PEYTON'S HOUSE, 6:22 P.M.

When Brooke and Lucas went to sleep and Nathan went into the kitchen to think, Haley got up and told everyone she was going to drive around.

"Hey Peyton, could I use your car? I wanna take a drive around," Haley asked as she got up from the couch.

"Um, sure. Its on the counter in the kitchen," Peyton slowed down on the last four words she said. Haley started nodding her head then spoke.

"Oh okay. Then um, I'll just go get it then um, I'll go take my drive around Tree Hill," she said nervously.

"You know what, I could just go get it," Peyton said as she got up from the couch. Haley nodded her head no.

"No, no. It's okay. I could get it. But could you take care of Kayla while I'm out?," Haley started to walk to the kitchen.

"Um, okay." Peyton sat back down.


When Haley got to the kitchen, she saw Nathan sitting on a stool, drinking a beer. Nathan looked up. Haley said nothing and started to look on the counter for the keys. When she found them, she took them and left the room. Nathan looked at the door for a few more seconds, then took a sip from his beer.

As Haley drove the streets of Tree Hill, she started thinking about Nathan.

Nathan walked out of the kitchen. He found everyone except Lucas, Brooke, and Haley in the living room watching a movie.

"What're you guys watching?" Nathan asked.

"A movie," Peyton said simply.

"Oh, can I watch?" Nathan asked. Peyton shrugged. Nathan walked to an empty seat on the couch and sat down, not watching the movie. He talked, considering he was bored

"It's gonna be over in 2 minutes," Peyton said.

"Well, that was a great movie," Nathan said when it finished.

"Like you even watched it," Jenny muttered, though Nathan didn't hear.

"So what are we watching now?" Nathan asked.

"I don't know, maybe see you throw up," Jenny muttered, but again, Nathan did not hear.

"We're just gonna go to Cold Stone to get some ice cream," Peyton answered.

"Oh. Okay." Nathan got up and walked outside with Jake.

As they drove to Cold Stone, Nathan again, kept talking.


As Haley drove and thought about Nathan, the song 'When the Last Teardrop Falls' by Blaque started to play.

It's so hard to lose the one you love

To finally have to say goodbye

You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on

And all that you can do is cry

Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on

When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone

Haley started to form tears in her eyes.

When the last tear drop falls


I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories


And all of what used to be

When the last tear drop falls


I will stand tall


And know that you're here with me in my heart


When the last tear drop falls

Haley didn't notice, but she started to drive off the road. She then saw a tree.

So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on


But my destination still unknown, oh yeah


Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?


When I was meant to walk these streets alone


If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight


It would be to have you right back by my side

She tried to turn but she was too late. Her memories started to come back to her.

"Would you like to go out with me?"

"I love you, Haley."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Will you marry me?"

"I loved you, Haley. And you just left."

A few seconds before she crashed, she said, "I love you, Nathan."


While they drove to Cold Stone, they noticed a car off the road.

"Who the hell is that?" Jake asked.

"Oh my god. That's my car. Haley's in there. Stop the car, Jake!" Peyton yelled. Jake stopped the car and everyone got out and started running to Peyton's car.
