Author's Note: Hey all, sorry it's been so long. I'm glad that you still like my story. I honestly didn't think anybody would, everything seems to be Naley now a days. I personally am not a fan of anything Naley related. I'm happy that you were all so excited about Nathan getting his ass kicked, that means I've done my work in making Nathan the bad guy. And like I promised before, Nathan and Haley will meet again some tome in the future, but it will not be a very nice meeting. Don't hold your breath for a Naley reunion, it ain't gonna happen. Okay, so now that I got that out of the way, I can get on with the next chapter.

The girls had been so happy when they walked into the bank, everyone in the building turned to look at them. They completely ignored their stares and proceeded to get their check cashed. When they had the money in their hands they quickly ran back outside to their car and went in search of a place to eat.

"Tigger," Haley argued. "I just won us three thousand dollars, we are not going to go waste it on some fancy dinner. We need to save it." Brooke frowned in disappointment.

"So we're going to McDonalds again?"

"Come on," Haley tried. "It's not like you don't like it. You love McDonalds so stop pouting." Brooke held the pout firmly in place for a moment longer before she broke out into a huge grin. Haley smiled. "That's the spirit."

"How much longer until we get to New York?" Brooke asked, getting really tired of driving. She always thought that a road trip would be so much fun, but it turns out that every town looks pretty much the same as Tree Hill so far. She was very bored with it all already. Haley looked at the map that was spread out on her lap.

"I'd say that we should be there pretty soon," she answered, following the line they need to travel with her index finger. She too was sick of the road trip life. She was just happy that she was getting her morning sickness yet.

"How soon is soon, Tutor Girl?" Brooke tried to look at the map, but Haley had it out of her sight. She sighed and turned the radio up.

"Maybe another day," Haley finally concluded. "If we drive all day today and have a short stay at a motel for the night, we should be there around dinner time tomorrow." Brooke's face lit up at the mention of a motel.

"I can get it for free this time, right?" she asked excitedly. "You wouldn't let me last night so that means I get to this time." Haley rolled her eyes, not knowing what was so exciting about flirting with some dirty guy.

"You surely can," Haley answered, not as much enthusiasm in her voice as Brooke had in her's. She tried to look out the window, but quickly closed her eyes when she saw the sun. "You got a spare pair of sunglasses anywhere in here?" Brooke tried to remember if she did or not.

"Maybe," she answered. "If I do, they'll be in the glove compartment. Check in there." Haley did so and smiled when she found a pair of designer Gucci sunglasses.

"Found them," she cheered, closing the door and slipping them on. She tried to look out the window again and smiled when she wasn't blinded. She looked for a sign that told them where the nearest fast food restaurant was. Brooke watched her out of the corner of her eye.

"Whatcha looking for?"

"Just keeping an eye out for a McDonald's sign," Haley answered, giving Brooke a quick glance before turning back to the window. Brooke smiled.

"Oh, I saw a sign a few miles back," Brooke informed her. Haley turned to look at her. "We should be there in like five minutes." Haley nodded and tried to find something else to do. She folded the map up and shoved it in the holder in her door.

"We gonna eat in there or drive through?" Brooke smiled, noticing that Haley was in desperate need of conversation. Deciding that this probably wouldn't be the best or most lasting conversation, she turned it towards something a little more important.

"Do we know where we're going to be staying when we finally do make it to New York?" she asked the other girl. Haley was a little surprised at the sudden change in subject, but quickly came to her senses.

"Oh yeah, "she began. "One of my sisters lives up there. I was thinking we could crash with her until we find our own place." Brooke raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow; she just figured that they would be staying in a motel.

"You think she'd be cool with that?' Brooke asked. She didn't want to be a burdened to anyone, especially a member of Haley's family. Haley shrugged her shoulders.

"I haven't called her yet, but I don't see why not," Haley answered. "She's probably the coolest of all the James children, she's my favourite sibling. I'm sure she wouldn't mind." Brooke nodded and spotted the restaurant they were looking for. She put her turning signal on and prepared to turn into the parking lot.

"Well, you do plan on calling her before we get there, right?" Brooke asked, finding a parking spot and pulling into it. Haley nodded as Brooke turned off the car.

"Yeah," Haley answered. "Actually, I'll give her a call right now. Why don't you go in and order of us?" Brooke nodded and grabbed her purse. She found her wallet and pulled out her last twenty bucks, figuring that would be enough. She didn't want to have to break any big bills from the bank. She smiled at that thought, big bills.

"Sounds like a plan," she answered, unbuckling her seatbelt. "What do you want? Same thing as before?" Haley nodded as she pulled out her cell phone. Brooke waved goodbye and got out of the car, making her way over to the entrance door. Haley scrolled down her phonebook in her cell, hoping that she had her sister's apartment number in there. She sighed in relief when she found it and pressed call. She quickly check her watch to see what time it was, hoping thatTaylor would be there. After three rings someone finally picked up.

"Hello?" the female voice asked. Haley frowned, not thinking that it was her sister. It must be one of her friends or something.

"Hi," Haley greeted. "IsTaylor there, please?"

"May I ask who's calling?"

"Just tell her it her baby sister," Haley asked, knowing thatTaylor would know it was her and not one of their other sisters. She listened as the girl called forTaylor and told her who it was. She smiled when she heardTaylor cheer when she found out it was her. After a moment of listening to the phone exchange hands, she heard Taylor's voice.

"Hay?" Taylor asked excitedly. Haley smiled, glad thatTaylor was so happy to hear from her. Out of all the sibling that they had in their family, her andTaylor were the closest for some reason. "Haley James is that you?"

"The one and only," Haley laughed. She suddenly felt bad that she didn't talk to her older sister as much as she had promised whenshe had first moved out of the house, leaving Haley the only one still living at home. "How've you been?"

"Great and you?" she asked, not believing that she was talking to Haley. The call was just so out of the blue she didn't know what to expect. Suddenly, she realized that Haley must want something. She smiled. "So, what do you want?"

"Want?" Haley repeated, getting nervous at the knowing tone in her sister's voice. "Tay, what makes you think I want something?"Taylor shook her head in amusement at how easy Haley was to read, even over the phone.

"Come on, Haley-bub," she teased. "This is me you're talking to. I know you better than anyone." Haley sighed, knowing that was true. After everything that had happened between them, not even Luke knew her as well asTaylor did. "You want something. What is it?"

"Fine," she sighed in defeat. "I kind of moved out of the house. And by moved out, I mean ran away." She waited for the yelling she knew she was going to receive form her older sister.

"You ran away?" Kate repeated. She couldn't believe that Haley, the smartest and most sensible out of all the James children had run away from home. She smiled. "Good for you."

"What?"

"Good for you,"Taylor repeated, with a laugh at the shock she heard in Haley's voice. "I know that mom and dad aren't treating you great. They're never there for more than three days on end. So, where are you headed?"

"That's where the wanting something comes in," Haley informed her. Taylor's eyes widened, realizing what her sister was asking her.

"You're coming to New York?"

"Yeah," Haley answered. "Do you by any chance have an extra room to spare for you're homeless baby sister?"Taylor sighed.

"For how long?" She looked around the apartment at all the people that were hanging out there. If her little sister was moving in with her, there would be a lot less partying going on and she knew that her friend wouldn't be happy about that.

"A week maybe," Haley answered quickly, wanting to reassure her that it won't be for very long. "I promise. Just until I find a new place."

"Oh, yeah, sure,"Taylor answered, not knowing that it would only be a week. That wouldn't be any trouble at all.

"Thanks," Haley cheered. Just then, Brooke got back in the car with their bag f food in hand. She saw Haley talking on the phone.

"Oh, is that your sister?" Haley nodded, trying to motion for her to keep quiet. "What did she say? Can we stay with her?"Taylor overheard her talking.

"We?"

"Uh, yeah," Haley answered, guilty. "See, I have this friend Brooke who kind of suggested the whole running away thing. We're going to get an apartment together when we get there. Is it okay if she stays too? We can share a bed and everything. I know you only have one extra room."Taylor smiled as she listened to her sister babble, forgetting how much she had missed it.

"Sure," she answered. "Just call when you guys get here and I'll give you directions. I can't wait to see you, baby.I miss you so much."

"Same here."

"Okay, I'll see you soon,"Taylor said. "Oh and Hay?"

"Yeah?"

"I expect the full explanation as to why you left." Haley frowned. "I know it had nothing to do with mom and dad."

"Okay," she sighed. "I love you."

"I love you, too,"Taylor sign songed. "Bye."

"Bye." Haley hung up the phone and sighed. Brooke watched the sad expression on her face and tried to figure out what that meant. She assumed that they got a place to stay. "She said yeah."

"That's great," Brooke cheered. She saw the sad look on Haley's face. "That's not great?" Haley sighed and looked at her.

"She said I had to tell her everything when we get there," Haley explained. "I mean, Taylor James isn't exactly the most perfect example of the ideal daughter or sister, but I've always looked up to her, you know? I'm just scared she'll be dissappoined." Brooke nodded. Not knowing how to cheer her friend up, she just handed Haley her food and they ate in silence.

All done for now. I hope it was okay. I know there wasn't much drama or anything, but I couldn't' think of anything. They will get to New York in the next two chapters and then I'm probably going to skip to a month ahead. I know exactly how I want the last scene of this story to go and it's after the baby is born. So I figure is I want this to be less than a hundred chapters than I'm gonna have to speed things up. Anyway, tell me what you think, please. Thanks. Peace.
