Contemplation
Chapter
Revelation
AN: My idea might not seem that much original, what is in fan fiction any more? Hopefully, through out the story you come to find that it's more intriguing. Review…

April 5th
Honesty is a quality that mostly everybody tends to lack, either because they fear others to know of the truth or just as a cover up for selfish reasons. I came to realize the difference between a lie and being deceitful. A lie could be for the better, where deceit is plain treacherous. Although, the highest level of deceit is of yourself, lying to yourself that everything is going to be all right and you know that is not entirely true. Revelation is honesty of your inner emotions and no longer sustaining the temporary scorn.

"What's this all about?" Nathan grabbed Haley's hand and led her over to the couch.
"I don't know," she looked over to Lucas entering the room and nodded, "but we'll find out."
"What's going on? Why are we here Luke?" Nathan looked curiously at his older brother.
The eldest sighed, looking from Haley and back to his brother with pleading eyes. "Listen… I know that I've been acting different lately and I want you to know why."
"Luke, is this about the scene from two weeks ago?" Haley frowned slightly, "Because if it is you shouldn't be worried, I've seen you in your under wear countless times."
Nathan now turned his attention to his blabbering girlfriend, "You have?"
Her cheeks blushed slightly, "Is it?" she asked, turning back to Lucas.
He chuckled dryly, "I wish it was Hales, I wish it was."
"Well then what is it?" Nathan arched his eyebrow, looking back at his girlfriend before saying, "If it isn't my girlfriend seeing you countless times naked?"
"I wasn't naked, besides I didn't even remember that." He smiled softly, ignoring the glare he received from his brother. Jealousy never fades, he thought with a sigh. "I don't want you to make a big deal of this, but I have a liver disease. My doctors claimed to have no idea how they missed it, but apparently I'm having liver failure." He blew out a breath of air, leading himself to sit down on the chair and watching blank stares from the other side of the room.
Anger seeped through her features and she stood up in a huff. "Don't make too big of a deal of this? Are you crazy?" She sighed, a sarcastic yet bitter smile forming on her lips. "Oh it's official the eldest Scott brother has gone over the edge." Unexpectedly tears started to sting at her eyes and she sat back down before she fell unconscious.
"Are you serious?" was all that Nathan could spit out.
Lucas exhaled sharply, walking over to Haley and standing before her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up, into a strong embrace.
Nathan watched, astonished as his girlfriend's body started to tremble in sobs; watched as his brother's eyes welled up with tears and he couldn't wrap his mind around it. Lucas was only eighteen, eighteen; he thought.
"You're selfish," she cried, "why didn't you tell me?" Another set of violent tears hit her body and she pulled him tighter into her. "Why are you so selfish?"
He held her closely, hushing her and kissing her forehead as the tears undoubtedly fell. Remembering exactly why he didn't want to tell her in the first place.

"Mom, what did he do to deserve this?" he crossed the room, tracing the same path for a while.
"It's sad," Deb fought the tears in her eyes. "What did Karen think?"
"I don't know," Nathan sighed, sitting down on a chair. "He's so young and how could the doctors miss it?"
"Well," Deb bit her lip, "Sometimes things like this happen and his liver isn't fully failed yet, right?"
He glanced at her, quickly looking elsewhere. "Not yet," he replied finally. "Haley's torn apart."
"I bet she is," his mother frowned, "You look it too."
He just softly gave a nod, looking up at the person who brought him into this world.
"They want to test certain people for the family and close friends, something about surgery for his liver. If there's a match for Lucas, they want to do surgery to take half of the donors liver and give it to Luke." He sighed heavily, "That's if they find a match and they said it's a dangerous surgery."
"Well, then there's still hope."
He forced a small smile, letting it drift away with worried eyes. "What if the doctors can't help him?"
She looked at her son, immediately noticing the silent tears forming in his eyes.
"What's going to happen?" his voice cracked.
His mother frowned once more, sympathy in her eyes. She walked quickly to her son and brought him in her arms. "It's okay to cry," she reassured him, bringing his chin up with her finger.

Some people hide their selves, but eventually they end up hiding from life. They claim it's order for them to survive temporary insanity around them, but I think otherwise; I think it's because they don't want any one to know that deep down inside they feel pain just like everyone else.

Did it suck? I know it was short, what's new. Yes, it was pretty predictable, but I have a lot of ideas and again I say, what isn't predicable any more? REVIEW!
