Dance With My Father Again
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell, fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure, I was loved.
The hour was late; Rebecca Scott sat up waiting for the answer from the doctors on the condition of her father, Lucas Scott.
At 2:45 am 16 yr old Rebecca lost her father, the only boy she loved with her whole heart. She had never heard her mother cry for so many hours till this night. Brooke stayed up many hours looking at the pictures of her family, their wedding pictures, their honeymoon, the birth of their daughter, and the last vacation they took together.
Rebecca swore to never forget her father and the memories they shared.
10 years before
"Daddy! Daddy! Dance with me" asked 6 yr old Rebecca
"It would be my honour" smiled her father Lucas Scott as he held out his hand to her
"Mommy to?" Rebecca smiled
"Come on Brooke dance with us" Lucas laughed
"I would love to" Brooke said as she took their hands and spun around and around
End of Flashback
If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again.
The funeral was beautiful, everything planned out beautifully just like he would have wanted.
Brooke tried to hold it together for the sake of her daughter and her dearest friends, Tutor mom, Nathan, Jamie, Skills, Mouth, Karen, Andy, Lily Lindsey & of course Peyton.
That night when Rebecca was sleeping she remembered her father
"But mom everyone else is going! Please let me go!" yelled 14 yr old Rebecca
"I don't care who is going you promised to do chores today, you're not going young lady" Brooke stood her ground firmly with her daughter.
Rebecca ran into her father's office yelling "mom's being unfair".
He hugged her tightly and stroked her beautiful brunette hair like her mother
"Shh its okay Rebecca mom is just looking out for you, I know it's hard to understand now but you will" smiled Lucas
"But daddy I want to go out with my friends!" she pouted
"Oh what is that face" laughed Lucas, "is it this?" Lucas started making funny faces at his daughter
"Oh daddy stop it!" laughed Rebecca
"Please just do what mommy asks? Then we can bake cookies after you finish?" Lucas proposed
"Really?! Cookies? Yay!" Rebecca ran off to do her chores
End of Dream
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me (ooh)
And finally make me do just what my mother said
Rebecca woke up and looked under her pillow...
Later that night when I fell asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
She picked up the last thing her father left her, he always left her a dollar bill under her pillow since she could remember, it was their thing.
One final tear slid down Rebecca's face
If I could steal one final glance,
One final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again.
Rebecca loved her father, and always will.
