Well, first of all, I don't own anything that has to do with One Tree Hill. I'm just borrowing the characters and some of the storylines to create my own story!
Secondly, I am going to continue The Things That Move Us I PROMISE! I'm just having some writer's block with it at the moment. I'm not abandoning it though, I want you guys to know.
Lastly, this new story is set after Lucas has just returned to Tree Hill. There will be differences however. I don't want to reveal them now though. As the story progresses if there's something that needs clarification for you to understand it of course I will explain where I think I'm going with this.
And of course, as always, please review. Your comments mean so much to me as a writer. Without words of encouragement, it's hard to find the motivation. Thank you!
Prologue
Blonde hair whips around a pale face, wild and impossibly curly. Mysterious eyes flick from place to place, a sketchpad resting on her knees. Her fingers grip a charcoal pencil; a small frown plays across her features. What causes that frown? Is it from concentrating or because she's unhappy? He wouldn't know anymore. She stops. There is a blank look in her eyes. Slowly she leans her head back against the brick wall, not caring that strands of her hair will stick to it. He sees her take a deep breath as her lids close. She is beautiful. She is sadness. Apparently having lost her inspiration, she raises a finger to scratch her cheek. Turning her head, she sees him staring at her. A small smile tugs at the corner of her mouth, daring to betray her feelings. She quickly buries it, replacing it with her trademark scowl and gathers her things. Secretly she is happy to see his interest. Outwardly she wants nothing to do with him. He sighs as he watches her walk away. She is beautiful. She is sadness. She has slipped through his fingers. This is the way he sees her.
