Chapter 2

When Haley walked in, Lucas was on his bed looking at his ceiling. His doubts were confirmed when he saw her eyes all redden and swollen by tears.

"What the hell happened back there?" Asked Lucas jumping from the bed and pulling Haley into a hug.

Haley felt so good in Lucas' embrace. She felt so safe and started to sob again. "Not much" She said shrugging.

"What to you mean by « not much »?" Asked Lucas helping her to sit down and sitting beside her on his bed." You're totally shaken up Hales, it's can't be for nothing!"

"I just decided to give up." She said quietly. "It's always his dreams before mine... It's always him before me. I don't even have the choice. I choose him or…. I lose him. He thinks he made a mistake marrying me and he's sure that if I get pregnant any day soon it will be just to trap him." She added sadly.

"Well…you are pregnant." Said Lucas confused.

"As far as Nathan is concerned no…I'm not." Said Haley shaking her head. "He will never find out about my pregnancy."

"How's that? I know Nathan is not the smartest guy in Tree Hill but I'm sure he'll see it eventually!" Said Lucas with a smile trying to cheer Haley up.

She smiled back. "I know that doofus! But how can he find out when I'm leaving town for good today." She asked rubbing Lucas' arm. "I just came to tell you goodbye Luke." She kissed his cheek "I'm going to miss you so much."

"No you're not leaving!" Said Lucas with assurance. "You won't leave us Haley. Not again!!" He added standing up.

"You don't understand!" Said Haley with a pleading voice. "I'm just done. I'm fed up fighting to keep this couple working. I'm fed up that each time Dan opens his evil mouth Nathan is falling in his trap again! We've been married for more than a year and he still doubts. I can't fight this anymore I don't want to fight anymore!!" Haley stood up, took Lucas' hand and put it on her heart. "You remember not so long ago you wanted to leave Tree Hill to start a new life." Lucas nodded. "Well…that's exactly what I want to do. I want a new start for me and my baby." She added with confidence looking into Lucas eyes.

"You got me their Hales." Said Lucas sitting again "but…but I wasn't leaving alone I was going with Keith!" Added Lucas short on arguments.

Haley smiled and walked to him. "Well…. maybe I can ask Keith to come with me but I don't think your mum will like that!! They got married two months ago!" Added Haley lying on Lucas' bed.

Lucas sighed. "And where do you intend to go?" He asked laying by her side.

"I don't know yet." She said very calmly. "I'll find somewhere."

"Of course you will!!" Said Lucas sarcastically. "And what about high school huh? Come on Hales!! You're smarter than that! You can't just leave like that!" He added angry now.

"Watch me!" Said Haley shouting. "I can transfer to any high school I want! I'm 18 now!! I... I don't get you Luke. I thought you would support me but you don't! You don't get me!! Well… That's too bad..." she added sadly. "I guess this is our goodbye."

"I'm just worried about you." Said Lucas shaking his head and taking her into his arms. "I don't know why but a small part of me knows that if I let you walk by that door now I…I won't see you again." Added Lucas with a tear falling down his cheek.

"I'll see you again Luke…One day…" Said Haley drying his tear. "I'll be fine don't worry about me."

Lucas looked at Haley for a little while than smiled. "I know you'll be fine Hales because…because I'm going with you." Said Lucas as if he just had a revelation.

"I…. no you're not!" Said Haley shaking her head vigorously. "You can't do that!! You've got nothing to run away from!! Don't ruin your life because of me!!"

"I'm not!" Said Lucas sure of himself. "I'm fed up with all the Peyton Brooke drama. Brooke is just acting insane! She broke up with me because Peyton told her she was in love with me… How was that my fault huh?" Asked Lucas not really expecting an answer. "I want to start over too and I don't see why I should stay in Tree Hill if you're not with me." He added sincerely.

Haley sighed; she didn't know what to think anymore.

"Come on Hales. We can do it together. It's going to be easier to do it! Believe me and I'm sure you're going to be so happy to have me around when the baby is born." Added Lucas with a smile.

"I guess…" said Haley pouting. "But I don't want you to sacrifice everything Luke. I know you love me but I don't want you to destroy your life for me!"

"I'm not destroying my life! I perfectly know what I'm doing!! What I want to do here I can do it anywhere and…and home is where you are Haley. You're my best friend, you're my sister." He added looking deep into her eyes, showing her how sure he was that he was making the right choice.

Haley jumped into his arms. "Let's do it!" She shouted. "I just hope you won't regret it." She added still worried.

Lucas threw some clothes in a bag; took all his pictures albums and left a little letter for his mother and Keith saying:

Mum and Keith,

You know how much I love you but I decided to leave Tree Hill for good.

Haley is going away with me. We just reached 18 and we decided it was time for us to reinvent ourselves.

Don't look for us. I'll contact you soon.

I love you guys.

Lucas.

Lucas jumped into his old pick up and looked at Haley.

"Are you sure you want to do this Hales?" He asked with a smile. "There's no turning back now."

"I'm sure Luke. Let's start a new life!" Said Haley smiling back to him and gently slapping his arm. "Come on best friend! Let's hit the road!!"

Lucas started the engine and drove. All the fears and doubts he had just slipped away once they passed the banner saying: You're now leaving Tree Hill North Carolina, Home of the Ravens. We hope you enjoyed your stay.

I sure did! Thought Lucas and Haley sarcastically.

2 months Later:

Nathan was pacing in his flat like he had been doing for the past two months.

He could recall the night Haley left him like it was yesterday. He was at city hall where all the video cameras were facing him. He was about to open his mouth when he realized that he made a terrible mistake. He shouldn't have acted like a jerk and that if Haley really wanted to go to Stanford than he would go with her. He apologized saying that he received many offers but that he needed to discuss them with his wife before accepting any of them.

When he arrived to his flat Nathan saw the piece of paper on the table with the bracelet on it and knew what to expect. Haley had left him.

He ran to Lucas' place but Lucas was nowhere to be found. Nathan found out that Lucas left town with Haley only 3 days later when Karen came back from her little trip with Keith.

Nathan was angry with Haley and Lucas. Lucas for choosing Haley's side and leaving him alone, and Haley for giving up on them, but mostly Nathan was upset with himself for listening to his dad once more and screwing up the best thing he ever had…His marriage to Haley.

Someone knocked on the door and Nathan ran to open it. Every time that someone knocked he was hoping that it was Haley coming back to him.

"Hello son". Said Dan smiling and walking in uninvited. He looked around. "Wow this place is a mess!" Said Dan with a disgusted look on his face. "And so do you!" He added looking Nathan up and down. "Come on!! It's time to get over it!"

"It's time to get over it?" Said Nathan angry in total disbelief. "Haley left me and I don't think I'll ever get over it!! She is the love of my life dad!!" Added Nathan shouting. "What do you know about love huh? It's all your fault!" Said Nathan even angrier.

"It's my fault?" Asked Dan calmly. "Ohhhh Son you're giving me way too much credit!! But let me tell you I'm honored!!" Added Dan with an evil smiled. "I did try to break you up for the last year but I didn't succeed. You did it all by yourself!! You've got to be so proud!!" Added Dan looking at all the pizza boxes on the coffee table.

"I…" Started Nathan but the phone started to ring. Nathan ran to the kitchen.

"Hello, Nathan Scott." He said with a little voice inside screaming it was Haley.

"Could I speak to Mrs. Haley James-Scott?" Asked a woman.

"I'm sorry she is not here right now but…I'm her husband can I take a message?" Asked Nathan curious

"Ohhh Right!! I'm sorry I didn't recognize your voice from last time you came!" Said the woman confusing Nathan and Lucas. "Well… I wanted to know why did your wife miss her pregnancy follow up with the Doctor Meyers this morning? Maybe you just forgot about it?"

Nathan was frozen. Haley was pregnant? Haley is pregnant? He couldn't stop thinking.

"Mr. Scott? Are you still there?" Asked the secretary.

"Huh? Yeah. Sorry... " Said Nathan trying to sound normal. "My wife is on a Holiday right now. I guess we just forgot to cancel I'm sorry." Said Nathan hanging up.

Nathan turned to his dad and sat down on the chair beside him. "She's pregnant." He said simply looking down.

"Well... you got rid of her just in time!!" Said Dan walking back to the door. "I guess your brother is going to be a proud dad very soon." Dan opened the door and turned to Nathan. "You're lucky do you know that?!! You just got rid of a huge problem without even being the bad guy!!"

Nathan threw a glass at Dan and missed him less than an inch. "Get the hell away from me Dan!! Never come close to me ever again!! You destroyed my life!" Shouted Nathan with fury. "From now on you're dead to me!!" Added Nathan fighting his tears. He didn't want to cry in front of his dad and look weak.

"As you want son...But I'm sure you'll come around" said Dan closing the door.

Nathan waited a couple of minutes and fell on the floor crying. "Please Haley come back to me!" He shouted out of pain." Please bring me back my baby!! I love you Haley...Just come back..." He added sobbing even more.
