SCENE 1: TREE HILL HOSPITAL

Jamie is sitting up in his bed, he is feeling a lot better than he was yesterday.

JAMIE VOICEOVER:

"Lance Armstrong once wrote...Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever".

Haley comes into the room,

"You ready to go?" Haley asks Jamie, who looks up at her.

"Yeah".

Jamie then slides off of the bed and and grabs his things and follows Haley out of the door.

Andre is watching Desirae sleep in his bed.

"Desirae, you still asleep?" Andre asks her.

Desirae shoots up as if she had been watching him all along.

"Not really..." Desirae lets out as she starts to get a weird look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Andre asks her.

"Nothing, it's just..." Desirae begins.

Andre cuts her off,

"You miss Tree Hill?" Andre asks.

Desirae can't do anything but smile, of coursed she missed Tree Hill, but she was happy to get away from everything.

"Look I'm glad that you came..." Andre began, but couldn't finish.

"Good!...Then let's do something together" Desirae shouted as she dragged Andre out of the room.

SCENE 3: TUGGARO RESIDENCE

Carlos is on the phone with Felix.

"Dad I've told you before me and Celia, we're good" Carlos repeats.

"I just wanted to check up on the both of you" Felix tells him.

"I understand...talk to you later" Carlos states as he hangs up the phone.

Carlos is hesitating to do something, he finally swallows his fear and grabs the car keys off the rack and heads out the door.

SCENE 4: THE PHARMACY

Celia is inside of the pharmacy.

"Can I help you with something miss?" a woman asks.

Celia swallows hard,

"Um...where do you keep the pregnancy tests?" Celia asks her.

"Far back and to the right" the woman says in a nice manor.

Celia finds her way, thanks to the directions the woman gave her. Celia finds the pregnany tests and picks one up.

SCENE 5: SAWYER-SCOTT RESIDENCE

Lucas, Peyton, Sawyer, and Lily are all eating dinner, no one is talking.

"Peyton could you pass me the mashed potatoes?" Lily asks Peyton.

"Luke hand Lily the..." Peyton stops mid sentence because Lucas has just slid the potatoes over to Lily.

Lily slams her hands on the table and gets up,

"Where are you going?" Lucas asks his sister.

"Anywhere you're not!" Lily shouts back.

Lucas stands up and makes his way over to her,

"You're grounded Lily" Lucas whispers.

"Excuse me do the terms you're my brother mean nothing to you?" Lily begins, "You can't ground me" Lily states.

Lily goes for the doorknob so she can leave the house, but Lucas moves her hand and stands in her way,

"Watch me" are the only two words Lucas speaks.

Lily storms off upstairs and slams the door behind her.

SCENE 6: JAMES-SCOTT RESIDENCE

Jamie is placing everything back into his room and Nathan is at the door.

"How you holding up?" Nathan asks him.

"Good, so far" Jamie replies.

"Look I really don't want to overact, due to the fact I haven't been around much" Nathan states.

Jamie smiles a little,

"You're still my dad, and you can spare the whole popping pills scenario, I've learned my lesson the hard way" Jamie said, referring to having his stomach pumped.

Nathan sighed, he wanted to get something off of his chest he just didn't know how to say it.

"Jamie there's something you need to know...I haven't been honest since I've gotten back into you and Lydia's lives." Nathan whispered.

Jamie started to stare at Nathan.

SCENE 7: ANDRE'S ROOM

Andre and Desirae make it back into Andre's room.

"So what's next?" Desirae asks as she plops down on the bed.

"What do you mean what's next?" Andre asks her.

Desire looks confused,

"I mean what do we do now?" Desirae begins, "Maybe we should hit that swimming pool you were telling me about"

"I don't think swimming in a pool at night is a very good idea" Andre tells her.

"And just why not?" Desirae states.

Andre stares at her,

"Desirae why are you acting like this?" Andre asks her

"What do you mean?" Desirae, tries to cover up her true intentions.

Desirae gives up,

"I'm just tired of all the lies...from Carlos and Madison" Desirae tells him.

"Carlos and Madison? I missed a lot" Andre whispers.

"They're not a couple" Desirae whispers back.

Andre hugs her,

"Then why are you here and not fighting for Carlos?" Andre asks her.

"Bye..." Desirae whispers.

"Bye" Andre shoots back as Desirae makes her way out of his room.

"Yeah I'm fine...it's just a lot of things are happening right now" Madison tells him.

"Any word from Desirae?" Carlos asks.

Madison shakes her head.

"I brought this on myself" Madison states as she sits down on the couch.

"What are you talking about?" Carlos states as he makes his way over to her.

Madison continues to cry,

"If I would've never had feelings for you, none of this would've happened" Madison tells him.

"Well do you have feelings for me now?" Carlos asks.
