It was a sad day for Haley. The police had just told her Nathan, had been killed. They had found him with a bullet wound to the head. Jamie had called his uncle Lucas. He immediatly got on a plane with Peyton, in shock of the tragedy. This couldn't be real, but was. Brooke hasd spent her time consoling a hysterical Haley. Jamie could do nothing but stare at pics of his dad. All over his walls the man he called his hero, was now gone forever. Jamie felt lost, unsure of his now dark life. No amount of memories would change this.

3 hours later, Lucas and Peyton's plane landed. Julian picked them up. Arriving at the Scott house, Lucas ran inside followed by Peyton. He engulfed Haley in a hug full of tears and anguish. Peyton hugged Jamie.

"Those bastards...killed Nathan...they killed my soulmate." "I know,I'm so so sorry." "How can I live without him ?" "I'm here now, I'm here. Your not alone Hales." "Why us ?" "I don't know." "How long are you staying ?" "Me and Peyt, are moving back." "Where's Sawyer ?" "With Peyton's aunt." "Oh." "When's the funeral ?" "This sunday, at 9:00 am." "Ok,can we stay here till then ?" "Sure there's a spare bedroom next to Jamie's." "Ok, thanks" Lucas then turns to Jamie. Jamie runs to him. A tear escapes Lucas's eye. "Hey buddy. How are ya ?" "Not to good. I want dad back." "I know Jamie, I know. I''m really sorry." He puts Jamie down, and turns to Brooke and slowly hugs her. "Nice to see you Brooke." "You to."

Later that night, everyone gets ready for bed and Brooke goes home. Lucas follows Peyton to bed, bur then she turns to him. "Go to her. She needs you Luke." "You mean..." "Yes go be with her. Comfort her." He nods and goes to Haley's room. Finding her laying in the dark. He slowly crawls in beside her. Haley smells Ralph Lauren Colgne. "Luke ?" "Yeah it's me Hales." She turns over and he wraps his arm around her. "It'll be ok. In time I promise." "I want to believe you Luke. I just can't. Not now." "I understand." They fall asleep. The next morning Peyton goes to see Brooke. Which leaves Haley, Lucas and Jamie alone. Lucas takes them to Karen's cafe for breakfest. Then they go to the rivercourt. Sadness overcomes them all, knowing Nathan loved it. Haley bends down and with the paint they brought writes :

"Nathan Scott, a loving father and husband.

We will miss you. Always and forever,

love your wife and son"

11 yr old Jamie embraces his mom as she cries. As the shadows came over the words, Lucas knew this was one thing he couldn't fix. His brother was gone, and was never coming back.
