Something Familiar
Lucas Scott. Pro basket ball player. At least what was supposed to be until his dreams were put on hold for his health? Writing was his second choice. And with his editor gone in his life he didn't know if he still had a chance at that. Maybe being a small town basketball coach would be the best he got.
As he sat at his desk with his computer open to an empty document thinking about what could have been. What could have been if Peyton had said yes to marry him two years ago? Or if Lindsey hadn't helped publish his first novel. Where would he be now?
He could write about his failed attempt at marriage with Lindsey, or his friends wish to be a mother. Or he could write about his struggle to be "just friends" with Peyton Sawyer. But those were their lives, not his. And as much as he loved them, he couldn't use their lives as another chapter in another novel.
As he left the document open he went over to the top drawer of his dresser where he left a ring. An engagement ring that was meant for his true love. And now he didn't know who that was. And didn't know how to start the beginning of his second novel.
He was reminded of Keith. Keith loved his mom. Even when she didn't love him back, Keith never gave up on her.
As Lucas looked up he saw a picture of his basketball team with Whitey. How happy they all looked with the excitement of victory.
And at that exact moment, Lucas saw someone in his dreams. Someone familiar.
He stopped to think first about what this meant. About who he'd say in his dream. Was it because he needed to be in the relationship to feel secure or was it that he couldn't stand to be away from them. Either way, there was this pull keeping these two apart and he would just have to separate that pull.
