Chapter 24

Author's note :Sensitive scenes ahead.

Before Lucas could even get inside and make sure the boys were settled in.

A police car parked nearby and two officers started walking towards the Davis home.

(Step away from the children Mr. Scott. Lift you're hands and follow our instructio instruction.) One of the officers said.

Brooke stared wide eyed.

Lucas looked to the officers. (This has to be some kind of mistake.) Lucas replied.

(Lucas and his boys are staying with me. What is going here?) Brooke asked.

(Miss Davis this isn't you're business. I suggest you stay out of it.) The officer said. As the other officer.

Hand cuffed Lucas and read him his rights.

(I'm under arrest for kidnapping! These are my children.) Lucas proclaimed

(According to Miss Sawyer they are not and she wants you charged.) The main officer said.

(Daddy!) (stop it!) Parker exclaimed. Tears falling from his eyes.

(Let go of our daddy right now!) Sawyer exclaimed. The emotion in his voice thick.

(He's not you're father. We are taking the both of you back home to you're mom.) The other officer announced.

(This is wrong. Lucas is just trying to keep his kids safe. Peyton was going to run off with them. Make sure he never saw them again.)

(There is more going on here then either of you realize. Please can we talk about this. The four of us.) Brooke pleaded.

(There is nothing to discuss. Miss Davis.) The main officer said.

As Lucas was lead into the police car. With handcuffs.

(Boys it's okay. I'm alright everything is going to fine. I love you.)

(We'll be together again soon.) Lucas said. Before he was put into the squad car and driven away.

The other officer drove Sawyer and Parker back to Peyton.

She was waiting outside tears falling hard. She clutched them tightly as she thanked the officers.

Once they were inside the home and the officers had driven away she glared at them.

(You tried to run away from me. To leave me!)

(What did you tell Lucas!) Peyton exclaimed.

The boys shook with fear and nervousness.

(Talk damn it!) Peyton yelled. As she slapped Parker across the face.

Grabbing him tightly as she pushed him down.

(Do you see what you make me do when you don't listen!) Peyton yelled.

Parker started to cry and shield himself.

(Momma stop it. I told him you were going to take us away. That he couldn't come with us.) Sawyer confessed.

(Go upstairs and don't come out of that room until I say you can!) Peyton instructed.

As Parker left and went upstairs.

Peyton solely focused on Sawyer.

Peyton sighed deeply and shut her eyes.

(You just couldn't leave it alone. I am you're mother!)

(I make the rules and the plans. You weren't supposed to say anything. But look at this mess you caused. You must be punished. That's it.) Peyton said.

Awhile later

Peyton turned up the volume and felt herself relax as the drugs entered her system.

Clay Evans never wanted children. He never even knew she had been pregnant.

Her involvement with him was strictly for escape. Lucas had pushed her over the edge. They had a nice life going.

Now everything was unraveling. And she didn't care for that.

Especially in this town.
