A/N: This is co-written by myself and Savannah, it all comes from our secret love of Laley. I am writing from Lucas's POV, and Savannah from Haley's. Please read and let us know what you think.

Chapter 1

Haley POV

I'm sitting in the back seat of a cab on my way back to Tree Hill. I am trying to prepare myself to face everything that I left behind three months ago. I knew this day would come eventually, but I guess I thought that I would be ready. Ready to be brave and own up to my mistakes, and right now I am anything but that. I feel like my head is about to explode. The only thing that seems to make sense anymore is that simple conversation that I can't seem to get out of my head..

Flashback

Lucas: So.. Maybe this means you're coming back soon?

Me: No. I'm not coming home, Lucas. This is my life, now.

(He can't look at me and instead stares at the ground. I wipe tears from my eyes.)

(Lucas stands up and looks around. I wait.)

Lucas: So I guess this is goodbye?

Me: Yeah, I guess so.

(He hugs me after a beat.)

Lucas: I will always be there for you, Haley. (Pause.) You'll always be my best friend.

End of Flashback

Now I'm standing on Lucas' front porch, and all I can manage to do is stare at the door. The cab is already gone and there is no turning back. It's now or never. I reach for the door handle, but the door is already in motion.

Lucas: Haley?

Me: Hi.

Lucas POV

I keep getting that feeling that I forgot something. In the pit of my stomach, and it won't go away. I keep telling my self that I don't know what it is, but I do. I hated the way things were when I left Haley, I hate the fact she's talking to Chris about her life, that he gets to see her everyday, and I miss her. She's my best friend and I need her, ok now I just sound selfish. I decide to take a walk try and think about something else...

Me: Haley?

Haley: Hi.

Me: Are you really here?

Haley: I think so.

(They hug)

Me: I thought you weren't gonna come back?

Haley: I kept thinking about our last conversation and I couldn't stay... I didn't know where to go?

Me: Come inside.

Haley: Ok.

Me: Do you want to see Nathan?

Haley: I can't face him Lucas, not tonight.

Me: Ok. (smiling) I'm so happy your back. Is it for good?

Haley: There's nothing left for me on that tour anymore.

Me: You know the last time I saw you.. I had this feeling like I was never gonna see you again.

Haley: (starts crying) I really messed up didn't I?

Me: You made a mistake. We've all done that.

Haley: I don't think Nathan is gonna see it that way do you?

iFlashback

NATHAN: Did you kiss him?

HALEY: Yes.

HALEY: I'm sorry. You have to believe me. That's not what this is about. Nathan-

NATHAN: Haley, listen; if you wanna go, you should go. (Pause) If you do… we're done.

End of Flashback/i

Haley: God Lucas! I've been so stupid.

Me: Hey (hugging her again) Don't think about that tonight ok?

What do you say we get you something to eat, and then we veg out in front of the TV.

Haley: Weren't you on your way out?

Me: Just to see Peyton... but I can call her.
