A/N: Sorry guys but this is the last chapter... I kinda felt no one was enjoying this story and I was running out of ideas! Hope the fans of the story aren't disappointed! Please review!

It has now been almost two years since Nathan and I started dating and I couldn't be happier. He is the most amazing guy I know and I now realize that I'm not as broken as I thought. Moving to Tree Hill has been the best thing that has happened to me since the death of my parents and I know that they are looking down on me. I'm blessed with friends who have essentially become part of my family and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Today Taylor, Luke, and Nathan were all graduating and I must admit I'm a little sad. Taylor has been the one person I could always count on and I'm going to miss her when she heads off to college in two weeks. Nathan and Luke got basketball scholarships and were headed off to Duke in a couple of weeks as well. That left Brooke, Peyton, and I all alone, but I knew I would be alright with them.

I just finished putting on my new dress that I bought for graduation when Taylor walked in the room. "You ready to go?" she asked.

We had all agreed to go together as a group and everyone else was downstairs waiting to leave. "Yeah, I just finished. So how does it feel to be an almost graduate? I bet you are so ready to leave this town," I joked.

"Actually I think I'm going to miss this place. Since moving to Tree Hill, I feel at home for once. I must admit too that your friends have become mine as well and I'm going to miss you guys," she confessed, "now let's go before I start crying. You know I don't like to get emotional."

I simply laughed before adding, "I'll miss you too big sis." Then we both headed downstairs to leave with the gang.

Nathan walked over to me and gave me a hug before whispering in my ear, "You look beautiful baby. By the way, how are you doing?"

I smiled up at him before giving him a light kiss on the cheek. "I can't believe today you graduate, but I'm happy for you. I'm so proud of you and all that you've achieved this past year. I know you'll do great things at Duke!" I replied.

We all headed to the school and the graduates went to their seats. Brooke, Peyton, and I went and found a seat close to the front so we could see everything. We cheered as each one of our friends accepted their diplomas. Afterwards, we searched the crowd for them so we could get a few pictures before the gowns had to be turned in.

I spotted Nathan and Luke talking with their mom, but I didn't see Taylor. I ran over to Nathan and jumped into his arms once he saw me. Brooke and Peyton joined the group a few minutes later. Karen smiled at the group before saying, "Ok guys time for a picture! Wait, where's Taylor?"

"Right here," Taylor said joining the group, "I got lost in the crowd, sorry!"

Everyone laughed before getting together for a picture. After that, we all headed to Karen's Café where Keith was waiting. He left graduation early to finish setting up the café for the graduation party.

I was now sitting on the roof by myself when Nathan joined me. "Mind if I join you?" he asked. I smiled before making room for him. "So what are you thinking about?"

"My parents and how they would be so proud of Taylor right now. I wish you could have met them because they would have loved you. Nate…" I started.

"Wait let me say something before you finish. Your parents would be proud of you too you know. You have been through so much, but you're so strong and have such a big heart. My mom would have loved you too, especially because you are the reason I'm a better person. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm in love with you Haley James and I've loved since that first day in Algebra where you blew me off. I knew that you were special and I had to know you. I understand that you're sad that I'm leaving in a couple of weeks, but I promise you that my feelings will never change. As a reminder, I have this," he said pulling out a ring from his pocket, "it was my mothers and I want you to have it as a token of my love. I don't know if you know this, but one day I'm going to ask you to be my wife."

"Nate, I love you too. I didn't think I was lovable prior to moving here, but you showed me that wasn't the case. I'm honored to wear your mother's ring because I know it means a lot to you. For the record, you will be my future husband!" I joked before kissing him gently on the lips before pulling him in for more. I guess I'm not so hard to love after all! I can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us, but for now I'm going to enjoy these few weeks with my friends before they leave.
