Stay
Chapter 29
I really wanted it to last.
You want to know a secret? I never thought it would.
I loved you so much that i lost myself.
Later on that day
The Scott Home
"Can i go to a sleepover.?" Ethan asked. Once he entered the home.
"Sure. But let me see what you're mom thinks first." Lucas replied.
"Can i change my hair.?" Ethan asked.
"What do you want to do to it.?" Lucas asked.
"Change the color." Ethan announced.
"Why.?" Lucas asked.
"Because my hair doesn't look like yours or momma's. And i want that to change." Ethan replied.
Lucas was surprised at this answer. The honesty. But then again.
That was Ethan he was going to tell you what he felt and what he thought.
"I'm going to go check in with aunt uncle Skills. and aunt Bevin." Lucas announced.
Ethan grabbed his backpack and headed into the kitchen. To grab a snack before starting his homework.
...
Lucas made his way upstairs. And instead of Skills and Bevin he found Brooke in the nursery.
"I thanked them for watching the twins and sent them home."
"I was just on my way out. They are fed changed had baths."
"We should talk alone." Brooke proclaimed.
"What about.?" Lucas asked.
Once they got into their bedroom. "
"I'm listening Brooke. You have my full attention." Lucas said.
"I want to get surgery done. It's cosmetic. No big deal."
"Everyone get's something done now and then outside of Tree Hill."
"I need this for me." Brooke explained.
"You don't need this Brooke. You want feel like you won't be complete without it."
"And i don't understand why. You're perfect. I couldn't be more in love with you." Lucas replied.
"You don't understand Lucas. I live in the fashion world world. Where you're looks are all anyone cares about. Especially with clothes. Representing the brand. The social media."
"My looks are what people know me for."
"I know how you see me. But how much of that is real? And not fiction to make me feel better.?"
"We've never been far apart like this. That isn't all our relationship is. But it's clear how disconnected we've become."
"You spend more time at the office then at home." Brooke stated matter of fact.
"You've been pushing me away for months. I miss my wife."
"I feel you slipping away from me and i don't know what to do." Lucas confessed.
"Let me do this and then we can figure out the rest afterwards." Brooke replied.
"No. The last time you were on a surgery table you almost died."
"It's only been 8 months Brooke. I don't feel comfortable with this." Lucas stated matter of fact.
"It isn't up to you. I can start the process. Pay for it."
"I want you to support me but i don't need it." Brooke proclaimed.
"This whole fixation of you're looks started long before we met."
"You gave you're diary to read remember."
"Ted said you looked thick in some outfit. Victoria made you run around the walking trails for hours. During the week."
"Ever since then you use you're looks for validation instead of seeing that you are so much more then that."
"Especially to me and our kids." Lucas proclaimed.
"Ted and Victoria are dead to me! Stop trying to make me feel bad or guilty." Brooke replied
