Part 4: Chapter 1
In Jamie's dream, Jamie and Dan were walking down the beach talking.
"I'm so sorry about the abusive coach Jamie," Dan said. "I never wanted you to go through something like that."
"It's okay Grandpa Dan," Jamie said.
"It really isn't," Dan said. "You know, I pushed your father too hard. I was abusive to him just like that coach was abusive to you. I'm glad you got out before it got worse."
"Me too," Jamie said. "I love you Grandpa Dan."
"I love you too Jamie," Dan said.
Jamie and Dan shared a hug and Dan began to cry.
"Grandpa Dan," Jamie said. "What's wrong?"
"I have to go," Dan said. "My visitation is over. I have to leave you now."
"But Grandpa Dan," Jamie said. "I miss you so much. Please don't go yet. There's so much I want to talk to you about."
"Don't worry Jamie," Dan said. "I promise I'll visit you again someday. Goodbye my grandson."
"Please don't go!" Jamie begged.
Dan kissed his grandson on the forehead.
"Bye Jamie," Dan said.
"Jamie," Lucas said. "Wake up."
Jamie woke up to see Lucas standing at his bedside.
"Uncle Lucas," Jamie said. "Where's Daddy?"
"He went to New York," Lucas replied. "Brooke and Quinn were able to rescue your mother and Chris. The abductor has been arrested."
"That's great," Jamie said. "When are Mommy and Daddy coming home?"
"Well Chris was hit by a cab," Lucas replied.
"What?!" Jamie shouted.
"He's in the hospital," Lucas said. "But the doctors say he'll be fine. Nothing's broken but they just want to keep him overnight for observation. They'll be home tomorrow."
"I'm so happy," Jamie said. "I feel like a giant weight has been lifted."
"Me too," Lucas said. "Now that that's out way, sit up."
Jamie sat up and Lucas sat next to him.
"Cocaine?!" Lucas shouted.
"Oh," Jamie said. "You found out?"
"Yes!" Lucas shouted. "Your father told me. I'm so disappointed!"
"I'm sorry," Jamie said. "I deserve to be yelled at."
"Jamie," Lucas said in a calmer tone. "Look, you're not just my nephew. You're my best friend. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Please promise me right now that you'll never do drugs again."
"I promise," Jamie said.
"Now give me a hug," Lucas said.
Jamie and Lucas shared a hug. Afterward, Jamie lied back down on his bed. Lucas lied down next to his nephew.
"I know our last conversation on the phone consisted of me screaming at you," Lucas said. "I promise that I'll call more often and we'll have nice conversations."
"Thank you Uncle Lucas," Jamie said. "I'd like that."
"And you're always welcome to call me if you ever need to talk," Lucas said.
"Thank you Uncle Lucas," Jamie said.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Jamie said.
Sophia came into the room and Jamie and Lucas sat up.
"Hello Sophia," Jamie said.
"Hi Jamie," Sophia said. "I came to see how you were."
"I'm great," Jamie said. "Thank you."
"He's more than great," Lucas said. "He's James Lucas Scott."
"Oh," Sophia said. "You must be Jamie's Uncle Lucas. You look so much alike. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"You as well," Lucas said.
"So Jamie," Sophia said. "I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk in the park."
"Sure," Jamie said getting up. "Just let me get my shoes on."
Lucas stood up and embraced his nephew tightly.
"Uncle Lucas!" Jamie shouted. "You're embarrassing me!"
"Be super careful Jamie Luke!" Lucas said. "Uncle Lucas doesn't want anything to happen to his little nephew!"
"Stop!" Jamie shouted.
"What's that?" Lucas said. "Kiss you on the forehead?"
"No!" Jamie screamed as Lucas kissed him on the forehead.
Lucas let go of his nephew and Jamie quickly put on his shoes.
"Come on Sophia," Jamie said as he quickly led Sophia downstairs.
Lucas followed his nephew and jokingly taunted him.
"Don't be out too late!" Lucas jokingly shouted as Jamie and Sophia walked out the door. "Uncle Lucas loves his Jamie Luke!"
As the door shut, Lucas looked over to the couch where his wife was sitting.
"Are you trying to embarrass him?" Peyton asked.
"Of course I am," Lucas said.
"High five!" Peyton shouted holding up her hand.
