Paint a smile, Live Happy, and Follow Lucas

“You deserve to be happy, Scarlett,” Lucas said whipping away a tear from my face “everyone deserves a second chance.” I allowed a small smile to form on my lips.
“How could you be so young yet and so wise?” I asked pulling him into a tight hug. I rested my head on Lucas’s shoulder and said “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He whispered softly in my ear. I let my eyes close and my thoughts drift only too happy ones, for the first time since I moved here I was finely starting to feel like things where falling into place. I was starting to feel like there where finally people who cared about me.
