Thinking it through
Disclaimer:- Sadly i don't own anything from OTH although it would be kinda cool if i did.
This is just a short little one shot trying to reflect Lukes thoughts before he made the call at the end of the 5th series. Who's he calling?You decide although i did leave a little clue as to who i think he called. See if you can find it. Enjoy
It's been a long road the last few years. I've lived more in the last three years then I think I ever lived growing up. I've written and published one successful book and just finished another one. I've proposed to two women both for the wrong reasons. I've taken on the role of uncle and big brother that growing up I never really had despite being a big brother all of my life. I've been in love with two women and cared for others. Now it's time to take stock and think. Who am I? My name is Lucas Scott and I am in love. Who with? Well that's the problem, you see don't really know who I am in love with. It's between two women who are both important to me but which one I'm really in love with and which one I am just falling back on is hard to know.
One of the girls I think I love is my other half in many ways. She gets who I am, what I like and what I think and doesn't judge me for my faults. She understands me when I say things that maybe aren't right for that moment and forgives me almost anything because she see that I am trying even if I don't always get to where I am going. She saves me from myself when I fear I'm failing or begin to fall apart and doesn't expect anything in return but my love.
The other girl also gets me in a way. She looks at what I do and not only understands what I say may be slightly wrong at times she adjusts what I say so other people can see what I'm trying to say without getting hurt. She has never judged me for my faults either but only helps me to see them and offers suggestions as to how I can correct them if I want to. In a lot of ways, different to the first girl, she is also my other half. She saves me from myself when I want to brood and turn my emotions inward.
The big problem I have is deciding between the two of them. It's a problem I've always had, deciding between the two important women in my heart. When I was in high school my inability to decide almost ruined one of the greatest friendships I've ever known. My own innate problem in choosing and sticking to that choice meant that for two whole years I flitted from one girl to another, hurting both and driving a wedge between them that almost didn't heal. Now four years later I find my self at the same point. The girls are different, well one of them is, but the problem is still the same.
I know I have to make a choice but I don't want to hurt anyone and while I know that no matter who I choose one of the girls is going to get hurt I just can't decide, so I hurt them both.
Enough I have to decide and I think I have. It's time. I'd better call the girl I love before things get any worse.
"Hello?"
"It's me. I'm at the airport and I have two tickets to Vegas. Do you still want to get married?"
"I'm on my way Luke. I'll be seeing you soon"
