Can love save a life? (Mc romance)

04 - The Nightmare

Brooke found it extremely hard to take in all the information she had been given in such a short amount of time. But for some reason even though she was still processing the information she felt like she was at home and this was where she belonged.

She had finally met her real parents, and had so many questions but she feared if she asked her brain would explode from information overload.

"Do you want some food sweetie?" Her mum smiled at her. Brooke was just about to decline when her stomach growled making her mother chuckle. "Come on then darling. Let's go to the kitchen and we can chat as well"

As she was leading Brooke to the kitchen the only thing she could think was how lost she was going to get trying to navigate this house. It was the biggest house she had ever been in.

Brooke watched as her mum started getting the ingredients for Mac and cheese.

"Can I have it"-

"Extra cheesy, I know sweetheart. It was always your favourite" she smiled telling the chef exactly how she remembered her daughter liked her Mac and cheese.

As Brooke sat at the huge table in the middle of the kitchen she felt nervous. She didn't know what to say or what to do.

"You have grown into a beautiful young lady" her mum smiled at her and all Brooke could do was nod. "I know this is so much to take in but if you ever need to ask anything that's okay"

"Thank you" Brooke smiled slightly "just thing to get my head round things you know"

A comfortable silence fell over Brooke and her mum, as Brooke inhaled the food that was placed in front of her. Their silence was soon broken as the boys burst into the room.

"How are you feeling?" James asked with a small smile on his face, he still couldn't believe his little sister was home after all these years.

"Better now I have food" Brooke nodded towards the bowl of cheesy goodness. There was no stopping the yawn, with everything that had gone on she had forgotten how tired she was.

"Someone's tired," James laughed. "Finish your food and we will show you where your room is"

"She can sleep in my quarters" Xavier smiled making eye contact with Brooke, his blue eyes glistening in the light. She couldn't lie he was smoking hot and made her feel like a teenager again.

"No way" James growled glaring at his best friend.

"I was gonna sleep on my sofa don't worry bro" Xavier grinned.

"Still not happening" James said "if you have a problem with that I'm sure my dad will step in and agree with me"

"Fine" Xavier huffed "she can have the guest room down the hall from me"

"I'm going for a smoke and then can someone, anyone I don't really care who, show me where I'm sleeping" Brooke said standing up to head outside. As she walked outside Xavier followed Brooke.

"So this is a pretty nice place" she smiled leaning against the wall as she sparked her smoke.

"Yeah, it's taken us a long time to get the compound how we wanted it" Xavier smiled.

"I know one hundred percent I'm going to get lost" she laughed looking up at Xavier before sighing. "I blocked a lot of my memories out"

"I'm sure now you are home, you will start to remember your childhood memories, I mean we did have a blast" Xavier laughed sadly.

"Maybe" Brooke shrugged, throwing the cigarette into the bucket by the back door.

"Come on then Bumble Bee" he smiled opening the door for her  "let's show you your room so you can get some rest. One of the prospects has taken your things up"
