Chapter One

A tall, slender, red haired beauty walks pacing up and down a college dormitory hall with a worried look on her flawless face after nearly an hour of this she opens a door with a huge white board that reads "Go Blue Devils Basketball, We Love Our Number 23". She walks in cautiously and sits down on a small single bed that looks like it has just been slept in , she surveys the room just as she has done a million times before but this time making sure to remember every inch as if she would never darken the doorway again.

There is a loud noise outside the door as if something has just been thrown against it then there is a rattling of keys and a tall, dark haired, handsome young man enters, he picks up the bag he had thrown against the door and throws it into a closet while all the while paying no attention to the girl sitting on his bed.

What point will you actually acknowledge the fact that I'm in the room?

He looks over at this seemingly perfect woman whom is on the verge of tears and obviously shaken by something that he cannot determine. He walks over to the bed and sits down next to her; he intertwines his hands and stares at carpet below him before answering her question.

I know I have not been the most attentive boyfriend lately but I promise after the payoff things will change.

Nathan you have been saying that every year since senior year in high school but nothing ever changes.

Rachel I promise this time it will be different.

A tear streams down her face as she begins what she knows will be the last fight that they will ever have as a couple.

Nathan in two weeks we are going back to Tree Hill for the first time in three years so you can see Brooke, Lucas, Karen, and the baby. I will not present us to these people we used to be so close to as this wonderful couple that is far from real. Why is it that it's ok for us to sleep together but beyond that you act as if I'm just some random girl you hook-up with to help the time pass?

You know that's not true, you are my girlfriend and have been for a very long time. I've never dated anyone for as long as I've dated you doesn't that say anything? I mean we have been together for nearly four years.

Unless you can tell me that you whole heartedly love me this is over, so what do you have to say?
