Chapter 1
Today, was the day that they had all been looking forward to. The day, that they would move out from their parents home, and leave Tree Hill forever, and start new lives somewhere.
Bevin and Skillz had moved to Connecticut together, both were going to Boston College. Bevin was going to become a model, and Skillz got a scholarship for basketball.
Mouth and Shelley were the next ones to leave. They were going to go study medicine in Toronto. Their flight was early in the morning so called everyone to say their final good-bye.
Later that day, everyone else met at Karen's Café for the last time.
Brooke, Peyton, Lucas and Haley were already there when Nathan and Rachel came in. Haley looked down, and got up to go to the kitchen. Brooke got up and went to go hug Rachel.
"Are you okay" Brooke asked.
"No, I'm not, Noah dumped me this morning. He said that we were going different ways, and that he couldn't do the whole long distance thing. And it just broke my heart. But... I'm accepting it now."
"I'm so sorry Rach." Peyton said
"Yeah…thanks…"
Nathan rubbed Rachel's back. Haley came out of the kitchen, and Nathan quickly took his hand off her back.
"Nathan, I need to talk to you, please"
Nathan walked over to the kitchen. "What is it?"
"I want a divorce"
"What?"
"A divorce, I'm leaving for Stanford in a couple of hours, and you're leaving for Duke. And it's not going to work, so I want a divorce."
"Haley, please"
"No. we're done"
Haley walked away, and went to hug Lucas.
"Guys, I have to go finish packing. Have a great summer, and keep in touch"
Haley left the Café in a rush.
Nathan came back to the table. "It's over" he said with his head down "Haley, and I are over…for good."
"I'm so sorry Nathan" Rachel said. "Is there anything I could do for you?"
"No, I'm fine. Come on, let's talk. We only have a few more hours together."
They all sat down around the table and started talking about things they wanted to accomplish, things that they wanted to see in their new life…
"What are your plans for the summer guys?" Lucas asked.
"Well, I was planning on coming down here for about 3 weeks to be with you Luke" Peyton said.
"I'm leaving straight for New York, might go visit my parents in Los Angeles" Brooke said.
"I'm going to Europe" Rachel said.
"I'm not doing anything" Nathan said
Rachel turned to Nathan "Why don't you come with me? Come on, it would be so much fun! I have an extra ticket that was suppose to be Noah's!"
"Really?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah. I mean, come on, we've grown pretty close these past 2 weeks. And plus we can use this trip to get over Noah and Haley. So what do you say?"
"I say hell yeah." Nathan said
Brooke, Lucas and Peyton all had shocked looks on their faces. Lucas got up from the table.
"Nate, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yeah, sure what's up?"
Lucas made sure the girls couldn't hear what he was about to say, "what's going on with you and Rachel"
Nathan looks at Rachel…"I don't know man. She's fun, she makes me laugh"
"So you're really going to take this trip with her?"
"You bet I am. I mean, it's Europe, plus with a hot chick. Win, win"
"You know you're sounding like you're old self right?"
"Come on…me and Rachel are having fun…if It turns into anything serious…you'll be the first to know" Nathan said, and then walked back to the table.
"Rach, you wanna go now. I have to pack up some more stuff since we're gonna go to Europe together."
Rachel raises her eyebrows "You bet Nate. Let's go"
Brooke hugs Rachel, while Peyton hugs Nathan, and then they switch. Nathan puts his arm around Rachel and they walk out of the café together.
Peyton turns to Brooke and Lucas "Okay that was really weird"
"Is it just me or do Rachel and Nathan look like a couple?" Brooke asked.
"No…they do" Lucas replied
"What about Haley?" Peyton said.
"Looks like he's moved on" Brooke said.
There was a moment of silence at the table.
"I have to go. My plane leaves in an hour, and I have everything in the car"
"Let us drive you Brooke" Lucas insisted
"You want to take me to the airport?" Brooke asked
"Brooke, you've been my best friend since we were kids, and there's a risk that I might never see you again. I'm going to spend every moment I can with you"
Brooke and Peyton hug, and then they all walk out of the Café and head for Brooke's car. In the car Brooke puts on "As Long As You Love Me by BSB" and the girls start singing it.
"You know I had the biggest crush on Brian" Peyton told Lucas
"Really?" Lucas said with a curious look on his face.
"Yeah…he was the cutest. Brooke, who did you have a crush on again?" Peyton asked her
"Peyton! I was Mrs. Davis Carter…remember" Brooke said sarcastically
Both of them laughed together.
"You know, I feel so excluded in this conversation" Lucas said
"Well who did you have a crush on Luke?" Brooke asked.
"Pamela Anderson … still do" Lucas fantasised
Brooke and Peyton look at each other and then both hit Lucas
"Hey! Stop. Brooke! Eyes on the road" Lucas screamed
"Right…sorry" Brooke said quickly
The girls were still laughing, and Lucas looked out the window still fantasying about Pamela Anderson.
Brooke pulled into the airport and parked the car. "Peyton, you're going to take this home right. I want you to have it, since you're driving to Peyton, since that loser trashed your old black convertible."
"Ah. Thanks Brooke. But you think I could pull off a white car?"
"Are you crazy? You look FABULOUS!"
Brooke and Peyton walked into the airport together, having Lucas dragging all of Brooke's luggages behind them.
"Okay. This is it" Brooke said as they pulled up to her gate. Time to say goodbye"
"Promise we'll call each other everyday!" Peyton said
"Promise we'll myspace" Brooke said
"Promise we'll email" Peyton said
"Promise we'll postal mail" Brooke laughed.
"I Promise"
"I Promise"
"Come on, you got to get in there and we're not going to delay you anymore" Lucas said
"Right…a new life is beginning, and an old life in concluding. I want you to have fun okay" Peyton said.
"I will never forget you. You're my best friend." Brooke said and a tear shed on her cheek
"You matter who I meet, you will always be my best friend Brooke." Peyton told her
Brooke hugs Peyton, wanting never to let her go. Lucas breaks them up. "Come on Brooke, you're going to be late" Lucas gives Brooke a hug. "Be safe" he said "and have fun"
"We'll see each other again. Won't we?" Brooke said
"Definitely" Peyton answered
Brooke walked up to the gate and passed the glass doors to the department where they checked the baggage's. Lucas and Peyton held each other while they watched Brooke go. Brooke turned around and waved with a smile. Lucas and Peyton waved back.
After Brooke was gone, Peyton and Lucas decided to go hang out at Peyton and Brooke's loft until Peyton had to leave that night.
As they pulled into the driveway they saw a young man on the stairs. They ran over to him
"What are you doing here?" Peyton asked in shock
"Where's Brooke? I have to talk to her" he asked
"She's gone…she left for New York" Peyton told him
"Has the plane left yet" he asked
Lucas looks at his watch. "It's leaving in 30 minutes dude"
"I have to tell her something really important" he said.
And then ran after to his car, and zoomed out of there.
Lucas and Peyton looked at each other in shock.
"Come on, let's go inside" Lucas said
"Oh. And Mr. Scott what did you have in mind" Peyton asked
"Oh…just a little this (kiss her neck) a little bit of that (kisses her lips)"
"Oh. I like it"
(door closes)
Boarding Call for New York
"That's my call" Brooke said. She got in line to get on the plane
(Eye of the Tiger comes on)
A car zooms very quickly to the airport, doesn't even park properly and runs into the airport.
The guy is running quickly through the people in the airport, he got to the gate
"Where is your ticket sir. You are very late the plane is about to take off" said the lady
"I don't have a ticket with me…but there's someone on that plane that I need to talk to"
"I'm sorry. If you don't have a ticket you can't get on"
The guy pushes through, and runs through the terminal.
"After him!!" the lady yelled.
The door was closing.
"Excuse me, do I have time to go to the washroom" Brooke asked the lady offering drinks.
"Yes you do, but be quick" she said.
"Okay thank you. Where are they?" Brooke asked
"All the way in the front and then take a left" she replied.
"Thank you." Brooke replied. She took off her seatbelt and got up.
"There's a bathroom back here" said a familiar voice
Brooke turned around "Chase…" she said with a smile on her face.
