A/N: Okay...so I wrote this in the hope that there are actually people who will read it. Oh, and this plays off in 2055...so that would make them all about 67. You'll find out soon why Lucas and Haley's children never got to meet them. If you like the idea...please review and I'll put up the next chapter...it's only 8 chapters long so let me know if you like it...please!
Chapter 1
Dear Nick,
Jonathan and Alexandra Scott
16 November 2055
My name, as
you know, is Nathan Scott and I have had the privilege of being your
uncle, godparent and for the past 38 years - your guardian. By the
time this letter reaches you, I will no longer be with you...please
do not cry for me for I will be joining your parents and the love of
my life - your Aunt Brooke - in heaven. The reason for this, my last
letter to you, is simple. For years you have asked me a million
questions about your parents and I have avoided most of them for the
hurt was still to much for me. But now I believe it is time to tell
you. This is the story of your parents, Lucas Eugene Scott and Haley
Elizabeth James now Scott. Please forgive me if I left out bits and
pieces...I am, as you know, 67 and my memory and health are failing
me as the cancer spreads. In writing this, I do not want you to
regret the past and spend your time whishing it back for it is gone.
No, I do this so that the memory of your parents will live on in your
hearts and that you will tell your children: Lucas Jnr., Haley Jnr.,
Ryan, Sam, Lizzy and Nathan Jnr. about them...and me and Brooke as
well. Remind them of how much they and we loved them and how we will
always be in their hearts. I ask for a favour - for I fear I will not
have enough time - after you have read this, make a copy with one of
your fancy machines and send it to Peyton and Jake Jagielsky. I know
they would love to read this. Tell Peyton that I will take her
advice, love and greetings with me when I go. I know Brooke can't
wait to hear all the gossip. And tell Jake that Lucas and I are
waiting for him -for one final game. Then make another copy and send
it to your cousins, Brian and James, and tell them to read it to my
grandchildren. I ask you one last thing...when I die...bury me next
to my brother,sis-in-law and wife in Tree Hill and after you have
read this visit our graves in Tree Hill. Your grandparents' graves
to. Before you read this go into my room in Nick's house and look in
my closet. Look at the photos in the box named "Laley, Brathan &
Jeyton"...it will help to explain the story. So now I leave you
this one final story...the story of Luke and Hales...the story of
your parents and their friends. All my love always.
Nathan
Scott
P.S. A poem I thought you would like...I said it at your parents funeral...please say it at mine.
When
I must leave you
by
Helen Steiner Rice
When
I must leave you
for a little while,
Please do not grieve
and
shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
through the
years,
But start out bravely
with a gallant smile;
And for
my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same...
Feed
not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in
useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort
and in cheer
And
I in turn will comfort you
and hold you near;
And never, never
be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
A/N: Hope you liked the first chapter! Remember to review and let me know what you think!
