"chapter 22- harm & hurt"

brooke walked out of hair & makeup to be greeted by her father.

"what're you doing here?" brooke questioned.

"came to see you model." her father said with a smile & brooke rolled her eyes.

she knew why he was really there. to spy & pry in on the quality time she was getting with her mother.

madison strutted over to brooke with a young boy by her side.

"brooke this is jackson, jackson this is my daughter brooke." madison said introducing them.

brooke and the boy shook hands and then they headed onto the set. the camera snapped photo after photo of brooke & jackson, for madison wilde's prom line.

the shoot came to a close & jackson approached brooke as she took her heels off.

"you're really pretty, you know." jackson said shooting his shot.

"thanks." brooke smiled.

"maybe i could take you out sometime?" jackson asked.

"sorry i have a boyfriend." brooke revealed.

"if you guys ever breakup, call me." jackson said winking & walking off.

brooke changed out of the dress & madison walked into the dressing room. then her father walked in sitting down in a chair glaring at madison.

"so what, you came here to just stare at me?" madison laughed at steve.

"i came for brooke's sake. but now we actually have to go to spencer's event. so you ready brooke ?" steve replied getting up.

"yeah dad." brooke said.

"brooke sweetie can you go grab my purse from the room?" madison asked her daughter & brooke left to go grab it.

"you're coming." steve asked.

"why wouldn't i?" madison laughed.

"what're you doing with my daughter?" steve whispered angrily.

"you came to my shoot." madison yelled.

"oh, here we go." steve mocked.

"you came to me." madison snarled.

"dad why don't you just go okay." brooke suggested & her father left leaving them alone.

"i'm sorry you had to hear us arguing. he's just so angry that you've been spending time here." madison apologized.

"i just wish you guys could get along." brooke sighed.

"yeah." madison exhaled.

"i mean what if you moved back in, you can meet jordan, and we can all be together just like old times." brooke rejoiced at her idea of bring their family back together.

"brooke your father is engaged, her names amanda right?" madison challenged.

"yeah, but i know he still loves you. & he'd drop her in a heartbeat if you said you wanted him back. i mean you do still love him right." brooke insisted.

"of course i still love your father, but i've done him enough harm & hurt. i'm not going to break up his engagement." madison vowed.

"i just want our family back." brooke cried as her mother swaddled her in her arms.

"i know sweetie, so do i." her mother affirmed as she rocked her crying daughter back in forth in her arms.
