Here is a teaser of my new fanfiction and if a lot of people like it, I will upload chapter 1. Okay, enojoy...
Nathan dribbled the ball on his way home. Left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand. God, he whished he had somewhere else to go. Of course he had Hales, but he couldn't hang out there 24/7. Haley James had been his best friend since they were like 2. Always & forever, Hales. They talked about everything, mostly his dads drinking.
Left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand. If he concentrated hard enough it made him forget about the other crap. When he reached his frontyard he took a shot at the hoop, nailed it, sighed and went inside.
"Dad?" He opened the refridgerator and picked up a bottle of water. There was silence in the Scott-house this afternoon. Good, he thought to himself. No radio, no tv and best of all: No dad. He turned around towards the table and noticed a letter lying there. He frowned. It looked like his dad's handwriting on the envelope. Should he read it?
The reason why he was torn was simple. The only times that his dad left him notes was either when he was going out drinking and told Nathan not to wait up, or a suicide-note. His dad never did commit suicide but Nathan still kept getting notes about it and he never got used to it. He decided to open the letter. There could be money in.
He ripped it open, holding his breath.
Nathan,
I'm leaving you now. But I guess you saw it coming, right?
Ever since your mum died I haven't been strong, I know that.
You'll be better off without me.
Stay at the house if you want, or maybe you can stay at Haley's.
Maybe I'll return, maybe not.
Have a good life, son.
At first he thought it was a joke. Then he rationalized. That was a pretty big thing to joke about. He felt numb. God, why does these things keep happening to me?
He felt angry. Could he had been any more brief!? He threw the note in the bin and let out a scream of frustration. He stormed out of the kitchen, determined to find his dad hiding somewhere. He refused to believe that he actually left.
"Dad! Daaaaad!" He ran around the house getting it harder and harder to keep his breathing steady. He had to be here somwhere. He had to! He wouldn't leave Nathan alone.
He was panicing, hyperventilating...
"Knock, knock!" Haley's voice came from nowhere. She could see him running around, but didn't catch his panicked face.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" He stopped right infront of her, trying to calm down.
"My dad, my dad...Have you seen him????!" She looked at him worriedly.
"No, no I haven't...Nathan, what happened?"
"I think...He has...He's gone." His voice dropped.
