Sorry I have not updated in a while but with the holidays and my upcoming party I've been really busy. Thanks for all the reviews, keep them coming I love feedback.

A young girl with beautiful blond and a short build walks over to the counter in a small cafe and places a tray on $13 down. She turns around and places her hands into the pocket of her apron and waves to a custom leaving the cafe after living a generous tip. She turns around and walks behind the counter, she begins to pour her self a cup out coffee just before she starts to take a sip she hears the ringing of a bell. That could only mean someone had just come through the doors which normally would be a blessing but today she was tired and hoping for a slow night. She looks up to see a girl about her age with bleached blond, curly hair, tall and about as skinny as a rail. The girl smiles at her and walks over to the counter.

"So slow night?" she says peering over the counter

"No actually I've had a really busy night and what in the world are you looking for?"

"I'm hungry."

"Well you're not going to find anything under her."

"First off that's a lie, that's were you keep the good donuts." She says with a huge smirk on her face.

"Alright but you take all the ones I save for the end of the day." She reaches under the counter and pulls out a big chocolate frosted donut places it down on a plate she had pulled from the dish drainer behind her and pushes it across the counter.

"Thank you very much, Haley James." She says trying to talk and eat at the same time.

"Alright Peyton give it up and tell me what you want. I have known you far too long and I can tell when you want to talk and when you want something from me so just spit it out."

"Ok so you caught me" she says swallowing her last bit of donut and brushing off her mouth with a napkin. "I know I've asked you this about a million times but I want you to come with be this weekend."

"No way!"

"Come on Haley it's not going to be a big deal just me, you, Brooke, Lucas, Karen and little Kyla. It's just going to be a weekend thing. Please"

"I don't know I'm really busy and I can't just pick up and leave without giving my parents any notice."

"So what call them and tell them that you're going and I'm sure they will be ok with it."

Haley picks up the nearest phone dials the number of her parents house she stand there for a while waiting for someone to pick up. After a while someone pick up she mutters something then they begin to argue.

"Haley that's a lot to ask don't you think?"

"Mom it's just one weekend I promise."

"You say that but what if you get caught up in all the action and want to say longer. I don't want to have to be the angry mother who has to tell her 21 year old daughter no."

"Look it's going to be my only chance to see Brooke, Lucas, Karen, and Kyla for a very long time."

"You're going back to Tree Hill he only lives a little ways away and he might just show up. I don't want you going if there is any chance he could be there."

"Mom I promise there is no chance that he will be there Brooke promised."

"You're sure about this?"

"Yes"

"Alright I'll do it but on the off chance you do see him you know you can't lie well so just run in the opposite direction."

"I know thanks."

Haley says goodbye hangs up the phone and turns to Peyton.

"So was that a yes?" she says and raises her eye brow in an inquisitive way

"That was a yes."

"Why did it take so long?"

"She is worried about me running into "Him"."

"Brooke said he wasn't coming."

"I told her that but she's just being cautious."

"Well she is just trying to protect me and..." just as she goes to finish her sentence a young, dark haired boy around the age of three runs behind the counter and hugs her waist. She looks down at the boy rubs his head then looks back up towards Peyton.

"Yeah she is just trying to protect me and my little man here."
