Comfort came against my will.
Maybe you were ocean
And i was just a stone.
Days Later
Lucas parked his car along the other parents in the car pool lane.
He unlocked the backseat doors and smiled at the sight of Camden entering the car.
"How was school my boy.?" Lucas asked. Generally curious.
"It was boring. Recess and lunch are my favorite subjects. At least you can have fun there. How was you're day dad.?" Camden questioned.
"Eventful and full of loyal customers. I have to stop by the body shop. But first what are you thinking for dinner.?" Lucas asked. As he pulled out of the parking space and began to drive through the familiar streets he had grown up on and knew so well.
...
Awhile Later
The thick aroma of Italian take out food filled the locked parked car.
Lucas used his key to enter the the auto body shop.
Camden raced over to the leftover cars.
"Don't touch anything. Customers will be by to pick up their cars in a few days." Lucas advised.
"What about this one off to the side.? And you never go near it." Camden asked.
Lucas knew what car Camden was referring too. It was Keith's. He had bought it for Lucas. Meant to be a graduation gift.
Lucas found out later on. He had never seen the car fully. It simply remained. Hidden and un used.
Lucas hadn't had the heart to drive it or even look at it.
"Keep you're distance from it especially. It'll be yours when you're old enough." Lucas replied.
...
Brooke felt her body relax as she left Tric. Her entire shift. Peyton had been in a mood. And not wanting to cause a scene. She did what she was supposed to do and nothing more.
Brooke sighed deeply. Stopped walking and looked up. Hearing her name being called.
"Brooke. Peyton hasn't been in contact with me. The past few days."
"Do you know what's going on with her.?" Nathan questioned.
"I don't. Take it up with you're girlfriend. I'm so out of the relationship drama that goes on between the both of you." Brooke stated matter of fact. Before entering her car and driving away.
"Nate. I'm sorry i've been keeping to myself."
"I've just been dealing with some personal stuff." Peyton admitted.
"That's what i'm here for Peyton. You can tell me anything."
Peyton took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." She announced.
Nathan's eyes went wide.
...
"I know you're mom and Keith wouldn't want you to stop living because their lives ended. If anything they would encourage you to stop living in what you can't control. Let go of this guilt and start over." Haley insisted.
"You don't know that. And you've never met Brooke."
"For all you know. My reservations about her make alot of sense."
"I work more then i'm home. I have a kid. A woman like that is going to get tired of not coming in first." Lucas replied.
"She works at Tric alot i've seen her. And she doesn't know Camden exist. You're using him as an excuse." Haley stated matter of fact.
Brooke found herself. In front of Lucas's house.
He had been to her place. But he had never invited her over to his.
She was parked in the street.
"So that explains the random run in at Karen's."
"What the hell are you doing Brooke.?" Nathan exclaimed. Once he walked to the driver's side window.
"Nathan. I don't want to get into it. You aren't open to getting to know Lucas. And i care about him." Brooke admitted.
"You're doing on site charity work. That's nice Brookie."
"How desperate are you.? Once you get that inheritance. Lucas and this side of town will be nothing but a figure of you're imagination. Nathan proclaimed. Before he got back into his own car.
