Day 32
Who: George Lass and Lucas Scott
What: George finally gets the guts to go knock on Lucas' door and ask him for some basketball lessons, like he offered
When: Day 32, afternoon
Where: Lucas' residential building, at his door (probably will move on to a more suitable location for basketball practising)
Status: Incomplete
Rating: PG just to be safe

George had thought about it most morning. Not all the time, of course, she'd been in too good a company to obsess over anything, but she had definitely thought about it.
In all fairness, Lucas had said he was serious about the offer, and that she could go knock on his door at any time. However, something like that was easier said than done for George, who, for some reason, dreaded to begin human interaction.

Finally, after much thought and downright obsession (after a while) George decided to walk over to Lucas' building and knock. Just knock. It wasn't like she was going to force anyone to do anything, and it wasn't like knocking on doors wasn't an everyday sort of thing. People knocked, all the time, because they had to. And now, George had to, as well. Because she was bored, because she wanted to do something under that awesome sun other than lie down and sleep, and, if she was honest, because she wouldn't mind seeing Lucas again. Also, because if she didn't, Lucas wouldn't know she was outside.

As she finished this entangled train of thought, she arrived at his door. Taking a deep breath and sporting a look of dread that was akin to her being forced to kick a puppy, George knocked.

	George felt a slight shiver down her spine, but shook her head. "I do trust you. I just don't want you to run away screaming." She told him with a false smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

George sighed, and looked Lucas straight in the eyes.

"Okay. I died. I died, but instead of actually dying, I got tagged, and turned into a reaper. So, in a way, I never really died. I mean I was buried, what was left of me, anyway, but I kept existing." She paused, shook her head - she couldn't believe she was actually telling him this. Telling Andy was different, he had started by saying he was a freak himself. - and licked her lips.

"Anyway, to other mortals, I had another body. Even when I looked in the mirror, it wasn't me, it was someone else. So, for obvious reasons, I had to let go of my family, even though I stayed close by. But of course I didn't want to let go of them, I couldn't conceive seeing them grieving for me when I was right there and I couldn't even tell them I was okay. So I tried, and I tried, and I lost some of my memories trying to prove to my mother I was me, and it still didn't work, and she felt like shit afterwards. Until I gave up." George sighed, with a hint of tears in her eyes. She was now waiting for the look of horror in Lucas' face, and his hands getting off her shoulders, and him making some stupid excuse to leave. Any second now.

	He looked at her as she spoke. It sounded a little unbelievable to him but something in the tone of her voice told her she was speaking the truth. "Wow," he breathed out. "That must have been really hard for you. Seeing your family grieve for you while you're still there. I'm so sorry George," he said hugging her tightly to him and rubbing her back soothingly.

	George's jaw dropped a little when Lucas hugged her again, instead of running for the hills. "Really?!" She asked, her voice muffled by her face against his shoulder. Soon, though, she could no longer care. She just closed her eyes and appreciated the comfort of his hug and his hand rubbing her back, and hugged him tighter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Really," he said. "I'm really sorry George." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No!" She pulled back a few inches and looked up at him. "Really, you're not running away, or freaked out, or just...you're hugging me?!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I am a little freaked out to be honest but I believe you. I saw my Uncle Keith after he'd been murdered. He came to be and told me to open my eyes to what had happened the day he'd been murdered. And later I found out it was because the person I thought had murdered him actually hadn't been the person who'd murdered him. And the way you spoke when you told me, it told me you were telling the truth. So I do believe you."

"So you can do that when you cross over..." George mused out loud. "I'm sorry about your uncle. And I'm glad you found his murdered." She still had her arms around him, and felt a little weird letting go, but also felt weird remaining there.

"But I'm me. Right now, here, you're looking at the real me. Something about this planet reverted me back. I see myself in the mirror. And I'm alive, I promise. I have a heartbeat. I'm just alive under special conditions, is all..." She smiled warmly.

"Yeah me too. Though it didn't really help discovering it was my biological father," he said quietly.

"I can see that you're alive," he said giving her a warm smile. "I can't deny that it does freak me out some but just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you should run away from it right?" he asked. "And I'm glad you're alive, even if it is under special conditions because I like you."

	George made a face of awe mixed with dread. "I am so sorry." She said, rubbing his forearm softly. She looked up at Lucas' face and smiled, her smile hinting at sadness and thankfullness at the same time. "I like you too..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luke_scott22 2009-02-16 12:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you," he said when she said she was sorry. He smiled at her when she said she liked him too. "I'm glad to hear it," he said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George still couldn't believe what a sad life story Lucas seemed to have. Or what a bastard of a father he had, rather. "I think it's pretty hard not to like you, honestly." She told him smirking. And it was. George couldn't remember ever having met someone as nice as Lucas, both before and after death. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He blushed when she said that. "Thank you George. But I'm sure there are some people out there who don't like me," he said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They're probably jealous." George said, winking. She was in a better mood now, thank God. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughed when she said that. "Thank you George. That's really sweet of you to say." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-20 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	George laughed along with Lucas. This was turning out to be much better than she expected. "Oh, don't thank me, it's true." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So, how would you feel about going to get something to drink?" he asked, smiling at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-20 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	George's smiled grew wider. "I would love to!" She said cheerfully. As much as she knew how to play a sport now, she couldn't say she wasn't happy to just go sit around somewhere with something to drink in front of her. And Lucas. Always nice to have in front of her.

	"Great," he said, his smile growing wider. "What kind of drink would you like?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-20 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	George looked around, thinking and wondering what she really felt like drinking. Coffee was always a good idea, but it seemed like she drank nothing else, ever. "I'll have a coke!" She finally said out loud, smiling as widely as before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luke_scott22 2009-02-21 07:20 am UTC (link)
	He grinned at her. "Okay, where would the best place to get a coke be? The bar?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-21 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	George looked around, and shrugged. "Uhh... I guess. I haven't explored those places much yet, except for the cafe. But I guess the bar would be the place to go to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay, then we head there," he said smiling at her. He grabbed the basketball and started to walk off the court. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-21 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	George smiled and walked after Lucas, wondering if the bar was anywhere near the cafe, or even if Lucas knew where to go, because she sure as hell didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
