One womans heart break anothers pot of gold

CHAPTER FOURTY

CHAPTER FOURTY:

Brooke was woken with a tap on her bedroom window at 3.00am. She peeped through the curtains and saw Jake's car parked in the driveway. She got out of bed and answered the door.

"What happened? Where have you been?" Brooke asked Jake.

Jake entered the house "It's a long story....everything is okay now, but I'm really tired and would rather go to bed and we'll talk about it in the morning".

So they went to bed, Brooke was anxious to find out what had happened, but she too was tired and wanted to get some sleep. A night that started off romantic and quiet had ended up in kaos, it was also a very long night.

That morning they woke and made love they had slept in longer than they thought, it was 9.30am, Brooke slipped on her robe and went into the kitchen to make a pot of tea. Jake joined Brooke in the kitchen, she walked up to Jake and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.

"So what happened when you left here last night?"

"I decided to go to my house just to check on the dog and the house, as I know Monica would have gone there first before she came here. You wouldn't believe what the bitch had done!"

"What did she do?" Brooke asked

"She smashed the front door window panel in, so I had to boarder that up, and while I was doing that she turned up and attacked me again! then she came into the house and started trashing the place"

"Oh my god, what's wrong with her?"

"She kicked a hole through the loungeroom wall and threw this jar full of coins which I have sitting on the bench in the kitchen, she picked it up and threw it down th hallway which some of the coins smashed the glass on the back sliding door, she went fuckin crazy!"

"How did you get her to stop"

"Well someone in the street must have called the police as they turned up, they handcuffed her and took her to the police station, because she kept yelling and swearing, making a public nusance of herself"

"Then what happened? What about her son Brent?"

"I had to call her sister and she was going to the police station while her fiance went to Monica's house to be with Brent".

"Does Rick know anything about this?"

"No thank god, he would have gone off his head! That's why it took me so long to get back here"

"Do you want me to come with you to your place and help you clean up the mess?" Brooke asked Jake

"If you want to, that would be great!"

So they sat and drank their tea, Brooke then went and got ready to go to Jakes house and help him clean up the mess.

When they pulled up out the front of Jake's place it looked like a war zone, glass was all over the front porch, the front door had chunks of wood taken out of it from where Monica had tried to kick the door in. When they entered the place Brooke couldn't believe her eyes, what a mess not dirty but a destructive mess. There was stuff thrown all over the place, Monica certainly was pissed off.

Brooke turned and said to Jake "I'm sorry but no matter how angry or how much I hated you , there is no way in the world would I do this, I have never been one to destroy or damage someone's property".

Jake just looked at brooke and then said "I can't believe she did this either".

It took them several hours to get the house back in order, after it was all cleaned up they went and got something to eat and then Jake dropped Brooke home.

"I'll talk to you later, thanks again for helping me today, I really appreciate it and sorry for the drama's that went on last night"

"That's okay it wasn't your fault, you didn't know she was going to turn up and carry on like that".

"I'll probably stay home tonight, but like I said I'll give you a call" he lent over and gave her a kiss.

Brooke got out of the car and headed inside. Lauren and Dillon were due back that afternoon and she needed to go and do some grocery shopping and she also wanted to tell Caroline and Crystal all about the previous nights events.

Later that evening Jake phoned Brooke they chatted for a bit "So I take it your staying home tonight?"

"Yeah, I don't want to take any chances of having no one here, I would rather spend the night with you, but......"

"I understand, Have you heard from Monica?"

"No she hasn't tried to contact me and that's how I like it" replied Jake

"I love you "

"I love you too"

"Good night sweety"

"Good night"

They hung up from each other and Brooke started to get dinner ready for her and the kids.
