Hey guys. I'm back for good now. I finally got my new provider earlier than I thought!!

-------------------------------------Los Angeles-----------------------------------------

"Screw you!" Said Peyton angrily, punching the desk. "You told me that I would get the job!"

"Listen Peyton I'm not the one deciding on this." Said the little man sat in front of her. "I…I couldn't go against the boss." He added apparently uncomfortable.

"You couldn't…?" Said Peyton nodding. "Well that's good to know because I thought you where the chief here! I mean you even succeeded to give a job to your completely incompetent mistress so don't play this game! I not dumb."

"I –…"

"I wrote your fucking music articles for about 5 months now because Bill is a complete alcoholic!" Said Peyton angrier than before. "You told me to write the articles under his name and that you'd give me the rubric when he will leave!"

"Well…I choose someone more competent than you Peyton. The journal is the priority. Not you!!" Said the man trying to sound sure.

Peyton had a sarcastic laugh, bent over the desk and looked at the chief with a threatening glance. "You gave the job to your old secretary!! Did you do her too?! You fucked me on this one! I can't stand your Hollywood backstabbing manners anymore!" She sighed. "You know what? I give up! You can write these articles yourself! This journal can burn down for what I care!"

" Peyton don't do that!" Said the chief suddenly panicked. "What are you going to do huh? That's not a good idea."

"I prefer to be unemployed than exploited by a brat like you! I resign now! I won't be back!"

Everybody in the office could hear the argument. Peyton took her bag on her desk and the picture of the gang back in Tree Hill. She was ready to leave the building when Gloria ran to her.

" Peyton wait!" Gloria shouted.

" Hey Gloria. I'm sorry not to be able to say goodbye the way I wanted to but…but well…" Peyton sighed. "Things didn't turn out exactly how I expected." She chuckled "Nothing ever did."

"Aww, I'm so sorry to loose a friend like you" Said Gloria sadly. "But what are you going to do? Do you need anything?"

Peyton was staring at something behind Gloria. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts. "I'm going back." She said simply.

" You're going back where?" Asked Gloria confused.

Peyton nodded as if she was answering to a question directly in her head. "I'm ready now. I've got to go back. I never had so much good things in my life and the only good things I had were in Tree Hill…Maybe they're still there."

"Oh…"

"Yes, I'll give you a call once I'm settled. Take care of yourself okay?" Peyton said gently.

"I will…" Said Gloria with tears in her eyes. " I'm going to miss you so much! Please stay strong. You deserve greatness. Don't settle for less."

"I won't" Said Peyton with a big smile.

Peyton called a cab, she didn't feel like walking to her crappy little flat in her terrible neighbourhood all by herself today.

"I'm going home. Home sweet home." She said to herself hoping that it was not the biggest mistake of her life.

------------------------------------Tree Hill----------------------------------------

"I don't know what happened but he changed. I can't tell you what got into him but he seems to be my husband again. The one I loved so much." Said Haley.

She was with Brooke in Lucas' kitchen while Lucas was playing with James outside.

"And it's a good think no?" Said Brooke frowning. "You are saying that as if it was a bad thing!"

"No, it's not a bad thing but…but I don't know what to do about that." Said Haley sadly.

"Why?" Asked Brooke confused. "Why don't you try to be happy about it? I mean maybe he had some kind of revelation."

Haley sighed. "I'm just scared Brooke. I love him and god knows I'd give my soul to have him back but I don't want to be disappointed again. I just can't!" She had tears in her eyes. Brooke put her hand on Haley's arm. "We suffered enough, Jamie…Jamie suffered enough. He was so happy to see his real dad today." Haley turned to look at Lucas and James playing basketball outside. "Lucas has been great with him in the past two years but he can't replace his dad."

"I see what you mean Hales." Said Brooke nicely. "I can't say I understand because I've never been through what you experienced. Sometimes I try to imagine how I would have reacted if I had the same problems than you did. I don't think I would be here right now. Come on hales, you're the strongest person I know. You're tutor mum!" Added Brooke with a big smile.

This last sentence made Haley smile. Brooke always trusted her. She nodded.

"You're a real warrior Haley. You never acted like a victim and everybody admire you for that. Take your time with Nate. I'm sure you've got enough inner strength to try again. I know deep down that it won't blow again. You've been through enough. I'm sure you're going to be happy." Brooke could see Haley incertitude. "And what if it blows again? You can rise again. You're way too strong to stay down."

"Maybe you're right Brooke…Maybe you are but I'm not strong when Nathan is concerned. I feel weak in fact. I can't stay mad at him. It's like I need him to breath and I'm scared of that. I'm too dependant."

"I understand" Said Brooke looking at Lucas. "I felt something like that a long time ago." Brooke added with some nostalgia in the voice. "But you two are meant to be. There is no way in hell that you don't finish together! Universe can only reunite you!"

"The Universe?!" Asked Haley laughing. "Since when you're all mystical?"

"Since I saw you and Nate together." Said Brooke seriously. "I saw that pure love and complete trust can exist. I'm sure there is something above."

"Well… this force needs to help us soon then because…because I'm not sure there is much more to save anymore."
