He grabbed the shot gun climbing down his window towards the woods. He had three trees cut a while back with just the bottoms on the trees not so he could practice shooting.

He found old beer bottles and some of Hoyt's beer cans around the tree. Sitting the cans down on the tree stumps he walked back to the rifle putting it in his hands he got ready to aim and fire.

He kept shifting for a while until the gun ran out.
Charlie was leaned up on a tree watching him
"You done?" He asked bowing some out from the cigarette in his hand

Nathan turned around looking at him
He walked closer towards Charlie smiling
"Hey you here to bring me back?"

Charlie chuckled shaking his head
"Nah I thought I sit here and talk with you for a bit." He said sitting on a tree stump

Nodding Nathan sat down beside him
"You know your very different then your father"
Charlie sighed looking up at the trees

Nathan looks at him
"Obviously, too different"

Charlie shook his head
"No I mean when your father was a kid
He was sensitive and let anyone push him around...you don't let anyone talk you down and you do let anyone push you down"
Nathan chuckled

"I feel more close to you then him at this point. I wish you were my dad not him" Nathan said

Thomas was behind a tree listening
He was gonna go and talk to his son but hearing what just came out of Nathan's made him understand how his son felt.

Anger flared up through his body. He was getting replaced by Hoyt. He wasn't gonna let that happen.

Turning around he went back towards the house.

Charlie shook his head at Nathan
"Your dad loves you, you know that.
I would never want you to replace your dad.
Nathan you speak to harsh about him. You don't know how difficult it is for him"

Nathan nodded
"I guess..but every time I mess up he pushes his anger out all on me" Nathan geared up a bit putting his head down

"There are a lot of things you don't know about him..he has reasons" Charlie said getting up

"Cmon- your Granmda is gonna get mad if we're not in for lunch" he oats Nathan's back as they start to walk back.

Nathan's heart beat faster as they headed inside the house. Y/n hair was up in a bun as she was slurping soup form a spoon
"Have fun?" He said softly

Nathan's nods a little before sitting down with his head down.

Deep Footsteps walked down stairs, Thomas large frame walked tot he table with taylor in his arms asleep. Nathan glanced before rolling his eyes turning too charlie.

Mama sat the food on the table and they all held hands to eat. Nathan loosely held Thomas hand.
Charlie glances to the two males before praying.

"So how was everyone's day?"
Mama said looking up breaking the awkward tension

Sorry for the short chapter.longer one will be done in two days.
