Woo 20 chapters this is my longest story, and I still got a bit more to go

The worst news

"Hello?" said Dil as he picked up the reciever

"Hello Dil is your mother or father there?" siad the person on the other end frantically

"Hey Grandma how's Grampa?"

"Please Dil get one of your parents" Dil was worried. Something had to be wrong if she needed to talk to Didi or Stu urgently.

"Mom grandma Lulu is on the phone, she really needs to speak to you"

"I'm sorry honey I'm busy, get your father"

"DAD!" shouted Dil down into the basement

"WHAT! was the reply

"GRANDMA LULU REALLY NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU!"

Stu made a frustrated grunt as he stomped up the stairs to his son and took the phone of his son

"Hey Lulu what's so important"

"Stu it's your father" Stu's heart stopped and the color ran from his face

"What's up with dad"

"We were in London, he was crossing the street when a car came out of nowhere and...and..." she couldn't fight the tears anymore as she broke down and cried

"No, please god no" said Stu as tears ran down his cheeks.

Dil saw the look on his fathers face and knew something must of happened to Lou.

"I'm sorry Stu, but your father has died" Lulu said when she had fought off the tears long enough to speak

"He can't be...not dad"

"I'm so sorry"

"There must be some mistake, please say your joking"

"I wish I was, god knows I wish I was"

"Have you called Drew?"

"Not yet, I called you first"

"I'll call him. Thank you for phoning Lulu."

"Ok goodbye Stu"

Stu hung up and fell to his knees as the tears he was fighting flooded out his eyes

"Dad what has happened to Grandpa?" asked Dil who had stood there with his father the whole time

Stu wiped his eyes and stood up next to his youngest son

"Dil, your Grandpa has...died. He was hit by a car in London"

Dil felt a tear run down his cheek. "No" he practically whispered

Dil stared at his father, his grandparents from his mothers side had died when he was young, other than that noone he had cared for had died. He wasn't sure how to react

"I'm gonna phone your uncle, will you tell your mother and brother?"

Dil nodded, still in shock and walked off to find his mother. Stu wiped away the remaining tears and picked up the phone again. He stopped halfway through dialing his brothers number and hung the phone back up

"What am I gonna say?" he mumbled as more tears ran down his face.

Dil had found his mom in the kitchen sipping a cup of coffee. He sat down across from his mom as the tears kept falling from his eyes. Didi put her cup down and noticed her son. She knew something had to be wrong

"What's wrong Dilly?"

"It's...it's Grandpa"

"What's wrong with Grampa"

"He's gone" a few more tears rolled down his face

"What?"

"He died... he was hit by a car"

"Oh my god" said Didi raising her hand over her mouth

"Dad is phoning Uncle Drew"

Dil looked up to see tears flowing freely down his moms face

"Does Tommy know?"

"Not yet Mom, I'll send him a message"

Dil pulled out his cellphone and wrote a short message and sent it to his brother.

=== Finsters home ===

"That's a bit weird Kimi"

"It's probably nothing"

They leaned into kiss again, but this time Tommys mobile began to vibrate. He sighed as he pulled it out of his pocket and read the new message.

'Tommy it's really important you get home now!'

Tommy looked at the message for a while, then remembered what Kimi had said earlier.

"Ok this is freaky"

"What is?"

"Dil just sent a message saying I gotta get home now and after what you said...I must admit I'm slightly worried"

"Hey don't worry, you probably didn't finish your dinner again."

Tommy smiled as he got up and kissed Kimi on the forehead

"I'll hopefully be back soon"

"Ok goodbye" she said getting up with him and waving him off at the door "Me and my big mouth" she mumbled as she closed the door

Tommy walked home with a million thoughts going through his head. 'What could this news be? Does mom think I've got some eating disorder or something' It wasn't long until he was home and was welcomed by a flood of tears.

"What's going on?"

"It's your Grampa Lou"

The tears running down his families face said it all

"He hasn't...died has he?"

Stu nodded before more tears ran down his cheeks

"Not my Grampa" he whispered. Tommy couldn't help himself as the tears ran down his face

He walked passed his family and up into his room. He locked the door behind him. Didi, Stu and Dil were suprised by Tommys reaction, but thought it best to leave him alone for now. Tommy lay on his bed holding a picture of him and his grandpa fishing together

"He can't be gone, he can't" he said throwing the picture to the floor as he lay back.

He remembered all the days he'd spent fishing or listening to his war stories. He knew he couldn't do them anymore. What he wouldn't give to be able to hear a story again. Any story.

He lay there a bit longer staring at the ceiling through his teary eyes. He wanted to talk to someone, but who would be able to understand his pain? He kept his gaze upwards as he tried to think.

'I could talk to Phil I supose' he thought

Tommy picked up his cellphone and started to write a message

'Phil if your about give me a ring please, T'

Tommy put down his phone next to him as he slowly fell asleep. But he didn't sleep long as his phone began to vibrate again. It was Phil he had sent a text back.

'Sorry Tommy I'm out with Charolette tonite I'll speak to you 2morro. P'

"Damn it" said Tommy throwing his phone across the room
