A Forgotten Dream [1x1]

"Well, I couldn't feel it a second ago," Lucas said smiling, referring to the time when he kissed her. "But really, it's not too bad. The pain meds have been helping," he added. He looked down at her, shaking his head. "No, you don't wish this," he said. "Anyways, it doesn't matter because I have a great best friend to take care of me." He squeezed her hand gently, almost a sign to let her know she was still in reality.

He reflected back on what she said about Sandra. He knew as soon as he was able to walk again he would beat that girl in the face for all the torture he caused his best friend. He would be sure to let Tori know but he was enjoying this moment between the two of them and didn't want to ruin it.

It affected Tori that Lucas said best friend. It also confused her, but she shrugged the thought off and took her hand away from Lucas'. She got up from the bed and stood up looking down.

She knew that the only reason he kissed her way because he felt bad that she confessed to him. Lucas was a sweet guy and he wouldn't want to hurt a girl, especially Tori. "You're not obligated into liking me back the same way....I'll stay even if we just stay friends....I bet your moms worried...and it's quite late, so you should head home and rest your leg...." her eyes were glued to theground, but halfly towards Lucas. She was still confused to whether he loved her because he feels the same way or because he felt bad that she confessed to him. But either way, Tori knew by heart that Lucas only loved her as his best friend.

"But, I don't want to leave," he said, almost sounding like a little kid. "And I do like you back the same way, Tori, I just don't know how to show it. Remember that day in the courtyard? That was when I knew. I knew I needed to be with you, and this thing doesn't help with that." he continued, looking down to his leg. "And when we drifted apart, it killed me inside," said Lucas, another tear forming in his eye.

He knew what he said was the truth , and he just wished Tori would believe him when he said it. His eyes returned back to the ground, only to look up at her again, green eyes radiating with sadness. "I love you, truly, with all of my heart," he said, softly.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori looked at him and saw the tears that formed on his eyes. "Hey, sweetie- I mean Lucas, don't cry...." she sat in front of him and pulled him into a hug. She closed her eyes as she felt her heart beat with his. She blushed when he mentioned the courtyard and the way he feels about her.

Tori slowly release her hug and looked at him as she places her hands on his cheeks as she wipes his years and kisses his cheek. "Please don't cry anymore....It's painful to see you this way..." she looked deeply into his green eyes with sadness.

"Y-you can stay the night if you want...." she blushed looking down. She knew it was a long shot and he would probably say no but she just didn't want him to tire himself with his broken leg. He's suppose to be at home resting, not here worrying about her.

"I'd love to," Lucas said, smiling at Tori. He didn't know how she would react to him staying but he didn't care much. He really didn't want to walk back down the stairs till the morning, so he figured staying the night would be the best thing. He also wanted to spend more time with her, the more time he spent with her the more she grew on him.

"I'll sleep on the floor, if you want," he said, looking up to her. He smiled a bit, leaning to kiss her cheek. He was just relieved she wasn't moving across the ocean, because there wouldn't of been a way to go with her. "And stop blushing," he said playfully, kissing the opposite cheek.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori smiled and nodded as he mentioned about him staying. "No, your leg is broken and sleeping onthe floor would make that quite difficult. This is a king bed so you cen sleep here and I can sleep on one of the other rooms. Just call me if you need anything." Tori stood up from the bed and leaned down to kiss his cheek. "Good night..." she spoke softly as she slowly moved away from him and makes her way out the door.

"Why do you never insist on saying with me?" He asked, not trying to be mean or anything. He gave her a smile, and then said, "Come back, a kiss on the cheek isn't satisfactory enough for me." He stood up, rocking on the back of his boot. He held his arms out for a hug, wanting to hold her close. Tori was like a drug to him, and Lucas couldn't get enough of it.

He would have gladly slept on the floor if It ment Tori would stay with him. He wasn't the clingy type, but having someone love him was a new feeling to him and he wanted to soak it all it. Lucas gave her another smile, looking Into her beautiful eyes.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori bit her bottom lip and looked at his embarrassed and shy. "Wouls you like a hug too? I'll stay here until you fall asleep, will that be good?" she smiled and kissed his nose. She placed his arm around her shoulder as she brings him to the bed. It was good that he kept walking on his leg and it makes Tori worried.

She makes him lay down on the bed gently. She grabbed a big pillow and placed it underneath his leg for support. She then placed the shees over his body until his waist as sits beside him and kisses his cheek again. "Good night, Lucas.....sleep well..." she mailed and caressed his cheek and kisses his forehead.

"No, I want you to stay till tomorrow morning," he said, trying to be a cute as possible. He moved his hand to the back of her neck and pulled her in for a kiss on the lips. He closed his eyes and savored the warmth she provided and the taste of her on his lips. Truthfully, if he could, Lucas wouldn't let go. He'd love to be able to stay with her twenty four seven, but of course that wasn't possible.

He finally let go and smiled a bit at her, placing his forehead against hers. He wanted to ease into the relationship, halfway because he really didn't know what he was doing. He closed his eyes for a second, taking her all in.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Victoria smiled at how cute Lucas looked. Her eyes widen as he pulled her in for a kiss. They slowly closed as she felt his warm lips against her. She could taste him at the tip of her tongue. Tori waviest the moment until he pulled away. She wanted more, but she looked down embarrassed.

Their foreheads were touching and Tori slowly looked up into Lucas' eyes as she smiles sweetly and kisses him gently. She closed her eyes and placed his head on her chest. "Rest now..you need it." she said demandingly but in a joking way at the same time. She closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his shoulder.
