Okay, extremely short update but ta dah, it's not much point really...
I haven't written in soooo long and I apologize for that greatly.
I went away all summer to an Island, and didn't have internet so that kind of sucked.
Anyway here it is.
Lucas very well knew that his daughter was right. He had continued to play basketball, run around with his friends and act stupid at that age. Why should his daughter have to miss out on her life? Because she could easily die, he reminded himself. Why was being a parent so hard? He'd only been doing to a short period of time now. How could anyone do this for a lifetime? He now fully understood how his mother had felt all those years ago, when she was trying to handle the same scenario. He figured he would have to take it day by day and pray like hell that October would live a long full and happy life, the one she deserved.
A few days later, October was laying in bed at home, "taking it easy" as so many people had advised her to do. Quiet frankly this taking it easy business was very very dull.
Her friends had left the morning beforehand and she already missed them like crazy. The house was also oddly quiet with only her mother and herself walking around. Her father had come over for dinner since October had been home, and it was quite awkward. It was taking some time to get used to her parents flirtatiously looking at each other over their gourmet kraft dinner supper's. Lucas was again at dinner that night. Lucas and Brooke were...hanging out in Brooke's room if you could call it hanging out...
October wished desperately that she had temporarily loss her sense of hearing as Brooke burst into another fit of giggles.
"I love you pretty girl," October could hear Lucas say.
October swore she threw up a little bit in her mouth. Looking for a distraction, any distraction, she flicked on the television.
October sat up when she suddenly heard the phone by her bed ring loudly.
"Hello?" she heard a quiet voice say on the other line.
"Um, hello.." October replied, "Who's this?"
"This is Katie," the girl replied, "I'm helping to organize the soccer team this year, assistant manager. I was told you would be interested in playing, and was wondering if you'd like to join the team."
"Yes I would!" October said excitedly, ignoring that her parents would probably greatly disapprove.
"Okay, great!" Katie said happily. October could tell she was nervous.
"Katie?" October asked.
"Yeah?" Katie replied.
"What grade are you in, I haven't met you yet so I was wondering if you were in any of my classes. It'd be nice to know some of the people on the team you know," October said smiling with excitement.
"I'm a year younger than you are, but how about we meet at lunch and we can talk then?" Katie said, clearly hoping for a yes.
"Sounds great!" October said, "I'll see you in the cafeteria!"
After hanging up with Katie, October ran excitedly down the hall, screaming with joy. Sshe didn't care if she was interrupting her parents bonding session.
"What's going on?" Brooke asked, poking her head out from her bedroom door.
"I'm on the soccer team, and I'm going over to Lilly's house. Bye!" October shouted as she shoved her feet into her shoes.
"'What was that all about?" Lucas asked.
"She's on the soccer team and she's going to Lilly's," Brooke said, "I'm guessing she's done with her calm and quiet relaxing time."
"Well I guess it's time for ours," Lucas grinned.
"Oh believe me, this isn't going to be calm or relaxing," Brooke smirked.
"I'm quiet okay with that," Lucas replied.
