Lucas Scott sat down in an empty Diner booth. It was around theree oclock, hungry Tree Hill citizens entered the resturant to feed their stomachs. A waitress walked over to Lucas's booth and smiled. "Well honey, you look as if you've been ran over by a train." She said looking him up and down.

"I feel like it." He said while swipeing his hands across his unshave face. He took in a breath and returned his look at the waitress.

"Can I get you anything?" She said takeing pen and paper out from her aprin.

"Just water, thanks." He slumped back into the booth, and ran a finger across the table top. Smells of dinner lingured all around him. People were pilling into the tiny croweded Diner and the one person he wanted to see, wasn't one of them.

He had left Haley four messages and she hadn't even picked the phone up. He felt stupid for calling her, mainly embarrased. He had been up all night and came to the decision, he couldn't live withought her. He could put up with the long distant relationship. If only he was with her... He reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring. "We're ment to be together Halz" He whispered.

The waitress placed the water befor him. Shocked, Lucas shoved the ring back into his pocket. The lady looked down at him and smiled. "She's beautiful isn't she?"

"What? Who's beautiful?" He said raising his head to look the woman in the eye.

"The girl you're given that ring to. You love her?" She said looking him deeper into the eye.

"Yeah, she's the love of my life." Lucas said looing into the water glass.

"Then why aren't you with her? I tell you something if this girl is really the love of your life go tell her. Put that ring on her finger instead of stareing at the damn thing."

"Eaiser said than done."

"She's waiting for you, do you know that?" The woman turned her back to him and whispered under her breath "If you don't know that then...."

"What if I don't?" He loked where the waitress once stood, nothing but air had filled the place.

Lucas grabbed his keys and rushed out the resturant doors. For some reason he felt as if what the waitriss said was true. He opened the car door and grabbed his cell phone. The little voice beeped and said, "You have one message." He sat down and shut the door behind him.

It was Haley her voice seemed deeper than usual, "Lucas it's me Haley....I'm leaving Tree Hill today. My plane takes off at 3:30." His eyes shot down to his watch it was 3:35. "I know I haven't returned your calls, I thought I freaked you out lastnight. But nothing has changed. I love you even more today than I did yesterday. Please call me or come and see me. If you want things etween us to end then don't come. It will be easier if I don't have to see you. I uderstande comepletely, with all the distance between us how can our relationship go on? But Luke I do love you and I hope that I will be hearing the same from you before I leave." Haley's voice cut out and his phone beeped. How the hell could he have not heard this? he burried his head in his hands. She was flying half way across the earth to study art in Paris. And how now she believed he didn't love her anymore.
