Hey everybody! This is my third story, my first that isn't going to be based primarily on romance. Basically, Lucas is going to get sick and his world is going to change and he'll find out that he can't get through it alone. I really want to focus on relationships such as Lucas/Nathan, Lucas/Haley, Lucas/Dan, and of course the romance in the story will be focused on Lucas/Brooke, Nathan/Haley, and Peyton/Jake.
The story is pretty much set after episode 3x10. Some things are different though, especially with the adults. Lucas and Brooke are not "dating" yet, but they are getting much closer. Nathan and Haley are pretty much back together but they still have some trust issues to deal with. Jake is not back yet. Deb has already run away and Dan is living at the beach house. Keith is not back yet. Karen is still in New Zealand with Andy. Lucas does not have HCM. Everything else is pretty much like how it is in the show. Hope you like the story! -Justine
