Plotlines.

Chapter 10:

A couple of weeks later at the funeral, Haley has still managed to avoid Peyton and

Everybody else too. And Keith is still alive.

The mood was heavy at Nathan's funeral, Haley, Lucas, Brooke, Deb, Dan, Keith and Karen

were Standing next to Haley. As Nathan's body was lowered into the ground she knew that

This was it, the end; she had to get over the fact that she would not be able to see Nathan

Anymore, not be able to wake up with him, not be able to show him off to the world, never

Would she be able to experience the tingling feeling while Nathan just held her, and his

Kisses.

Everything seemed to be moving too fast.

LUCAS POV

Lucas felt numb, that's the only way in which you could explain what he was feeling, he was

Trying hard to be there for Haley, but it was hard, yesterday she had broken down in front

Of him, it meant something to him, knowing that she felt comfortable enough to do that

around Him.

Lucas moved closer to Haley and placed his arms around Haley protectively.

"We'll be o.k. Hales, I promise you".

DAN'S POV:

Regret was eating Dan Scott up, know he understood the saying; "You don't know what you

Got until you lose it". He had never spent enough time with Nathan; to get to know him.

FLASHBACK

Dan was standing outside Haley's hotel room, full with questions, but he didn't know how to

even begin this dreaded conversation. He lifted his hand to knock when the door opened.

"Haley……I was just about to…….."

"I know, I saw you hovering, thought I would put you out of your misery" Haley told Dan coldly.

"Can I come in?"

Haley was hesitant in answering, because truthfully she didn't want him to come in, to what

Had felt like home for a while. And she knew as soon as Dan stepped in that hotel room

Everything would change and mess up, just when stability was beginning to enter her life

Again.

Dan noticed that Haley was hesitant in answering.

"Or what about we go out to talk?" Dan asked Haley politely.

"Yeah, that would be better; I'll just grab my bag".

END OF FLASHBACK

Dan Knew that right now was a hard time for everybody and he needed to be there for

Everybody, but the fact that his son wouldn't talk to him anymore still hadn't suck in; he

Wanted for it to sunk in so that he could grieve properly.

BROOKE'S POV

Brooke had tried to be there for Haley but there was only so much that she could do and say

and she realised that Haley needed to grieve by herself.

But that wasn't the main thought occupying her mind, it was Lucas. He was still the same guy

That she had fallen for all of those years back but the lines on his forehead had now become

Permenant. His blue eyes had lost their sparkles. He just looked distant. Little did Brooke

Know that both were selfishly thinking of eachother.

PRESENT

Dan, Lucas and Keith picked up some mud and dropped it on Nathan's grave. The rest soon

Followed. Haley couldn't see the grave anymore and she began to panic, the oxygen wasn't

Getting to her, and that was the last thing she remembered at the funeral before passing out.
