Note: Okay, I have to say I was a little heart broken by the reviews...I only got two! Should I even keep writing this? I really want to, but I want to do this for ya'll and if ya'll aren't enjoying it...Well here is the next chpt...maybe the last :( I know that it is really short, but I had no motivation!
"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter any more, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
Brooke sighed as a single tear drop slid down her face. It was the only tear drop she had shed the entire movie. This was surprising because she usually cried buckets during this movie, but tonight the story just didn't seem as sad as her own life. How could she have not realized before how much she loved Lucas? If she could have only caught him, things might be different now. Shaking her head, she realized that if she didn't stop thinking about Lucas more tears drops would soon join the first.
She quietly searched through her purse for her make-up bag, careful not to wake the sleeping girl beside her. Make-up always took her mind off other things, as snobby as it sounded. She loved trying out new colors and shades. She picked out a couple of shades and other products to match her outfit and squished the bag between her legs. She was wearing a light pink tank-top underneath a magenta top that fell on the sides of her shoulders with jeans. She had changed into it on the way to the airport, the third time, because she was sure her other one hadn't smelt that great.
First, she wiped the dark black lines from her face with some water. Then she applied a light, liquid concealer. After it dried, she swiped gray eyeliner thinly around her eyes. Next came the eye-shadow. She pressed on a neutral color for a base then she picked a color called "Fairly A Princess," which was a light, glittery pink and brushed it on the outer creases of her eyes. She decided against mascara, just in case. Dapping on some chap stick she began placing all of her things back in her bag.
"You are really pretty." Brooke turned to see that the girl who was sleeping earlier was now awake and gawking at her. She was probably sixteen or so, and fairly pretty. Brooke smiled.
"Thanks, you too." The girl blushed a little and turned back to the movie that Brooke had abandoned. The girl reminded Brooke of herself a little.
When Brooke had been that age, she had always been looking up to the older, beautiful girls that she saw walking around the mall, laughing and chatting with everyone that came their way. Brooke had wanted to be one of those girls, beautiful and popular. And that's exactly what she had become. But had it made her happy? She had made a lot of mistakes, but she smiled, there had been good times.
Sinking into the happy memories that had finally pushed their way into her head, she closed her eyes.

"When do you think he will get here?" Haley was nervously starring at all of the people walking past her.
"I don't know Haley." Peyton would have normally been more sympathetic, but this was the tenth time that Haley had asked that question.
Haley sighed and picked up a magazine. It was the latest issue of Teen People and Hilary Duff was on the cover. The cover story read "The Hot New Artists of 2005! Picked by your favorite stars! Who did Hilary, Simple Plan, Beyonce, and John Mayer pick? Find out!"
Sighing, Haley flipped open to the article. She already missed touring. She loved being up there on stage, the lights on her, the music playing. She loved it, but she also loved Nathan and she knew that she needed him. Turning back to the article, she pushed her thoughts away.
"You all know who Hilary Duff is right? And you probably know almost everything about her...but do you know who her favorite up and coming artist is? We sat down and interviewed her, along with some of your other favorite artists, and got the scoop!
TP: Thanks for doing this interview Hilary!
HDuff: No problem! I was actually really excited about it!
TP: Okay, let's start off slow. Who is your musical hero? You know the person that got you interested in music?
HDuff: Well, my sister was the one who got me interested at first. But I've always loved Madonna!
TP: Don't we all! So, do you get a lot of time to go to concerts besides your own?
HDuff:(Laughs) No, not really. If I ever go, I usually go in New York, they always have the best concerts!
TP: That's cool! But you have been sighted at a couple Good Charlotte concerts...
HDuff: (Blushes) Well, I really like them! They are so talented!
TP: Not to mention the lead singer isn't too shabby...
HDuff: Yeah, Joel is really amazing...Okay next question!
TP: Okay, who is your favorite up and coming artist?
HDuff: Hmmm...I would definitely have to say a girl named Haley James-Scott. Or Haley James. I think she goes by both."
Haley's heart skipped a beat as she reread the quote. She was in a magazine! She was someone's favorite artist! Quickly turning back to the article, she found herself with her mouth hanging open.
"TP: Tell us about her!"
HDuff: Well her sound is really nice. Mellow. Almost soft-rock. Well maybe not quite soft-rock. I don't really know how to explain it! (Laughs) She is a lot like Sheryl Crow!
TP: Wow that's cool! How did you hear about her?
HDuff: Well I went to one of her concerts, Haylie Duff had gone and she told me about it so I had to see for myself!
TP: Did you meet her?
HDuff: No, I didn't get a chance to! But I'm planning on going back!
TP: Well thanks for this interview!
HDuff: Welcome! Everyone go check Haley out! She's awesome!"
Haley reread the article about thirty times. She had never really liked Hilary Duff, but it was awesome to be recognized by such a huge star! She wondered if her manager knew about this? Looking at the article once more, she noticed a tiny picture of her on stage. under the article. Her picture was in a magazine!
"Peyton!" Haley finally remembered that there were other people on the planet.
Peyton groaned, she had just gotten to sleep. "I don't know when he is going to get here Haley!" Haley shook Peyton's shoulder again.
"No Peyton, I'm in a magazine!" Peyton shot up like a bullet and Haley shoved the article into her hands.
"Wow! Haley this is awesome! I am so proud of you!" Peyton hugged her beaming friend. This really was amazing.
The girls both read and reread the article again and again, happy to have something to celebrate.
Haley had almost forgot about Nathan. "Um, hey."
Haley spun around to face Nathan. "Hey." She whispered, afraid that this was a dream. She really didn't want to wake up.
a/n: Kind of a weird place to end, I know, but this is all I got right now! Sorry! Please review, bad or good!
