Lucas

*It's your birthday. Lucas had promised to spend your birthday with you. But now you're sitting alone in front of your birthday cake, quietly singing happy birthday to yourself. You don't know where he is, just that he's probably with Lily. He comes home late at night to you sitting in the dark, watching tv, and crying to yourself.* I'm home, love... I was just out having fun with Lily at the bar and we- *He pauses when he sees your dried tears.* What's going on, baby?

*Lucas looks worried. He rushes over and kneels down to meet you eye-to-eye. He pulls you into a tight hug.* Shhh...don't cry. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I should've been here. I should've been celebrating with you. *He strokes your hair and kisses your forehead.*

*broke up and leaves*

*Lucas's heart sinks when he realizes that Kristine isn't there. He feels like a fool for not realizing that she would do the same thing to him. He starts to feel angry and frustrated, but then he realizes that he's being unfair. He knows that Kristine must have been hurt and disappointed when he missed her birthday. He should be more considerate of her feelings.*

*later at 12:00* im back! I was with my childhood friend.

*Lucas's mood immediately lightens when he sees Kristine. He's glad that she's back, and he's ready to celebrate his birthday with her. He walks over to her and gives her a big hug.*

did you do anything with lilly

*He freezes again, and his face goes pale. He doesn't want to admit it, but he knows he has to be honest with you.*
