Lindsay danced around as the music was filling up the building. She didn't care who was watching or who was going to walk in and see her. She felt alive and soon, she would feel the hole in her heart filling again. She danced while she swept the floor and put decorations around the large room. Skills walked into the room, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He stared at the dancing girls, she was so confident in her moves even though she looked like a duck that had only leg. She chuckled a little, enjoying the view. Lindsay turned around, almost jumping out of her skin. She dropped the broom on the ground from being scared to death. She pressed her hand onto her chest, trying to breathe again. She took in a deep breath, grabbing the remote from the bar table. She pressed the stop button and the music stopped. Skills looked around the room, it wasn't bad. They had cleaned the place up nicely. Brooke would love it when she sees it.
"Wh-what-did you see all of that?" Lindsay finally asked. Skills chuckled, nodding his head. Lindsay rolled her eyes and contuined to sweep the floor.
"Yea, what was that called? Dying duck?" Skills asked, walking towards her. Lindsay swallowed. Everytime when Skills was around her, she was seemed to get nervous. Her words will get all twisted up and she didn't know the words that were coming out of her mouth.
"Yea." Lindsay agreed, laughing with Skills. Skills looked around again.
"Where's Lucas?" Skills asked her, Lindsay looked at the door, hoping that he would show up but he seemed a little occupied.
"Probably with Peyton." Lindsay guessed, rolling her eyes.
"I'm sure he's with Brooke." Skills walked over to the bar, looking at the drinks that were on the shelfs. Lindsay turned around, that was worse then hanging out with Peyton. Lucas has more chemisty with Brooke then Peyton.
"Still, he's not with me, you know? I go out of my way to help him with Brooke's birthday party and he doesn't even show up or appreciate it." Lindsay frowned throwing the broom on the floor.
"Alright, the broom did nothing to you." Skills joked, Lindsay placed her hands on her hips. "Listen, if you ask me. All of you deserve better." Skills shrugged his shoulders. That's not what Lindsay wanted to hear from him, she wanted him to tell her to not give up on him and that he would be coming around soon.
"I don't want to hear it." Lindsay walked away from him, picking broom back up and laying it down on the wall. She would soon have to build of the courage.
"Are you in love with him or do you love him?" Skills asked, the obvious question that someone would immediately answer without thinking about but Lindsay thought about it.
"Arent they the same thing?" Lindsay asked him, curious. Skills chuckled, jumping off of the bar table and walked up towards Lindsay. He placed his arms around her, squeezing her tightly.
"Figure out what you want, what's best for you and I don't think that's with Lucas. I'm sorry." Skills said honestly, Lindsay backed away from him. Not listening to his words. She was confused of why he was changing his mind. There was different about everyone because of what was going on.
"Your giving up?" Lindsay asked. Skills looked at the ground, wondering if this was the right choice. This would be good for her. Skills nodded.
"It doesn't mean that you have too-" Skills was trying to tell her.
"I'm not!" Lindsay raised her voice in anger. "I cant believe that you are giving up because...because of what?!" She asked, wanting an honest. Skills licked his lips, not wanting to tell her the truth.
"I don't think he deserves you." Skills said softly.
"Or you think that he deserves to be with Peyton." Lindsay assumed. Skills shook his head.
"Not Peyton." Skills chuckled.
"Then Brooke!" She raised her voice. Skills paused. He felt as though that Brooke was the one for Lucas but it would never happen. It would never happen because the secrets that they kept from each other. It was going to be a huge mess if it was going to be revealed.
"Your a good person, Lindsay." Skills explained. Lindsay had tears in her eyes, she turned around and walked out of the room and that's when Lucas walked in. He watched as Lindsay stormed out with tears in her eyes. Lucas walked in to see what was happening to see Skills standing in the middle of the room with his head hung low.
"What just happened?" Lucas asked, pointing at the door. Skills was frustrated.
"Stop playing games, Lucas. You know why these girls are here and your stalling. Choose." Skills moved past him and ran after Lindsay. Lucas watched as he left, confused at what he was trying to say or what made him say something like that. He was right, Lucas had to choose but he didn't want to. He didn't feel like he wanted to be with either of the girls. Spending time with his best friend, Brooke would just do him good. Maybe even forever.
