When Peyton started crying, Lucas had a worried face and he went near her. He hugged him tight and asked "Baby, what's wrong?"
Peyton wiped her tears said "It reminded me of how much it hurts to let you go. I don't want that to happen again"
"It won't. I promise" Lucas kissed Peyton's forehead.
The next day at t Brooke's store labeled "Hoes over Bros":
Brooke was pretty busy. She got phone calls here and there.
"Yes. I'm working on it" she answered her first phone.
"I'll deliver it by tomorrow" puts down the second phone.
"I know! It's on the way" while she picked up the third phone.
Her cellphone rang with an unknown number and she answered it "Hello?"
"I would like to order a dozen box of hugs and a million box of kisses please?" the voice on phone went like that.
"Chase?" she sat down and slouch on her comfy chair "Thank God it's you!"
"How did you know it's me?" Chase asked.
"Because you are the first person who called without yelling" Brooke answered. "I'm so tired!"
"Oh sweetie! That's okay. So you have any plans tonight?" Chase asked.
"I have to finish my work. I'm sorry"
"Then I'll just stop by then?" Chase said.
"Yeah sure. Maybe you can help me out." another phone rings "Got to go now. Bye"
"I love--" before he finished his sentence Brooke put down the phone. He paused and smiled. Before he kept his phone, it rang again.
"I love you too. Bye" Brooke said quickly.
Chase started walking and smiling.
Another Scene: At school where Haley works:
Nathan knocked on the door holding James' hands
"Okay children. Why don't we go and grab some crayons and coloring books?" Haley told her pupils.
They all shouted for joy and give a big "yay!" as Haley went to the door into Nathan and James. She carried and kissed James and he looked at Nathan. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked.
James was hiding something from his back and so was Nathan. James put it out and said "Happy Birthday Mommy!"
"Wow! Did you drew this Jamie? Is it for me? Haley replied happily. James nodded and looked up to his dad. Nathan hand in a bouquet of purple flowers with a letter attached. "Always and Forever"
"Happy Birthday Hales" Nathan said. "Thanks"Haley said in a low voice. Haley and Nathan kissed. James giggled. Haley looked at James drawing. It was his whole family. Nathan and him playing basketball and from a distance, his mom by the door saying "work". On the lower part, it's "Hapy Birtdey Mom"
Haley's face turned sad and looked at James. She hugged him tightly and looked at Nathan.
After classes and another extra 2 hours writing lesson plans:
"Mrs. Scott I need you to substitute for Ms. Spencer's night class this evening" the principal told Haley.
"I'm sorry Sir but I've got family obligations too and I promised my son--" before Haley can finish what she was about to say...
"Go" the principal said. "Excuse me?" Haley smiled. "Go to your family. I thought you would never ask Ms. Haley. You have spent extra time at work. I didn't stop you because I want you to realize for yourself"
Haley was so happy and she was smiling "Thank you so much Sir" and she stood up and went to the door and looked back. The principal nodded.
And she run through the hall and to started heading home.
At the apartment:
"Is she coming?" Lucas asked. Nathan looked at the clock and sighed "She will be."
They prepared a surprise party for Haley. Lucas, Peyton, Jake, Nathan, Mouth, even Rachel and the rest were present. Brooke and Chase were on their way. Chase told Brooke about Haley's surprise party so Brooke's store closed early than the usual. But Haley was late. So they were thinking twice of not to proceed.
