After Everything
Chapter 23
Later on that day
The front door opened. Our eyes locked on each other. And instead of warmth and understanding. I saw his hardened gaze.
(If it isn't my baby daddy.) I said.
(I hate you. There is no coming back from this.)
(The only reason I'm here is because I need information only you would know.)
(Where is he Peyton? I need all the information you know.) Lucas insisted.
I let him inside. He lingered in my entryway.
(How does it feel Luke? Hurt. Blindsided.) I pushed.
(Just be honest with me Damn it!)
(You owe me that! After everything you've done!) Lucas exclaimed.
The smile on her face faded.
(Why Brooke? Why her. We were so in love Lucas.)
(I wanted to give you a family more than anything.)
(Brooke can't give you that!)
(Or did she not tell you she can't have babies!)
(I've never lied to you about my feelings.) Peyton insisted.
(I don't care about any of this. I couldn't care less about you! You mean nothing to me!) Lucas exclaimed.
(You promised you would never cut me out of you're life! She turned you against me!)
(We were happy Lucas. Me. You. Sawyer!) Peyton exclaimed.
(Enough of this! Just tell me what I need to know!) Lucas proclaimed.
Peyton locked in on him. Taking a breath.
(I lied. Our son is alive and well. Living in LA. With my father.)
(His name is Levi. Levi Sawyer. )
(You don't get to have him. He's mine. He's all I have of you.)
(If I can't have you. You can't have him. And that is how we end.) Peyton proclaimed.
