Our Middle
Chapter 18
Author's note :Brooke had used her body and her looks all her life to get what she wanted. Especially when it came to guys. So truthfully it doesn't surprise me that she would resort to that especially with the current situation she's in. This is temporary for Brooke.
I don't like you guys to see me that way. Vulnerable.
Brooke left her the bar that night ready to forget it all with a hot shower and anything else fun she could think of.
She swallowed hard at the sight of Lucas.
She found herself wanting to button up even though she was already dressed.
(I'm working at the auto body shop. I just couldn't work with my mom. After what happened.)
(Do you work here?) Lucas asked.
(I do. I'm really tired Lucas.) Brooke replied.
(What do you do?) Lucas asked.
(It doesn't look like you're wearing a uniform.) Lucas added.
(I don't want to talk about it.) Brooke insisted.
(If you need some help just ask me. I managed to talk to mom into letting me stay for awhile.)
(3 months so I'm saving up as much as I can.) Lucas explained.
Brooke broke into tears. She turned from him.
Lucas felt his heart sink.
(Brooke look at me. What's wrong?) Lucas questioned.
(What I'm doing here. I don't want to get into it. I don't want to be a burden or obligation there is so much going on already.) Brooke replied.
(You wouldn't be either of those to me. I love you. I care about you so much.)
(You should know that. But I understand why you wouldn't.) Lucas replied.
(Let me drive you home. You're car can be picked up tomorrow.) Lucas insisted.
