Everything's Changing
Here's chapter 2, it's very short, but they won't all be I promise. Thanks for all the great reviews from the last chapter it meant a lot to me :)
Also, the more reviews, the more it makes me want to write and longer chapters so… xPP
Chapter 2: Please
(Sawyer parents never told her much about their past, they just never wanted to bring it up. She was still determined to figure out everything about them. Their story).
Ms. Darren: We are going to be reading these two novels and discussing the similarities, differences, and love. We are going to start with An Unkindness of Ravens by Lucas Scott.
(Rylie, Sawyers best friend whispered to her).
Rylie: Isn't Lucas Scott your dad?
Sawyer: Yeah, why? (Sawyer clearly wasn't paying any attention to the teacher).
Rylie: Why didn't you tell me he was an author?
Sawyer: What? He for sure did not write a book! I've never seen him pick up a book!
Ms. Darren: Now this story is a love story, about two people made for each other finding each other, through everything they go through to get there. Now when I call your name for attendance I'll hand you your copy of the book which you are to return to me in perfect condition at the end of the unit.
Ms. Darren: Alex Green?
Ms. Darren: Erin Hamiltion?
Ms. Darren: Sawyer Scott.
Sawyer: Right here.
Ms. Darren: If you don't mind me asking, are you related to Lucas Scott in anyway? (She asked as she handed her the novel).
Sawyer: Well my dad's name is Lucas Scott, but I doubt he wrote a book.
Ms. Darren: If you don't mind me asking who's your mother?
Sawyer: Peyton Sawyer why?
(Ms. Darren had a grin on her face).
Ms. Darren: Well I'd beg to differ, your father defiantly wrote this book.
Sawyer: How do you know?
Ms. Darren: Guess you'll just have to read it to find out.
Sawyer: Miss, please tell me!
Ms. Darren: Nope. Rylie Smith?

Ms. Darren: Okay tonight for homework. Read chapter 1, and answer summary questions.
Class: Ugh!
Ms. Darren: Oh shush, you're back in school!

Peyton: Hey kiddo, how was your first day?
Sawyer: Okay, just doing homework?
Peyton: You have homework on your first day?
Sawyer: Yeah, well it's high school.
Peyton: What you working on?
Sawyer: My english.
Peyton: Fun.
Sawyer: We're reading a book in class.
Peyton: Oh which?
Sawyer: An Unkindness of Ravens, I'm pretty sure you've heard of it right?
Peyton: Um yeah, why?
Sawyer: Well you're in it, and if I didn't know any better dad even wrote it.
Peyton: That's true.
Sawyer: Is that all your going to say?
Peyton: What do you want me to say?
Sawyer: All my life I wanted to know about your past, and story, and life and you never said anything! Never mentioned a thing and everything's written in a whole fucking book.
Peyton: Hey, watch your language!
Sawyer: Sorry, but you've never said anything to me ever why? Why not?
Peyton: Sweetie, I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to think about and talk about. It was a long time a go.
Sawyer: It's hard for you? You wanted the divorce!
Peyton: There was a reason behind it!
Sawyer: Well that would you like to inform me?
Peyton: Okay, first calm down. I'll tell you about it if you really want to know.
Sawyer: Please.
Peyton: Well your father and I were different. We were those characters you would read about in books. Not like Romeo and Juliet, but a fairytale, epic. The world expected us to be together forever, and then everything sort of went dark. It was about when you were 3 or 4, but the main reason happened before you were born. When I was pregnant with you we couldn't be happier, but I had a medical condition that meant that I had the risk of hemorrhagingduring pregnancy or labour.
Sawyer: What's that mean?
Peyton: It meant that if everything didn't go smoothly I could've died and you too, and there was a point where we talked about abortion, but I couldn't do it, and I wanted this baby, I wanted you.
Sawyer: But everything went smoothly cause otherwise you wouldn't be here right?
Peyton: Well the night we wed, I was 8 months pregnant, and I know I past out or something I can't remember because next thing I woke up in a hospital bed, and I was fine and so were you. It was a miracle, and we were so happy.
Sawyer: Then what happened?
Peyton: Well I really wanted to have another child, and in your fathers heart I know he wanted to too, but he didn't want to take the risks of anything happening to me.
Sawyer: Well that's understandable.
Peyton: Yeah, but then I found out I was pregnant.
Sawyer: Did you get an abortion?
Peyton: No, I could never--
Sawyer: Give it up for adoption?
Peyton: No! Well I miscarried, and thing got dark for me and things went downhill with our relationship. We spend most nights fight and everything fell apart and we realized that the world was wrong. We weren't meant to be, and we needed to stop fighting it.
Sawyer: I think you two belong together.
Peyton: I used too.
Sawyer: Why doesn't dad write anymore?
Peyton: I think he kind of just lost his inspiration, kind of like I did with my art.
Sawyer: What about before that. When did you and dad meet?
Peyton: I think most of that's in the book your reading.
Sawyer: I know it is but I want to hear it from you.
Peyton: Yeah?
Sawyer: Please?
Peyton: Sure, but not all tonight, you need to finish your homework anyway.
Sawyer: Okay. And mom.
Peyton: Yeah?
Sawyer: I love you.
Peyton: I love you too kid.
