AN: Okay, so this is my first fanfiction and I know the prologue isn't very long, but I have planned for longer chapters. Also, I'd like to thank you for reading this and hope you bear with me as I get into my "writing mood". And reviews are always welcome. Thank You!

Disclaimer: One Tree Hill and its characters belong to some rich producer-people that are not me, therefore I own nothing. Depressing, huh?

Prologue

I closed the door behind myself and let them fall. I let the tears fall, the sobs escape my lips. I thought it was good, I thought desperately. I thought I'd done a great job. It didn't matter to my father.

It never mattered if I did something right anymore. All that mattered was that everything was my fault. Global Warming. War. Death. The loss of his job.

Maybe I'll get away one day, I thought as I carefully laid myself to bed. Maybe they'll come back. They're not supposed to be gone. They're supposed to protect me. Maybe if I sleep, I'll see them in the morning.

As I fell into another restless night of nightmares, once more crying myself to sleep, something in me knew that I was lying to myself.

My name is Haley James and every night I am haunted. Every day I am in pain. Tonight I must again face the truth.

They're never coming back.
