A/N: Sorry for the update. Busy with school and everything. I know that Memorial Weekend is over, I was hoping to get this finished before then, but obviously never happend. I'm going to keep it the same though.

Chapter One

Brooke Davis was driving toward Vanderfield Woods, still pissed that Mitchell blew her off. He was supposed to meet her at the bar, and then drive up together. She was finally going to introduce him to Peyton and everyone. He made her feel special and really liked her. Brooke hadn't been so happy since she was with Lucas, but soon regretted thinking about him.

"Screw it," she mumbled as she turned up the latest by Beyonce.

As she was driving, she saw someone on the side of the road. She drove right past, not caring if the person needed a ride. Brooke thought against it, so she slowed down hoping to could change her karma.

"I did it. I finally did it," I yelled at the top of my lungs.
No one could catch me, let alone notice if I was even there. I was walking down the deserted road for what seemed like hours till someone finally stopped.
"It's about damn time."
I walked over to her as she rolled down the window.

"Hey cutie, you need a ride somewhere?"
"Yeah, would you mind?"
"No, just don't touch anything."
"Okay, whatever."
"Brooke Davis."
"Nick Ford."
"Are you headed in anyplace particular?"
"No, just wanna get outta Charlotte."
"Okay. I'm headed up to Vanderfield to meet some friends. You wanna join me?"
"You sure I wouldn't be imposing?"
"Nah, I told them I was bringing a friend, but I guess you'll do."

Nathan and Haley had fallen asleep in the backseat of Peyton's car about a half an hour after they left. Lucas was too tired to drive, so he handed to reins over to Peyton.

"Lucas, I thought you said the drive wasn't that long."
"We still have plenty of time. We left when it was still dark outside; it's 7:00 right now."
"Okay, but if we get there tomorrow, I'm going to kill you."
"Peyton, just drive."

After a while, Haley woke to a scream, only to realize she was the one screaming.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? What happened?" Nathan, Lucas and Peyton all fired off questions not giving Haley anytime to answer.
"Guys, I'm okay. It was just a bad dream." A freaky bad dream.

Peyton pulled the car over to the side of the road. Nathan had his arms wrapped around Haley, helping her calm down.

"I saw a sign for a gas station a few miles back. We better go so we can fill up."
"Good idea Luke, I gotta pee like a pregnant donkey."
"How would you know what a pregnant donkey feels like or is there something you're not telling us?"
"Shut-up man."
"Nathan, you shouldn't have eaten so much before we left."
"Haley, I was hungry. That's what you do when your hungry. You eat."
"Okay, okay."
"Besides, I gotta get something to drink since someone drank all my soda." Peyton said while glaring at Lucas.
"What? I was thirsty."
"Sure, whatever Luke. We need some music in here. Who wants to pick a cd?"
"Hey Peyton, how about this one," Nathan said while picking up a blank cd from the floor.
"Umm, sure. I have no clue who or what it is."
Peyton put the cd only to be introduced to Beyonce's Baby Boy.
"Hurry up, turn it off!" Everyone shouted.
"Okay, okay."
"Brooke must have left this in here when I took her home the other day.
"Here let's listen to this." Lucas stated as he put in Dashboard Confessional.
"Now that's more like it." Haley commented from the back of the car.

The car was soon filled with a comfortable silence as Peyton continued driving to their final destination.
