Author's note: set in season 3

Nathan drove the small blue car that trailed right after the big, black, SUV. Both cars drove through the woods that were painted with fern, oak, pine and aspen trees. The path was gravel, rocky, and unsteady. They left Rachel's cabin at around 10:00am, so that they could reach their home, Tree Hill, by 7:00pm. The journey was long, but a road trip and a weekend away was exactly what everyone needed. Adjacent to Nathan sat Haley, whose arm was stretched onto Nathan side of the car, her hand was on his left thigh, covered over with Nathan's left hand – while Nathan's right arm, unaccompanied, steered the steering wheel. Behind them, in the back seat, were Brooke and Lucas, snuggled up together on the right side of the car. Lucas' arm was placed over Brooke's shoulder, while Brooke's head was tilted onto Lucas' chest. In the car in front of them, were Jake, Peyton, Mouth, Skills and Rachel. Rachel was the one who steered the black SUV, and sat next to her was Mouth, behind them were Peyton, Skills and Jake.

Nathan turned his head to Haley and smiled, "So, did you have a good time?"

"Yeah, I think we all really needed it, you know?" She glanced at the right hand, and smiled at the sight of her wedding ring.

"Yeah" Nathan said with his voice descending. Nathan looked at the rear view mirror to find Brooke and Lucas both asleep in each other's arms.

After 3 hours of driving, it was now time for a lunch break. Since the group decided they didn't want to stop anywhere for lunch, they each packed sandwiches to eat in the car along the way.

After an hour of driving, Nathan's car was leading the SUV; Nathan just liked the idea of being the leader. After a while, Nathan looked into the rear view mirror and saw that the black car wasn't behind them anymore. Right after that, his cell phone began to ring, it was in his pocket, detaching Haley's hand from his, he slid his hand into the left pocket and slipped the phone to his ear.

"Hey where are you guys?" Nathan asked

"You had to take a left Nathan, you're going the wrong way" Rachel said

"Rachel, I know the way, and you have to keep going straight"

"No Nathan, you have to take a left"

Giving up, Nathan sighed and replied, "Alright, we're turning back"

Nathan slid his phone back into his pocket and reached out for Haley's hand.

After a few hours of following the SUV, Nathan got frustrated, seeing as the road there were in was unfamiliar. In fact, it wasn't a road, more a pathway, into the quiet woods.

"Haley, call Rachel and tell her that we're lost, and to admit it" Nathan ordered. Haley took Nathan's phone and dialed her number.

"Rachel, yeah, we're lost"

"No, we're not"

"Rachel, look around you, do you have any idea where we are?" There wasn't a response.

"Yup we're lost" Haley reaffirmed and glanced at Nathan. Nathan winced and hit his hand on the steering wheel.
