And everyone else thanks for the reviews!
Lucas woke up with a start, his noisy alarm being the culprit for waking him, and hit the alarm on snooze. Today was not a good day; it was the anniversary of Keith's death.
He looked at the picture of himself, Keith and his mom he kept on his bedside table and sighed. It the day was bad for him, it was terrible for his mom. She was always hard to talk to on this day and stayed all day in bed.
Andy her fiancé, understood, and was the perfect gentlemen, he didn't say a word about it and did the best he could, offering cups of coffee, cooking, doing the housework and helping in the café. Lucas was glad his mom had Andy; she had been heartbroken when Keith had died and Andy finally made her happy again.
Keith was like a father to Lucas and things just hadn't been the same since he'd gone. It didn't help that Keith's murderer, still after four years, had not been caught. Just after the incident Lucas recalled hearing people talking about a girl, his age, who had witnessed something but the Scott's had hushed it all up and no-one was quite sure what the girl had seen. Pity, Lucas always thought as it was the only evidence anyone had.
Bending down and leaning his hands on his knees, Nathan tried to steady his breath and looked up at his destination he had planned on visiting while on his morning jog. The graveyard.
He looked around and no-one else seemed to be there, no passerby's, cars, anyone.
He made his way, slowly, to his uncle's grave, taking in the surroundings; this place always gave him the creeps. A sniff and rustling of paper disturbed the peace and quiet that was in the air. Nathan stopped short, when he saw a familiar brunette girl arranging flowers that she had placed down on a grave. Not anyone's grave, either. Keith's.
Her brown hair, wavy, was blowing slightly in the wind and she appeared to be talking but it was so quiet that Nathan couldn't hear. Yearning to hear what she was saying, he slowly tread across the grass and behind a tree, close enough to hear her quiet murmurs but so she couldn't see him.
"…and me and Nathan still hate each other but that's nothing new. I'm starting to get to know Lucas better" A smile appeared on her face as she spoke about Lucas and Nathan felt a rush of jealousy but brushed it aside as his confusion to why she was here in the first place was bigger than the jealousy.
"You'd be proud of him, Keith he is such a nice sweet, nice and cute boy and he is a really good basketball player"
She paused and fingered the part on the grave where it said 'Loving brother' she bent her head and spoke even quieter causing Nathan to try and get as close as possible without blowing his cover.
"I'm sorry, Keith I know I've let you down. It's been four years and still no-one knows the truth." She ran a hand though her hair "It's just, so hard when he's the mayor and I'm just a slutty cheerleader. No-one will believe me and Nathan hates me for it, no doubt Lucas will if he ever finds out. No-one believes me. It will get out one day though, I promise"
Nathan stood there is shock, he had never believed her before, but why would she come to his grave? Unless she knew he was there and it was all an act….
But no-one was sick enough to do that were they? Especially Brooke after everything she had told him about her grandmother…she wouldn't do anything as cruel as this would she?
She sounded so sincere and pained, the way she'd touched the grave and she'd brought flowers, the way she kept nervously looking around as if someone would catch her there. Even if it was 6am in the morning.
The only reasonable explanation was that she was telling the truth…but his dad killing his own brother? His dad may be a bastard but he wouldn't do anything like that would he?
Not being able to move, he didn't realise that Brooke had stood up and was making her way towards him to leave. Her surprised and scared squeal was what jerked him back to his senses. He took in her appearance, her red eyes, dark shadows underneath and the terrified look on her face. She opened her mouth several times, but no words came out.
"Don't hate me anymore" was all she ushered in a whisper and ran off. She was acting as if she was scared of him and what he would do.
His thoughts jumbled in his head and he had no idea what he was going to do…was this even the truth?
Suddenly, something clicked in his brain….Mom. She was a mess after Keith's death.
Why? She was only his sister in law even his girlfriend Karen had held it together better than his mom. Maybe she knew something.
Marching straight into the rehab centre, he hadn't visited his mom in a couple of months and guilt overcame him. He was only visiting now so he could get answers; he was still in his jogging clothes and was in desperate need of a shower but he couldn't waste anytime he needed answers.
"I'd like to see Deb Scott, please" he said to the receptionist
"Sorry, sir it's too early for visiting times"
"You don't understand I need to see her, now"
"You'll have to wait…"
"No, I need to see her now!" he demanded throwing his fist on the desk and the receptionist flinched.
"I'll call security…"
Nathan moved his head closer to hers ad hissed "In case you don't know I'm her son, Nathan Scott and my dad's the Mayor…unless you want him to dig some dirt up on your past mistakes I suggest you let me see her"
Shaking her head and looking scared "Of course, Mr Scott, sorry about that, um just go straight through the doors ill have someone to escort you to her.
Nathan started at his mom's room, his head full of doubts if he really wanted to hear the truth…it could either be that Brooke was a cruel spiteful bitch or that she was telling the truth. Swallowing, a lump developed in his throat and he started to panic, he was to young to dealing with stuff like this, he shouldn't be dealing with stuff like this.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open, not sure he was ready to uncover the truth.
Sooo, what did you think? Good, bad, ok?
