Chapter 11.

Fathers & sons' day.

2 weeks later. Fathers' & Sons' Day.

Nathan came in his bedroom, he opened his locker and searched for a box. He found it, took it and opened it. Inside a outfit blue, black and white. He took it unfolding. There was his name "Scott" on the back and the number 23. He smiled remembering when he was in high school and especially when Ravens won the last match of the championship. He put the shirt into the box again and closed it.

Flashback
Nathan was driving. Haley had accepted to let him Tyler all the day. Nathan looked at the review mirror then he saw Tyler staring into space.
"Are you okay?" Nathan finally asked to break the silence.
Tyler looked at him through the mirror.
"Yeah. Where are we going?"
"Somewhere I would like to show you..."
The silence settled again, but Tyler said.
"Guys of the team wanted to ask you if we could participate to the championship."
"Would you be ready?"
"If you train us, yes."
Nathan smiled. "Yeah, I'd like to."
"Wanna play?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah... You first."
"I'm think about something... green... where there are holes."
Nathan grinned. "A golf course."
"Right. Your turn."
"I'm think about... something... brown... and..."
"A chocolate ice cream with a chocolate sauce above."
They laughed and carried on to play until they arrived.
Flashback.

 Nathan smiled. He went down, the box in his hands. He checked his watch. 1 pm. He threw a look into the living-room where Sarah was sitting reading.
"I'm going to the school. I'd forgotten something." He lied.
"Now?"
"Yeah..." He went to open the door suddenly he froze.
"Hello!!"
Oh my god.. no... He thought.
William Lewis, Sarah's father, a rich californian man who ownes 55 L.A Lackers's shares and who was overprotective with his dear daughter, and Nancy Lewis, Sarah's mother, very nice, very attentive and still helping the others, were standing in front of Nathan. They held their luggages and a plant.
Another one... great... He thought exasperate.
"What are you doing here?" He finally succeed to say.
"We wanted to do a surprise to our daughter and to our son-in-law-to-be."
Son... in... law... to... be... only that words made him sick.
"Great!" He lied. He smiled, trying to be sincere.
They came in, pushing Nathan a little and giving him the plant. Nathan sighed and rolled his eyes. Sarah's parents disappeared in the living-room to greet their daughter. Nathan put the plant and his box on the floor. Nathan checked his watch. "God I'm gonna be late..." He took a deep breathe and joined them.
"Sorry.. I've to go..."
Sarah stared at him. "You kidding... You're not going there right now... mom and dad have just arrived. You'll go tomorrow, Nate... Please." She stared at him again. He could read in her gaze she was preventing him to go there. He sighed.

Flashback
Nathan parked the car near to Rivercourt. Tyler went out of the car. Nathan was amazed by this boy. He looked like him so much.
"Wanna play?" Nathan asked looking at Tyler who was reading what was writen on the ground. Nathan grabbed the ball which was into the truck and moved to him.
"Here is mine..." He said showing a signature.
"There's no mom..."
"She wasn't there anymore when we made it..." Nathan realized how many things he had missed... Haley had been alone...
"Nathan..."
"Yeah?"
"Can I call you dad?"
Nathan felt his heart bounce, he felt the smile which was drawing on his lips too. "I'd like to..." Tyler nodded and grabbed the ball, beginning to dribble.
Flashback.

Robert put his hand on Nathan's shoulder. "How are you?"
"Fine..." He nodded. Suddenly, Nathan's cell phone rang. He smiled to Sarah, Nancy and Robert one by one and went to take his phone. But Sarah arrived before him and took it.
"Nate... please..." She said, insisting.
"Give me my phone, Sarah." She pushed the button. The phone stopped ringing. Nathan sighed. Sarah returned to sit next to her parents. Nathan took his cell phone to check who had called. Haley cell. He sighed and checked his watch again.
"Have you an appointment Nate?" Nancy asked.
He looked at her. "Ye..."
"No... I'd just forgotten something at the school. But it's not urgent." Sarah answered.
Nathan felt anger increasing inside him. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Nathan sighed and went to open.
"Oh no."
"Hello Buddy." Dan said, grinning.

Flashback
Nathan shot and scored. "Hey buddy. Catch it." Nate said to Tyler. Tyler ran and caught the ball, he jumped a little and shot to score.
"Excellent. Give me five!" Nathan smiled to Tyler. "Come I'd like to show you something else."
Tyler grabbed the ball then they got into the car. They went to Whitey Durham Field House.
"Where are we?"
"Where I spent all my time... We won the championship here."
"It's where you trained?"
"Yeah..."
They came in the building. Nathan walked to the center of the field. He looked around. Everything was like before.
"Dad?"
Nathan faced him. He was calling him. Dad...
"Yes?"
He hesitated and shook his head. "Nothing. I wanted to know how it was..."
"And how is it?"
"Fun... but I like it..." Nathan smiled. He put his hand on Tyler's shoulder. "Me too."
Flashback

"Tell me it's a joke..."
Dan came in. "No... Where's my daughter-in-law?" He disappeared in the living-room with a big smile. Nathan slapped the door.
"Crap."
Nathan joined them. He took his cell phone. "Be right back." Nathan went to the kitchen and dialed Hales' number. He waited.
"Hi! You're on Haley's cell phon. I'm busy... so ... call back or let your message. See ya!" He smiled hearing her voice. Bip!
"Haley... it's me... I'm gonna be late... I do my best, to be there as soon as possible... My father has just turned up suddenly at my place and also Sarah's parents."
He paused. "Tell to Tyler, I'll be there. See ya." He hung down. He turned and saw Nancy.
"Everything's okay?"
"Yeah."
He went back to the living-room, letting his cell phone on the counter.

Flashback.
Nathan was driving. They went home.
"Thank you for the day, dad."
"Welcome... I liked it."
"Me too." He paused. "Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Wanna come with at Fathers & sons' party?"
Nathan smiled. "I hoped you ask it."
Tyler nodded. "Great."
Nathan breathed deeply. He was ready... to be a good father now and take advantage of moments he would spend with Tyler. He had a son. My son...
Flashback.

1 hours later.
Nathan looked at the clock. It was too late. His father and Robert was talking about basketball, the lastest scores of Nathan and of Lackers. Sarah looked at Nathan.
"What's going on?"
"You want to know... I'm bored. I'm bored to listen to you and to see your parents and my father. I've something else to do." Nathan stood up and went to the kitchen. He took his cell phone.
"Yeah?"
"Haley..."
"I didn't think you would do that, Nathan..."
"I'm sorry..."
"He counted on you..."
"I know... Tell him i'm coming right now."
"It's not necessary. He doesn't want to participate anymore. I tried, Nathan..."
"I'm coming..."
"Actually no... I don't want you to come." She hung down. Nathan sighed. He had to go right now. He turned and froze seeing Sarah.
"Are you okay?"
"No..."
He grabbed his cell phone, his keys and went out, slapping the door.

Flashback
Nathan parked the car in front of Haley's house. He walked there with Tyler next to him. They looked at each other.
"Will you come?
"I will. I swear you."
"Thank you, daddy." Nathan knelt in front of him and they hugged. "Go... Mom is waiting for you."
Tyler smiled and came in. Nathan returned to his car, still looking at the house. A milion of thought travelled in his mind.
Flashback.

Nathan parked the car in front of the school. He saw Haley.
"Haley!"
She stared at him.
"I told you to not come."
"I want to see him."
"You want to see him?" She sighed exasperate. "Why? Why did you swear?" She paused. "Nathan... He didn't his father and now he knows you... you disappoint him. What do you think he's thinking right now?"
"I couldn't come before I'm sorry... "
"Stop to be sorry..." She shook her head and joined a group of kids. Nathan crossed his fingers in his hair, looking up at the sky. He moved a little to see the show. Then he saw him, sitting alone on a bench. Nathan moved and sat next to him.
"I'm stupid."
Tyler didn't move. He didn't talk.
"I know you don't want to talk to me... but I want to tell you how much I'm sorry..."
Tyler finally moved to stare at him.
"Don't worry, Nathan. I begin to know you..."
Nathan... He was a looser... a looser it was all he was. "Tyler..."
Tyler stood up and left. Nathan stayed on the bench. He lowered his head, buring his head in his hands.
