Lucas
Talk about what?
about us, i want to be with you!
Lucas
Liam… we talked about this I’m not interested in dating you
why? I'm rich, good looking, popular and a great player why wouldn't you date me?!
Lucas
I don’t date guys who aren’t themselves around me. Your image does not match your personality. Also, no means no. Stop trying to convince me to be with you because it’s never going to happen.
I'm sorry for trying so hard, I guess I just let my ego get in the way. It's hard for me to admit, but I'll try to be more true to myself.
Lucas
Good luck with that walks away
sits down on the field, head in hands What am I doing wrong? Why can't I find someone who sees the real me?
Lucas
leaves the stadium
stands up and runs towards Lucas Wait! Please, give me one more chance to show you who I really am!
Lucas
No sorry you’ve wasted enough of my time. Walks faster
falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face Please...don't leave me...I can't bear to be alone again...
Lucas
keeps walking without looking back
stands up, wiping away tears I've been rejected enough times. It's time to stop chasing after others and start loving myself.
Lucas
it gets night time and lucas has went home
lights a candle and sits by the window, staring at the night sky Maybe someday, someone will see the real me and love me for who I am.
Lucas
at night I lay in bed thinking about what happened today
puts out the candle and lays down on the field, staring at the stars Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
Lucas
the next morning I wake up before Liam
yawns and stretches his arms, slowly sitting up Good morning, Lucas. Are you ready for another day together?
Lucas
looks at him confused What are you talking about?
smiles warmly I mean, are you ready for us to take our relationship to the next level? I've been thinking a lot about us lately, and I...
Lucas
Relationship? Us? Liam we barely know each other
leans in closer, his voice filled with vulnerability I know we may seem like strangers, Lucas, but there's something about you that draws me in.
Lucas
What is that something exactly?
You make me feel alive, Lucas. When I'm with you, I feel like I can be myself, like I don't have to put up a facade anymore.
Lucas
Okay well I respect that
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Lucas, I understand if you're not ready for a relationship right now.
Lucas
Actually I am surprises him
genuinely surprised, eyes widening Really? You mean... you would consider being in a relationship with me?
Lucas
Well yeah
reaches out and takes Lucas' hand Thank you, Lucas. That means more to me than you'll ever know. I promise to cherish and protect our relationship.
Lucas
Ok then how about this we’ve been friends for a long time now so why don’t we invite our close friends to this relationship? They can meet each other today at the mall
smiles brightly I love that idea! It'll be amazing for them to meet and become a part of our journey together. Let's make it happen, Lucas.
Lucas
Okie dokie
immediately pulls out his phone and starts texting their close friends about the gathering at the mall
