It’s been a month since Brooke Mitchell died and up until now, Lacey can’t get over that fact. Brooke was very precious to her and George. She may be adopted but she treated Brooke as her own child.

She didn’t know why Brooke killed herself just like that. All along, she thought Brooke was happy again. She thought Brooke is starting to love herself and the people around her more now that she’s in a relationship with Luke once more. But all of them where just thoughts: they were not confirmed and they never will be confirmed.

Every night, she would go to Brooke’s room and cry herself to sleep. George would just carry her and bring her to their room so that they could sleep together. Every morning, she would go to Brooke’s room and try to wake up Brooke but when she opens the door, nobody’s there.

There are times when Lacey would wake up in the middle of the night and call out to Brooke. It’s as if she hears Brooke calling out for her but when she opens her eyes out wide, nobody’s there except George.

There are instance wherein Lacey would feel someone embracing her but she’s all alone. She believes that it’s Brooke. There are instances as well wherein Lacey claims that she saw Brooke at the terrace of their house but when other people would look, nobody’s there.

Some people think that Lacey is getting a little bit of crazy but other people think that it’s just normal for a mother to feel that way.

“Brooke, why did you have to leave us this way? If you only knew how much we miss you. I miss you so much. Your dad misses you so much. Even Luke misses you. Yeah, he’s alive. He lived for you but I guess he’s too late. You left him. You left us. Could you come back here Brooke? I love you so much, Brooke.” Lacey said while crying.

“Mom, I’m still here. I didn’t leave you. Can’t you see me? I’m here! I love you Mom!” Brooke tried to hug Lacey but failed to do so. Tears started to flow from her eyes as well.

“If only I could turn back time, I would never do that thing Mom. I love you and Dad so much. I wanted to be with Luke once more. I thought everything was going to be okay. I’m sorry I had to ruin everything.

I want to be with you again Mom. I want to go back to the past when everything was in place. I want to go back to the past when everyone was happy and peaceful. I want to go back to the past where in it’s just you, me, Dad, Agnes and Luke were together.

How am I supposed to do that Mom? I want you to fill the emptiness that I’m feeling. I want you to make me happy once more. I want you to cook and sing for me. I miss you so much Mom. You don’t know how miserable I am now.

Mom, please let me be with you. I swear I won’t leave your side. Just let me stay with you forever. I won’t do it again Mom! Please let me be with you and Dad. Mom, please.” Brooke screamed at the top of her lungs but Lacey didn’t hear her.

All has been said and done. Brooke killed herself and there’s no way to bring back her life. All that she could do is to long for the past and reminisce. All that she could do is to look from afar from the ones that she loves.

She’s gone but she would remain in the hearts of the people that she loves forever. She’s gone but the memories would stay fresh in their hearts and in their minds. She’s gone physically but she would be there in spirit.

It’s hard for Lacey, George and Luke to move on and the only for them to completely move on is to move to another place. Lacey and George asked Luke to stay with them but Luke declined the offer. So Luke moved back to his parents while Lacey and George looked for a new place to live in.

They have houses in different states but all of those have things that make them remember how happy they were when Brooke was still with them. So they decided to build a new house in Virginia. It’s just that they needed to wait a little longer before they could move in to their new house so they just stayed in their present house even if it kills them to death.

Yes, it would be very difficult for them but as long as they hold on to their love and faith to one another, they could surpass every challenge that would come along their way.

Too bad Brooke didn’t realize that before she committed suicide.
