"This all happened the year you left?" Zay says trying to wrap his mind around what he was just told
Lucas sighs as he looks down in shame "since I found out about Hope"
"Are you kidding me?!" Zay says looking at him In shock
"No.. Zay I'm not! Do you really think I would make it up" Lucas hiss as he looks up at him
"How? I can't,... how the fuck didn't we notice" Zay hisses glaring at him
"I cleaned it up.. Nobody else could know Zay" Lucas says looking down
"Who the hell knows?" Zay says as he moves closer to Lucas
"That's not important" Lucas says shaking his head
"Not important!? How are you going to say no one else can know, and not tell me who knows? hmm? Explain that" zay shouts as he looks down at Lucas
"It's how thing are Zay! That's how they're going to stay" Lucas says griping his hands
"Are you forgetting I'm your best friend? The guy who lived down the street from you! We tell each other everything! I'm your best friend" zay yells as he gestures to him elf glaring at Lucas
"Best friend! Best friend?! you left me! You thought i was some ass without even asking" Lucas yells as he stand up
"DAM right I did! You left without tell me! You ignored my calls for month! You left first! Don't blame me for who I trusted. You left that poor girl" zay hisses as he points to Lucas
"It was for her own good" Lucas whispers as he looks down
"Was it? Or was it for your good Lucas" zay says as he looks at him
Lucas looks down as he shakes his head
"I couldn't be anywhere near her zay.. it wasn't safe" Lucas says as his eyes begin to water
"And living in Texas was safe? Being alone was safe?' zay says as he sits across from him
" I was 19! That was the best I could do zay. I needed both of them safe and with what happened that couldn't be" Lucas says as he glares at zay
"You had friends here Lucas. Real friends. Friends listen, we would have listened to you " zay whispers looking down
"Not when you guys could have been hurt. This was on me and only me.. i did this" Lucas shouts as his eyes begin to water
"When are you going to tell her?" zay says looking at him
"I'm not" Lucas days wiping his eyes
"Are you kidding me? She needs to know Lucas" zay says
"No she doesn't. I rather her hate me this way then, if she found out the truth" Lucas says as he stand up
"She could have understood" zay says as he follows him
"No she could zay and don't say she would because we both know Riley wouldn't let it go" Lucas says as he grabs his things
"Where are you going?" zay says
"I'm going to visit someone" Lucas says as he walks out the door
Zay sighs as he walks to the couch and falls on it
"Universe what's your lesson here?"
"Lucas, it's been awhile"
Lucas sighs as he looks up at the women with bright blue eyes and dark hair
"Can I come in" he whispers
The women smiles as she steps aside letting him in..
