A/N-I apologize for the long wait, but sometimes real life gets in the way. Senior year type stuff I have to deal with, but anyway, I finally found some free time and I figured I would get a chapter up.
Chapter Two: Nobody Cared
"Hi."
"Hi," Gracyn responds.
"Are you a girl scout or something because if you are my brother wants cookies?"
Gracyn laughs and shakes her head.
"I'm not a girl scout…I'm Gracyn…I'm your daughter."
Lucas stood in front of the door shocked. 'There is no way this is true…right?' Lucas keeps asking himself. Lucas looked at the blonde girl in front of him and couldn't help, but see a familiarity, but at the moment he couldn't think about it.
"Um… come in," Lucas mutters as he opens the door for Gracyn to step in.
"What's with the look man?" Nathan asks as he glances at Gracyn and then looks at his older brother.
"Nathan this is Gracyn…my daughter."
Nathan's eyes go wide and he looks at Gracyn who steps back a little bit now that all attention is on her.
"I'll just, let you be," Nathan states before hurrying out of the house.
When the door shuts Lucas turns to the girl in front of him.
"Explain something to me because I have no idea or had an idea that I had a kid somewhere out there."
Gracyn sighs and brings out a paper from her bag.
"Look, I am only here for one reason and one reason only. I need signatures. I need to get both signatures and if I don't get these signatures than I will have to spend another crappy 2 years being bounced around stupid foster care."
Lucas rubs his eyes with his hands and sits down on the edge of his couch.
"Signatures for what?"
"Giving up your parental rights…please just sign it so I can get emancipated and all this mess will be over. Since the time I was 10 I wanted to be 16 so that I could actually do this."
"Are you 16 now?"
Gracyn shakes her head.
"No, but in a few days I will be. Can you please sign?"
Gracyn hands over a pen and the paper and Lucas signs the papers without actually thinking about it.
"There you go."
"I need one more favor."
Lucas raises his eyebrow and squints like he normally does.
"And what is that?"
"I need to get a hold of Peyton Sawyer."
Lucas has complete shock written all over his face and he doesn't say a word. Gracyn waves her hand in his face.
"Lucas, are you okay?"
"Um…I just need a minute," Lucas says quickly before he exits the living room.
"Okay," Gracyn mutters as she looks around the room.
Gracyn looks at all of the photos on display in the living room. In one of them she sees a man and a woman with a small child in the photo. The woman had long brown hair and the small boy had blonde hair. Gracyn assumed that it was Lucas at a younger age. Another photo showed an older Lucas in a football uniform and he is kneeling on one knee. The last one that catches her eye looks to be a bunch a people in uniforms. 2 of the girls in the picture wore Raven's cheerleading outfits, and the last girl was decked out in casual wear with a smile on her face. The 2 boys wore basketball uniforms, one of them was Lucas and the other was Nathan.
"That was taken Junior Year. Those three girls right there," Lucas says as he points to each one, "the one on the left is Haley. She's married to my brother Nathan, the one that left earlier. The brunette is Brooke and the other girl is Peyton…your mom."
'She's pretty and I look like her.'
"I don't care. I just need to get a signature from Peyton is all and then I am gone."
Lucas clears his throat and Gracyn looks at him.
"She's on business at the moment, but she should be back tomorrow and then you can talk to her."
Gracyn nods her head and looks around one more time.
"So, you play basketball?"
Lucas smiles and nods his head.
"Yeah, my uncle Keith, um he taught me how to shoot a ball."
"You're lucky. Nobody ever taught me anything."
Lucas nods his head, but stops when he hears Gracyn continue.
"No one cared enough too."
"I'm sorry," Lucas says sincerely.
Gracyn looks up at Lucas and shakes her head.
"Don't sweat it. I gotta go," Gracyn says before running out of the house.
Lucas runs after her and out into the street.
"Gracyn!"
Sam walks up to Gracyn and sits next to her on the bench.
"How was it?" Sam asks carefully.
Gracyn looks at Sam and shrugs her shoulders.
"I only met Lucas. I did get his signature though so that's a plus."
Sam nods her head.
"So, um I saw Brooke high school years at least junior year."
Sam nods her head slowly.
"I figured it out as soon as you left."
"So your mom and my birth mother are freaking best friends."
Sam laughs slightly.
"Yep."
"This just got a little awkward didn't it?" Gracyn asks as she looks at her best friend.
"Pretty much."
"Should we tell Brooke?" Gracyn asks.
Sam shakes her head.
"No, you should probably get the signatures first Grace. It will at least help."
Gracyn takes a breath and lets it out.
"I hope so."
Lucas wonders back into the house and slowly picks up his phone and dials a number hoping to get someone to answer, he got lucky.
"I need to talk to you."
