I had made a life for me, in New York City; I took care of my daughter during the day and went to work at night. I work at a club, bartending. I made pretty good money. I never sang again. I guess that dream went out the window along with my marriage. I never wanted to see my name in lights if I didn't have Nathan to share it with. I was sitting in a cafe across from my daughter Nati's preschool waiting to pick her up. Being a single parent was hard, but I never regretted it. I had made friends in New York and they had helped out in a big way. But that day changed my life for the second time. I was drinking coffee when Jake Jagelski walked in. I was reading my newspaper, so naturally, I hadn't been paying attention until a guy was standing next to my table when I finally looked up.

Jake-"Well, I thought you were dead"

Haley-"Jake?" I was shocked beyond belief.

Jake-"Haley, it's good to see you, how have you been?

Haley- "Good, and You?"

Jake-"so, so I got Jenny back a couple of years ago and have been living here ever since. Peyton is not going to believe this when I tell you're here."

I immediately felt panic run through my body.

Haley-"so you still talk to Peyton?"

Jake-"Yeah, sometimes, we're not together or anything, I mean we want to be but it's hard."

Haley-"Do you talk to anyone else?" I was trying to find out if he talked to Lucas or Nathan.

Jake-"Nah, just Peyton, she tells about everyone though, she told me you disappeared off the face of the earth. She said you didn't leave a word and you didn't even take you're stuff."

I had left in a hurry so all I took was what I had on.

Haley-"Listen Jake, I left for a reason and I didn't say anything because I didn't want anyone to know where I was."

Jake-"I guessed that, and I'm guessing you don't want me to tell Peyton I saw you."

Haley-"Listen Jake, I'm a new person here a better person, that life is gone now, including the people I knew. If you'll excuse me I have to go, it was good seeing you and I mean that, I hope everything goes well. You should talk to Peyton; I'm sure you guys can work things out again and be with each other. You love her don't waste that."

Jake-"Goodbye Haley, don't worry I won't tell Peyton"

He watched her and goes across the street to where his daughter went to school. A little girl with black hair came running out to her. He knew it had to be her daughter, which meant it probably was Nathan's daughter, which is why she had left.
