It was extraordinary how thing's could change so quickly. The sobbing audience mourning the death of his uncle, or should he say true father? Then Lucas stood in front of everyone, reading of a crumpled piece of paper and he couldn't even get through it all. It seemed Dan Scott had got to him again, causing Lucas to crack under the immense pressure he had been hiding from everyone but Brooke. She had been their, she could back him up…couldn't she?

"Dan Scott…killed Keith."

Gasps and shocked faces appeared amongst the crowd, Dan and Nathan both leapt up towards Lucas and dragged him away. Karen stood in front of Keith's casket, a shameful expression battered over her eyelids. The woman was not sure what to believe any more. Of course she loved her son to bit's, but why would Dan murder his own brother? Even he wouldn't go that far…would he? She felt a hand appear on her arm and she looked across her to see the beautiful face of Brooke. Both girls' were puffy eyed and exhausted; they embraced for a few moments as Keith's coffin was lowered into the ground. A fountain of tears streamed from her eyes, Karen was finally loosing him. This was the last time she could say good bye to him and it hurt so much. Karen Roe felt her heart shatter; the only thing keeping her from falling to the floor was Brooke beside her.

Lucas lashed out at Dan, never before had Nathan seen his elder brother worked up. It wasn't true, it really couldn't be. His father wasn't a murdered and surely he had no intention of killing his own brother. Nate knew he could never kill Lucas; he wasn't strong enough to do that under any circumstances. Nathan grabbed his brother's hand as he tried to hit Dan.

"Lucas calm down man." Lucas span round to face him, his crystal blue eyes were so hurt and the teen looked so vulnerable in his suit. This really wasn't happening was it? Seeing the pleading expression his elder brother gave him, Nathan took a step back and dropped Lucas' arm. It seemed their was nothing left he could do to stop Lucas.

Dan glared at his eldest son, the 'accident' child. How he hated him so much, it seemed Lucas had a passion for trying to ruin everything he did. Perhaps he had a part to play in the plot to kill me too; I wouldn't put it past Keith and him… Dan grabbed his arm again, in an attempt to calm the Luke down. Luke swung round to face him, literally fuming.

"Get the hell of me Dan, before I do something we will both regret!" Dan did that cheesy grin, that smile that wound both Scott brother's up so much. "But Lukey, surely if you think I am a murderer you wouldn't dare touch me." Then he leant in and whispered in the blonde's ear, "I might just have to kill you too."

Lucas pulled away, pushing Dan away from him. He was panting and physically shaking everywhere, he needed to get away from Dan. It seemed no one believed him and Dan was out to kill him too. How fun that would be, battling his own father for life or death. Great. Lucas was shouting, shouting so loud the whole ceremony could here him.

"Dan, you're a murderer and I… I hate you. You took the best thing that ever happened to my mum all because you were jealous. Why? All I want to know is why?" Lucas fell to his knees, shaking all over. His eyes were distant as Nathan ran towards his brother. The two needed to get away from Dan as soon as they could. Nathan shot his father a confused look.

"Dad… leave man. Just go…"

The two girls were sat in the car, Haley in the driving seat and Brooke in the passenger seat. The two were stunned to say the least; it wasn't everyday Lucas Scott broke down like that.

"Brooke… you know something don't you." The brunette stayed silent, wondering how the girl had figured it out. "Brooke…" She continued, practically pleading.

"I…he…we. We were in the school and the bomb went off…" Her voice was shaky and she grasped Haley's hand for strength to keep going. "I crawled over to Lucas because he was in so much pain, and…and we were looking out of the door when we saw Dan with the gun in his hand… then he fired it." Haley's mouth dropped open; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"No… you're…your not kidding. Why didn't you say anything?"

"I don't know. Lucas and I, we never really talked about it."

"Oh My God…" Haley exclaimed. "We need to get to Lucas, before Dan does…"
