New Beginnings Chp 2
#2 of New Beginnings
Sorry this one is shorter. It's focused more around Lucas
Lucas was up and ready for school by 7:30. Once he got the text from Eric early in the morning he had become worried that something happened to him. Yeah, Eric said it was a dream, but a dream about what?
He remembered that the day before Eric had told him he gets to school early, so Lucas decided he should leave early to meet up with him. He went to his room and grabbed his keys, wallet, backpack, and his rainbow colored bracelet.
About a year before, Lucas had gotten the Bracelet from an old boyfriend of his, Max Grath. Max had to move away across the country, so they decided it was for the best if they split up. They were a close couple, but many relationships cannot stand the distance between them. Their relationship was one of those. The last thing Max gave Lucas was the Bracelet and he has not gotten rid of it since.
He grabbed his stuff and ran out to his car. It was a clean, dark blue 2007 Mustang GT. Lucas was proud of his car and liked to show it off to his friends. Most of the senior class knows who the car belongs too and likes it. He remembered he hasn't shown it Eric yet and puts that on his mental To-Do list.
He starts the car then drives off to school.
The school is deserted except for the teachers' cars. Lucas has never been to school this early. He looked at the time and it was 7:40, he still had 20 minutes to find and talk to Eric.
He went into the school and didn't see Eric. He then realized he didn't know Eric's homeroom. He immediately face palmed himself and pulled out his phone. Before he started typing he hears footsteps and turned toward them. He saw a human and realized it was notEric. He remembered Eric had a brother but forgot his name.
"Hey, um, Eric's brother!"
The human looked up and saw the husky.
"My name is Mark."
"Okay, hey Mark."
"What?"
"My name is Lucas Mashner. I'm looking for Eric, do you know where he is? His homeroom?"
"How should I know where he is? I'm not his parole officer."
"Well you ARE his brother."
"Whatever, his homeroom is 402."
"Thanks, Mark, thanks so much."
"..."
"Well are you gonna go find him?"
"Huh, oh, yeah, sorry. Thanks again. Bye."
"Next time don't block the bathroom!"
Lucas walked toward room 402 and thinking about what just happened until he bumped into something. "Umf, wha-"
"Lucas! What are you doing over here? This isn't your homeroom, is it?"
"Finally, I was looking for you Eric. You know your brother can be sassy. And no, it isn't. "
"Yeah, I know he can. Why were you looking for me?"
"I just wanted to talk to you. More specifically about why you texted me last night. You were texting worriedly from what I grasped."
"Texting worriedly? Seriously?"
"Okay, that did sound a little weird, but I'm serious. Whats wrong?"
"Nothing, I told you it was just a dream, nothing big. Why are you so worried anyway?"
'Why am I so worried?' Lucas thought to himself. "You're my friend, I can't be worried about my friend?"
"You do know we met only yesterday, right?"
"I make friends fast."
"You can't make a friend in one day."
"So you're saying were not friends?"
"Basically, yeah."
"..."
"Okay, okay, okay I'll tell you if you really want to know, alright? I'm sorry for being a jerk. It's just something I don't want to talk about."
"...Why don't you want to talk about it? Just give me a good reason and I'll stop pestering you."
"It's my dad. You ever heard of Isaac Tanner? That's him."
Lucas looked at him until he heard that name. Isaac Tanner killed his Mother, gunshot to the head, right outside his house. At hearing that his new friends' father is Isaac Tanner, he got angry and it was quite visible on his face. His ears shot back down against his skull and he bared his teeth with a growl behind.
Lucas shot a look of pure hatred at Eric. Eric saw his anger and thought of his father when he hurt him and his family. He had a look of fear in his eyes. At seeing Eric's expression, Lucas' quickly changed from anger to one of sorrow.
"I'm sorry Eric... it... it's just...that man... he...he killed my mom." Lucas tried to choke back tears but failed and slumped against the wall.
"He hurt my family too, Lucas. I'm sorry for what he did. I can't change it, but I would if I could. In my dream, he hurt you, he beat almost all the life out of you. The worst was that he made me watch and he made me shoot you. He made me kill you."
After telling each other their darkest things, Lucas pulled Eric close and hugged him. They cried into each others arms.
They stayed in that position even after their tears until the bell rang signaling the start of the day.
The second day went by quickly and so did the third and forth and fifth. Lucas was having the best week of his life with Eric. Having such a great time caused him to think of the times he spent with Max. He remembered how they went to the movies, ate dinner, stayed in each others arms, kissed. Max had made him forget his sorrow and live happily. He taught him to smile, laugh, and play.
After all those happy memories he realized that he yearned for more. He wanted someone to care about and someone to care about him. He wanted someone he could love and could love him back. He wanted... Eric Tanner.
