A/N: This is my version of season six. Everything up to season 5 has happened except Dan was hit by a random person. I do not plan on bringing that psycho Carrie back at all. Even though this starts out with Leyton it will eventually be a Brucas story, I just feel like I need to resolve them first before I move on. I will be incorporating some things from the current season 6 but the story is pretty much already planned out. Anyhow, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own OTH, it's characters or it's concepts. If I did Brucas would obviously be the end game,and Jake would've been back last year.
Prologue
Ronald Dahl once wrote, "Watch with glittering eyes the world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." Lucas Scott was a firm believer in this quote and in the message that you always found the best surprises in the unexpected; like the love Nathan and Haley had found in each other, the strength Peyton found after meeting her brother, or the drive Brooke found while she was trying to mend her heart when she single handedly created a fashion conglomerate before her 21st birthday.
The five of them had become such an integral part of each other's lives and even though other people had come and go, and they themselves had sometimes found themselves apart, they always came back to each other and to Tree Hill.
It was from Tree Hill and his four friends that Lucas got his inspiration. In Nathan he had found the brother he never knew he wanted. In Haley he'd found a best friend and then a sister. In Peyton he'd found a kindred spirit and in Brooke he'd discovered what it meant to truly live life.
They had been his unexpected gifts; the greatest secrets in unlikely places and Lucas Scott believed he'd always looked at life through glittering eyes. But what Lucas had not remembered as he sat in front of his computer, typing the beginnings of his third novel was another quote from Bill Cosby reading, "Every closed eye is not sleeping and every open eye is not seeing."
What Lucas Scott would soon learn was that sometimes your eyes can be wide shut.
