Fortress
Chapter 10
authors note : Rachel didn't kidnap Len. Lennon used the spare key all the kids know about to stay in her house. And he doesn't feel like he's wanted or needed at home. Rachel's motives are supposed to be a mystery. And Lucas has nothing to make it seem like he isn't faithful to Brooke. Brucas kids hating their mom? For those who support i thank you.
Lost and insecure
You found me.
In the end, everyone ends up alone.
Rachel looked to Lennon. And knew she couldn't send him back yet.
She had known the Brucas children all their lives and loved them as if they were her own.
"Sure. You can stay here for a few days. I've got you Len." Rachel replied.
"Thank you." Lennon said. Hugging her as he went into the spare room upstairs.
Rachel grabbed her cellphone and went into the backyard.
She went into her speed dial and called Lucas.
He picked up on the first ring.
"Lennon is here. I came home and he was in the living room." Rachel explained.
She heard the instant relief in Lucas's voice.
"He isn't ready to go home yet and i told him he could stay. I have no work lined up for some time so i'll be able to be here with him."
"I just need some clothes and whatever else he needs." Rachel added in.
...
Lucas took a deep breath and looked to Brooke. Who had been silently crying beside him.
"Rachel just called me." "Lennon was there all along." Lucas announced.
Brooke shot up. "I need my keys. I'm going to bring him home." She replied.
"Brooke he doesn't want to be here right now. Rachel volunteered to let him stay for as long as he needs." Lucas explained.
Brooke stared at him wide eyed.
"He belongs here with his family. He's a little boy he doesn't realize that." Brooke added in.
"I think we should give him some space. I'll pack a suitcase and drive it over." Lucas replied.
"We're all going." Brooke replied.
Soon. Lucas. Brooke and Beautrice all piled into the dark purple minivan of Brooke's.
Brooke watched as Luca left the car with the suitcase.
"Thank you for keeping him safe." Lucas said. Hugging her.
"Of course. I'm trying to help out. There is alot of tension at home. He's an emotional kid. But he knows you and Brooke love him." Rachel replied. As she brought the suitcase inside and closed the door.
