Chapter (1) Life Against Reality
Lucas was looking out on the mini golf coarse of the some what tall building. He was looking out to the night sky entranced by stars that sprinkled the dark mass. He just wondered how it could be so far away but look like they were close enough to grab a handful. He though maybe it was just one of the many secrets the world held. It was getting later by the hour but he could not bring himself to face reality, life, or what was ahead of him. He couldn't believe he would be graduating in 3 days and leaving home in 10. But he was laughing at himself because even though that should be what scared him right now it wasn't. This was his place, Haley's place. It was their place. He smiled at the memory of their discovery of this place.
*flash back*
Haley: I dear you go all the way to the top and open the door. When you get up there don't forget to yell down that you did it. (Ten year old minds always thinks that every thing and every body was mysterious and had a secret. But perhaps they were right)
Lucas climbed the long stairs and when he got to the top he hesitated for a minute but then he reached out his shaking hand and he looked as if he was scared out of his wits. He opened the door slowly and cautiously. The door stayed open in front of him, he didn't move at first but the open door sparked his curiosity so he took a couple steps and he pushed the door open the widest it could go. He walked a couple more steps then stopped. He figured he had uncovered a secret of life and Beauty.
Haley: Lucas? Are you up there? (here voice was scared and frightened.)
Ten year old Lucas bent over just a little close to the edge and smiled so Haley could see him..
Haley: What's up there?
Lucas: The sky .
From then on that was their "little secret" spot. With their own imagination and creativity that made it into a mini golf coarse. So it was now called the "mini golf coarse".
*end of flash back*
But it was so much more than that to Lucas and Haley. They came up here when they wanted to get away form everybody and everything. Or sometimes if they felt the world was closing in on them, they could get space up here. Some times there was nothing wrong just to talk and chat and play a good ol game of golf. He smiled when he remembers Haley's pouty face every time he won which was most of the time. Sometimes he would let her win just to see her little victory dance and that child like smile on her face. Like she was saying I won and you didn't. He missed his mom, Haley, and this already. Haley wasn't family but she was his best friend and mind as well be called family. He thinks things will be different, no he know things will be different. He will have to travel miles and miles just to see Haley when he was used to her living right down the street, literally a phone call away. Yeah sure there would be the visits on holidays and some weekends and them unexpected visits but it wouldn't be enough. He doesn't think he'll ever get use to not having Haley around, or not being able to make last minute plans of hanging out 10 minutes before he's knocking at her door or she's knocking at his door. Besides who would talk him out of doing something stupid, or made sure he stayed on top of his game. Who was he kidding he needed Haley to be by his side when he faced the world for the first time. He wanted to share it with her. They always had each others back, each other shoulder, each others listening ear, they had each other and together it was them against the world. But now he felt like it was just the world against him. Yeah of coarse he had his mom but there's only so much she can do.
But there was nothing he could do Haley had to follow her own path and so did he. And he had to do what he had to do. He willed himself to get up and walk through that door and face his reality.
