Hi guys! I hope you liked Ch3, I'm sorry it was kind of short and only on Haley's POV, but I still hope you guys enjoyed. Well, here's CH 4, hope you like it! R&R!?
Nathan's POV;
I couldn't believe I had actually let Lucas convince me to come back to the house. I knew I had to be their for Haley, Jamie, and Tyler…but I just didn't know if I could, because they needed me to be strong…but I couldn't, not now. Peyton had gone upstairs to tell Haley I was back, but she only came back with Jamie. To be honest, I was kind of glad, I couldn't face Haley…not yet.
"Daddy!" Jamie said running towards me as fast as possible. I picked him up, and hugged him closely. Over the past few weeks I hadn't seen much of him, Tyler, or Allie. Since me and Haley…separated, I had only got to spend a few days with them, since the accident, I don't think I had seen them at all.
"I really missed you daddy." He said whispering into my ear.
"I missed you too Jamie, so much." I meant it. He had no idea how much I had missed him.
Brooke's POV;
I watched as father and son exchanged a much needed hug. I knew how much they were all hurting, and they all needed each other. My mind kept going back to when I had tried to talk to Tyler…the look in his eyes…it was hard to even look at him. Then there was Haley…Allie was her baby, I honestly didn't know if she would over be okay, or the same.
"Hey Nate." I said as I walked up to him, as he was putting Jamie back down.
"Hey Brooke."
"Daddy, do you want me to go get mommy? I think she'll want to see you." Jamie said.
He couldn't quite understand what Nathan and Haley were going through, and what other problems were going on with them.
"Uh, that's okay Jim- Jam, I'll try talking to her later. How about you go look for Tyler, tell him I'm here."
"Okay." He said, and ran off to find his brother.
"Speaking of Tyler, um, have to talked to him at all Nate…since the accident?" I asked.
"No…" he said. I could tell he was ashamed with himself.
"Nathan listen to me. I have no idea what your going through, or Tyler, or Jamie, and especially not Haley…but I know you guys are hurting, and you need each other Nate. You need to help each other through this, or else nothing, nothing will ever be okay again." I said trying to help, again.
"Brooke…you understand. Nothing can ever get back to normal, not without Allie, not without my little girl." He said, and walked off.
Jamie's POV;
I had looked all over the house for Tyler, and I still couldn't find him. He wasn't with mommy, he wasn't in his room…the tree house! I ran outside to the backyard and stopped in front of the pool. I really missed Allie…why did she have to go by the pool, she knew she couldn't swim without her floaties. I wiped away my tear as fast as I could. I wanted to be a big boy, like Tyler and daddy, I had never seen them cry. I climbed up the ladder to the tree house and saw Tyler sitting in the corner.
"Hi." I said.
"Jamie, I kind of just want to be alone okay." He said. Whenever Tyler was sad he would get mad, just like daddy. I didn't really get it, why couldn't he just be sad like me, or mommy.
"Daddy's here, he wants to talk to you." When I said that, he finally looked up at me.
"Listen Jamie I don't want to talk to him! I don't want to talk to anyone, so please just leave me alone!" Tyler said. He was really mad. I guess I should just leave him alone. I slowly went back down the ladder, and stopped in front of the pool again.
"Allie…why did you have to go away..."
Lucas's POV;
Now that I had finally got Nathan to come back, I figured I could try to talk to Haley. I didn't think she had talked to anyone at all accept Tyler and Jamie. Brooke had tried, Peyton, my mom, and Deb. She wouldn't talk, she wouldn't say one word to them. I figured me being her best friend, she might open up to me. I walked down the hall, to Allie's room, Jamie had told me she was in there. I slowly walked up to the door, and knocked on it lightly.
"Hey buddy." I said walking in, and sitting on the edge of the bed. It was hard even for me being in Allie's room…I had no idea how Haley could stand it.
"Hales…" I said placing my hand on her arm.
She didn't answer, but at least she didn't pull away.
"Nathan, he's here Haley, if you want to talk to him…"
"And why would I want to talk to him?" she said angrily finally speaking.
"You want me to talk to the man that took my daughters life away Lucas?" she said with tears in her eyes. She blamed him…she blamed Nathan, but she couldn't mean it.
"Haley…I know your hurting, but so is Nathan." I said. I knew I had to be careful with my words.
"He sent her outside Luke! He told her to go and play, he said he'd be out there! But he never went… then we we're fighting, and I forgot she went outside…Lucas its all our fault!" Haley cried. I looked at her, finally understanding how guilty she was feeling, how guilty Nathan must be feeling.
"Oh Hales, don't say that, this is not your fault, this is not Nathan's fault." I said pulling Haley into my arms.
"It's my fault Lucas, I sent Nathan away, I didn't let him come home…she would be alive Luke, she would be with me!" Haley said crying even harder.
I didn't know what to say, how could I help her through this…
Nathan's POV;
I walked around the house, trying to get all the memories out of my mind. This house knew too much, the good and the bad. I wondered how much longer all these people were going to be around, they made it all feel even worse. I walked into the kitchen, and saw Jamie sitting at the table.
"Hey Jim-Jam."
"Hi daddy." He said.
"Have you seen Tyler around?" I asked. I knew I needed to talk to him.
"Uh…well…" Jamie said. I instantly knew he was lying, he wasn't exactly the best liar.
"Jamie…"
"Well he's in the tree house, but please don't tell him I told you, he's mad."
"I won't buddy, don't worry."
"Thanks dad."
"No problem. Hey Jamie, I'm sorry I wasn't their…at Allie's funeral, I just…I'm sorry." I said.
"It's okay daddy,...but I think you should say that to mommy and Tyler."
I walked into the backyard trying to avoid looking at the pool. I knew she couldn't swim…and then I sent her to play by the pool, god I was an idiot. I should have just played with her like she wanted me too…none of this would have happened.
When I finally dragged myself away from the pool, I started climbing up the ladder to the tree house. I'll never forget the day I finally finished it, I had actually something good as a father.
Flashback;
"Hey guys, I'm done. The tree house is done." I said walking into the kitchen seeing my family making lunch.
"It's done!" Tyler, Jamie, and Allie all yelled at once as they ran to the backyard.
"Good job Mr. Handyman." Haley said walking up to me and kissing me.
"Thanks, let's go check it out." I said as we headed for the backyard.
"Woah, dad, this is awesome!" Tyler said climbing up the ladder.
"It is dad! Good job!" Allie said playing in the tire swing.
"Anything for my kids."
"Mom, dad, can we sleep here tonight!? That would be so cool!" Jamie said excitedly.
"Uh, I don't know…" Haley said.
"Please momma!" Allie said with her big blue eyes staring up at Haley. I knew it was going to be a yes now.
"Okay…fine. But if you guys get scared, no running to mommy and daddy's room okay?" she said jokingly.
"Sweet!" They said, and started playing in their brand new tree house.
End of Flashback;
When I finally reached the top of the ladder, I looked in and saw Tyler in the tree house playing with a basketball in his hands.
"Hey buddy." I said sitting down next to him.
He kept playing with the ball in his hands not looking up. I noticed it was the basketball Allie and Jamie had bought for him for his last birthday.
"Listen Tyler…" I said trying to put my hand on his shoulder, but he pulled away.
"What do you want!?" he yelled.
"I wanted to say…I was sorry. Sorry for not being their for you, Jamie, and your mom at Allie's funeral. I just couldn't…" I said.
"I don't care." He said still avoiding my eyes.
"I know this is hard buddy, and I know how you're feeling…"
"No you don't… you have no idea."
"Yeah I do…"
"NO YOU DON'T! IT'S MY FAULT DAD! IT'S ALL MY FAULT. ALLIE DIED BECAUSE OF ME! BECAUSE I LEFT HER ALONE…" Tyler said finally letting it all out, all the guilt.
Tyler's POV;
Flashback;
I woke up to the sound of little foot steps walking into my room. It wasn't a surprise, I usually woke up to that every night.
"Yes Allie." I said not lifting my head up from my warm pillow.
"Daddy's here!" she said jumping on to my bed.
"Huh?" I said finally lifting my head up.
"He's here Ty, downstairs talking to momma. Let's go down stairs, I was going to get Jamie, but he's sick so he needs sleep."
"Allie, I think mommy and daddy need to talk, just…don't go downstairs." I really wanted to go downstairs to see my dad too, but I had a feeling momma and him were going to fight…and I didn't want to see that.
"But Tyler…." She wined.
"Allie, just don't okay."
"Fine!" she said and ran back to her room.
"Girls…" I said, and laid back down.
End of Flashback;
"See dad…it's all my fault! I should have gone downstairs! I should have been their for her…" Allie's death was all my fault.
