Some say, fates are decided before you are even born. Others say, fate does not exist. But for me, your fate is decided when you choose to accept it. And the name of my fate is, Peyton Sawyer.
"So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours"-Jason Mraz "I'm Yours"
Chapter 1: Through the Eyes of Regret
"We've had one chance to, take back, but over and over again
I'll clean your wounds tonight, so we can rewind it all 'till I come inside
I'll tear in two and never lie to you (cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now (cause you want to take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening (I never told you what you were missing)"-Saosin "I Never Wanted To"
Someday could have been today. Or Tomorrow. Maybe even yesterday. But as Lucas Scott lay on the rustled sheets that were dismantled on his bed, he wished…he hoped that this bed was the one where he let fate slip through his fingertips months before. Only this time, he would grip it as if God was reaching into his soul. Lucas felt his eyes becoming heavy, and slowly the ceiling that was spinning, all turned black. He was now asleep, and in this world, he would accept the word "someday."
A pounding at Lucas' bedroom door, welcomed his eyes back to reality. He slowly forced himself to a sitting position and rubbed his eyes. The pounding continued, only it was in his head. And then, again at his door.
"Luke? Luke, man wake up!" a voice proclaimed coming from the other side of the door.
Lucas stood up, and finally made his way to open it.
"Nathan? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Lucas said in a raspy voice.
"More like middle of the day, unless you grew some fangs and live in a coffin." He said jokingly. "Speaking of the night, what happened to you last night?" asked Nathan. "You went outside for that phone call, but never came back."Nathan walked over to sit on the bed next to Lucas.
"It was….um….my mom calling to make sure Jamie got his birthday gift." Lucas said avoiding the real reason.
"Well that's funny, because Haley talked to your mom yesterday morning about that." Nathan said finally realizing who had called Lucas.
"Look man," Nathan said positioning his hands on the bed to stand up. But before Nathan could say anything else he felt something silky under his hand that was on the bed. "Uh..never mind Luke." Nathan said realizing what he was about to say was irrelevant due to the fact that Peyton and Luke weren't together anymore. "You should probably take a shower or something and maybe wash the bed sheets," Nathan said handing Lucas the piece of undergarment. "And I should probably go take a shower too, because who knows what happened in your bed last night." Nathan said. "If you want to forget her, Luke, meaningless sex is not the answer."
Lucas crashed back on his bed as Nathan walked out the door.
