A Forgotten Dream [1x1]

Lucas rolled his eyes playfully as he bit off the roll she didn't take. He then took his diet soda and poured some into a cup with ice and set it aside for Tori. He looked over when she spoke softly, and he let out an exasperated huff."No, don't wish this on yourself," he said. He'd much rather be laying in the bed then see his best friend in it.

Lucas looked at her when she spoke about prom. Yeah, he'd be able to go but he didn't think it was going to be any fun for him. He rolled his eyes when she mentioned Sandra. "Yeah, well if course I'll be the king, but Sandra isn't going to be any sort of royalty." He said, half smiling. He looked back over to her, judging her reaction.

Tori smiled in relief and nodded. The nurse enters the room with a needle and comes in. "It's time to sleep." she said as she went to Lucas and shot the medicine through his arm. Tori smiled and looked at the television and began to watch. "I guess you needto sleep now..." she sighed and continued to sit beside Lucas while watching the tv.

{sorry, writers block }

Lucas winced as the nurse shot some medication up his arm, then looked back over to Tori. "Yeah, I guess," he said, watching as the nurse left. Not really wanting to sleep, he figured he would watch TV for a little. "At least I got a private room," he said, thinking aloud. It would suck to be stuck with some other patient, especially if he was annoying and kept him up all night coughing or wailing.

Looking back to the TV, he glanced at the bench that Tori would sleep on. "You need to get some rest, too," he said. He gave her a smile, eyes brightened after the medication set in. The morphine drip was cut back and he could now feel pain in his leg. Sometimes it was worse than other times, but he decided to suck it up and deal with it.

Tori looked at Lucas and noticed that the medication kicked in. He looked do peaceful sleepIng. She smiled and stood up from her chair. She bite her bottom lip in nervousness as she slowly leaned in and kissed his cheek. Her face flushed red as she smiled knowing he would never know anything about this. TOri the. Sat back down and rested her head on his bed beside him. She slowly fell asleep without realizing it.

Lucas drifted off to sleep, but could somehow feel that Tori didn't go lay on the bench. He didn't care that much though, but the feeling of not being able to move was getting on his nerves. Occasional leg cramps and joint pain accompanied the brace, and not being able to walk was the worst of it. His sleep was peaceful, refilling his energy.

Awaking the next morning to the sun on his face, he looked over and saw Tori beside him. He smiled a bit to himself and didn't dare wake her. Loving the fact she cared about him enough to stay the night, he smiled and figured what great a friend he had. He checked his phone and he had a text from Tim, his other center forward. He read it to himself, "Hey, bro. I'm going to come up to see you today. What room are ya in?" Lucas texted a quick "249, see you soon." to him, and placed his phone next to his pillow.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori slowly woke up and looked over to Lucas. "Hey, Good morning...." she smiled and stretched her arms out. "I probably look horrible, I should go home...." she looked down and picked up her bag as she gave him a hug and left.

"Hey," he called when she went to walk out the door. "Can you bring your princess some books? Or a coloring book and some crayons?" he asked, smiling at her. He needed something to do during the day when everyone was at school, where he should be. He ate the breakfast that was brought in, skipping over the oatmeal.

A while after Tori left, Tim walked in with a horrified look on his face. "Hey," Tim muttered, swallowing hard.
"Sup man, how are you?" Lucas said, smiling.
"G-good, I guess. How a-are you?" he said.
"I'm great," said Lucas, beaming. "You wanna see my x-rays?" He leaned down and grabbed the large manila folder that contained the prints from his leg. He pulled one out, holding it up to the light. "See?" he said, still smiling.
"I-I think I'm gonna be sick," Tim said, his face pale.
"Fine, I'll put them away," he said, shoving the print back into the folder. He wondered to himself when Tori would be back. "Have a seat," he offered to Tim, motioning towards the chair.

Tori turned around hoping that he would tell her to stay, but she got nothing more than just an order. She gets home as she goes in the shower then changes. She was unsure whether to go back or not. She got in her car and drove to the store to buy some crayons and coloring books. She drove to the hospital and went inside Laucas' room. "Here you go...." she said in a sad tone as she puts it down on the table. "Text me if you need anything else...." Tori then left his room and never came back unless he texted her for something. She knew that her secret love for him was nothing. It was going anywhere and there's no point in hurting herself by trying to be there.

(can we do a time lapse where he gets on crutches and is able to go to school again?"

[burnham]

(Sure thing.)

Lucas winced a bit in pain as he hopped out of his mother's car. She let out a sigh, and then said, "Bye." He rolled his eyes, knowing that his mother just saw him as a inconvenience, now that he couldn't ride the bus and had to be driven everywhere. He maneuvered himself carefully to the front of the school, waiting for Tori. He missed being pushed around in the wheel chair but he was also glad he was back at home. He wore a large black brace boot, not being able to put weight on it unless he was at physical therapy. He had to go every day except for Tuesdays, which he was alright with.

Lucas saw Tori and smiled. He waved and called over to her. "Good morning!" he said, trying his best to hobble over to her. A lot of people had come up to him saying things like, 'Glad your back!' or 'Feeling better?' He knew he would get many repetitive questions, and it would get on his nerves eventually. He smiled again at Tori as he hopped over to her.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori smiled weakly, "Good morning...." she said bluntly. After the realisation of their relationship not exceding friendship, Tori grew distant from Lucas. As much as it pained her, it was for the best. Maybe this way she could learn to like someone else. Her avoiding him wasn't going to last long, just until her feelings for him lowers down to the same way he feels.

Tori waiting for Lucas before she cotinued to walk. She carried her books while she carried her bag over her shoulder. "Well, I have to go to class now....I'll see you around..." she waved goodbye and walked up the stairs. It wasn't really time for her class just yet, but it pained to be so close to him and have him treat her just like everyone else. As Tori approached the top step, Sandra stood there. She didn't know that Lucas has returned, but it wasn't like he could help her anyways. Sandra was drinking some orange juice until she throws half the bottle at Tori. Her whole shirt and the tips of her hair became wet and sticky. Tori ran into the girls bathroom crying as she goes inthe stall and sat down as she continued to cry. Shed had enough of Sandra but she wasn't the type to tell or revenge so all she could dO was cry.
