Okay, so I'm a new writer. I won't reveal my age or my true identity, so don't ask. I accept criticism, but please be polite. Don't use strong words that would put a dapper on my feelings. Thanks, everyone. Love ya.

I am writing this story about One Tree Hill. It is taking place immediately after the second season. Not starting from the third. So imagine Haley on Nathan's doorstep; Dan in the burning office; Brooke crying in the taxi; and Lucas and Peyton crying on the beach.

Brooke sat in the yellow taxi on her way to the airport. I can't believe my parents, who by the way don't even act like parents, are making me move to California. The shopping's got to be good. She giggled with tears running down her face. I still can't believe Lucas said he loved me. Why now? Why right before I left instead of a week before?

She looked out the cab window, passing all the little shops.

"Where are you vacationing to sweetheart?" the fat taxi driver asked.

Brooke felt a little surprised. She forgot she was in the taxi. "Um, no…actually. I'm moving," This feels weird to say out loud. "I'm moving to California."

"The other side of the country? Big change," he grimaced slightly.

Brooke looked out her window, as it started to rain.

Nathan started to close the door on Haley when she stopped him. "Nathan…let me explain." He opened the door again.

"Yeah, looks like you have a lot. Like, why did you stop wearing your wedding ring? And why did you announce on live television that you and Chris were a couple?" Nathan asked all of these with an angry expression.

Haley got nervous, seeing as Nathan would take anything for an answer when it concerned Chris, especially the wedding ring part. "Nathan, you know it wasn't me who told the interviewers. It was Chris. You know that."

"Haley, it doesn't matter. You didn't wear the ring."

"Nathan…"

"Haley, I don't need this right now. We're done this time." He slammed the door.

Haley was left to cry on his doorstep. I don't have a singing career anymore…and now I don't have a husband. She got up to leave and walked down the street.

Lucas and Peyton were on the beach hugging.

"I just can't believe she's gone. She's my best friend and now I don't have one." Peyton cried into Lucas's shoulder.

"You have me." Lucas said looking into Peyton's eyes. "I'll be here for you."

Peyton went back into the hug. "Jake's gone. Brooke's gone. Everyone is leaving in my life. And now I have a stalker."

Lucas pulled away. "What? A stalker?" He had a serious look on his face. "Is this from the web cam? Peyton, this is serious."

"Nah, I'm pretty sure it's nothing. I told her to stop it."

"You know to come to me or the police if this person keeps bothering you."

"I know."

Okay, so I didn't get to the Dan part of the story. Or the Karen part. Also, sorry this chapter is so short. It's my first one, but they will get longer. Just to let all my readers know I am a Naley (Nathan/Haley) shipper, Brucas (Brooke/Lucas) shipper, and a Jeyton (Jake/Peyton) shipper. Some stuff will need to be mixed up at times, but those are the main couples I will try to work with. Love ya.
