A Forgotten Dream [1x1]

"I'm great," Lucas responded before he got out of the car. The feeling of walking again was something he had to get used to again, and he tripped going up into the theater. He regained his balance and sighed, knowing that being able to get back the skill ability he had in soccer was going to be a challenge.

He took a glance at the movie showing screen and looked back over to Tori. "Whatever you'd like, I'm flexible," he said, giving her a smile. He wrapped his free arm around her, signaling to the world that Tori was his, and not anyone else's.

Tori looked up at the screening, most of them were old and she's already seen. There is one scary movie she's always wanted to see, but was never brave enough to. She was shocked when Lucas wrapped his arm around her, but she didn't mind.

"I hope you won't mind seeing a scary movie with me?" she looked at him and smiled nervously. Then she bought two tickets for them. Victoria helps Lucas towards the consetion stands as she buys A medium popcorn and two medium soda. She carried the items and walked beside him towards the theatre.

The theatre was empty, it was just the two of them there. Tori sits down on one if the chairs and places their drinks on the cup holders. She placed the popcorn in between them as she ate some. She slowly leaned her head on his shoulder as the trailers began to roll.

"Sounds good," Lucas said as he walked with her to the concession stand and then to the theater. He didn't know why no one else was in the theater but her clearly didn't mind. He smiled when she laid her head on his shoulder and he kept his arm around her through the whole movie. He didn't want her to get too scared, and he leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

Lucas enjoyed being so close to Tori, and he wanted to kick himself for not doing it earlier. He smiled a bit at her throughout the movie, even if the movie wasn't a happy one.

The movie began...for the first half hour, it was calm and quiet. But then a few scary parts happen and Tori flinched and hid on Lucas' chest. Tori felt embarrassed and bit her bottom lip as her eyes fell to the ground. "S-sorry...." she apologises. Not meaning to be so clingy and jumpy on him.

The theater was dark and cold, they were also alone which made Tori's heart beat faster and louder. She was nervous about the movie, but mostly because of Lucas being so close to her. Tori took a sip of her soda and a bite of some popcorn. She rested her hand on her lap as she continued to watch the movie. As his hand rested on her arm, it stung a little.
"O-ouch....."she muttered to herself. Tori took his arm down to her waist, trying to keep her arm from hurting from the cuts she got from Sandra. She tried her best to hide it from Lucas and she hoped that he wouldn't notice.

Lucas moved his hand when she instructed him to but continued to hold her close. He would ask about it later but for now he was content holding her and comforting her. He smiled when she hid in his chest, him being a little scared himself. He wouldn't dare show it though, he wasn't going to start becoming a whimp now. "Don't be sorry, love," he said softly.

As the movie ended and the credits rolled, he looked over to Tori and smiled. "Did ya like it?" he asked still keeping his hand on her waist. He leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the lips, savouring every moment of it. He smiled a bit through the kiss and he hoped she felt it.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

"Yes, it even though I was a wimp." she chuckled. "It was a good story." Tori looked up at him and smiled. Her eyes widen as he leaned in and kissed her. His warm lips was wrapped around hers as her eyes slowly opened. She felt him smile a bit which also made her smiled.

A few seconds later, Tori pulled away and smiled at him. She stood up and threw their trash away as she aided Lucas up. Her cuts were still stinging but she ignored it. She then lead him to her car and drove to her house. She helped him towards the door and into the living room. Tori sat beside Lucas as she angled herself to face him.

"You must miss soccer don't you?...." she asked him as she looked down. He was the best soccer player she knows and yet this terrible accident happened to him. Though he disagrees, she really wishes that it was her with a broken leg. It's not like anyone would worry about her or miss her anyways. And it she wasn't important like Lucas. Tori slowly pulled her sleeves down before they could reveal her cuts.

[burnham]

"So much..." Lucas admitted as he looked up to her with sad eyes. "But, on the bright side I'll be playing in no time," he said with a much more cheery attitude. The team would be starting it's secong indoor season soom, and he wanted to ba able to go to some of the games to support his team. They were his best friends, well besides Tori of course. He noticed she pulled the sleeves down and he wanted to aske her about it.

"What happened to your arms?" he asked, looking into her eyes. "I want the truth, Tori. Did Sandra do something to you?" He looked at her, making sure she told the truth. He knew she was lying most of the time and the mental worrying he did about her was excrusiating. He knew that if she just told him, he could do something about it.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

"It's okay....you have enough to worry about yourself. So make that your first and only priority." she gave him a weak smile and looked away. It wasn't like she wanted to lie to him, but she knew he had more to worry about than a silly little clumsy girl like her.

Victoria wanted to change the subject. Her eyes fell to the ground as they traced the pattern of the rug. "So what are your plans over spring break?" she said as she looked up at him. His leg would've been fully healed by the time Spring break came and he often went to the beach with his soccer buddies, so it wouldn't be a surprise to her if he said that. She wouldnt mind if he went, he deserved it. Especially after all he's been through, at least then he could spend time with his friends and practice some soccer and catch up.

[burnham]

"I worry about you already and it would be a great deal of relief if you would just tell me the truth sometimes" he said, ignoring the converation change for a moment. He wasn't going to let her harbor her problems inside because he knew how much it hurt. He cared about her far more then he cared about himself at this ponit. "You know you can tell me anything," he added.

He then went back to the subject change and shrugged. "Haven't thought that far," he said, looking over to her. He didn't care about where he went and he wanted to spend it with Tori. "I'd rather spend it with you, anyway." he said. His eyes returned to the wall infront of him as he leaned back against the back of the soft couch.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Victoria sighed knowing that she had to tell him thetruth. She slowly folded her sleeves as they revealed the cut on her arms. "I was walking today and Sandra pushed me into the thrones shrub. I guess I was at fault too. She was jealous because you were always with me and she hated it...." Tori looked away with her eyes closed.

As he turned tothe changed subject, she looked up at him. "N-no, you can go and hang out with them...I won't mind at all." she looked at him and smiled. Tori placed her hand on his cheek gently and caressed it with her thumb. She smiled at him sweetly. "Don't worry about me, you need to go and treat youself." she slowly dropped her hand from his cheek to his hand and held it as she laced their fingers together.
