Chapter 3
Lucas sat out on the balcony, looking out over the ocean. This is home Lucas let out a long sigh, knowing that he was just lieing to himself . No matter how many times he said it to himself, he still couldn't belive it. Lucas got out of his seat and walked into the apartment that was still littered with boxes, even after two and a half months. Lucas heard the now familiar sound of Keith's keys rattleing in the door. He walked over and opened it for him, knowing that letting Keith do it himself would've taken too long.
"Hey. I didn't know you were gonna be home." Keith walked in and made his way into the kitchen and placed a box on the counter and Lucas followed him into the kitchen, hands placed in his pockets. Lucas just shrugged.
"Where would I be?" Keith looked over at his nephew. Keith knew Luke wasn't adjusting well.
"I thought, maybe you'd be out, playing baseket ball or seeing a movie. Something." Keith looked over at Lucas, his eyes filled with love and concern.
"Nah. I figured I'd finally finish unpacking,and get settled in." Lucas said jokeingly, he walked over to the fridge and pulled out a a bottle of water "You want one?"
"No Thanks. You want to order a pizza for dinner?" Keith sat down and pulled out a phone book and began to look through the menu section.
"Ehh...I could go for some Chinese but Pizza's good too." Lucas said just before exiting the kitchen. Lucas walked down the hall towards his room stopping to read the labels on the boxes along the way. When he hadn't seen the one he was looking for he turned around and walked back to the kitchen. "Hey Keith. Have you seen the box labled 'Photos'?"
"I think I put it in your room, somewhere by the closet" Keith looked up form the phonebook and thought about it for another second. "Actually, I'm pretty sure it's in your closet."
"Thanks" Lucas agian walked towards his room. The first thing he did was go to the closet. Inside there were boxes stacked, of course none of the labels were faceing him so he had to move each one, until he found what he was looking for.
Lucas set it down on the bed and slowly opened the top. Lucas looked down to find Haley stareing straight back at him. He pulled out the picture of him and his best friend and placed it on the table next to his bed. Next to the three other pictures, all of which had Haley in them. Lucas let out a sigh, turned on the radio and let the sound fill the room. Normally he would've changed the pop music that came over the speakers, but he couldn't, the song just hit to close to home. Lucas walked over and flopped down on his bed, and closed his eyes, takeing in the lyrics of the song.
Two Days, chasing me around.
I go crazy when your outside of my world.
When your outside of my world
No sound is singing me to sleep
I don't want the room to breath.
Just be with me, just be with me
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone
I feel the same thing always happens when your gone
I know you're just aroung the corner, just around the corner
Just around and I know, yes I know
My eyes are waiting at the door.
just like everythime before time flies so slow, time flies so slow
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you gone
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
I know you're just around the corner, just around the corner
I know...ahh yes I know...I don't know, why is that I know I miss you all the time,
And I know you kinda like it.
When you go, I feel 40 kids of sadness
I feel the same thing always happens when your gone
I know you're just aroung the corner, just around the corner.
As the song faded out Lucas let out a breath, he hadn't relized he was even holding. He turned and looked at the picture on his bedside table. "If only you were still just around the corner." Lucas examined each picture closely. He picked up the one of Him, Haley, Keith and Karen all standing in front of the cafe. They all looked so happy. If only he could get back to normal.
Lucas was suddenly ripped from his deep thoughs when Keith cleared his throat. Lucas looked over at his uncle, who was standing in the doorway.
"Were you just talking to yourself?" Keith smirked.
"Yeah, someting like that." Lucas sat up and ran his fingers over his freshly cut hair.
"Luke, I knida have some news." Keith looked around the room akwardly "I'm not realy sure if you'll think it's good news or bad news, I'm kind of hopeing you'll think it's good news though."
"What is it, Keith?" Before Keith could even get another sentence out, Karen appeared in the doorway, and she slipped her hand into Keith's and gave what appeared to be a reassuring squeeze. Confusion and smile crossed Luke's face. "Huh. Anyone gonna tell me what;s going on or are we all just going to stand around looking at each other."
Keith cleared his throat and Karen just stood there smiling, looking up at him. Lucas couldn't help but smile at Keith who was still trying to think of the right thing to say. Lucas already had a good idea of what was going to be said but he still wanted to here them say it. Finally Keith spoke up.
"Before we left I asked your mom to marry me. And she said no at first..." Karen inturrupted
"I was nervous, but I finally relized how much I love, want and need Keith in my life. I came here to tell him that. And he took me back." The two adults looked at Luke waiting to here his response.
"You guys that's great! I'm so happy for the two of you." Lucas got up from his position on the bed and hugged both of them.
"You relized this means we'll be going back to Tree Hill, right?"
What'd you all think? Reveiw PLEASE!
