Who: Lucas Scott and Layla Williams
When: Day 30 late evening.
What: Lucas Scott and Layla Williams meet.
Rating: Probably PG just to be safe.
Status: Complete.

Lucas had spend some time in the library and was now taking a walk around the place. He was hoping to find some way to get back to Gilmore. He didn't think he would but he hoped he figured that he should at least try.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked down by the lake. He looked out on the lake and watched the waves lap for a few moments.

	"You are wanted and sexy. And it is understandable that you'd be scared. Taken to a strange new place and then things moving pretty fast with us. And we are more than friends, I hope. And we are in unknown territory. I don't hate you Layla. You make perfect sense." He smiled warmly at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"OK. But that doesn't answer a lot of questions for me. I mean, how are you feeling? What are you feeling? What about your heart, right...you told me you had that issue. Doesn't it take doctor's appointments and medications? I really need for you to have a dialogue with you. More then being wanted and sexy, I need to know that I am a safety net, a friend, a confidant. My best friends are gone, they know me inside and out...all my intimacies and now poof, it is gone."

"I am feeling pretty freaked. I mean, I don't think it has fully sunk in yet. I feel like maybe this is all some crazy dream and the only good part of it is you."

"HCM," he said when she mentioned the issue with his heart.

"Yeah, I need meds for it."

"I am sorry that all your intimacies are gone and your best friends are gone. I know that I could never possibly make up for them but you have me, and I hope I have you too. I am here for you."

	Layla gaped at him when he said the last sentence. "Are you out of your mind? How could you say that? You are wonderful and I am sure that you can, but that means talking, as well as, you know?" Layla blushed hard then, covering her face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you," he said. "Yes, it does mean talking. So, you want to get to know me better? Ask me anything and I'll answer honestly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Golly, I really don't like that kind of dialogue, I mean...how can I know what to ask? Who to ask about, when, where...you know? What brought you to basketball? I mean from when you were younger up until you became a coach. I'll listen to it all." Layla said softly and warm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"My Uncle Keith, he's the one who brought me to it. I used to play when I was younger but I stopped. I told my mom it was because I didn't want to see my Dad but honestly, I didn't want her to have to. So my Uncle Keith told the coach in the school to check me out at the Rivercourt. He said he wanted me to know that I was good and to feel that I belonged. Nathan wasn't happy about it and we played one-on-one for my spot on the team. I won and I joined the team. They put me through some hazing. Like I mentioned with the basketballs. They also kidnapped me, tied my hands behind my back and threw me into muddy water in the middle of nowhere, other stuff like that. Then Haley started to tutor Nathan and he eased up on me. Then rest of the team eased up on me after I was in a car accident. Then I learned I had HCM and the meds started to slow me down as I wasn't playing as well. I did something silly then and stopped taking my meds so they wouldn't slow me down. After Keith died.... I told my mom and my coach about my heart condition and stopped playing. I really missed it. So my mom looked into it and found out I could play for 15 minutes a game. So I did and we got to the state championship. Nathan borrowed money from a loan shark and was asked to lose the state championship. So Skillz and I tried to freeze him out. I.... I didn't take my meds before the game. Stupid, I know. We ended up winning after Nathan found out he was having a son. After, the load shark knocked down Haley. I saw her and dialed 911 and I had a heart attack. A couple of days later I woke up. Nathan later confessed to the point shaving and lost his scholarship to Duke. So Whitey offered him a spot in Gilmore and he offered me the the spot of assistant coach. And the rest I guess you know."

Layla listened intently, each word got more and more under her skin. Her eyes were shiny and the tears were there, about to spill. At the mention of the kidnapping, her face turned angry and scared, but when he mentioned the car accident and a heart attack, her lower lip began to wibble. Layla threw her arms around his neck and held him hard enough that he probably couldn't breath. "Oh god, oh my god...Oh...Oh, I am so sorry. Oh, Oh golly."

Layla nuzzled her head against his, her tears splashing on his neck. She had no clue that she had him in a stranglehold.

	He gagged a little, not really able to breath since she had him in a stranglehold. "It's OK," he managed to gasp out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laylawilliams 2009-02-01 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	"No, it isn't...I almost lost you before I met you." She continued with the stranglehold, not realizing it. "How could I lose you, before you came here? I am so sorry. I will do anything, anything I can to help you! I promise. Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." She said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There is something you could do for me right now. Would it be alright if you loosen your grip just a little?" he asked, not wanting to scare her off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What? Oh, OH GODS, I am so sorry. Are you OK?" She pulled all the way back to look at him, her face looked stunned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, yes I'm fine," he said. "C'mere," he said wrapping his arms around her and hugging her to him. "You didn't lose me. I'm right here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Layla looked dumbfounded then, she felt so lost. "I'm sorry." Layla said whisper soft. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, no reason to be sorry," he said rubbing her back soothingly. "You OK?" he asked softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laylawilliams 2009-02-01 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	"OK." She said dully, when he asked if she was OK, she shook her head no, but said, "yeah." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I hadn't said you weren't being helpful. It's just..." Layla slid out of his lap and lay back on the couch. "I am all right, so let me know if you need anything?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The moment she slid out of his lap he knew he'd messed things up. "I know that you ever said that," he said softly. "All I need right now is you. Your presence." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm right here. Not going to go anywhere." Layla took a small sip of her cold cocoa and watched the movie in a half-asses kind of a way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luke_scott22 2009-02-01 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm glad," he said. He started to watch the movie and after a while his eyes felt heavy and he closed them. He started to drift off a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She watched him for a moment, noticing him falling asleep. She wasn't sure what to do, since this was his place and they were supposed to stay up all night. She slid off the couch and looked around, trying to see if anything needed to be cleaned up. Layla attempted to be as quiet as she could be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He woke with a start and looked at the couch. She wasn't there. "Crap," he said loudly. He stood up and looked around. He spotted her. "I thought maybe you'd left," he said a little sheepishly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I...um wasn't sure what to do? I know we said we'd stay up, but I felt kind of like I was dogging on your privacy if you slept and I didn't." Layla said sheepishly back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He walked over to her and kissed her cheek. "Well I'm very glad that you stayed. Was I out long?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
