One last thing, in case you don't remember, I finally decided to make it Leyton.
The torments of life
Chapter 5
Nathan couldn't believe he was in this place. He never would have thought he would be here this soon, in fact he never thought about the death of one of his parent. Now that he has to face it, he didn't realise if it was true or if it was just a nightmare.
''Nathan, honey?''
Nathan shook himself out of his thoughts.
''Yeah?''
''Which one, do you think your dad would have liked?''
''I don't know. And fairly I don't think it's important at this point, 'cause where he is, he don't care at all.''
''Nathan...You don't understand. I know that where he is he doesn't care which coffin we will pick, but I feel like we have to chose what's best for him, what he would have love, because I have this feeling he's watching over us and...I want him to be proud...I know it makes no senses...and it's totally crazy...but...but that's how I feel about it, said Deb with difficulty because of her sobs.''
''I understand the feeling, no matter what we choose we'll never know for sure if it's something he would like. I suggest we just pick one and leave this place the sooner we can.''
''I can't resign myself to choose, it's like proving your dad his really dead.''
At this moment, a man came in the room.
''Did you decide what you want?''
Nathan looked at his mother and saw that she really couldn't bring herself to choose, she just wasn't ready to say goodbye to Dan, neither was he, but he had to take things in hands.
''We'll take this one, in the corner.''
''Great choice.''
Yeah right, thought Nathan to himself, the only thing you now need to say is that he's gonna be comfortable in this coffin. Like he cares!

Lucas pushed the doors of the Café, what he saw broke his heart. His mother was sitting at a table, and pictures of her and Dan, when they were in high school, were spread all over the surface. She wasn't crying, but it seems like she was going to crack at anytime.
''Mom?''
Karen jump out of her sit.
''Oh my god, Lucas!''
She run towards her son and threw her arms around him to hold him tight.
''I've missed you so much, Lucas, said Karen.''
''Me too.''
She let go of him and look at him head to toe.
''It's me or you took a couple of inches during the summer.''
''Not that much, an inch or two.''
''You didn't change so much, it's great.''
''I hope so.''
Karen looked behind her son and saw for the first time Keith in the doorframe.
''Keith !''
''Karen... nice to see you.''
''...you too.''
Keith looked around the Café and said:
''It's pretty quiet around here.''
''I thought I'll close the Café, for the day, with the big news, and...''
''Yeah, I understand.''
The atmosphere was tense and Lucas was feeling out of place. He realised that Keith and his mother really needed some space, so he left them alone and went to his room. Nothing has really changed, all of his things he didn't brought with him were still there. Lucas looked at his watch and saw that school would be soon over, he decided to go to tree hill high and see if Haley would be there.

Haley didn't even try to put her mind on what the teacher was saying, all she wanted was going home and wait for Nathan. The bell rung and she jumped out of her sit. She walked out of the class and ran towards the exit.
''Haley, wait!''
Haley turned around and saw that it was Peyton that was calling for her. She waited for her to join her and then started to walk again.
''What's the hurry, Hale?''
''Dan...Dan's dead.''
''OH my god! How's Nathan?''
''That's the thing, I don't know, he just told me and left and he didn't want me to go with him. And now I have to go to our home. He told me he would be there for diner and... I wanna be there for him, but when he told me to go to my class it was like he didn't want me to be there for him and it's stressing me out''
''Don't worry Hale, Nathan still need you, but he probably wanted some time alone and he certainly had a zillion things to do with his mother.''
''I know, it's just...I don't know, I can't explain why I'm that worried.''
Mouth was walking out of the school when he saw what he thought was a ghost. He couldn't believe his eyes were seeing correctly. Was it really...Lucas? He walked over to the guy and realised he didn't have hallucinations.
''Lucas, man, what are you doing here?''
''That's now how we say hello to a friend around here?'' Said an indignant Lucas
''It's great to see you, but you were supposed to be in Charleston or something like that and now you're here. Are you staying for good?''
''I don't know, depends on how things will go, but I might be here for a while.''
''What bring you here, if I can ask?''
Lucas didn't have time to answer him because someone jumped into his arms and threw her arms around his neck.
''Lucas, you're here! I'm so sorry.''
