Hello...after what seemed like forever I finally updated this story. Sorry for the delay. I really hope there is still someone out there who's interested in reading this story. :)
The little boy looked around in wonder. When his parents told him they would go camping together he had been so exited.
They had been here for one day now and Logan already had no idea what to do with himself. The problem he had right now was, that Jamie started to play with other kids a few hours ago. He was a social butterfly, someone who was able to get along with everyone. Logan was the complete opposite of him. It wasn't like he didn't WANT to play with other kids. He wanted to. He wanted it so badly, but it was hard because of the experiences he had made with other kids. Other kids who were mean to him, because he was smarter than him. Kids who refused to talk to him, because they thought he was different.
What was he supposed to do now?
"Hey buddy."
Logan turned around and looked at his father who approached him and bent down to pick Logan up, who, much to Lucas suprise, let him. Lucas kissed his boys cheek and looked at all the kids who were playing in the water. With Jamie. Without Logan.
"Why aren't you in the water buddy?" Logans piercing blue eyes stared at the water, but the little boy didn't answer his father. He simply didn't want to. All he wanted right now was to be held by someone. It was strange that he felt so comfortable in his fathers arms. It took him a long time to feel comfortable in any of his parents arms again.
Too much had happened in the past.
Lucas sighed. He always knew that his son was special. Not in a bad way though. It was the others who made it seem like he was strange or different, when in reality he really wasn't, right?
"Do you want some ice-cream Logan?" Lucas hoped that he would find a way to get closer to Logan again, because he had the strange feeling that he started to close up again and that was the last thing he and Brooke wanted.
It really depended on the little boys mood. There were times where he would talk to them like nothing happened and then suddenly it seemed like something clicked in the back of the boys head and he started to distance himself from everyone and don't say one word.
Logan just nodded and Lucas turned around to get some ice-cream for the little boy.
"Did you see this little boy?"
"Huh?"
"The one by the water?"
"Yes. The one with this brillant, beautiful eyes."
"Oh yeah...what's with him?"
"I want him."
"But..."
"No buts. I want him."
"Hey honey."
Brooke, who has spent the last couple of hours in the sun, took her sunglasses off and smiled when she saw her husband and son. Logan, who had an ice-cream in his hand sat down on the towel and licked his ice-cream in silence. Brooke leaned over and kissed her sons cheek, who didn't even look into her direction. Brooke ignored it. She knew better than to be upset about it. She knew that Logan played his own games and that she had to play along when she wanted his trust back. She would do everything for this little boy.
"Hey."
Lucas leaned down and placed a kiss on Brookes lips, before he sat down next to his wife and took her into his arms.
"Where is Stella?"
"Oh Haley has her. She told me that she wanted to spend more time with her favorite niece", Brooke laughed.
Lucas chuckled.
"She's the only niece she has."
Brooke nodded and grinned. That was Haley.
"What did you guys do?"
Lucas sighed and looked at his son who now had finished his ice-cream and played with a spider that crawled up his arm.
Brooke crunched her nose in disgust, but didn't say anything. Her son really didn't need to know that she was afraid of spiders.
"He stood by the river on his own and watched the other kids play."
Brooke had a worried look on her face.
"I really don't know what to do...it seems like he doesn't want to socialize with others anymore."
"Either that or he's just scared that the kids don't want him."
"We need to do something about it. It might effect him when he gets older and I don't want that. I want him to have a normal childhood, like every other kid."
"Maybe we should send him to a school for gifted kids or something. I think letting him skip a class wasn't the right thing to do."
"We will figure something out Brooke. I want him to be happy and it may be a good idea to find something where he gets all the support he needs."
Brooke sighed and nodded, before she ran her hand through her long, brown hair. She wanted her little boy to be happy.
"Mom?"
Brooke looked at her son and smiled.
"Yes baby?"
"Can I go inside? I want to read my book."
Brooke frowned.
"Are you sure honey? It's such a beautiful day."
"Yeah, I'm sure. It's kinda boring today."
"Oh uhm...sure...go ahead. Daddy and me are going to stay here, so if there is anything you want, you will find us here, ok?"
The little boy nodded and left without another word.
Logan was on his way to the carbin. It wasn't far away from where his parents were lying, but it was around the corner. He was suprised when a man and a woman stopped in front of him all of the sudden and looked at him like he was from another planet.
"Hey little guy."
Logan frowned and looked up at the couple who stood in front of him now.
"Uhm...hi?"
"What's your name?"
"Why do you want to know my name?"
"You are such a pretty, little boy aren't you?"
"I'm not allowed to talk to strangers."
The little boy tried to walk around them but the couple was determined to get to know this boy better. Gosh...how they loved this brillant look the boy had on his face.
They wanted him.
A/N: Soooo. What do you think? Please review!
