December 24th, 9 PM. Eastern Standard Time. New York city. Nathan and Lucas Scott share a rundown loft. Lucas is an aspring film maker. Nathan is a musician who is trying to write one great song. Lucas picks up his camera and films Lucas.
"What
the hell are you doing?" Nathan asked
"Since my scripts
haven't gotten me anywhere, Im gonna do a documentary. Nathan Scott,
who is going on a year of withdrawal. Watch as he tries to write a
song."
The phone rings. Lucas and Nathan screen so the machine picks up
"You guys are still doing that screening
thing?"
"Jake!" Said Lucas after he picked up the
phone "You're back?"
"Yeah, throw down the keys
man"
Lucas went out to the balcony and threw the keys down, then went back inside. Jake is hit from behind and fell to the ground. He is kicked repeatedly and his wallet is taken.
"Where
is Jake?" Asked Nathan
"He shouldve been here by now."
Luke said
The phone rang again
"Jake what
happened?" Luke asked
"Actually, Its chris. Im coming
over to collect the rent that I let slide."
"Let slide?
You said we didnt have to pay when you bought the building. We used
to be roomates."
"I remember. Me you Jake and Brooke.
How is the drama queen?"
"Shes performing tonight"
"I

"Are you guys still together?"
"I got
dumped"
"Does she have a new man?"
"Um..."
"Whats
his name?"
"Peyton."
"Ouch. Now, pay the
rent or get evicted. Its your choice. Ill be there later."
Mark
hung up the phone
"We have to pay rent?" Nathan
asked
"Yeah. Eviction or Pay. This sucks. We're hungry and
frozen"
"Its some life that we've chosen."
"How
are we gonna pay?" Luke asked
"No idea. Help me start a
fire so we can get some heat."
"We have nothing to
burn."
Nathan went over to the well and pulled down his old
rock band's posters. "We'll use these" He said
Luke went
over to a box and pulled out paper "And my old
screenplays."
"Where the hell is Jake?"
"I
dont know" Said Luke picking up his camera "Zoom in as we
burn the past to the ground."
The phone rang again. Luke picked up. "Brooke, what's wrong? The sound's not working? Yeah Ill come later to help you."
"Luke how can you leave
the past behind, when it keeps finding ways to get to your
heart?"
"Shut up Nate. We're not gonna pay last years
rent."
"or this years rent"
"Or next years
rent"
"Fuck the rent" They both shouted
together
Meanwhile
Mouth, a street drummer, saw Jake lying on the ground.
"Did
they get any money?" Mouth asked
"My wallet was empty
but they wrecked my coat."
"Im mouth"
"Jake"
Mouth
helped him up. "Ill get you some band-aids. After that Im going
to a life support meeting. Its for people with HIV or AIDS but
everyone's welcome."
"Actually I have AIDS too"
"We'll
get along fine"
"Id lke to go but my friends are waiting
for me"
"Are You blushing?"
Jake stammered but
couldnt respond
"I dont take no for an answer."
"Ill
come" Said jake
smiling
-
"Nate
are you going Brooke's show tonight?"
"No"
"Luke
picked up his camera. "Zoom in on Nathan. His girlfriend April
left a note saying 'We've got AIDS' before slitting her wrists in the
bathroom"
"Fuck off man"
"Remember to take
your AZT. Im gonna go look for Jake."
Nathan picked up his
guitar and began playing chords. He startes singing broken lyrics
"One song glory...One song before I go...find the last
refrain...pretty boy front man...wasted oppurtunities...one song
before the sun sets...Time flies-time dies...One blaze of glory...a
song about love from the soul of a young man...before the virus takes
hold...redeem empty life..Time Flies-Time dies"
There is
a know on the door. Nathan opens it to reveal a beautiful young woman
holding a candle.
"Do you have a light?" She asked
"Do
I know you... You're shivering." Nathan said as he put his
jacket over her
"They turned off my heat. Would you light my
candle? What are you staring at?"
Nathan got a book of
macthes an lit her candle"You're hair in the moon light. You
look familar."
The girl stumbled a bit "Can you make
it?" Nathan asked
"I just haven't eaten much
today"
"Your smile reminds me of.."
"I
always remind people of..Who is she?"
"She died. Her
name was April."
The girl discretly blew out her candle. "Its
out again. Im sorry about your friend. Will you light my candle?"
Nathan lights it"The was is"
"Dripping. I like it
between my "
"Fingers! I figured." Nathan said
cutting her off and backing away from her. The girl left but knocked
an re-entered shoon after
"It blew out again?" Nathan
asked
"No, I dropped my stash."
"Ive seen you
around before. Um Your candles out."
"Im illing. I had
it went I came in. It was pure. Is it on the floor?"
"The
floor?"
She gets down on the floor and begings to crawl on
her hands and knees to find it. "They say that I have the best
ass below 14th street. Is it true?"
"What?"
"You're
staring again."
"Oh no.. I mean you do have a nice...I
mean you look familar" Nathan stammered
"Like your dead
girlfriend?"
"Only when you smile but I think I've seen
you somewhere else?"
"Do you go to the cat scracth club?
Thats where I work-I dance."
"Yes! They used to tie you
up" Said Nathan slyly
"Its a living"
"I
didn't recognize you without the handcuffs. You should really stop
using. What are you 16?"
"Im 19 but Im old for my age. I
just born to be bad."
"I used to think I was born to be
bad. I uses to shiver like you."
"I told you I have no
heat."
"I used to sweat."
"Ive got a
cold"
"Uh huh. I used to be a junkie."
"Now
and then I like to feel good."
Nathan sees the drugs on the
floor" Here it is"
"You found it?"
"On
no sorry. It was a candy bar wrapper. He said as he slipped it into
his back pocket. the girl grabbed a match and re-lit he candle. When
she wasn't looking, Nathan pinched out the flame.
"What did
you do with my candle?"
"That was my last match. I'm
Nathan"
"Haley." Haley leaned in to Nathan as if
she was going to kiss him. She went into his back pocket and pulled
out her stash.
"Thanks for the light" SHe said as she
left the apartment
Soon after, Luke came home with Jake.
"So
Jake what happened at MIT?" Nate asked
" I was fired for
my theory of actual reliaty. But now I have a job at NYU. Nate have
you left the house at all yet?"
"Nope"
"Come
to Brooke's show"
"No"
"Fine. I have somone
I would you like you to meet."" Mouth enters, no dressed in
drag and carrying 2,000 dollars in cash."
"Nathan-Mouth"
"Hi"
Nathan said. "How did you earn that money on the street?"
"
A lady in a limo drove my way. She said her neighbor's dog akita
evita would not shut up. SHe said that if I played non stop outside
it would bark itself to death. 1,000 tax free another 1,000 if I
trimmed her tree. After I played for an hour, the dog came to the
window sill. Eventually it went over the edge to see what was making
all the noise. Surely enough, she is now in doggy hell. Then I saw
Jake lying on the street so I took him home and nursed his
wounds."
"Wow" Nathan said
Chris suddenly
barged into the appartment. Luke picked up his camera. 'Close up:
Chris Keller III, who married Allison Grey of the westport Greys. He
bought the entire building to make a studio."
"Fuck off
Luke"
"Chris what happened to you? You used to have
heart."
"The rent is due"
"We're broke and
you broke your word." Luke said
"If you convince Brooke
to cancel here protest, you can live here rent free."
"Why
not call the cops?" Luke asked
"They're on stand-by. But
my investors want me to handle this quietly."
"You're
investors? Dont you mean youe father-in-law and his company?"
Jake asked
"Stop the protest or pack" Chris sad as he
left
"Hes such an ass" Nate shouted
"We better
get going. Mouth and I are going to a life support meeting. Do you
wanna come Nathan?"
"Nope"
"ANd I gotta
save Brooke's protest." Luke
said
Luke
went into the empty lot behind the building, where Brooke was going
to be performing.
"Who are you?" He asked
"Im
Peyton."
"Oh.."
"You're Mark?"
"Yup."
"I
told Brooke not to call you."
"Can I help since Im
here?"
"Yeah the samples wont delay."
"OK"
Luke went over and began to adjust the wires
"This is weird."
Peyton said
"Its weird"
"Really weird"
"Fucking
weird."
"This sucks. Im freezing, fighting with
microphones and Im with you."
"Its what Brooke does. I
call it the Tango:Brookie. Has she ever called you
pookie?"
"Never"
"Have you ever doubted a
kiss?"
"Yes...Did you swoon when she walked through the
door?"
"Everytime."
"Did she moon over
other boys?"
"More than moon."
"Im gonna be
sick...She cheated?"
"She cheated."
"Brooke
cheated?"
"Fucking cheated."
"I should give
up"
"You'd fall for her again."
"I know her
grip on romance makes you fall"
"I got the mic fixed
though. I actually feel great now" Luke left leaving Peyton to
question her realtionship with
Brooke.
At
the apartment, Roger was still playing his guitar. Haley entered
through the balcony window ran over and kissed him. He pulled away
angrily
"What the hell do you think you're doing barging in
here? Leave! The door is that way. Dont forget your powder and your
candle! If you're looking for romance come back another
day!"
"Nathan, there's only us. There's only this.
Forget regret or life is yours to miss."
"Haley if you
so smart, then why do you use drugs? ANother time or another place we
could be together but I can't. If you wanna prove me wrong come back
another day."
"Theres only now. Theres only here. Give
in to love or live in fear."
"Damn it, just leave"
Nathan shouted as her brought her to the door and slammed the door
behind
her
Jake
and Mouth talk in the street.
"What do you like brown?"
Mouth asked
"What?"
"For your coat."
"Mouth,
you dont have to"
"Shhh. Its christmas."
"Thanks
you."
The both looked up to see that it had begun to
snow
"Kiss me its beginning to snow" Mouth Said. Jake
kissed him and then they went to the lot where Brooke was
performing
Meanwhile, In the street, Nathan ran up to
Lucas
"Nathan, you came out?" Luke asked in
shock
"Haley...needed a light for her candle." Nathan
said out of breath
"What?" Luke asked confused
"I
got mad but I pushed her away. There she is!" Nathan ran over to
Haley, who was in the process of buying drugs. "Haley, lets go
talk." He said grabbing her hand. "You leave her alone. She
doesn't need you anymore." Nathan said to the dealer "Haley
Im sorry about before."
"Forget about it."
"A
bunch of people are going to dinner after Brooke's
protest."
"And?"Haley asked with a smile
"DO
you wanna come with me?"
"Sure."
Nathan took her
hand and they walked over to the lot. They met up with
Luke,Jake,mouth,and Peyton. They saw hris in the crowd
"Looks
like trouble." Luke said poiting to him. Brooke came out on
stage and began:
"Last night I had a dream. I found
myself in a desert
called Cyberland. It was hot. My canteen had
sprung
a leak and I was thirsty. Out of the abyss walked a
cow
- Elsie. I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said, "I'm
forbidden to produce milk. In Cyberland,
we only drink Diet
Coke."
She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the
moon"
"They've closed everything real down ... like
barns,
troughs, performance spaces ... and replaced it all
with
lies and rules and virtual life.
But there is a way out.Only thing
to do is jump over the moon.
I gotta get out of here! It's like
I'm being tied
to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being
packed
in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff
by
a suicidal Mickey Mouse! - I've gotta find a way
Then a little
bulldog entered. His name (we have
learned) was Benny. And
although he once had
principles, he abandoned them to live as a
lap dog
to a wealthy daughter of the revolution.
"That's
bull," he said. "Ever since the cat took
up the fiddle,
that cow's been jumpy. And the dish
and the spoon were evicted
from the table - and
eloped ... she's had trouble with that milk
and the
moon ever since. Maybe it's a female thing. 'Cause
who'd
want to leave Cyberland anyway?... Walls ain't
so bad. The dish
and the spoon for instance. They
were down on their luck - knocked
on my doghouse door.
I said, "Not in my backyard, utensils!
Go back to
China!" "The only way out is up," Elsie
whispered to
me. "A leap of faith. Still thirsty?" she
asked.
Parched. "Have some milk." I lowered myself
beneath
her and held my mouth to her swollen udder and sucked
the
sweetest milk I'd ever tasted."
"Climb on board,"
she said. And as a harvest moon
rose over Cyberland, we reared
back and sprang into a
gallop. Leaping out of orbit!
Maureen
Backups

I awoke singing Leap of faith,
etc.
Only thing to do
Only thing to do is jump
Only thing to

Only thing to do is jump over the

Over the moon - over
the
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moooooooo
Moo with
me."
The crowd began mooing. Suddenly the cops came in
and all hell broke lose. People were becoming violent. Chris was the
first one to leave. Luke grabbed Brooke off the stage and ran off
with the other. After the protest they went to the Life Cafe.
"You
can't eat here tonight." The waiter said
"Why?"
asked Luke
"We have a very important customer tonight and you
can never pay when you buy anyhting."
Mouth pulled out hsi
money. "Tonight we can pay." He said as they walked into
the resturant. Chris walked over to them. "Great show
Brooke."
"Go to hell"
"Hey chris why didn't
allison come?" Nathan asked
"There was a death in the
family."
"Who?"
"Our Akita Evita."
Mouth
Jake Luke and Nate all exchanged looks after hearing this and began
to laugh
Chris ignored them "Im just trying to improve the
neighborhood. This is calcutta. Bohemia is dead."
Jake jumped
on to the table and said "In honor of the death of Bohemia an
impromptu salon will commence immediately following dinner... Haley
James,clad only in bubble wrap, will perform her famous
lawn
chair-handcuff dance to the sounds of iced tea being
stirred."
Nathan jumped up next to him and said "Lucas
Scott will preview his new documentary about his
inability to hold
an erection on high holy days."
Luke was next "Brooke
Davis, back from her spectacular one-night engagement at the eleventh
street lot, will sing Native American tribal chants backwards through
her vocoder, while accompanying herself
on the electric cello -
which she has never studied. And Nathan will attempt to write a
bitter sweet evocative song..." Nathan picked up his Guitar and
began to play. "A song that doesn't remind us of Muesetta's
waltz." Luke said after Nathan played
Jake went again "Mouth
McFadden will now model the latest fall fashions from Paris while
accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub."
Mouth
Jumped up next to Jake "And Jake will recount his exploits as an
anarchist -including the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T.
virtual reality equipment to self-destruct, as it broadcast
the
words:"ACTUAL REALITY-ACT UP-FIGHT AIDS"
Chris
grabbed Haley and pulled her aside
"Does Nathan know about
us?" He asked
"It was three months ago."
"You
guys dont act like your together."
"We're taking it
slow."
"Where is he now?"
"He right..I dont
know." Haley went and looked for Nathan. SHe found him sitting
alone in the corner. "Why did you invite me if you were just
gonna ignore me all night?" Haley asked him
"Listen Ive
got baggage. Its not that simple."
"Baby, so do I. Im
looking for baggage that goes with mine" Haley beeper went off.
"Azt break" She said as she took a pill
"You?"
Nathan asked in shock
"Me.You?"
"Haley."Nathan
took her hand and brought her outside.
"Haley, I should tell
you...I dont know where to begin."
"Ill start. I kept
blowing the candle out to spend more time with you."
"Id
forgotten how to smile, until your candle burned my skin."
"Where
do we go from here?" Haley asked timidly
Nathan leaned in and
kissed her. Haley smiled and then kissed him back. They held hands
and walked back to the cafe. They arrived just in time for some
drama
"Its over Brooke." Peyton shouted
"What?"
Asked Brooke
"You spent the whole night flirting with the
waitress."
"But Pookie."
"Youve never
called me Pookie before." Peyton looked at Luke and Luke mouther
"I told you" to her
"Its over Brooke." Peyton
said as she left
"Wow." Brooke said is disbelief
"Hey
Brooke this probablly isnt gonna help but Channel 5 just bought my
footage of the riot, so your protest is gonna be on TV."Luke
said
"Thats great!" Brooke said hugging Mark
"Um
guys" Jake interuptted and pointed to the corner where Nathan
and Haley were making out. "Get a room" Luke shouted with a
smile. Nathan and Haley laughed and wnet over to join the
others.
"Hey its 12:04. Merry christmas everyone!" Mouth
said
11:55
PM on new years eve. Chris Padlocked the front door to the aprtment
building, Luke picked up his camera and focused on Haley. "Close
up: Haley James-Catch Scratch Club dancer extradinaire. Whats you New
Years Resolution Haley?"
"Im giving up my vices. Im
gonna go back to school"
"Nathan, Yours?"
"Im
gonna try to be happy. That should be pretty since Im with Haley."
Haley smiled and kissed Nathan
"I brought chips." Brooke
said as she walked up to everyone
"Close up: Brooke Davis who
is the emboiement of the phrase 'You can take the girl out of
Hicksville but you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl'"
"Fuck
off Mark." Brooke said
Peyton showed up next.
"Pookie
Hi."
"Im not here for you Brooke. Nate and Luke needed
some legal advice. Luke, your best bet is to get inside your
aprtment, which would make you a squatter. Then the police can't
touch you and Benny can't force you to leave."
"Thanks"
Said Luke
"Peyton please. Ill learn to behave, give me one
more chance. Let me be your slave. Ill kiss your Doc
Martens."
"Brooke, its over. You need to accept
that."
Jake and Moyuth showed up. Mouth grabbed a barrel and
broke the padlock off.
"How the hell did you do that?"
Nathan asked impressed
"I watch alot of TV"
They all
went up to the room. Luke checked the messages. One of them was from
the Tv tabloid show "Buzzline" offering him a job. Before
he had to time consider this Chris entered the apartment
"You
beat me to it" He said as he entered
"What?" asked
Nathan
"I've decided to let you stay."
"What
changed your mind?" Asked Luke
"Haley, came by my office
and convicned me."
Nathan shot Haley an angry look when he
heard this
"Here are your keys" Chris said handing them
to Luke
"That great Chris. You can go now." Nathan said
angrily
"Haley since I knwo you have amazing persuasion
skills, could you persuade Nathan to stop being an ass?" Chris
asked looking at Nathan
"Screw you Chris." Nathan
said
"Haley why dont you tell Nathan what you wore to our
meeting?"
"I was on my way to work." Haley said
looking at Nathan
"She wore Black leather and Lace. My desk
was a mess and I think Im still sore."
"Thats because I
kicked you and told you that I wasn't your whore!" Haley
yelled
"So Haley does your boyfriend know who your last
boyfriend was?" Asked Chris with a grin
"Im not her
boyfriend and I dont care what she does!" Nathan shouted
bitterly. Haley ran out the door with tears in her eyes. Nathan
chased after her.
"Haley, wait!" He called after
her
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time
"You
gonna come back up?" Nathan asked
"Yeah I just need a
minute. Im fine, really" Nathan kissed her and went back to his
apartment. Haley was approched by her drug dealer. "Hey Haley
you wanna make it a happy new year?" He
asked
A
month later, Nathan was growing incrasinly Jealous.
"Im
sorry Im late." Haley said
"Did you lose you keys? Wait
You decided to take a walk. Or did your mom need help? And How is
Chris doing?" Nathan asked looking at the ground
"Nathan
come one"
"Im actually gonna go for a walk. Alone."
He said as he left her. Haley always hoped Nathan would change his
behavior, but he didn't. Haley grew incrasinly depressed and began
using drugs again. Nathan saw her injecting heroin one night but he
didn't do anything. The next day he saw her lying in an alley
shivering. He carried her back to his partment and stayed up all
night with her while she recovered.
"You need to stop Haley.
I cant lose you too." He said with his voice breaking
"Nathan
its just so."
"For me Haley. Do it for me. We can do
this together."
"You won't lose me Nathan." Nathan
kissed her forehead and hugged her. A week later Nathan spotted Haley
with her dealer. He was furious. "Haley what the hell are you
doing? You promised me!" He shouted
"Nathan please."
SHe said pleading with him
"No Haley we're done" She
said taking the drugs from her hand and throwing them back at her
face
"Nathan I just"
"No Haley. You wanna die in
an alley with a needle hanging from your arm? I could care less, but
Im not gonna watch you do it. Its over" He walked away. Haley
sat down on the ground and began to cry. Chris spotted her. "Come
on Haley. Ill take you home." He said helping her
up
Across
town, Mouth was growing increasinly ill at a hospital. Jake holds him
with tears in his eyes. Mouth Dies in Jakes Arms.
The funereal was
held 3 days later. Jake got up to speak. "Mouth was the
sweetest, most loving person Ive ever met. He was the most positive
person and he taught me how to live my life and to not let me watch
it go by. I love him" Jake began to cry "I love him and now
he's gone" Jake could not go on. Luke hugged him and then
everyone went to the cementary for the burial. Each of them placed a
rose on the coffin before it went into the ground. Haley walked up to
Nathan
"I heard you sold you guitar and bought a car."
She said to him
"Yea, Im going to Sante Fe. I heard your with
Chris."
"You said you'd never talk to him again."
Chris said to Haley
"Not now Chris."
"Dont tell
her what to do" Brooke said
"Mind your own buissness"
peyton said to Brooke
"I wasnt talking to you." Brooke
said
"Typical Brooke. She'd never admit I existed."
Peyton said
"Nate was the same way. 'Run away-don't commit'
Youre so full of shit!" Haley shouted at him
"Calm down"
Luke said
Peyton replied" I wish I had what Mouth and Jake
had"
"Yeah someone who wasn't afraid to say 'I love
you'" Haley said
"You want love Haley? Its not a 3 way
street" He said pointing to Chris "You'll never be in love
until you love yourself-I know" Nathan said
Jake grabbed
Nathan "Stop-for my sake. Mouth is gone. You're leaving. I cant
belive this is good-bye."
Brooke went up to Peyton. Peyton
kissed her. "Im sorry Peyton." All peyton could do was hug
Brooke. They left. Jake went inside to pay for the funereal and Chris
left with Haley.
"How could she?" Nathan asked watching
Haley
"You let her go" Luke said
" We lost
Mouth" Nathan said quietly
"Theres still o much to care
about. Me-Haley."
"Who are you to tell me how to live my
life?"
"Your brother..Your friend."
"But
who are you? Everyone says your dedicated to your work when you
really hide in your work."
"From what?"
"Failure.
Lonleness. The fact you live a lie. I mean you always preach not to
be numb but thats how you thrive. You pretend to create when you
really detach from feeling alive."
"Maybe its because Im
the one who survives."
"Poor baby" Nathan yelled at
him
"Haley loves you. Are you jealous or afraid that she's
weak."
"She did look pale." Nathan said
quietly
"SHes running out of time and your leaving
town."
"Ive goota go" Nathan walked away with tears
in his eyes. He saw Haley standing behind a near bye tree. "You
heard?"
"Yeah. You want a lifetime guarentee. You dont
wanna watch me die. I just want to see Goodbye, Love." She said
crying. She touched his hand and he ran off.
Luke and Chris walked
up to her. Chris put his hand on her shoulder
"Dont touch me.
Im scared I need to go away."
"I know this place- a
rehab" Luke suggested quietly
"Could you?" Haley
asked
"Ill pay" said chris
gently
Its Christmas eve. Luke decided to take the job at Buzzline. He was miserable and he felt that his job was meaningless. He gegan to think about Last Year's Christmas Eve. "Thats It!" He thought to himself. "Mouth his my film!"He called up Buzz line to quit so he could have time to work on his own film.
Nathan was also
miserable in Sante Fe. He constantly sees Mimi everywhere. "That
It! Mimi's My song!" He sold his car and bought a bus ticket to
new york. When he arrived back, he bought his guitar back from the
pawn shop. He went back to his apartment
"You're back"
Luke said hugging him
"Yeah." Nate said smiling
"Ive
finshed my film. Its screening tonight."
"That great!
What else is new?"
"Allision dumped chris. SHe found out
about Haley"
"Um where is Haley?"
"Im sorry
Nate but no one has seen her in 2 weeks. SHe left Rehab and no ones
see her since."
Nathan stood in shock. "Im gonna go find
her"
"Help!" They heard Brooke call out. They went
to the balcony to see Jake Peyton and Brooke carrying Haley. They
carried her upstairs.
"Put her on the table." Nathan
said. Luke grabbed a blanketr and placed it one the table before Jake
put her down
"We found herin the park and asked to come
here." Brooke said
"Nathan?" Haley asked quietly
"You're back?"
"Im back, baby. Im back. Im not
going anywhere." Nathan said as he sat down on the edge of the
table next to her
"Im calling 911" Jake said. Peyton
Brooke and Luke sat quietly as the watched Nathan and Mimi
"Nathan,
I need to tell you Chris wasn't any..."
"Shhh. I know"
Nathan said brushing her hair away from her face. "Haley about
why I left, It wasn't because I didn't..."
"I know"
Haley said touching Nathan's face "Nathan, I Love you"
Haley muttered.
"Haley, hold on. You need to hear this-my
song. I found my song" Nathan began to sing to her:
"Your
Eyes
As We Said Our Goodbyes
Can't Get Them Out Of My Mind
And
I Find I Can't Hide (From)
Your Eyes
The Ones That Took Me By
Surprise
The Night You Came Into My Life
Where There's
Moonlight
I See Your Eyes
How'd I Let You Slip Away
When
I'm Longing So To Hold You
Now I'd Die For One More Day
'Cause
There's Something I Should
Have Told You
Yes There's Something
I Should Have
Told You
When I Looked Into Your Eyes
Why
Does Distance Make Us Wise?
You Were The Song All Along
And
Before The Song Dies
I Should Tell You I Should Tell You
I
Have Always Loved You
You Can See It In My Eyes"
Haley
closed her eyes and her hand fell flat. "Haley!" Nathan
cried. Everyone stood still not knowing what to say or do.
"Do

"Would you light my candle?" Haley
asked

"Her
fevers breaking." Jake said
"Nice song" Haley said
before kissing Nathan
"Thank god this moments not the last."
Nathan said, holding Haley in his arms.
"So do you guys still
wanna see my movie?" Luke asked
Everyone laughed.
"Yeah
Man play it up." Jake said. Luke played the movie. Everyone sat
together and watched it. Jake as well as everyone else was in tears
after watching Lukes tribute to mouth.
"Thank you. Mouth
would've loved that" Jake said hugging Luke.
They all sat
together knowing that they were a family and that nothing would ever
tear them apart again
