Halves Of The Same Whole

Chapter 63

And I'll use you as a focal point. Of how much to give and how much to take

I'll use you as a warning sign. And I found love

Right in front of me.

authors note : The story isnt over? I posted the last chapter and wanted to see how invested readers were with everything so i held off on updating. Updates will continue. Peyton cannot have biological children. Salem was adopted by her when she married Julian.

Me just staying in this empty house. Wasn't going to happen.

That would solve nothing. Which is why i packed a suitcase of my own. Grabbed my car keys and left.

My intentions weren't to cause any of this but playing these games with Peyton was asking for trouble I knew the risk.

But I had too much on the line to let her go after us again.

I started to make my way towards the airport.

I eventually had to stop. Because i wasn't moving. Cars were backed up on the road. And soon i saw emergency and police. Caution tape.

People were crowding around. No one was going anywhere.

I got out of my car and joined the others. Who were crowding. Talking amongst themselves.

There had been an accident i heard. A car ran the red light.

It crashed into a minivan. I felt my stomach drop.

My heart sinking. As i pushed through the crowd.

I saw the damaged minivan. I ran towards it.

Begging to be let through. It was Brooke's car.

Peyton had followed them. And crashed right into them.

When I explained it was my wife. My boys.

I was let through. Brooke's minivan was damaged.

People already on the road said. It was quick.

The police said there was barely time to react.

But Brooke did. Positioning herself to shield the boys.

That's why when I got into the ambulance. Kyle and Keith. Were wrapped in a large blanket. By one of the emergency workers.

Un harmed. Oblivious to any of this.

I grabbed them tightly. Tears streaming down my face.

My legs weak. As I saw Brooke laying there.

They were doing all they could for her and the baby.

My body shaking.

"Da Da." The boys exclaimed. Snuggling into me.

I hugged and kissed them.

When Peyton was arrested. And put into the squad car.

She smiling and laughing. I heard as i went into the hospital with Brooke and boys.

I couldn't go with her. I couldn't leave the boys.

I watched helplessly as Brooke was put on a gurney and wheeled away.

I felt sick angry lost. This wasn't how our story ended it couldn't be.

...

The Police station

The officers realized now their mistake in not taking Lucas's concerns seriously.

Peyton was taken into an interrogation room in cuffs.

Her smile bright. Her laughter filled the room.

"You are under arrest for the attempted murder of Brooke Scott and her unborn child." The officer proclaimed.

"Its what he deserves." Peyton replied.
