I own nothing still :(

Chapter 1: Anniversary of Leaving

Haley was busy running around her office getting everything ready for an upcoming fashion show. Right now she was working with Michel trying to figure out which outfits would go on each model. Somehow they got off of topic.

"So I was out at the club last night and there were three hot guys checking me out. I am going out with one of them tonight," Michel said to Haley. Michel was French and very gay.

"Good for you, I'm staying home doing nothing tonight. I'll probably just finish everything for the fashion show so we will have an easy day tomorrow," Haley said.

"You know, I have some straight friends that I could hook you up with. They have asked about you, you should go out with one of them."

"I am not on the market. You and Caitlin have been trying to set me up on dates since I got here and I still won't go."

"I know, but it has been four years since you left, you need to move on past Hill Tree."

"Tree Hill," she corrected him.

"Whatever, you need to get a life here now."

"I'm still married, I never sent the divorce papers and Nathan doesn't know where I am."

"So send the papers, you need closure."

"I don't want closure, I'm still living in some fantasy land thinking I'll find him someday and we'll be happy together," Haley said. She wanted to be with Nathan, but she couldn't. She didn't want to hold him back; if she had stayed he wouldn't be where he is now.

"Whatever you say, I just think you should move on. When you decide you want to, let me know and I can help you."

"Fine, let's just get back to work, the fashion show is in two days and I promised Stephanie I would be back before dinner because she has a night class tonight."

Meanwhile at Duke…

Nathan and Lucas were in their dorm room that they shared with Jake. Lucas was trying to convince Nathan to get out of the room and do something.

"I don't feel like going out," Nathan said.

"You never feel like going out. You really should let Brooke set you up with that cheerleader that likes you."

"I don't want to go out with some mindless cheerleader that likes me because she thinks I have a nice ss."

"Then at least go out and do something. Go to the court and practice or something. Or, you could pack for our trip to NYC. Don't forget we leave on Friday morning," Lucas reminded him.

"How could I forget, it's all Brooke ever talks about when she's here. If I hear anymore about how New York City has the best shopping and good pizza."

Nathan, Lucas, Brooke, Jake, and Peyton were all going to New York for two weeks while school was out for the winter break. Dan and Deb were paying for the whole trip. They were going to be staying at The Plaza, which is where Haley lives in the penthouse. They, however, were unaware of that fact.

Lucas was also unaware of the fact that the reason Nathan was even more upset than normal was because it was the anniversary of the day Haley left. She had left on December fourteenth of 2004. It was now December fourteenth of 2008. He knew one day she would come back, but he also thought it would have been by now.

In NYC…

Haley got home from work at five o'clock. She walked in the penthouse and was greeted by a joyful three year old.

"Mommy, you're home!"
