3 months later....
Brooke parked her car at Tree Hill High, it had been a rough summer, dealing with her parents death, remembering Peyton's death, getting away from Manchester Prep. She shivered slightly in the cool wind.
"You okay?" a tender voice asked. A muscled arm looped around her waist.
"Yeah, I'm glad I have you," Brooke leaned into Lucas, hugging him tightly.
"I'm always here for you," Lucas kissed her forehead gently. He and Brooke had been going out for 3 months now. It was late August and school was about to start again, they were in their sophmore year and the school was finally finished being rebuilt.
Nathan answered the knock at his house, Haley stood there, looking gorgeous in a red dress. "Shall we go to the river and have a picnic?" she held out her picnic basket.
"Sure," Nathan grabbed his keys and closed the door, linking his hand with hers. They walked off down the road.
Nathan and Haley had gotten back together and their love was stronger than ever. Dan and Deb had gotten a divorce and Nathan lived with Deb, Dan had moved to L.A.
Tree Hill High had been built again and school started in 2 weeks. Everything was back to normal again. Or was it.......
Trees moved in the dance of the wind, clouds separated to reveal the sun in all its glory.
