Either e-mail me or just put it in a review. I don't care which.
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in Yesterday
It was weird. Just a mere week ago, the biggest thing in life was little stuff, like, how were his classmates going to try to torture him. And they left him alone for the most part. Once in a while, when they got bored of picking on all the normal geeks around school, they decided to make Lucas the target of the week. He didn't mind it that much because he knew that he could easily block it out since he had been doing it since that one summer at basketball camp.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh Yesterday came suddenly
He just didn't feel like himself anymore. It was like he had died, but his body was still living.
Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Why did she have to leave him there? What was he supposed to do now? Who was he going to live with? Surely, the state wouldn't let a sixteen year old live by himself. He probably wouldn't be able to anyway. He wouldn't be able to run the café by himself. The café. What was going to happen to it now that she was gone? Who would run it? Would Dave be able to? He had his own work. He was a professor a nearby college. Taught literature. Lucas had always loved being read to by the older man and now loved to read anything he could get his hands on. Would they shut it down? Everything was falling apart.
He tried convincing David to adopt him. All he had said was that he couldn't. The state probably wouldn't let him if he had a father. Unfortunately he did have a 'father.' If there was ever a use for air quotes, they belonged around that word. He'd never even met his father. Dave told him that if his father turned out to be some evil freak of nature or a pervert or something, the state would be more lenient in giving David custody. He wasn't sure if that was true, but he saw the look in the older man's eyes. There was nothing he could do about it and it was killing him. Lucas said that he would give it a shot and David said that he could come back if it ended up being as bad as he thought it would.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in Yesterday
