Chapter 5
Brook and Lucas were packing and getting ready to go to Tree Hill when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Brook its Peyton. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me or something."
"I'd love to if Lucas and I weren't going back to Tree Hill."
"Oh. Wait a sec, why are you going back home?"
"Dan died so we are to the funeral and for Nathan."
"Oh my god! Poor Nate!"
"Yea well I have to go we are leaving soon."
"Ok c~ya later Brook." Peyton said hanging up the phone as Jake came into the room.
"Hey Peyton. What's wrong?" Jake asked seeing a sad expression on her face.
"Dan died."
"Oh?"
"I called Brook to see if she wanted to do something and she said that they are going back to Tree Hill for the funeral.
"That's terrible how is Nate?"
"Brook said he said that he was ok but a little sad."
"Poor Nate."
"Yea. I think we should go back for the funeral, Nate will need some friendly faces."
"I think that's a good idea. My parents want to see Jenny and we can take a break from classes for a couple of days."
"Yea, well I'm gonna go pack."

**in Tree Hill the next day**
Nathan and Haley woke up but didn't hear Audrey crying . They went into the room where she was sleeping and found Deb holding the sleeping baby.
"Its nice to have a little baby around here again." Deb said noticing Nathan and Haley walking into the room "I forgot what is was like to have a little baby around. I needed something to take my mind off dan's death. I know that we were divorced but we had some happy moments early in our marriage."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later that day they went to the reading of the will. It was just Haley, Nathan Deb, and Keith, they left Audrey with Karen.
"So we are here to read the will of Dan Scott." the layer said. "Well lets not waist anytime.
To my brother Keith I leave my car dealership along with the body shop.
To my son Nathan, I leave my beach house and a sum of $5000, the rest of it shall go to Deb along with all of my other belongings."
"Did that say he gives me the beach house and $5000?" Nathan asked.
"Yes it did."
"Oh" was all Nathan could say he was surprised that he would even leave him anything especially after he chose to stay with his mom over him and that he got a restraining order against him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next few days had past and it was the day of the funeral. The whole town was at the church almost, which surprised Nathan. The funeral had begun and Nathan had stayed strong. After a while he couldn't hold tears in any longer. Silent tears began to fall down his cheeks. Haley looked over and saw the tears falling. She squeezed his hand gently to let him know that she was there for him. Nathan looked down at her and gave a small smile. She smiled back and then turned back to face the front of the church. After they the procession out of the church Haley turned to Nathan and wiped the tears from his face and kissed him.
"Everything will be alright."
"I know Hales, I know."
They then walked out of the church hand in hand. The then went to the graveyard and buried Dan. After the graveyard they all went back to deb's house. They were all there eating and talking when Haley decided to go talk to Nathan who was outside. She walked out and saw Nathan standing there
"Hey babe, how ya doing?" Haley asked as she came outside.
"Ok." Nathan replied.
Haley walked over to where Nathan was standing.
"What do you have behind your back?" Nathan asked seeing Haley holding something behind her back.
"Nothing."
"Yes you do, you are holding something can tell you are. And times you can't lie to me."
"Alright fine ya wanna know what I have behind my back?" she asked and Nathan nodded.
