One womans heart break anothers pot of gold

CHAPTER FORTYFIVE

CHAPTER FORTYFIVE:

Brooke was pacing up and down the hall, checking her watch for the time and constently going into the loungeroom and peeking out the window, knowing too well that Jake was on his way to try and prove his innocence, by telling her he did not spend the night with Monica.

Her phone kept ringing not as often as earlier in the morning, but Monica and Jake were not giving up and Brooke was determined not to answer the phone unless it was Rick.

Rick.....How was he going to take the news that Brooke was going to reveal to him, would he believe her or would he fall into the trap of believing Monica and Jake? That was a question that kept going through Brooke's mind.

Crystal entered the loungeroom where Brooke was standing looking out the window, "Are you nervous?" as she handed Brooke a cup of coffee.

"A little, I'm so upset and angry with myself for allowing this bullshit to go on for as long as it has" Brooke took a sip of her coffee, "MM.., that's just what I needed, thank you."

They both sat down and talked a little, "Can you believe Jake actually thinks that I am going to believe another lie from him?".

"He's nothing but a compulsive liar" Crystal added

Just as Brooke was about to take the last sip of her coffee she heard a car pull up outside. "I think it's him", she jumped up out of her seat and ran to the window and pulled the curtain over to the side a little just to give her enough vision to see Jake getting out of his car.

"Yep! it's him" Brooke headed for the front door.

Crysatl followed behind Brooke "I'm going upstairs so I don't have to see that arsehole, call me once you're done with him"

"Okay......thank you"

Brooke open the front door before Jake had a chance to knock on the door, she stepped out onto the porch not allowing Jake to enter the house, he was not welcomed and will never be welcomed again.

"What do you want and why are you here?"

"Oh come on Brooke, you know I wasn't with Monica, I was with Jerry and I stayed at his place"

"Sorry I don't believe you, you have gone too far this time Jake......It's over........I warned you a thousand times. I even begged you that if you wanted to be with other woman or with Monica to go and do that, But don't include me or think I would want to be part of it. I don't believe in infidelity. You have hurt me so much and made a fool of me" they both just stood there glaring at each other.

"I hate your guts Jake! for what you've done to me, I hope you rot in hell !....You have not only hurt me but you have hurt my children, they trusted you and you have abused it, with no guilt at all..I want you to leave now and never contact me or come near me again".

"Are you still going to tell Rick?"

"You bet I am, it's too late I have left a message on his answering machine, I'm just now waiting for him to return my call" Brooke said with a grin on her face.

"Please don't do that, you don't know him, he'll harm himself if you tell him, he is very fragile at the moment, he is not stable"

"So now your trying to tell me that he will kill himself? Commit suicide?. Like I said Jake it's too late, you should have thought about that before you decided to continue on seeing me and cheating on me, don't think for one minute that telling me this story of Rick killing himself is going to change my mind. You are a liar, and if for one second you think that once I tell him and he does harm himself, I will tell you now I will not be feeling guilty at all and I certainly will not be blaming myself I will be able to sleep at night. The only people to blame for any harm he does to himself will be you and Monica".

"Please don't tell him" Jake begged

"I don't give a shit! telling me this bogus lie is not going to change my mind, you and Monica are going to have to face up to your affair. You are only scared that if he finds out it will ruin your little plan it just might ruin things for you and Monica. Well too bad nothing you can say or do is going to stop me. How does it feel to be on the other foot? That is how much I despise you and Monica, you were willing to cheat on me and bring me into this situation, so therefore I am telling Rick. He has a right to know, you have been playing this charade for six years, now its about to crumble. Once he knows you two won't have to sneak around. You and Monica have issues and I'll be surprised if your romance will ever be peaceful and happy, as the old saying goes Jake "Once a cheater always a cheater".

"You'll be sorry, if you tell him" Jake said to Brooke pointing at her.

"Is that a threat Jake?" Brooke glared at Jake with stealy eyes.

"Take it how you want to" Jake said

"You deserve to be with Monica, you are both sneaky and untrusting people. I may be heart broken, but I've learnt a valuable lesson to always trust my heart and my gut instincts, because it is a warning that something is not right. FUCK YOU!! YOU SON OF A BITCH! KARMA IS ABOUT TO COME YOUR WAY!!

Now if you don't mind, I want you to leave, just looking at you is making me sick!" Brooke gave Jake an almighty shove in the chest and then turned around and went back inside slamming the door behind her.

Crystal heard the door slam and came running down the stairs and up the hall to Brooke "Are you okay?"

"You know for once in a very long time I feel good! It's like a hugh weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully I can get on with my life and never see Jake Jackson again"

Brooke went off to her room to gather some fresh clean clothes and went off to the bathroom to have a long hot bath, she was trembling a little as she was feelilng quite cold from standing outside for so long in the cold winters air. As she relaxed in the bath her mind was ticking over as to how she was going to approach the situation with Rick, the last thing she wants is for him to harm himself, but she knew it was just a ploy. She was glad to know that soon this mess would soon be over with once and for all.

She only had one more thing to do and that is to tell Rick.
