Derek had offered a spot to plant Issac's tree which overlooked the river, Renee, Derek and Mark stood there looking at the small heap of mud in which they had planted the seed and the ashes. Mark and Derek stood on either side of Renee as she continued to stare at it, she blinked furiously trying to push the tears away.
"You can cry you know," Derek said as he ran his hand over her head.
"I know, I just don't want to cry anymore,"
"You don't have too," Mark said.
"He was-He became my rock you know, I ran away to England after finding of you and Addison, it became too much to handle, he tried convincing me to forgive you or call you, I couldn't. He was there for me all the time, just a call away," Renee whispered as Derek rubbed her back comforting her.
