Curtain Call

Chapter 22

Days Later

(We understand you're concern and fear Miss Davis. But we assure you.)

(We have a zero tolerance for bullying.)

(We haven't heard or seen anything you're son has claimed happened.)

(We understand he's very sensitive and maybe he is in need of more of you as a mother.) The principal replied.

Brooke glared at the older woman. (Excuse me. My son is my whole world.)

(Just because you aren't hearing or seeing it. Does not mean my son is lying or vying for attention. I will be keeping a close eye on this. If it continues.)

(Something will be done about this.) Brooke proclaimed. Before leaving the office.

Brooke soon left the school. And drove to her store.

She was so glad to see Haley and Rachel had gotten her texts to meet up.

It was only then did she unload on what had taken place at the school and her latest encounter with Lucas.

They both listened before Brooke awaited their responses.

(You and Lucas agreed to this arrangement long ago.)

(Maybe Lucas isn't all that wrong. He's shown up and remains present in Eugene 's life. You don't have to raise him on you're own.)

(All Lucas has ever to be a family.) Haley proclaimed.

(Is that why he's jumping from woman to woman?) Brooke asked.

(You've been holding on to who he used to be. A fantasy.)

(You keep him at arms length because you don't really love him. Peyton does. She always has.) Haley proclaimed.

(He cheated on me twice with her I'm well aware of the history.) Brooke proclaimed.
