-Nathan's Apartment-

Haley and Nathan were sitting on the couch in Nathan's apartment watching TV.

"Can we please watch something other than sports?" Haley pleaded.

"That face isn't gunna work this time James," Nathan said stubbornly. He looked back over at Haley and said, "Fine watch what you want," while handing her the remote and getting up to go over to the kitchen.

"...And in other news, a young girl thought to be about nineteen was killed in a car accident earlier today," the announcer began, "The police have released her name to Nikki Thompson..." he continued.

"Oh my god! Nathan get in here now." Haley commanded, "You have to see this," she exclaimed.

"What?" Nathan asked, walking towards Haley.

"The girl they're talking about is Nikki Thompson!" Haley said

"You say that as if I should know who you're talking about," Nathan responded.

"Well you should," Haley said, "She's the mother of Jake's baby and that chick that, with the help of Brooke, crashed our party."

"Ohhh," Nathan said, "Right she's the reason Jake left." Nathan continued as he remembered who she was. She was tall and had brown hair. She had been the girl Lucas had hooked up with before he found out she was the mother of Jake's baby. She had caused so many problems in this town and had been the cause of Jake's sudden departure.

"Yah," Haley said.

"Well what are they saying about her?" Nathan asked.

"They said she died in a car crash earlier today," Haley replied.

"Oh." Nathan said rather stunned.

"Can I use your phone?" Haley asked, still stunned by the information she had just received, "I gotta call Peyton."

"Yah sure, go ahead," Nathan said removing the phone from its cradle and handing it to Haley.

"Hello," Haley heard the familiar voice of her good friend Peyton on the other end.

"Hey Peyton, its Haley," Haley said as calmly as she could.

"Hey. What's up? You sound nervous," Peyton stated.

"Ok, so you obviously haven't seen the news today," Haley said.

"Hales it's me, of course I haven't. Why? What's wrong?" Peyton asked her voice beginning to show fear.

"Well Nathan and I were watching the news and Nikki was killed in a car crash on a highway close to Seattle!" Haley said.

"Oh my god!" Peyton screamed, "Look, I gotta go Hales, thanks for telling me though. I'll talk to you soon." And with that she hung up the phone.

-Peyton's Place-

"Oh my god Brooke!!" Peyton screamed, "Get in here now!" She commanded.

"What... What's the problem?" An out of breath Brooke asked very concerned.

"Haley just called," Peyton said slowly trying to relax herself, "she was watching the news and... oh god..." Peyton stopped herself.

"And what Peyt, your starting to scare me," Brooke said beginning to get nervous.

"It's Nikki, she's dead "Peyton replied waiting for Brooke's reaction.

"How did she die?" Brooke questioned.

"Haley said something about a car accident somewhere near Seattle," Peyton said.

"Oh my god!" Brooke exclaimed.

"I know," Peyton said, "she died because of us. We were the ones that sent her to Seattle." Peyton said beginning to get hysterical.

"No," Brooke replied, "no we can't think that way. It's not our fault."

-The Hospital-

"Mrs. Scott, may I please have a word with you?" the doctor politely asked.

"Yah, sure," Deb responded. The look on his face and the way that he had spoken to her showed signs that there was bad news ahead, but she couldn't be sure...

Author's Note: I'm having major writers block on how to bring Lucas back so if anyone has any ideas pleas review and tell me. Thanks.
