Author's Note 1:

Note:

Hey everyone, this is Lucas Scott 22 3 speaking to you. I figured I might as well clear the air about a couple of things. I hope you all are enjoying the story. These author's notes will come periodically, whenever I feel the need to tell my readers about things. I have to say thanks to everyone for reading my story. This is the second longest story on my profile so far, the first being Twice Tragic, Thrice Magic. This one will probably end up being at least twice as long. I'm at ten chapters right now and nowhere close to being finished.

So, once again, thanks for every review, comment, question, and overall thoughts about this story. The next chapter will be posted within a few hours, so stay tuned if I have not already posted it by the time you read this.

The Scoop

Okay, so that last chapter didn't have a lot happening in it. I was starting a couple of new story lines and wanted to get them going. First of all, the obvious one, is that this is giong to be a LEYTON story. There might end up a couple of Brucas chapters, but I'm not giving away any spoilers about that at this point. The formal will be a Leyton formal. Second of all, Basketball is going to end up in this story after all. I'm beginning to see why Mark Schwan used it so much in the actual One Tree Hill series. The big question for that right now is will Lucas be on the team?? The answer will come within the next couple of chapters, I promise. Third of all, Keith and Lucas will have a big huge talk coming up and they will resolve a lot. Where I'll go from there, I have somewhat of a clue. Fourth of all, like I promised, this story will contain some more overdosing, though I'm thinking I'm going to change the title and plot of this story. I think this is going to end up being a what-if story. I think it might work out better than the first plot. Sorry, to all those who hoped and dreamed that this would be an all dramatic and angsty story. It will still contain lots of drama and lots and lots of angst because that's the way I write. :-). Okay, so now, finally, I would like to add that Nathan and Lucas will end up being pretty close for about the next ten chapters, before they have another fight. That fight will be pretty huge and result in one of them leaving, possibly forever. I'm working towards that point with the current plot lines that I put into play with the previous chapter.

Comments and Concerns:

Now, I would like to address a few questions and comments that my best friend, Stormstar, brought up. She told me this story was confusing. I would like to say, I'm sorry for that. I've just had a lot of ideas and am trying to get them all down before I forget them. She also told me there was no way possible for a guy who had just overdsoed to be up and walking around like he had been. I know that, but I'm trying to potray Lucas as a stronger person than he realizes. I hope that worked out all right and nobody's going to give up on this story on account of it being fake. Thirdly, she said that some of the story lines didn't exactly flow together. I told her the same thing I'm about to tell you. This story isn't going to be perfect, and I know that some of the plot-lines don't flow together, but I'm working on fixing that. And, I know that Lucas is supposed to be all depressed and everything, but that mood change is going to be apart of a plot line I will reveal later. I'm not into handing out secrets about further chapters, just incase I change my mind about something later on.

Songs:

I only had one song throughout the entire story so far. That was Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World. It was to signfy the actions Lucas was about to take.

Questions:

And now, for a couple of questions I would like to ask the readers for their opinion on. Respond by review or by PM please.

1. Does everyone like the Leyton and Naley plot lines in this story?

2. What should Keith's real story be?

3. What type of person should Dan be? A good one, a bad one, or a mix of both?

4. If Lucas rejoins the basektball team, what number should he be?

5. Should I add some lyrics to the chapters or do you all like them enough without them?

6. Should Deb and Dan split up?

7. Should Keith and Deb get together and then get married?

8. Should Haley and Nathan get married? Lucas and Peyton?

9. Do you, as a reader, think that either Peyton, Haley, or Deb should get pregnant at any time during the entire story?

10. If I change the plot and title, what should the new title be?

11. What is your opinion of the story so far.

Answer honestly. Don't care about my feelings. They aren't important in this story anyways. So tell me what you want based on the questions above and I'll do my best to go with the way everyone wants.
