly looked up at Brooke looking her in the eyes "You are and always will be my baby sister, I love you with all my heart and I would die to protect you"

"And you could have..." Taylor went to protest but was cut off by Brooke

"Hey, nobody forced me to do the test or to go through with the bone marrow transplant, I choose to do because your my baby sister and I would rather die than watch you suffer" Brooke paused bringing her right hand of Taylors shoulder and placing it on her left cheek "You owe me absouletly nothing, I'm your Big sister that's why I'm here to look after you, ok?" When Taylor didn't reply Brooke asked again "Ok?"

"Ok" Taylor responded nodding as well, she leaned her head forward resting it on the front of Brooke's shoulders "I'm scared Brooke"

Carefully raising Taylor's head from her shoulder so she could look at her eye to eye Brooke asked "Why are you scared?"

"What if it comes back? I don't think I can fight it again" Tears beginning to spill uncontrollably down her cheeks as she looked at her older sister

"Hey it won't come back" Brooke said her eyes filled with conviction at what she was saying

"But what if it does? What if comes back and its worse? I don't think I can go through it again Brooke"

"If it does then you'll fight it you might not think you can you can but you will"

"And what if I can't Brooke, what if I can't fight anymore" Taylor responded her body began to softly shake as more tears running down her face covering over the marks of previous tears that flowed down her cheeks all the emotions she had felt the last few months finally being released through her tears

"Then I'll fight for you" Brooke replied pulling her sleeve over her hand and wiping Taylors cheeks clean with it, her heart broke seeing her little sister so defeated after the months of fighting although it was a long time coming she had stayed so strong keeping up the apperance for Alexis and the rest of the kids and the family she had only ever broke down infront of Brooke and that was in the worse stages of the treatment when Brooke had to hold her during the night to try to ease her pain along with helping her sleep through it. As she looked at Taylor trying to find the words to explain to her how she felt, when she remembered a song that had spun around in her head when Taylor was asleep in her arms on numerous occasions "Come with me" She said standing up softly pulling Taylor with her, she walked with Taylor towards the studio as they entered the studio she looked at Taylor "You sit down there" She said pointing to the chair she would usually sit in. When Taylor looked at her slightly confused she smiled "You know I'm not really good at expressing my fellings through words so I'll sing them instead" As she said that she held her hand out to Taylor who instantly took hold of it she guided Taylor through the door of the booth guiding Taylor to a stool positioned infront of the booth window she then turned around she then carefully removed her hoody handing it to Taylor who immediatley put it on placing her arms in the sleeves and wrapping the herself in it. She watched as Brooke pressed a bunch of buttons placed a set of headphones on then winked at her placing a microphone infront of herself after she had placed the how she wanted it she pressed a button on the headphones and waited for the track to begin before she did she look at Taylor and said "This is my song for you"

Rascal Flatts-I Won't let go -Brooke sings looking at Taylor throughout the performance half way through the performance (Maybe Verse 2) tears begin to run down Brooke's cheeks as she puts all her emotion into the song
