If a glare could kill, Lucas would have been dead and buried the day she found out. She’d been giving him the cold shoulder ever since. Needed the space to come to turns with her new normal; one that she didn’t need paired with her current family situation. Brooke had always been alone. But this was the first time she felt hollow. You’d think he would get the picture. She didn’t want to speak with him again. But then again, maybe he was starting to grow a conscious. Ha. A bit late for that one. 

As she continued to walk away, she stopped dead in her tracks when his words pierced through her. Anger started to culminate her. Common sense told her to ignore and just walk away, but the hurt was too deep, the betrayal so ingrained...she couldn’t hold back her retort. “Which part? That you cheated on me with my best friend, or that this whole time you were just stringing me along until she was ready for you?” Her eyes were welling up with tears but her words came out angry. hurt.  “No amount of sorry is going to fix this, Lucas. You should know better than that.”

                            his expression is grave, and it shows with how heavy his brows weighs on his young face. his jaw is set and his green eyes are narrowed as he observes. he doesnt quite have the words to explain what had taken place or really even justify his own actions at the time, but silence seems to be his best friend at this point and time. the distant red and blue emergency lights seem to cast odd shadows against the small crowd forming in the street. he was to blame he was certain of it, but there was no evidence of his involvement even he knew that. he’d been with @aethlas​ the entire time, but with his momentary black outs he wasnt sure anymore. 

❝     i don’t think we have any other choice.     ❞     she didn’t like it much, though, and would’ve preferred almost any other option.   but there wasn’t any, at least none she could think of.   but perhaps  ... and with a sudden thought in mind, she cast a hopeful glance at the person standing opposite of her.   just because she wasn’t able to think of anything else, didn’t necessarily mean there wasn’t anything else they could do.
