Nobody said it was easy..

Chapter 14

BROOKE'S POV:

I woke up the next morning feeling more relaxed.

Probably the fact that Skip was here made me feel a little better.

I knew that Luke could protect me, don't get me wrong, but I just need my brother here, ya know? It's a family thing I guess.

I looked up at Luke who was still sleeping like a baby. He had his arm wrapped securely around my waist still, and he had a small smile tugging at his lips.

I grinned up at him and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

He stirred in his sleep, and I carefully made my way out of his arms.

I walked over to my bag and got some clothes, then went to take a shower to relax myself some more.

I started the water up and got it to the right temperature while I peeled my clothes off.

I stepped in the shower finally and started washing my hair and body, then my face. I decided to shave too, why not?

Gosh, with all this going on, I have like no time to relax. Quite frankly, this whole situation scares the absolute shit out of me. I know I'm safe with Luke and Skip, but still.. It makes me feel quite uneasy to know that Drew is coming back for me.

The sad thing is.. Is that I always knew he was going to come back for me..

-FLASHBACK-

I was sitting in my room, crying my eyes out.

Drew had just beat me again, but really hard. This time was awful.

I had a large gash on my forehead and bruises up and down my arms and back. I looked like I had just fallen out of an airplane with no parachute.

I heard my door click open and I looked up shyly, not wanting anyone to see the state I was in.

It was Drew.

I cowered back into the corner, trying to escape him, but he kept coming closer.

"You little coward." He spat at me.

I felt a tear escape my eye just looking at him. The sick bastard.

"I'm moving in with my father. So I'll be moving to America. And I swear to god.. If you tell anyone what I did to you while I'm gone, I'll kill you." He warned me, coming closer.

I nodded, just wanting him to leave now.

He smiled sickly at me before coming towards me and picking me up by my arms.

I flinched back at his touch and turned my head.

"Now kiss me." He ordered me.

I didn't want to kiss him. Not at all. So I turned my head to the side.

"You little bitch.. Do what I say!" He yelled at me.

I wouldn't win this anyways..

I turned my head towards him and placed my lips on his, not moving, just let my lips sit there.

He roughly slammed his tongue into my mouth while I felt the hot tears burn my cheeks.

He slammed me up against the wall, roughly squeezing me in places I didn't want him to touch at all.

He finally released, and threw me back on the ground when he was done.

"Oh, I'll be back for you. Don't think I'm done with you." He said, laughing maniacally.

He turned on his foot and left.

And that was the first night I cut myself.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

The memory was vivid in my mind.

I looked down at my wrists, tracing over my scars and healing cuts.

The guy who caused this all.. Is coming back.

I felt a sob escape my throat, but I covered my hand with my mouth, not wanting to wake Luke.

I guess it didn't work.

"Babe?" I heard him call out.

I guess he followed the shower running and walked in to find me, because there he was.

"What's wrong?" He asked, slipping off his shirt.

I just shook my head, not wanting to go into detail.

He stripped down and got into the shower with me, and pulled me close to him.

I cried into his shoulder while he ran his hands through my wet hair.

"Shhh.. I'm here." He said, pulling me even closer.

I guess the memory of Drew leaving really got to me.

"It's just so much Luke.." I sobbed into his chest.

"Look, it'll be okay. I promise you." He said, pulling back to look into my eyes.

I nodded and let him pull me close again, needing to feel his arms around me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay.. So I actually hate this chapter..

Idk. I just felt like giving you guys something.

I know it's extremely short blah blah blah.

But I just wanted to put the flashback in there somewhere to explain how Brooke knew he was coming back.

But yeah, sorry for this crap chapter!
