Tried Our Best
Chapter 26
Love means giving chances. Even when there are no more chances to give.
"I wanted us to get back together so badly. It's just gotten so messy and confusing. I don't know what to do regarding my feelings for him." Brooke confessed to Peyton.
As the women shared dinner together. Which is something they did whenever they had the chance.
"Are you still in love with him or has that changed especially given what he's revealed to you.?" Peyton asked.
"I don't know anymore. I care so deeply about him."
"Just when i thought we were headed towards a new future together. All the Alex drama started and this situation with our daughter was brought back and my heart belongs to my kids."
"Caring and loving Lucas can't come at the expense of the relationship with my we will have to rebuild aspects of our relationship too."
"Sadie needs me now. She needs my love and support. Understanding."
"What i want. Needs to be put to the side. That's it." Brooke explained.
...
"Why have come in Mr. Scott?" The older man asked.
Lucas looked up from the older man with the notepad and pen.
"Call me Lucas. I was on the way to reuniting with my ex wife."
"Which had so much stacked against it. Yet she was willing to give me another chance."
"But i destroyed that. Wanting to save someone who was using me."
"On top of that. I have this fractured relationship with my only daughter. I kept a secret involving her and just told my ex wife about it."
"Why do i sabatage the relationships with the people in my life who matter the most.? And feel the need to save people no matter what it costs me.?" Lucas questioned. Looking to the therapist.
"The shooting. Keith Scott. He went in to save you and ended up getting killed by you're father."
"You carry around guilt and blame. You hate that you survived and he didn't." The older man replied.
