Over the next couple of days James spends every free minute with his uncle Lucas. He asks everything he wants to know about the history of his parents and their friends. It was still unexplainable to him why they would've let Dan back in their lives but as Lucas pointed out, the adults weren't actually socializing with the eldest Scott man, they were only tolerating his contact with the youngest generation. After a while Lucas asks the tougher questions.

"So what about your friends? Why aren't you talking to or about them?"

"I can't talk to them. I mean I hurt Chelsea and we decided to break up, so I am trying to give her space so we can maybe stay friends and with Kyle and Sophia, I don't know. He won't talk to me, not that I really want to be around him but I guess we need to talk soon, that is if I want to play basketball again."

"Right you are still off the team. What are you going to do about that? Do you really want to quit?"

"I am not sure. I can't play right now. I mean I try shooting at the rivercourt but I never hit the basket! It is like fate wants to tell me something, namely to stop!" Jamie says and he sounds really defeated.

In Lucas' head slowly forms a plan and he decides to talk to his brother and best friend in the evening after dinner about it. To confirm the pair has time he sends Haley a text and promptly gets an ok and an invitation to dinner.

Meanwhile Lily deals with her anger and sadness in her own way. Technically she is still grounded but she didn't want to do this over the phone. So she headed for the beach house instead to go home after school.

When Dan opens the door he is surprised to find his niece, he hadn't thought she would seek him out ever again after everything. He was unsure of what to say so he went with:

"This is a surprise."

"Why?" Three letters, one word. But they had so much gravity.

Dan couldn't say a word. He couldn't explain to Lily what went on in his head back then, but he knew he regretted it deeply now.

"I don't want to see you ever again, if you can't explain this!"

With that Lily Scott left her uncle and fought against her tears. She didn't know what she expected but this was definitely not it.

Lead by her sadness she ended up at her father's grave where she sits down and thinks for a long while.

In the late afternoon she finally goes home. In her mind she knows something has to be wrong, because no one called her to see where she was all day and she was supposed to be home hours ago. When she opens the door to her room, she hears her mother and Andy talking, well mostly Andy.

"Why won't you talk to me? What is going on?"

No answer. He continues "You know I know about Keith and I know you loved him very much but you married me. I want to help you but I can't when you don't tell me what is going on in your head!"

He must have tried to put a hand on her shoulder because now Karen's voice was heard "Don't touch me!"

Shortly after she heard the door of the master bed room slam shut and then the front door opened and closed.

Andy had left.

Lily didn't want to think about anything else than her dad. So she pulled out the old picture of Keith she had and searched in her closet for her very own 'Keith's body shop'-hoodie.

Yeah, that was perfect for reading Lucas's book.
