Episode 1 Ch. 1- The Day My Life Changed

Lucas' Voice in Italics

My name is Lucas Scott and I've had a lot of those moments where I can look back and say that my life truly changed. Today is one of those days because it's not everyday you bury your mother.

The Scene goes to a graveyard. Lucas is seen holding Lily's hand tightly. She has tears running down her face. Although it was sunny in Tree Hill that day everything seemed so dark and lonely. The graveyard begins to become empty with only Lucas, Lily, and Andy standing next to Karen's grave. Lily leans on Lucas as tears roll down her soft face. It is much like the scene when Karen and Lucas had to bury Keith.

The scene changes to Lucas' house. Lucas moved into his childhood home after his divorce from Peyton. There are people everywhere in the house. Lucas is sitting on his bed looking at a picture of his mom.

A young boy enters the room and remains standing. He doesn't speak at first and then finally he gains enough courage to speak.

Keith- Dad (He has his hands in his pocket) I know it's hard, but mom thinks that you should come out and speak to everyone.

Lucas- (He looks up and all he can say) Yeah

Keith- I can stay here for a few days if that's what you need.

Lucas- sure

Keith- Dad come on you can talk to me. (Keith still has his hands in his pockets and looks nervous talking to his dad)

Lucas- I know Keith I'm just having a hard time ok. Tell your mom I'll be right out, and thank her for getting this all together. I don't know what I would have done without her help.

Keith- ok…. (he goes to leave but then he turns back around) Just know that I'm here for you if you need me (Keith walks out and a tear rolls down Lucas' face and onto the picture he is holding.)

In the main part of the house Peyton is greeting the guest and trying to stay strong for everyone. Andy comes over to where she is standing.

Andy- Peyton have you seen Lily?

Peyton- no not since the funeral

Andy- I'm really worried about her I haven't seen her either.

In one of the bedrooms of the house Lily locks the door and Chase is standing by the bed.

Chase- (He looks concerned) Lily are you sure about this? You just lost your mother.

Lily- (She goes over to where he is standing and pushes him on the bed) My mom would want me to continue to live my life, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. (She starts kissing him and unbuttoning his shirt. He sits there in astonishment. He looks really worried about her but he really loves having sex with her so he doesn't say anything)

Lucas is still sitting on his bed with the same picture in his hands. Brooke enters the room. Before she can say anything Lucas speaks.

Lucas- Did Peyton send you to check up on me?

Brooke- No, I was actually looking for you. I know you probably don't want to talk about it, so I thought I would just sit here with you for a while. It might help.

Brooke sat on the bed next to him and he held her hand.

Lucas- My mom loved you. She thought you were a really good person Brooke, and she was so proud of you.

Brooke- She was proud of you too Luke.

Lucas- (He sighs) She fought so hard to stay alive. I'll never forget the moment when she took her last breath Brooke. That was the moment that everything changed for me. I don't know how I'm gonna do it. I've already lost Keith and Haley and now my mother I can't bare to lose anything else.

Brooke- I'm so sorry Luke, but your mom would want you to live your life to the fullest. Trust me I know that's hard, but you just have to take it day by day, and know that your friends are here for you.

Lucas- Is that how you did it when Chase died?

Brooke- Yeah I guess it was a little easier for me because I had Isabella to think about. She needed her mother after she lost her father. I'm not going to lie to you, I had those days where I didn't want to get out of bed, but I knew I had too. I also knew that Chase would want me to be happy. You know I've learned things happen that are beyond our control, but it's how we deal with it that really counts for something.

Lucas- Your right, Lily needs me more than ever now. I've got to be there for her no matter how hard it is. (It is silent for a few moments and then he finally breaks that silence) You know what I keep thinking about?

Brooke- What?

Lucas- Cancer's a Bitch…..

Brooke can't help but smile because she knows her friend is still in there. She gives him a hug and then walks out of the room. Lucas is still sitting on his bed. He looks up to the sky.

Lucas- I love you mom and I'll never forget you….You taught me everything...I'm gonna miss you forever...

Lucas walks over to his desk and sits the picture next to his computer. He then walks out of the house and shuts his door. Peyton walks in as the door shuts. She sighs and closes her eyes. She then walks out of the room, and now Lucas' room is empty.

Ok so there's the first Chapter I know its not the greatest but I'm learning. Please let me know what you think and if I should continue with this story.
