My life with Luke

I loved you...

two weeks later.....

Brooke's POV

My bullet wound had healed nicely and everything was going right in our life except Luke and I's love had running dry. Between taking care of the kids, his career, and my injury, we had been seeing less and less of each other and our love was dying. 

He used to hold my hand and hold the door. He never does that for me anymore. Last night we were laying in bed and I kissed his face. Instead of his usual response of kissing me back he rolled over a said "I gotta work in the morning" and rolled back to sleep.

I just sat there and thought he used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart. I felt so unbelievable in his arms. Now all we do is fight and I catch myself constantly looking down at my wedding ring. I have so much to loss if I leave and I don't wanna leave I just want it to be that way again.

The next day I had coffee with this new guy I had met at the gym. No I wasn't cheating on Luke. He was just a new friend and a friend was what I needed right now. 

We were having pointless conversations about life and what we wanted to do with them when he asked "can I see you again?" 

I smiled at him like I hadn't smiled in months, but my smile turned to tears. I told him " he used to love me like crazy. I don't wanna leave him.  I just want him to be that way again."

He held me close until all my tears were gone and walked me out to my car then he left. I got a call from Luke while I was sitting in my car. I had to go pick up the kids from Leclaire's. He didn't even say "hi or babe how was your day" no he said "when you getting home?"

I said " you used to love me like crazy! You couldn't pull us apart. I felt so unbelievable in your arms. Now I keep looking down at my ring and thinking I don't wanna leave. I just need us to be that way again."
