"IF TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY"

(1X10)

SCENE 1: "JAMES' TEMPORARY APARTMENT"

Haley is washing dishes when she hears a knock on the door.

"Coming" Haley states, as she finishes drying off her hands.

JAMIE VOICEOVER:

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others".

Haley opens the door to Nathan,

"Hi" Nathan whispers.

"Hi...come in" Haley tells him as she moves to side to let Nathan into the apartment.

SCENE 2: "MADISON'S HOUSE"

Madison and Desirae are talking.

"So doesn't Andre leave today?" Madison asks the girl.

"Yeah...actually he does" Desirae whispers.

"And you're not going to say goodbye?" Madison questions.

Desirae sighs,

"I said goodbye to him yesterday, before the game" Desirae states, trying to hide her true feelings for Andre.

Madison touches Desirae's hand.

"Hey, one day your gonna look back and tell yourself...Why didn't I say bye to Andre?" Madison tells her.

Desirae stares at Madison, whether she liked it or not, Madison was right.

"I'll be right back" Desirae whispers as she leaves the house.

SCENE 3: "RIVERCOURT"

Jamie and Celia are talking.

"So about that kiss, before the game..." Jamie begins.

"What about it?" Celia questions, wanting to play games.

"Where does it leave us?" Jamie asks her, playing along with her game.

Celia looks at him and then tries to leave, but Jamie brings her back.

"You're not going anywhere..." Jamie states, tickling her.

Celia bursts out in laughter,

"Okay...we're boyfriend and girlfriend" Celia stated, when she was able to catch her breath.

Celia gets serious.

"Shouldn't you be...going to see Andre?" Celia asks him.

Jamie hops down from the bench,

"Crap you're right...you coming?" Jamie asks his new girlfriend.

Celia looks at him.

"Nah...I'll just chill right here for a while" Celia tells him.

Jamie makes his way to his car.

SCENE 4: "TAGGARO RESIDENCE"

Felix opens the door to Brooke,

"Brooke...what are you doing here?" Felix asks her.

"I'm just running a few errands" Brooke said, her voice cracking.

Felix pulls her into a hug,

"What's wrong?" Felix asks her.

Brooke then realizes his arms are wrapped around her and she jerks away from him,

"This is! Us...ever since you moved back to Tree Hill...my life's been flipped upside down to the point where I'm on the verge of going through a divorce with Julian." Brooke shouts.

"Okay...just calm down" Felix whispers.

"No don't tell me to calm down..." Brooke begins, "He asked me if I still had feelings for you" Brooke whispers.

Felix gets closer,

"Do you?" Felix states, inches from her face.

Brooke looks at his lips.

"No...not anymore" Brooke whispers as she leaves the scene.

SCENE 5: "SAWYER-SCOTT RESIDENCE"

Lucas and Peyton are arguing.

"Huh? Why would you cheat and not take the blame for it?" Peyton asked Lucas.

"It was stupid...I had just lost my mom, I needed to be loved and you were too busy to love me" Lucas tells her, point blank.

"Okay you could've fessed up to that..." Peyton stated.

"Nathan told me that I had been through enough" Lucas whispered.

Peyton slams down her hands,

"And what you think Nathan's marriage hasn't suffered enough too?" Peyton shouts.

Peyton then places her hands on her belly and lets out a wince of pain.

"Peyton, you okay?" Lucas whispers.

Peyton looks up at him,

"We're fine" Peyton whispers, referring to the baby as the other person.

Peyton then grasps one of the chairs and then falls to the floor.

"Peyton!" Lucas shouts as he makes his way to his wife.

SCENE 6: "SAWYER-SCOTT RESIDENCE - PORCH"

Lily is talking with Chuck on the front porch.

"You know if there's anything you wanted to do...now would be the time" Chuck states, trying to flirt.

Over the past few weeks Chuck had grown on Lily, and their title as a fake couple had went away.

"There is something I want to say" Lily begins.

Chuck looks up,

"Kiss me" Lily whispers.

Chuck and Lily's faces are inches apart when all of a sudden they both run into the house by the mention of the name,

"Peyton!" Lucas shouts.

SCENE 7: "BUS STATION"

Jamie and Andre are at the Bus Station, saying their goodbies and Desirae is watching them.

"Man I'm gonna miss having you around here...Who else am I going to look to for winning championship games?" Jamie states, laughing at the end.

Andre gives Jamie a brotherly hug,

"Thanks man..." Andre lets out.

"You know what they say...in order to live you have to live" Jamie tells him.

Andre cracks up a bit,

"Dude how does that even fit into what we are talking about right now?" Andre teases him.

Andre and Jamie then part ways. Desirae then remembers that she didn't say goodbye, she looks at her necklace and then at the bus.

"Well I guess this is it, huh?" Andre asks, making it more of a statement, rather than a question.

"Yep" Jamie tells Andre as he is walking to the bus, "Oh Andre...!" Jamie calls.

Andre turns.

"Yeah?" Andre asks

"Remember there's only one Tree Hill...and it's your home" Jamie states, taking words that Karen had told Lucas years ago.

Andre gets on the bus.

SCENE 8: "THE BUS"

Andre is motioned over by a man.

"You Andre?" the man asks.

"Yeah, why?" Andre states.

"This pretty little lady told me to give you this" the man said holding up the necklace Andre had given to Desirae.

Andre gently takes the necklace and holds it.

"If I were you I wouldn't let her go" the man said.

Andre then looks out the window, knowing that he would be back...Tree Hill was his home.

SCENE 9: "THE RIVERCOURT"

Celia hears footsteps behind her,

"Well that was a fast goodbye" Celia turns around, but her smile fades when she realizes she isn't talking to Jamie.

The boy eases over to her,

"CeCe...it is you" the boy whispers walking closer to her.

"You shouldn't have come here Randy!" Celia shouts as she runs to her jeep.

Randy tries to run to her.

"No!" Celia begins as she slams the car door and locks it. "Go back...now...you being here is dangerous!" Celia states as she drives off, leaving Randy on the court.

SCENE 10: "TAGGARO RESIDENCE PORCH"

Carlos is on his porch and notices Desirae walking over to him.

"Hi..." Desirae whispers as she steps onto the porch.

"Sup..." Carlos states, watching her every move.

"Cut the act" Desirae tells him, seeing right through him.

Carlos laughs a little,

"What act?" Carlos whispers.

Desirae eases over to him,

"The one where you pretend to be the tough guy, not afraid of anything" Desirae tells him.

Carlos laughs again,

"This isn't an act...I was born this way" Carlos states as he makes his way back to the front door.

Desirae decides to walk away,

"Bye..." Desirae states hopping off the steps.

Carlos freezes...he know he wants to say it, should he?

"Desirae!" Carlos begins as Desirae turns, "I am afraid of something" Carlos finishes.

"What?" Desirae whispers.

"I'm afraid of losing you!" Carlos states.

Carlos hops off of the porch and Desirae runs to him, Carlos then pulls her into a passionate kiss.

SCENE 11: "KAREN'S CAFE"

Haley enters the cafe. She is on the phone with Nathan.

"Well yeah, meet me here...I want to sing a song for..." Haley states, but has been cut off, because she has just been hit in the back of the head.

Haley lays on the floor, not moving, still. The figure is then revealed to be Victor,

"This will teach you not to leave me" Victor whispers as he pulls out something.

It's a lighter, Victor then throws the lighter and Karen's Cafe is going up in flames.

JAMIE VOICEOVER FINAL:

"Lily Fairchilde once wrote...Deep down even the most hardened criminal is starving for the same thing that motivates the innocent baby: Love and acceptance"

Victor then leaves the cafe and Haley there, to burn.
