Brooke's pov

It was all over the news about this week's fashion show. I was on t.v interviewed where they asked me some questions about the upcoming fashion show. They wanted to know if I was nervous and where I got my ideas from. It's my new summer line and only the models and the people who work for me have seen the new line.

The inventions have already been sent out and to say I'm nervous is an understatement. I feel like a bridezilla well except that I'm not getting married I always get like this when I have a fashion show.

My employees as well as the models Nathaniel and I picked are busy getting ready. I peeked out at the people who were invited and all I see are snobs. Yes, I said snobs because all of them are filthy rich and most of these women only want the best they like gossiping about everything and everyone.

    Brooke's pov The way the beat of the music was vibrating through my body and the sweaty bodies that were bombing against me I knew I should have gone home. Home? Where is my home exactly? My parents? No, I'm a married woman that's not my home anymore. Martin? No, it wasn't my home, to begin with, it was and will always be Martin's home. Where do I go from here? My mother is dying and everyone kept it away from Jason and me. If I go back there now and I see him I might go crazy that's why I'm deciding to stay here and let out all my anger and frustration. Why I don't understand we are their children and we deserved to know that we are going to lose our mother before anyone else did. My mother, I can't believe I'm going to lose her. Tonight when she fainted it felt that a part of me was being ripped out when she didn't respond. I made my way through the people back to the bar to get another shot. Dancing made me thirsty and all this heat with the people on the dance floor didn't

    Brooke's pov I woke up feeling tired sounds weird right? Well, it isn't I didn't sleep at all I was crying all night about last night. Thinking about it makes me want to start crying all over again. I can't believe Martin actually said that I was whoring around last night. I was mad at him for even thinking that. I lay here in my bed just staring at the ceiling I have been awake for at least an hour and by this time Martin and I would be downstairs cooking breakfast together. I got up and went to the bathroom and when I saw my face I almost screamed. My eyes looked like I was in a fight. It was puffy and red and my hair is all tangled up. I got into the shower and let the water soothe my body. I wash my body and hair before stepping out. I took my day cream and apply it to my face hoping it will make a difference. I comb my hair and put it in a messy bun before getting dressed in sweatpants and a white tank top. As I walk downstairs I hear voices coming from the living room hopi

    Brooke's pov Another week has gone by. Another week where I still haven't talked to anyone and I'm feeling like I'm losing my mind. I miss my father especially on Wednesday when he usually shows up at my office for a gossip session as he likes to call it then he would bring doughnuts and Cappuccino but it's been two weeks since I last saw my family. I know I have to stop this childish behavior of mine its not fair to any of them, especially my mother. You must be wondering what happened when Jason came over. Well, let's just say Martin did take Jason out to buy all the stuff and I promised Jason that I will forgive him but it was hard. We went to the beach and the aquarium with him where I had to pretend but luckily Martin didn't push to which I was grateful. He enjoyed his day so much and I sometimes wish I could be six years old again. I couldn't get his words out of my head and his right we forgive the people we love. I promised him that we will have a sleepover again soon when

    Brooke's pov I knocked on the door and soon Jason opened it for me, "Hey Brooke!" He yelled jumping into my arms. "Hey, buddy, where's mom and dad?" I asked as I carry him. "Dad is in his office and mom is in their room," he said. Dad has always kept him busy whenever things got too much for him but I think this time it's going to break him knowing he could lose the love of his life any day now. I feel guilty for not coming sooner and being here with them to support him and my mother. I walked upstairs and soon find myself standing in front of their bedroom door. I took a big breath knowing that my mom is laying on her death bed behind this door. "Aren't you going in?" Jason asked. I looked at him, "Yeah let's go." I open the door slightly I put Jason down and walked into the room and my gaze fell on my fragile mother who still looks beautiful regardless of her sickness. She looks up and the moment she saw me she smiled and I run up to her hugging her as the tears fall down my
