CHAPTER THIRTY NINE:
The week flew by without any hassels, it was saturday night Jake had arrived at Brooke's, he was on the phone when she answered the door, he put his index finger to his lips signalling for her to remain silent. Brooke could hear a woman's voice on the other end of the cellphone.
"I don't want to have anything to do with you Monica, just leave me alone" and then he hung the phone up.
"What did she want?" Brooke asked
"She keeps ringing me and asking if I'm seeing you again"
"What did you tell her?" Brooke asked
"I told her no, I don't want to upset her any more than she is, so if she happens to call you just tell her you haven't seen me", requested Jake
"Okay, if it makes things easier for you!"
The next minute Brooke's cellphone started to ring, she raced over to the kitchen bench and picked up her phone and answered it.
"Hello, Brooke speaking"
"Hi Brooke it's Monica, how are you?"
"I'm fine, how are you going?"
"Good, is Jake there with you?" Monica asked
Brooke sighed "No Monica he isn't, I told you the last time I spoke to you I was having nothing to do with him, so if you don't mind I would rather you not call me anymore, I am not interested in you or him" and with that Brooke hung up the phone.
"I knew she would call you" Jake said "I'm going to move my car and park it in the other street, just in case Monica decides to drive by looking to see if my car is here"
"Good idea"
They had a lovely evening home alone together, they sat in front of the open fire listening to the fire crackling as it burnt through the firewood with a bottle of red just chilling and listening to some soft music.
They decided to go to bed around 10.30pm, they were both sound asleep when all of a sudden there was a loud knock at Brooke's front door. Brooke woke straight away she looked at the time on the clock radio beside her bed and it was midnight.
"Who the hell could that be" Brooke thought to herself. She looked over at Jake and he was still sound asleep, she didn't want to disturb him, so she got up out of bed and grabbed for her robe and headed to the front door. She looked through the door viewer and standing on the porch was Monica. Brooke opened the door and in came Monica not even waiting for an invitation "Where is he? I know he's here" yelled Monica.
"He's in my room, in bed asleep" Brooke replied
Monica pushed past Brooke and head down the hall to Brooke's bedroom, she flicked on the light switch and ran over to where Jake was sleeping and started punching into him and stabbing him with her car key. Jake woke up in a fright he held his arms and hands up in front of him to protect his face from getting stabbed and punched by Monica. Brooke just stood in the doorway watching. Brooke thought to herself he deserves it so she let them argue it out. The next minute Jake jumped up
out of bed and shoved Monica against the wall to give him some time to get his jeans on, Monica continued hitting him. He grabbed the keys out of her hands and then grabbed hold of both of her wrists, to stop her from hitting him, so she started to kick him.
"You told me you were not seeing Brooke any more"
They had made there way back down the hallway towards the front door.
"I didn't want to upset you Monica" Jake explained
Brooke piped up and yelled at Monica "You really have no right comming here at this hour of night and fighting in my house".
"Where's Brent" Jake asked Monica
"He's at home asleep"
"At home by himself"
"Yes, he'll be okay"
"You better get yourself back home, how can you leave your son at home by himself, what if he was to wake up looking for you?" Jake said
"Monica it is none of your business who Jake see's, you two are no longer together, he is with me now. I don't want you comming here or ringing me anymore, do you understand that?" Brooke said to Monica in a stern way "And if you don't leave now I am going to call Rick and tell him you have left Brent at home on his own" Brooke was only bluffing she was not going to cause any problems with Rick and Monica.
"You told me you were not seeing him, why did you lie to me" Monica asked Brooke
"The reason I lied was Jake asked me to, now please I want you to leave".
Brooke looked at Jake and he had blood and scratches on his face even down his arm and back.
"I just want to know one thing, do you love me or her?" Monica asked Jake
Jakes reply was "I love you both in different ways, but you need to leave now!"
Monica started to attack Jake again kicking and punching him and screaming at him "You're a lier and a user, I hate you!"
So Jake then turned around and ran out towards the kitchen back door, he grabbed his keys and wallet from the kitchen bench and ran out the backdoor slamming it behind him. He jumped the back fence and hid in the park.
Monica yelled at Brooke "I'm leaving, he hasn't seen the last of me yet!" and then Monica left through the front door. Brooke watched as she saw Monica get back into her car and drove off. Brooke waited a few minutes and then went back inside locking the front door behind her she then went and got her cellphone, she tried calling Jake but he didn't answer. She walked back into her bedroom and looked at the sheets where Jake had been laying and noticed there was blood all over the pillow and the sheets, so she decided to change the sheets, she tried calling Jake again but still no answer. Brooke turned out the light and got back into bed and put the bedside lamp on, she laid in bed waiting for Jake and wondering where had gone, an hour had gone by and Brooke dozed off.
