"Do you want to go home?" Haley asked as Deb got paler and paler. Deb nodded
"yes please Haley." Haley walked Deb out of the grocery store. They got into the car and Deb gave a little smile "We're free" Haley looked over
"Who?" She asked looking rather confused
"Nathan and I, if Dan's gone we can leave" Haley's face went blank
"What? Leave, to go where?" Helay said still looking at Deb
"Anywhere we want" she smiled.
"What... but you can't leave!"Haley said starting the car
" Haley, you should come with us" Deb suggested as the pulled out of the parking lot
"I can't I stopped the tour to come home, Tree Hill, I can't leave" Haley said looking at the road. "I mean if Dan's dead, you'll still be free here!" Haley said glancing over atDeb
"If we do decide to move would you come with us for Nathan's sake?" Deb asked looking over at Haley.
"I don't know if I can, leaving the first time was hard enough, I can't leave again." Haley said stopping at a red light.
"Well we'll have to see" Deb sighed as Haley pulled the car into the drive way. Nathan was there shooting hoops. Haley got out of the car and Deb followed. Nathan took one last shot and then meet them at the front door
"Hey mom, Haley" he smiled kissing her.
"Nathan we have to talk" Deb said walking into the house. Nathan put his arm around Haley's shoulders as they walked in after Deb. "Nathan..." Deb started "Dan's dead" she walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to see if there was any food. Nathan couldn't help it but a small smile appeared on his face.
"Is that good?" he asked looking at Haley then at his mom. Deb nodded
"Yes, now we're free to leave" She smiled turning around. Nathan looked at Haley who now looked very upset with the whole idea. Nathan hugged her
"Mom I'm not leaving, especially not now!" Nathan said looking from Haley to him mom who was now standing by the coffee maker.
