Unexpected Parents.
Chapter 1
Sawyer Scott is a 15 year old girl living in Charlotte North Carolina. Since she was born she was passed from one foster home to another. One night she got tired of living with strangers. She wanted a sense of family. So she set out to find her father. The only thing she had to go on was a letter her birth mother left.
Dear baby Sawyer,
You won't know me very much but I am your mom. My name is Peyton Saywer. By the time you read this you will be old enough to understand why I couldn't keep you. Maybe right now it doesn't make sense or anything but I need you to know that this was best for you. You need to know that your father has never met you, he doesn't even know you exist. That is my fault too. Lucas Scott is his name if you ever want to meet him. Please don't hate him. I know if he met you he'd love you so much. I hope one day you grow up to be an amazing woman. If I leave you with one thing it's this… Follow your heart and never give up on your dreams. You may not believe me now. But I'll always love you Sawyer, you are the very best piece of me.
Love, Your Momma.
Sawyer couldn't remember how many times she read those words over and over again. She folded the letter again and put it in her pocket. She stepped on the train and headed to Tree Hill, North Carolina in search of her father. It was easy to track him down considering there was only one Lucas Scott in North Carolina, who also published a book. It's called An Unkindness of Ravens. It was a love story about him and her mother. She found his address and decided to take a leap of faith and talk to the man whom never knew she existed. She arrived in Tree Hill that night, it was late she decided to sleep on a bench in the park by the river.
The sun rose and shined in Sawyer's face. She awoke and stretched, she heard a voice behind her. She got up and turned to see a tall sandy blonde man with sky blue eyes hugging a basketball. She knew then that was Lucas Scott the man she was searching for. Sawyer smiled inwardly, she went over to the puzzeled man and spoke just above a whisper.
"Hi, are you Lucas Scott?"
"That's me." Luke smiled.
Sawyer stiffened, she gathered her confidence and spoke sternly.
"I'm Sawyer… Sawyer Scott and I'm your daughter."
Lucas' eyes widened. He was baffeled at this young girl's claim. He looked at the girl's situation.
"Did you sleep here last night?" He asked.
"Yes…" The blonde curly haired girl looked ashamed.
"Alright let's go to my house, we'll get you some food and cleaned up." Luke reached out his hand.
Sawyer hesitated for a moment. But then took his big hand in her small one.
They arrived at his house which was a bachelor pad. She met three guys that lived with him. The first guy's name was "Mouth". He was a skinny guy with big lips. The next guy was Julian, He was tall dark haired guy with an infectious grin. The last guy was "Skills". He was a buff guy with nice chocolate skin. Sawyer went to bathroom to wash up. She came out to the kitchen where Lucas was making sandwhiches for lunch. They sat down and there was an awkward silence.
"So… You're gay?" Sawyer asked.
"What? No! Why would you assume that?" He choked on his water.
"Oh because you live with a bunch of men and not a woman in sight!" Sawyer said sarcastically.
"Well if you must know I was in love once with a girl just so you know! But after we broke up I was a wreck and as you can see I'm not completely healed from it." Luke explained.
"Peyton Sawyer did that to you?"
"Yeah… Wait, how did you?"
Sawyer pulled out a copy of Lucas' book. Luke half smiled and nodded. Lucas quickly changed the subject.
"So you just dropped this bomb on me. How do I even know it's true?"
"Let me ask you… Look at me, I mean really look at me do I remind you of someone?"
Within seconds Lucas turned pale white! He couldn't… No he wouldn't believe it. But it was true she was Peyton's daughter.
"No, it couldn't be." Luke said.
Sawyer gave the letter to Lucas and waited paitently as he read it. Lucas finished in disbelief. Lucas was a little enraged.
"So what do you want money?" He took that anger out on Sawyer.
"No! I don't I wanted to meet my father but I see that me being here was a mistake, so I'll just go." Sawyer headed to the door.
"Sawyer wait! Is anyone worried about you do you have a family where you're from?"
Tears start to pool in the young girls eyes, she starts to talk but her voice cracks.
"I've been in 12 different foster homes since I was born. No one has adopted me."
Lucas hugs Sawyer tightly. In the matter of hours he's grown to care for her. After she is his daughter.
"Have you met your mother yet?" He asked.
"No… But i've read about her. The small town girl who made it big with her #1 record label. I heard and I don't care, she never came back for me. So why should I care… I don't!" Sawyer began to cry harder.
Lucas held his daughter. He felt helpless and angry that the woman he once loved not only didn't tell him about his daughter but she hurt her so badly.
"Alright so you'll just stay with me. I know it's messy but I'll find us a place soon."
Lucas took her bags up to a spare room.
"This will have to do for now."
"This is perfect."
"Are these the only clothes you have?"
"Yes…" Sawyer looked shamefully.
"Okay, We will go shopping tomorrow."
Sawyer smiled and looked at Lucas in awe. She looked exactly like her mother. Except the eyes… He knew she got those from him. He went down to his room, he was drained. A teenaged girl dropped into his lap. At 32 he had to learn to be a father overnight.
The next day they headed to the mall. They went to the junior section and he was amazed because she dressed just like Peyton when she was that age. She picked out ripped jeans and band tees and black and white converse sneakers. As they made it to the bra and pantie section, he let her venture on her own. They paid for her new wardrobe and went to the foodcourt.
Thanks for the clothes D… Well I don't know what to call you." Sawyer explained.
"Whatever you feel like calling me is fine. Lucas, Luke, Dad?"
"I'm not comfortable calling you dad, but thank you Lucas, you have been so nice to me."
"You're welcome." Lucas smiled at his daughter.
