Episode 2 Chapter 5 Memory Lane

Present Time

Lily is sitting on her couch thinking about the past two years and how so much had changed.

She heard a knock on the door.

"Nathan…what are you doing here?"

"I was just thinking about you and thought that I would stop by. I know yesterday was a pretty hard day for you."

"Yeah it was…I spent most of the afternoon at the graveyard and then I spent a good portion of the night with Graham. It's so strange."

"How are you and Graham? You know I think that he is a good guy." Nathan sat down. Lily sat beside him.

"There is a big elephant in the room."

Nathan looked at her.

"He told me that he loved me about two weeks ago. I didn't say anything and we haven't really gone out since. He didn't push me to say it or anything…but I know that he wanted to hear it back."

"Do you love him?"

Lily looked down and then back at Nathan. "When Spencer died I didn't think that I could ever love anyone again. I mean he was my soul mate. He was the man I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with. And then he died and everything changed. I had to re-evaluate my entire life." She shook her head. "Graham is amazing. He is everything that I want, but if I tell him I love him does that mean that I don't love Spencer. I feel like I am betraying him in some way."

Nathan smiled. "You are not betraying Spencer….I always thought that I was going to spend the rest of my life with Haley…and when she died I was at loss…I didn't know which way to turn…and I obviously chose the wrong path at first…" He sighed. "I never thought that Brooke Davis and I were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together, but now I can't imagine not spending the rest of my life with Brooke. Life is all about taking chances and taking risk. If we just sit back and watch life is going to pass right by us…I know that's not what you want. And it is not what Spencer would want for you."

"I know. I know that. You know for the first year without him I thought that he was going to come back. I could feel him still with me…I didn't feel like he was dead, but I know now that I was in denial. I get that…and I get that he's not coming back. And I know that God puts people in your life for a reason…I know that Graham came into my life for a reason, and I don't want to lose him."

"Then you should go to him and tell him how you feel. Because if you don't then you may lose him…" Nathan hugged her. "You are a very strong woman Lily Scott…You're getting through this like a champ."

"I couldn't have gotten through this without you Nathan…you've been my rock throughout it all…Thank you for that."

"That is what brothers are for."

…

Lily walked up to Graham's house. Nathan had agreed to stay with the kids.

"Hey Lily," he was surprised to see her. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine…" She smiled, "I am better than fine. I'm great."

"That's good."

"I'm great because an amazing man loves me."

Graham smiled. "I thought you didn't want to talk about this."

"I thought that I didn't want to talk about it, but I'm okay with talking about it now." She couldn't stop smiling. "Spencer was the love of my life just like Kelly was the love of yours, but they are both gone. I know that they would both want us to be happy….And maybe they planned this. Maybe they are in heaven and they are smiling down on us now. I don't know why we were brought together, but we were. And this last year you have saved me. You have made me stronger. And for that…For that Graham Kyle I love you. I am in love with you in every way."

Graham smiled, "Really?"

"Yes…I love you. I love you and I love you."

He picked her up and they kissed passionately.

"For the record," he laughed. "I love you too."

She kissed him again.

…

The scene cuts to a man lying in a hospital bed. He has bandages all on his face and machines surrounding him. You can't really see his face…Only his eyes.

A woman with dark black hair is sitting next to his bed.

He starts to move his hands.

"Baby," the girl stands up. "Come on baby…wake up…please wake up…"

He slowly opened his eyes. "Lil…Li…" He tried to speak.

"Yeah sweetheart that's it…I'm right here…You're Lila is right here…" She jumped up and down. "I knew that you would wake up and come back to me."

"Li…Lil…Lil…" He could barely speak.

"Oh I love you so much." Lila touched his hand. "I'm so glad that you are finally awake. You've been sleeping for two years now….I knew you'd come back to me…"

…

Okay so dun, dun, dun. What does that mean?

I have to say that won't be brought up again for a while so you will have to imagine what it means.
