Between the Earth and Sky

Here is yet another story! Please leave comments and I'll try to update every day!

Thanks!

Lily

My mom used to tell me, that there is a place, between Earth and sky, where we all go to dream. There's nothing wrong with a good day dream, because even when all the things in your life could be going wrong, you could always go to "Dreamland" (as my mother called it) to dream about anything you'd like.

My name is Lily Roe Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High. I lived with my mother, Karen Roe, until she passed away last month. Now, my brother Lucas, and his wife are living with me.

My brother Lucas is the greatest guy you'll ever meet. He is 17 years older than me but the age difference never mattered, he's just my brother. He and his wife are expecting their first baby next month.

My best friends got married 2 weeks ago. Crazy, huh? I mean we're only 17. But they do love each other, you can just see it in their eyes.

James

My name is James Lucas Scott. I am 17 years old, and a senior. I got married too. Pretty crazy, but I just didn't think I'd ever be able to live without her. She's amazing, and my best friend….well other than Lily of course. I'm also having a little brother or sister in a few months, my mom is having another baby. I can't wait, even though we'll be so far apart in age.

"James." Bridget whined "I think we better get up so we're not late for school………again."

I laughed, I guess she has a point. I kissed her again before getting out of bed and putting my boxers on.

A few minutes later, my phone rang, when I didn't pick it up in time, Bridget's phone rang.

It was obviously Lily.

"Lily!" Bridget yelled into the phone.

"Bridgey!" I heard Lily yell back.

They talked for a few minutes while I got ready, and as soon as she hung up the phone, there was a knock at the door and Lily walked in.

"What was the phone call for?" I asked as soon as Lily walked in.

Lily just shrugged and gave me a hug "Ready for school?"

We were on Christmas break, so Bridget and I haven't been back to school since we tied the knot.

"Are people talking?" Bridget asked, walking out to our kitchen.

Lily turned to her "Are you kidding? It's been the talk of the school for 2 weeks! That's the longest anyone has stayed on one topic!"

"Great." Bridget and I said at the same time.

Lily

When we pulled up to school and got out of the car, everyone looked at James and Bridget when we walked past. Which I guess was expected. It's not like anyone predicted them to get married so soon, but love does strange things to you. We all walked to English together, and sat down. Because of the lack of English teachers, we were put with my brother. Do you know how weird it is to call your brother Mr. Scott? He's a good teacher though, he's a lot of fun.

"Hey everyone. I hope you all had a good break." Lucas said

Everyone nodded.

"I know it's the 2nd half of senior year and you guys are gonna start slaking." Lucas said

"No we won't!" one girl yelled.

"I was 17 once too believe it or not, and trust me. You're gonna start slaking." He joked "Oh, and guess what?"

Lucas looked at me when he told the news "My wife is having a boy!"

Everyone congratulated him and I ran up and gave him a hug. My brother and I usually didn't associate much in school because of teacher to student rules, but I didn't care. This was big news!

James

"Look Bridget, I don't know what you want me to say!" I said calmly, sitting on our bed.

"You're right, I don't know what I want you to say either. Maybe this was a mistake James. Maybe we shouldn't have rushed into this." Bridget told me before walking out of the bedroom.

"Bridget, you're not leaving, there's a huge hurricane coming." I told her

"I just need to clear my head. I'll be fine." She told me, and before I could stop her, she was out the door.

For better or for worse I keep telling myself.

Lily

When I opened the door, the wind blew in the rain, it was hideous outside.

"Bridget, what happened?" I asked as Bridget stepped inside.

"We fought. I told him that we were too young, and maybe we rushed into this." Bridget cried.

I gave her a hug and she sat on the couch "Can I stay here tonight?" she asked

Of course she could. I got her settled, and that's when there was another knock at the door.

"A category four hurricane, and everyone is out and about." I said to myself, opening the door.

"I'm so glad you're here." Aunt Haley said quickly, coming inside "We had to leave the house because they evacuated everyone on the beach."

Uncle Nathan followed her inside.

They saw Bridget in the other guest room.

"Where's James?" Haley asked

"They got in a fight." I told them "Something stupid. But James is still home."

Haley sighed "Nathan, can you go get James? I don't trust him driving in this weather. But be careful, please." She begged

Uncle Nathan left to go get James, and Brooke walked in the living room, her hair wet from the shower.

"Well, don't we have a full house?" she said, sitting slowly on the couch, hands on her belly.

Aunt Haley went and sat down next to her and they talked. Aunt Haley also had a baby bump; she was due in 3 months.
