Reasons To Fall
Chapter 4
authors note : Stay tuned. Thank you my readers.
I'll use you as a warning sign.
So i don't lose sight of what i want.
I missed you more then i thought i would.
Brooke eventually managed to get herself together.
Taking a long sip of water. Calming her breathing.
"I've taken up enough of you're time. I should go." Brooke insisted.
"I have no modeling shoots for the next few days."
"So I'm here to talk or hang out whatever." Rachel replied.
Brooke smiled. Hugging her. "I imagine any time before you take off will be better spent with Mouth."
"You care about him alot more then you let on." She replied.
"You're my friend Brooke. You need me. I'm there. No questions asked." Rachel insisted.
"I appreciate you and i'll keep that in mind. Thank you." Brooke said. Hugging her goodbye. Before leaving.

Lucas looked around at his shell of a childhome home.
The plan to build a life here with the love of his life/soulmate
Was now up in the air. The relationship was met with effort.
But the two could never fit the way people right for each other should.
Lucas removed his wedding ring.
...
Brooke went back to the house her and Julian shared.
Leaving her engagement behind. She went into the bedroom
And packed a suitcase.
She wanted to love him. She longed to be the daughter her parents needed but none of it felt possible.
Brooke left the house and parked once she got to the hotel parking lot.
"I wish this could be done in person. But i know you're busy and I can't wait for you to come back."
"This relationship and engagement is over. I tried Julian."
"To be who you wanted and needed. To become the verison of myself that fits into you're world but It's too much to keep doing."
"I'm sorry." Brooke said. Her voice breaking as she ended the voicemail.
...
Brooke checked in to the hotel. Got the keys to her suite and started to unpack. She showered. Changed.
Wearing now a black clothes over bros t shirt and grey leggings.
Her face bare of make up. Her hands going to her stomach.
She had another life growing inside of her.
The reality and truth of that was still hard to process.
But the positive pregnancy test made it a fact.
She knew Rachel wouldn't say anything.
At some point she would tell Haley.
The night between her and Lucas came flashing into her memory.
As she laid down and closed her eyes.
Lucas had her pinned against the wall. Kissing her all over.
Brooke tore off his shirt. Pulling him closer to her.
He bite down on her neck. Everywhere he could reach.
Her moans filled his ears. She felt him pick her up.
She removed his pants. Lucas kicked his way out of the fabric.
Laying them onto the bed. She clawed into his head.
As he captured her body in touches and kisses.
She cried out for him. Once he had taken her as his.
Plunging hard and fast. Then slow and gentle.
She dug into his back. Clawing him. Wanting to leave her mark on him.
The two had lost track of so much that night.
But eventually it ended. Instead of passion connection and bliss.
They were met with reality. Lucas was married. Brooke engaged.
They had let themselves get caught up in what was long ago.
Brooke felt regret and remorse when the memory finally ended.
The knocking at her hotel suite door. Drew her into reality at last.
