Luke and Peyton are left wondering what happened to their exes. Brathan, Leyton

I own nothing but the story idea…..

Brooke looked at the bright glowing clock on her radio, it was 3 in the morning and she knew that no one was up. Slowly getting up to make no noise she threw her sweatshirt on and shoes. She picked up the remaining bags that she hadn't put in the car yet and took off. She ran down the street to where she parked her car so her parents wouldn't hear the noiseand started the car turning and going towards Nathan's apartment. She had to tell someone she was leaving and the only one who wouldn't tell Lucas, Peyton, or Haley for that matter would be Nathan.

Scurring up the stairs to Nathan's she lightly knocked on the door. Minutes later a very tired Nathan appeared at the door rubbing his eyes. Brooke stood there and waited for him to look at her.

"Davis what are you doing here at 3 in the morning?"

"I'm here to tell you that I'm leaving Tree Hill."

"What?" He asked fully awake now.

"I'm leaving Tree Hill and I just wanted to tell you 'cause you won't tell them."

"Just tell me where you're going?"

"I don't know yet." He stepped out into the chilly early morning air leaving the door slightly ajar.

"Why are you leaving?"

"No one wants me here anymore so I'm just gonna leave so I'm not a burden anymore. I know people will cheer when I'm gone." She struggled not to cry, she hadn't expected Nathan to be so caring. She expected him not to care to just say whatever and turn away.

"Maybe a fresh start won't hurt, when you finally decide where you're going let me know so I know you're safe." Brooke nodded and gave into temptation kissing Nathan. She turned and scurried down the stairs leaving Nathan confused trying to figure what happened. Feeling the cool breeze Nathan briskly walked back into the apartment falling back onto his bed instantly falling asleep.

The next day Brooke woke up in her crummy hotel that she checked into at 5 this morning. She had driven the hour long drive to Raleigh and she still didn't think it was far enough from all the people who broke her heart and all the people that talked about her. She woke up that morning to a program on TV saying that Panic! at the Disco was going to be in Boston soon and that's when Brooke decided that she would go to Boston. She ran out of her room only stopping for flip-flops and her room key before running down tothe internet café she saw when she pulled in.

She paid and sat down at the computer with her latte excited at where she would makeher new home. As she waited for the page to load Brooke text Nathan, Hey Nate I've decided where I'm going…I'll tell you when everything's all set but if you wanna come then get ready…Brooke. After she plugged everything in on map quest she decided to check for apartments in the Boston area. Her father had set her up with a big chuck of change in her savings account that she hoped would cover something for an apartment. She printed off everything she needed she rushed back to her hotel room. Dialing the number of the realtor dealing with the place Brooke found she waited for someone to answer pacing the small length of the room.

"Hello Huntington Realty Natalie speaking how can I help you?"

"Hi my name is Brooke Davis and I saw an ad for an apartment in Boston."

"Well I'll need you to be more specific."

"Um…the one on the outskirts of town on Nestler Rd."

"Ah, that one so would you like to see the apartment?"

"Yes but I'm driving up from Raleigh so the earliest I can be there is tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright how about we meet there at 5?"

"Works for me."

"I'll look forward to meeting you tomorrow."

"Thank you." Brooke hung up and quickly gathered her things scurrying off to make it to Boston by 4 tomorrow. She grabbed her phone and quickly sent Nathan a txt message telling him where she wasgoingbefore speeding off to her new home.

Nathan Scott thought about Brooke since she left him speechless earlier that morning. He knew that he had to get away from the memories of Haley and from the gruesome twosome so following Brooke's message he told his landlord he was leaving and packed up all of his stuff now all he had to do waswait for was the message telling him where he was going. As if on cue his phone vibrated and Nathan quickly picked it up. Meet me in Boston on Friday Brooke. Nathan snapped his phone shut and immediately called Brooke's cell.

"Hey Nathan, get my message?"

"Yeah are you sure about Boston?"

"You don't have to come, I just thought that you would want to escape from hell."

"I do but Boston?"

"It's the farthest place I could think of, I found an apartment and the realtor's gonna show me it tomorrow afternoon. So are you coming or not?"

"I'm coming."

"How are you gonna get there?"

"Don't worry just give me the address of the place and I'll meet you there Friday."

"Alright, I have to go but I'll see you Friday."

"Yeah see ya Friday." He hung up and starred at the phone in his hands. Was he really running off to Boston to be with Brooke? The thought of leaving made him happy, he couldturn over a new leaf. He just had to leave without anymore seeing him. He called his mother who was currently in West Virginia.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom its Nathan."

"Nathan what's wrong?"

"Could you loan me some money?"

"Why what's wrong honey?"

"You would want me happy right?"

"Of course Nathan. What are you getting at?"

"I'm going to Boston."

"What! Why?"

"I have to get out of Tree Hill mom." Nathan pleaded sounding almost desperate.

"Alright how much do you need?" Nathan calculated the costs in his head his finger moving through the air.

"4,000 dollars." He simply stated hoping she would just hand over the money no questions asked.

"Alright I'll wire it right now. I hope you know what you're doing."

"I do mom and trust me I'll pay you back." She hung up and immediately sent him the money he needed hoping that he was happy. After Nathan had his money he started packing his stuff well the important stuff that is, the rest he would leave for the next person. After setting up a moving company to move his furniture except the bed, that held way too memories for Nathan to take, he looked around his apartment preparing for his new life.

The day before Nathan was to leave to join Brooke in Boston, Peyton Sawyer sat in her bedroom drawing when Luke walked in. She smiled and hugged her boyfriend her smile vanishing when she looked at Luke's sad face.

"What's wrong?"

"Brooke's gone."

"What?"

"She left, took off in the middle of the night."

"Does anyone know where she is?" Luke shook his head no staring at the floor underneath him. "Someone has to know."

"Who? She didn't tell her parents, my mom, you, Haley, Nathan, Mouth, or Bevon. I don't know who else she would tell."

"Maybe she told Nathan or something."

"Yeah maybe I'll ask him tomorrow." Little did they know that Nathan wouldn't be there the next day.

Alright so that's the first chapter…..I hope you guys enjoyed it and tell me what you think!
