Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or The Vampire Diaries. Nor do I own any of the songs that I may use. The only thing I do own are the future characters that I may bring in and my own storyline.

Author's Note: I am back guys! With another story this time. I had this idea in my head and I was browsing all the crossover stories hoping to see something interesting between this couple and Nada. I love love love the idea of a Brooke & Stefan pairing. It will eventually (a ways into the story, not realistic to jump into it so fast) be Brooke & Stefan. But for now they are with their respectable mates. Sorry it's so short but I just wanted to get a feel for it. I have some chapters already written but reviews are always appreciated. So let me know what you think and if I should continue. Thank you! On with the story..

P.S. The title of my story is a song title by Plumb, great song, great inspiration, and just how I see Brooke & Stefan! This story is completely AU although at some points there will sporadically include parts of what happened on the tv shows.

6 more hours to go, just 6 more. I can do this.

"I can do this." I chant to myself, obviously since there is no one else in the car with me. I've been driving for the past 4 hours, alone in the car, by myself. Okay I think we've established the fact that I'm alone and have been for a while now.

When my parents told me they were moving to California just a few months prior I thought my world would end. That meant leaving all my friends and the home I spent the last 17 years of my life in behind. But when Lucas...

"Oh Luke" I mutter to myself.

Anyway when he surprised me with all my things in his room and his door painted the color red I was shocked, to say in the least. I got to stay with him. I was ecstatic to have another chance to bond with the boy that I gave my heart to. And we did, we had a wonderful time together, I got to know him better in that short amount of time than I did the whole time we were dating. That is until I found the box. The box containing letters, photos, mementos, everything that has/had to do with Peyton.

That one little box that came tumbling down brought my world right along with it. While I surveyed all the spilled contents I felt my heart along with my trust start to slip away from me too. I was right back where I was when we had broken up, probably worse. Back then I had anger to dull my pain. Now I only had pain and insecurities. Which is a lot worse for me considering the fact that I was once the most confident girl in all of Tree Hill.

Then he had to go and rock it a little more by telling me he loved me right before I was to leave. How can you do that to a girl? If he really loved me then why does he still have all those reminders of Peyton? Maybe he's just confused. But we were getting so close. I really thought there was a chance for us. Maybe there still is. A girl can hope right? After all you can't just flip a switch that turns off your love for someone in a snap. Which means I'm in a dilemma. I still love him, I know that for a fact but I don't love the girl that I am so much right now.

So when I got the call of a lifetime to intern for the summer with Teen Vogue magazine in New York City I jumped on it. I mean who wouldn't right? Especially if your an up and coming fashion designer like myself. Well I will be an up and coming fashion designer.

Which is why I am sitting in this car heading to New York City. To gain my confidence and the girl behind the red door back.

A/N: So there it is. I hope you all enjoyed it. Please hit that review button and let me know your thoughts on it and to see if I should continue or not. Thanks!
