A Forgotten Dream [1x1]

[burnham]

Lucas smiled a bit at her, but he knew something was wrong. He would talk about her about it later. He went to the elevator and hopped in, riding it up to the second floor. Most of his classes where on the second floor, just another inconvenience. He saw Sandra and didn't make eye contact with her. "Hey boy," she said, smiling. Lucas didn't bother to look at her, knowing what kind of bully she was. As he hobbled down he hallway, but stopped and tilted his head as he heard what sounded like sobbing. He moved toward the sound, and after a moment he realized it was Tori. "Tori?" he called, pressing his ear to the door of the bathroom.

"Tori, please come out here," he said, his face fallen sad. The bell hadn't rung yet, so he contemplated barging in on her. He had realized that their friendship had been strained since he broke his leg, but he hoped it would get better in time. He took a deep breath and pushed open the door, gasping when he saw her crying. "What's wrong?" he said, his eyes sad.

Tori heard someones voice outside the door. She was unsure to who it was for a moment but then realised it was Lucas. She shook her head not wantin him to come in as she tries to wipe her tears but they continued to fall. She flinched and gasped as he barged inside. Tori turned her head to the side and looks away. She wiped her tears and got up. "Nothing....I'm fine...." she continued to look down. Her wet sticky shirt clung to her and so did the tips of her hair. Tori picks up her stuff fronthe floor and slowly walks pass Lucas.

"Tori!" he called, grabbing her arm before she walked completely out the door. "Listen, I want you too tell me what's wrong," he said, his green eyes filled with sadness, much like they were at the hospital. "You're not fine, I can see it." He pulled her into a hug, leaning up against one of the tiled walls of the bathroom. He didn't care if someone came in, all he cared about was trying to comfort his best friend. He hated to see anyone he cared about like this, and Tori was no exception. One of his crutches fell to the ground but he continued to hold her close to him. He closed his eyes and sighed awaiting for her response.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori gasped as her grabbed her into a hug. Why was he making it so difficult to stop loving him. She looks way with tears streaming down her cheek. "Its nothing....I just don't feel well and I'm going home..."she slowly and carefully release his hug and helps him pick up his crutches. She ran down the stairs and into the parking lot as she went inside her car and begsntocry all over again. Half of her tears was about Sandra, but it was mostly because Lucas didn't feel the same way about her and it pained her to accept that. She knew that it was a one in a million chance to get him to like her.

Tori sat on the chair of her car still crying. It wasn't like there was anyone there to look for her. And her parents didn't even care at all. She grabbed her sweatshirt and outs it on as she starts her car and awaited for it to warm up.

{sorry my posts aren't so substantial. I'm a little tired and sick.)

Lucas sighed as she left and leaned his head against the wall. He wanted to know what was wrong, because it tore at his heart to see her like that. He hopped is way over to his first period, trying his best to get his mind off of Tori. He half heartedly listened to the teacher and all of the other students who insisted on telling him how much they missed him, knowing none of it was true. He sighed in sadness, wishing this day would just be over already.

As the final bell rang, he waited for the rest of the class to leave before he slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed towards the elevator and out the door. He hopped into him mom's car carefully and pulled out his phone. 'I'm coming over, please let me talk to you. he texted to Tori and then looked over to his mother. "Mom, can you drive me to Tori's?" he asked, more of a demand then a question.

As the car pulled up to the mansion Tori lived in, he hopped out and grabbed his bag. "Thanks mom," he said as he maneuvered his way up the front stairs and to the doorway. He rung the doorbell and awaited an answer, praying she would answer.

(It's fine, we all have those days (:)

The butler opens the door and welcomes him. "Lady Vicoria is up in her room. You may enter." he bowed.

Tori lays on her soft, cloudlike bed as she stared blankly at the dark ceiling. She hears the main door opning. Tori then ran out her room and looked down through the stairs. It as Lucas. She knew it was difficult for him to go up the stairs so she ran down the steps towards him. "Come this way..." she said leading him to the living room. She sat onthe couch and looked to the ground," Hungry?" she asked hi. Her heart was beating nervously while her eyes stared to the ground.

"No, I'm fine," Lucas said, looking up to her. "I could see it on your face you weren't just 'feeling sick' today, and I really want to know what's been bugging you." He started, pouring his heart out and not holding anything back. "You have no idea how much I care about you, Tori, and it makes me upset to see you like this." He raised his eyes from the elegant couch to her face, trying to judge her reaction.

Him and Tori had been friends for so long that Lucas knew when something was off about her. He remembered back to the hospital and that night they went out to the courtyard. Ever since then, they had drifted apart and Lucas didn't like it one bit. He snapped back out of his thoughts and returned his attentions back to Tori.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

"I'm fine, I just had a horrible stomach ache that I could help but to cry...." Tori looked away, out the window with White frames. She didn't want to be clowero Lucas anymore. She wasnt going to risk hurting herself.

Her parents mailed her a letter asking her if she wants to move withthem to England. She was unsure of the answer but it wouldn't hurt to get away from Lucas for a while. Just until herfeelings settle down. She noticed that she left the letter her parents gave her on table. She tries to reach for it, hoping that Lucas won't read it. I he finds out, she knew that he'll be against it completely.

Lucas sighed sadly, knowing again that she was lying. "Tori, I know that's not true. I can see it." he said, looking into her eyes. He swallowed the lump forming in his throat and looked back down to the ground. He glanced at the letter for a moment before he looked back up to Tori.

"Remember that night, in the hospital where you wheeled me out into the courtyard and then spent the night?" he asked, not waiting for her response. "Since the surgery, that had been the best night of my life. I miss that, Tori." He gently placed a hand on her knee, still keeping eyes contact with her.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori blushed a little when he mentioned the time she brought him to the courtyard. She blushed even more as he puts his hand on her knee. Scooting to the side she moved away from his touh and looked down to the ground.

"When you were gone, Sandra kelt bullying me, but want to know something? It's pathetic and stupid but I've always liked you. Much more than friends, but don't worry. This won't continue any longer. I'll be moving back England. Thank you for comin over, Sam(the butler) will be escorting you out now...." Tori stood up and ran up the stairs crying as she goes inside her dark room and hide under the silk covers of her bed.
