Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters from Everwood. I do own Sean, his grandparents and Mike.

Authors note: It's been a while since I wrote something so I'm a little rusty.

A New Start - part 1

Sean still can't believe that his parents is sending him to his grandparents.

Like it actually would help him to feel better. But right now it felt like nothing could help him. Because he had just lost his best friend in the whole world.

Why did they have to go to that party. If they hadn't gone, then Mike would still be alive.

A few guys at the party had started to fight and Mike being the peacemaker as always had tried to go between to stop the fight. Unfourtenly they had been at the top of the stairs and one of the guys accidentally pushed Mike and he fell down the stairs and broke his neck.

He had died immediately. Sean hadn't seen anything since ha was outside. But he had heard someone scream for someone to call an ambulance and ran into the house. And there on the floor was Mike lying dead.

Beside him sat a girl, who's name Sean couldn't remember and just shook her head.

"There's no pulse. He's dead."

Dead. Mike was dead.

Mike and Sean had known each other since first grade.Their friendship was something that Sean would have expected to last forever. But forever turned out to be too short.

Their friendship only lasted about ten years, because Mike only became 16 years old.

So, now he was on his way to the small town of Everwood, that had become his grandparents home seven years ago. After they had retired they decided that a change of scenery would be good. So they packed up their things and moved to Everwood, Colorado.

And now it would be Seans home as well.
