A/N: Sorry about the confusion about Haley. Well if you haven't guessed yet Haley died, and I haven't decided how yet so please give me suggestions, and Nathan only left Jada with Lucas and Brooke because that's how he was connected to Haley, so its too hard for him to be around her so yeah that might clear some stuff of so continue reading and reviewing.
It was late by the time we got home from shopping because Aunt Brooke insisted we drive into Charleston for the afternoon because according to her there is no good shopping here. I bought only a few things compared to her though, but she thinks I need way more "school" clothes and less sport clothes.
"Hey guys your home late."
"Yeah we drove into Charleston after we went to register at the school."
"And you guys didn't stop by the gym to say hi?"
"Sorry, we were kinda busy, making fun of my new principal."
"Ok."
Then I went upstairs to unpack and put my new stuff away, when I was interrupted.
"Hey squirt."
"Uncle Luke, I'm not short anymore I short anymore."
"Right I forgot, but anyways since we haven't spent much time together since you got here…"
"I've only been here 24 hours."
"Right but as I was saying we haven't ever spent much time together, so I thought we could go get some ice cream and maybe catch a movie?"
"Ok, but you guys gotta let me unpack tomorrow else I wont ever get it done."
"Deal"
"That movie was so cheesy; tell me why we went to see the ring 2?"
"Because you wanted to see it."
"Ok good point, now can we please get ice cream now?" I asked with the puppy dogface.
"Fine, I think Karen's working tonight, and you haven't said hi to her yet"
"Yeah ice cream!"
"Mom!"
"Hey, Lucas. And is that Jada?"
"It hasn't been that long since the funeral."
"Yeah, your right, but I didn't know what else to say. But what has brought you guys here so late?"
"Ice cream."
"What flavour? Lets see if I remember, ummmm, chocolate chip cookie dough."
"Yupp."
"Luke, it's on the house."
"Thanks"
"Bye Karen" I yelled on the way out. On the way back to his house he started to laugh at me.
"What!"
"Nothing you just remind me so much of your mom."
'I know every ones told me that since she died." I started to cry for the first time since the funeral
"Sorry, I didn't make you cry Jada. Come here" then he engulfed me into one of his huge hugs.
"Shhhhh… Its ok to cry." And of course he started to tickle me. I had a laugh attack.
"Uncle Luke stop it." I managed to get out.
"Hey have you called your dad back."
"No and I'm not ready to yet."
"You should at least call and say hi he's called a half a dozen times or more today."
"Fine but only to say hi and that's it."
"That's all he asks." By now we were back home and uncle Luke made sure I called my dad. It was actually an ok conversation. The best we had in a while, we talked about everything, except what I actually felt about this situation. But it was good.
"Now was that herd?"
"It almost killed me."
"But you survived. And I hate to be the barer of bad news but its eleven thirty and you need to get up so you can join me for my run."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes, it decreases stress, and trust me you need it."
"Fine"
