A Drop In The Ocean

by Sunrise-Rose1023

"A drop in the ocean, a change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, but I'm holding you closer than most, because you are my heaven." Sequel to "Darkness On The Edge of Town." After Lydia leaves Tree Hill, Jude and her family try to cope.**RATED M FOR A REASON**

1. Intro

By popular demand, here is the sequel to "Darkness On The Edge Of Town"! I wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to my loyal readers who hung in there with me through the good and bad of that story. I read all the reviews (Honest!) and I am so appreciative of each one. Sometimes you guys even give me ideas, so keep up the good work! ;)

This story takes place right after "Darkness" ended. I'm trying something a little different, so please let me know what you think. Lydia, Jude, and Sawyer are going to be writing journal entries as parts of their treatments and trying to cope with what happened. In between the journaling, the story will progress. I'll do my best to make it obvious when the journal stops and the story begins.

While writing "Darkness," I stumbled upon a song that I believe is just PERFECT for Jude and Lydia. It's called "A Drop In The Ocean," by Ron Pope, and it is actually where the title of this story comes from. If you want, go give it a listen, and imagine Jude and Lydia. But have some Kleenex handy.

AS A REMINDER, this story is rated M for a reason. This story will include mentions of suicide, depression, drug use, and self-harm. If these are a trigger for anyone, please turn around now. If not, thank you for reading! I'm looking forward to the reviews already! :)
