It was June of 2006 and Haley had finally come back to Tree hill a month before her senior class graduated. While back in Tree hill she caught up with a lot of things such as old times with Lucas, shopping with Brooke and just talking with Peyton. Then there was Nathan, her Nathan…God did they caught up on so much when she came home they even shared a few nights of passion with one another but sadly their time together would end after this summer due to the fact they were both going to two completely different colleges and they knew just like before a long distance relationship wouldn't work for them. So they both made a pact to make this summer a good one and hold on to every moment they shared and hope some how destiny would bring them back together in the future somehow.
It was the night after Graduation and everyone was getting ready to attend Nathan and Lucas graduation party
On the way to the party Haley went to pick up Nathan so they could arrive to the party together
Haley: lets go Nate….do you want to be late for your own party
Nathan runs out from his room and down his steps
Nathan: sorry, hay Hales come here real quick I want to show you something
Haley: This better be good cause your already 45 minutes late for your party and Deb wanted me to have you there early so you could greet people and then theirs your father and ill never get to hear the end of why you being late is all my fault.
Nathan: Hales ( he places his hand around her waist and looks at her) don't worry about them, im not even worrying about them right now all that's on my mind is us, but here look it.
( he pulls up his sleeve revealing a tattoo that has the name Haley in a heart)
Haley: Nathan….(Nathan cuts her off)
Nathan: wait Hales, you might think I'm crazy for getting this since after this summer we wont be seeing each other but there's a reason I got this…Remember when you got your tattoo and you told me you can always look back at it a time when you were extremely happy. Well with this tattoo I will always be able to remember the one girl, no the one person who made me the happiest I could ever be and made me fight to be a better person I am today. Lastly I can look back on this and remember a time when I was so in love that nothing in the world matter to me but you. Now I no a lot of stuff has change these past years our marriage our divorce me going away to basketball camp and you with your singing but one thing that will never change is the way I feel for you.
all Haley can do is grab Nathan and kiss him
Haley: Nathan that was beautiful but now there's something I have to tell you that I dreaded telling you since I came back. ( Haley takes a breath)
Nathan: tell me Hales, Whats up?
Haley: Well….
Ding dong ( door bell)
Haley : you should get that.
Nathan: not until you tell me what you had to say.
Ding Dong ( door opens its Lucas and peyton)
Lucas: Nathan where u at man?
Nathan: in here luke
Haley: Ill tell you what it is after your party
Natan: fine
( Lucas and Peyton come in )
Peyton: there you two are.
Lucas: hay man you no your already an hour late for our party and Dan's flipping out and Debs worried.
Nathan: I no, Me and Haley were just talking.
Haley: sorry, I should of called ya and told yas we were running late.
Lucas: its okay
Peyton: yeah but lets going before Nathan's parents send a search team out for him.
Lucas and Nathans Graduation party
Lucas and Peyton enter and go back sitting with Brooke Jake and mouth and Haley joins them
Dan walks over to where Nathan is getting something to drink and grabs his arm
Dan: whats this ( noticing the tattoo)
Nathan: its nothing, let go of my hand
Dan: o great you got that bitch tattoo on your arm she's leaving you after this summer Nathan.
Nathan: shut up dad I no that
Dan: no I don't think you do, when she was gone everything was right you got a scholarship cause you didn't have her to interfere with everything. Basketball was going great and now that she's back you missed your practice for next years team and you were even late for your own graduation party because of her.
Nathan: shut up you don't know what the fuck your talking about.
Dan: come on Nathan grow up what do you think your in love with her your to young to even no what love is.
Nathan: no Dad maybe your just to old to remember what love is. No what I wish last year your burned to death in that fire I wish Lucas never found you and rescued you cause I sware life would be so much easier without you.
( Nathan picks up his drink and walks away from dan, as Dan stares him down)
( walks over to Lucas, Peyton, Brooke ,Mouth , Jake,)
Nathan: hay where's Lucas and Haley?
Brooke: Haley had to go talk to Lucas about something, why whats wrong.
Nathan: nothing just go in a fight with my dad
Peyton: God he cant even be nice at his own sons Graduation party what an ass
Nathan: Tell me about it.
( outside of the party Haley sat on a step with Lucas)
Lucas: so what's up Hales, what is it that you have to tell me
Haley: uahh This Is so hard to say and right now I have no idea how to handle this.
Lucas: what is it Hales?
Haley : ( takes a breath) I just found out I'm pregnant.
Lucas: Well Nathans the father right?
Haley: of course Nathan is.
Lucas: well why are you so upset over this.
Haley: Lucas, why am I so upset, Well for one Nathan is going to college all the way in Boston. And me well as of last week, Ill be attending Community college in New Jersey while I live with Taylor.
Lucas: Haley you cant give up your scholarship you worked to hard for that.
Haley: Come on Lucas you think they want a 18 year old who just got recently knocked up on campus, I don't think so.
Lucas: Well maybe you can transfer to a school down here and Nathan could to and my me and mom will help out with the baby.
Haley: I can't let Nathan give up his scholarship he worked to hard for his, basketball his life I don't want to be the reason he gives it up. That's why I don't want him to find about me being pregnant.
Lucas: Haley you cant do that.
Haley: Luke I have to, I got to chase my dream of singing, now its Nathans turn I broke his heart once already and I refuse to do it again.
Lucas: But him not finding out your having his baby will kill him even more, he loves you Haley.
Haley: I no he does and I love him more then words could say but I have to do this and it hurts even worst to no I cant spend this summer with him either, since I have to leave tomorrow afternoon for New jersey since my job their starts soon.
Lucas: what your leaving tomorrow, Hales you can stay here work at the café this summer.
Haley: Lucas , no I can't the job im working in Jersey has benefits for me and the baby I need to be thinking about the baby right now and plus it pays more im sorry Lucas but I have to do this.
Lucas: Hales, when you planning on telling Nathan though?
Haley: sometime in the future when he's done with College and got his life figured out maybe then cause the last thing Nathan needs is a kid. But Luke you have to promise me you won't tell him I came to you because you're my best friend and I can trust you with my life and truthfully half the time your the only one who understands. ( she starts to cry)
Lucas : ( hugs Haley) Hales don't cry its alright, I promise I wont tell him just promise me you'll keep in touch and send me photos of you and the baby and one more thing promise me after Nathan does got his life figured out you will tell him cause you cant hide this secret from him the rest of his life.
Haley: promise luke. ( holds on to lucas tightly) thank you for everything luke.
Lucas: I love you Hales, you're my best friend
Haley: I love you to Luke.
Lucas sat there hugging Haley for about 5 min
Lucas: Hales, want to head back inside.
Haley: you go in, ill be in about 10 minutes I have to get myself together.
Lucas: okay, just hang in there okay hales.
Haley: thanks ( she smiles at him)
( Lucas heads back in )
( as Haley sits there thinking over her future her thoughts are interrupted by non other then Dan scott)
Dan: Haley Haley Haley…..you don't listen well do you?
Haley: Dan leave me alone, I did what you told me to do so beat it
Dan: No you didn't!...I told you what to tell everyone and that was that you were going to leave early this summer because of a family problem and you were transferring colleges and don't want to stay in contact cause its to hard for you. It was that simple but no you had to spill your guts to Lucas! And tell him the real reason why your leaving.
Haley: ( still has tears in her eyes from early) Dan I had to Lucas is my best friend I never lied to him and I don't plain on starting to now but I can trust him he wont tell Nathan I sware.
Dan: 0oh I no he wont cause ill be keeping my eye on him forever….cause I refuse to have your mistake destroy Nathan's future in college and especially with Basketball. Now I did promise you if you keep your mouth shut about the pregnancy I would send money to you for college and the babies every month and even give you a new care but since you betrayed my trust there wont be no car no money for college the only money ill be sending to you will be for my future grandchild and If this somehow gets to Nathan that your pregnant ill will bring your ass down so quick and somehow get custody of the baby. So you better leave after tonight you can say your good bye to Nathan but that's all then your gone and out of his life for good.
Haley: ( now in tears again) : Dan you're an asshole, ( she spit in his face)
( Haley got up from the step and moved away from Dan and back inside the party)
Dan: (screaming) Don't expect shit from me now your little bitch
Haley walked back inside the party getting a quick arm wrap her waist by Nathan, he gave her a kiss on the check
Nathan: ( pulled back) You okay? Your checks are all flushed and wet…have you been crying?
Haley: ( whipping her face) just a little, I just cant believe we just graduated its just hitting me you know ( lying to Nathan)
Nathan: ( not fully believing her) okay, well be happy that we got each other for this whole entire summer.
Haley: yeah that's what I been meaning to …. ( Haley gets interrupt by the Dj)
DJ: well were going to slow it down for a little with a little Blaque "when the last tear drop falls" this one is actually a special request for Nathan and Haley by Nathan's brother and Haley's best friend Lucas.
Nathan: ( grabbing Haley's hand) come on this is our moment.
( Haley wrapped her arms tightly around Nathan's neck wishing they could stay like this forever as he pulled her close and whispered in her ear as the song began)
Nathan: I love you Haley
IT'S SO HARD TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE
TO FINALLY HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU TRY TO BE STRONG, BUT THE PAIN KEEPS HOLDING ON
AND ALL THAT YOU CAN DO IS CRY
Haley: don't say that nate
Nathan: why not Haley….i mean it I do love you
Haley: Don't make this hard on me nate.
Nathan: Hard on you…what are you talking about Hales.
Haley: It kills me to say this.( starts to fill up with tears)
Nathan: Haley what's going on, stop crying
DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON
WHEN THE FAIRY TALE THAT YOU ONCE KNEW, IS GONE
Haley: Nate after tonight I'm leaving for good.
Nathan: what are you talking about Haley.
Haley: I'm movie to New jersey with Taylor, I decided to go to college there and I need money and I got a job ready for me there already and I'm going to need a place to live and Taylor needs a roommate right about now , so I have to leave for college, the money , and taylor. ( rambling on)
Nathan: But what about us Haley, have you even thought about us?

Haley: ( mumbling to herself) if you only knew how much I was doing this for you.
Nathan: what did you say?
Haley: nuttin
Nathan: well we can still talk to each other on the phone I guess.
Haley: That's just it….i want to stop talking to you also…its just to hard for me Nate….if I keep talking to you ill hold on to the past and we both need to move on.
Nathan: move on haley? (angry now) I cant move on from you I tried before and I just cant do it.

Haley exited the dance floor refusing to look back but could feel Nathan's eyes on her the whole time as she left….a few more tears came down Haley's checks as she thought about life without Nathan and how horrible she felt not letting him know he was about to be a father but she kept telling herself she was doing the right thing although she couldn't get herself to believe that this was the right thing to do
