Our Middle
Chapter 43
Author's note :Thank you for the support. Who's side are you on?
When Brooke reconnected with Brooke. She told him to come right over.
Her luggage from their weekend away was by the front door untouched.
He went over to her. She was seated in the living room. Her eyes glued to her laptop.
(You aren't at the store. You haven't unpacked.)
(Brooke from what I've heard from everyone who knows about it. Rachel left on her own.)
(We have no reason to be worried or concerned.) Lucas said. Wanting to reassure her.
Brooke stopped typing and put her laptop to the side.
She looked up at him. (Something about this is wrong Lucas. I know it. I can feel it.)
(She's my friend. I'm not going to abandon her now.) Brooke replied.
(I understand that you want to get to the bottom of this but what if she was just unhappy and needed a fresh start somewhere else?) Lucas questioned.
(Then why ask to watch the kids?) Brooke asked.
(She could of snuck out of town and none of us would of known.) Brooke added in.
(Rachel ended up in you're apartment. That you hadn't used in years.)
(She almost died that day. But you talked into staying at you're place. Giving her job.)
(You have always been by her side offering love and support.)
(Just for her to have left back then and from the looks of it she's back to blaming the world for who unfair and wrong her life is.) Lucas proclaimed.
(Her leaving back then was because of Victoria. She practically gave us the cabin.)
(I can't think about much else until I have a better understanding of what's going on.)
(We have all the time in the world to plan this wedding.) Brooke explained.
(You're letting her get in the way of the most important time in our life.)
(When you know she wouldn't do the same for you.)
(Some people don't want to be saved. Maybe she's one of them. I don't want her to take you down with her. This is our town now.) Lucas explained.
(It'll still be our time when I find her.) Brooke replied.
(Yes. This is Brooke Davis. I would like to put report a person missing.)
(Her name is Rachel Gatina.) Brooke said. As she left the room to speak to the police officer.
Lucas let out a frustrated sigh and left.
...
In a matter of hours Rachel being missing. Contact information and her picture. Was on the local news channels.
...
Days Later
(Before the two of woke up and didn't find aunt Rachel.)
(Were you having fun with her?) Brooke asked.
(Yeah we love aunt Rachel.) Larry replied.
(She always has fun stuff for us to do and we stay up late.) Amy said.
(Did anyone come by that you know or don't know?) Brooke asked.
As she refreshed the milk and cookies they were eating while talking.
...
Mouth quietly entered Rachel 's home with the key she had given him months ago.
He needed answers. Brooke was right given the circumstances and Rachel 's history.
They didn't care to look for her.
...
(It's heartbreaking that young woman just vanishing like that.)
(But some people are just lost souls. Searching.) Karen said.
(Am I wrong for wanting to focus on my relationship instead of this?) Lucas asked.
(Not at all my boy.) Karen replied.
