The Song Remembers When
by Trisha Yearwood

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time thats passed
You would think I havent gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on earth you are

Lucas Eugene Scott had made a choice, he’d chosen to remove himself from Tree Hill before he made a bigger mess of everything. He’d hurt two girls that meant the world to him and that hadn’t been his intention but he hadn’t thought and now he was stood on a strange beach finding his thoughts wandering back to them and Tree Hill.

Perhaps the shaved head symbolised the change he was trying to make, him trying to leave behind the Lucas Scott he’d stopped recognising the moment he’d gotten popular and Cheerleaders had started undressing in the backseat of his car.

God, how had life gotten so crazy?

One minute he was the bastard Scott brother and the next he was the biggest star on the basketball team and everybody wanted a piece of him. It was a rollercoaster ride and with every rise and fall it had taken, Haley and his friends from the Rivercourt had been there, and it was only now he was beginning to realise that maybe in order to go forward he needed to go back.

But he couldn’t go back, could he? He’d made this big song and dance about getting away and putting distance between himself and all the mistakes he’d made, mistakes he’d tried to fix.

The truth was as beautiful as Charleston was it wasn’t Tree Hill and he often found himself turning to tell Haley a funny story about his day but had to stop himself because she wasn’t there and it wasn’t the same on the telephone.

The really messed up thing was when Keith came to him to tell him that Dan had had a heart attack Lucas had seen a chance and he’d jumped on it, not because of any loyalty to Dan but out of the hope that maybe if he went back he could make things better. It was pointless him being this so far away and thinking about Tree Hill and everybody he’d left behind, not if he didn’t intend on doing anything about who he’d become and what he’d done.

Sometimes to go forward you first have to go back.
