"HALEY JAMES, HALEY JAMES!" Haley looked down at her phone and realized it was on.
"Hello!"
"Haley, what the hell were you doing? Anyway doesn't matter. Come home, please. I really miss you."
"Brooke I can't but don't worry the tour is over in another month and ½. Then I will be home."
"Haley I haven't seen you for 2 months now, I miss you. Lucas, Peyton, Jake, Karen, Keith, Mouth, Fergie, Junk, Skills, Nathan, Gigi they all miss you too"
"I'm not too sure about Nathan but I know you all miss me. I miss you all too. Listen I have some news just don't tell anyone. Me and Chris are dating!"
"WHAT! But Haley I thought you were in love with Nathan, what happened?"
"Brooke he doesn't love me! Anyway I better get going." Haley didn't wait for Brooke to say bye, she just hung up her phone. So dating Chris was a lie but she knew Brooke would tell Lucas and Lucas would tell Nathan. She just didn't want to seem like she was obsessed with Nathan.
"Ms. James, you are on in 10." Haley looked at the guy and smiled. She actually hated being on tour. She thought music was something she loved but she seriously was having a hard time. She just wanted to go back to Tree Hill, where all her friends were.
"She's dating the Chris guy! Why? I thought he was a jerk?" Nathan couldn't believe Haley was dating this guy.
"Nathan this is your entire fault! If you would have just admitted that you love her, then she would have come home. Now she will never come home because she's dating a musician. Thanks Nathan." Brooke wiped her tears and sat down on Nathan's couch. Lucas didn't know what to say, neither did Peyton or Jake but they all knew Nathan was going to get mad.
"I'M SO SORRY THAT I DON'T FEEL ABOUT HER THAT WAY BROOKE. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND YOU DON'T THINK THAT I WANT HER HOME TOO, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING FOR HER TO COME HOME BROOKE. BUT I COULD NOT LIE TO HER." Nathan felt tears in his eyes and he ran into his room, slamming the door shut.
"Ass." Brooke whispered under her breath. "He so loves her, can't you all tell."
"Brooke, I'm sorry to say this but I don't think he does, otherwise he would tell her right?" Brooke looked over at Peyton and glared.
"He's just confused but I guess it doesn't matter now, she's gone forever." Brooke started to sob and Lucas sat down next to her putting his arms around her. "I want her back Lucas."
"Me too, Brooke but it's not like she died. She will come home, eventually." Brooke nodded, wanting to believe him but she couldn't.
Nathan was sitting in his bedroom, looking at a picture of him and Haley. It hurt him that she wasn't there and that she was dating some other guy. Of course he loved her, he always had but he didn't want to. Haley was his best friend, he wasn't supposed to fall in love with her. Now she was gone and had some new guy and there was nothing he could do about it. Nathan never realized how miserable he was without Haley, till she was gone. Nathan stood up and walked back into the living room, everyone was still there talking about Haley memories. Nathan sat down on the couch beside Lucas, Brooke glared at him.
"Oh remember that time Brooke, when the three of us drove back from an away game and you were on pain killers. Ha you named Haley, Brooke." Brooke started laughing remembering, well she actually didn't remember but Peyton had told her the next day.
"I remember this one time, me and her skipped class and drank and my dad's beach house. Well he found us there and when he was taking us home, she puked all over his shoes." Everyone started to laugh, except Brooke.
"Peyton, you remember the time when she came to us crying because Nathan had just told her he was dating Rachel and then she told us she was leaving to go on tour." Peyton gave Brooke a 'what the hell are you doing' look. "Well do you or not?"
Peyton nodded and Brooke looked at Lucas. "Do you remember when she came to you and told her she was leaving and you didn't even try and stop her?"
"Brooke-"
"NO! All of you can go to hell because you all were help in the reason she left." Brooke stood up and walked out the door and jumped in her car. She sped off, dialing Haley's cell.
"Hello!"
"Haley, it's me!"
"Brooke! What's wrong, you're crying, aren't you?"
"Haley I miss you and I want to come and see you. Where are you? I swear it's just me!"
"I'm in Richmond, Virginia. Brooke-"
"K see you in a few hours!" Brooke hung up her phone and frowned when she passed the 'Now Leaving Tree Hill' Sign.
"So you really aren't dating Chris, you just said that so you wouldn't seem obsessed with Nathan." Haley nodded and Brooke laughed. "God I missed you Tutorgirl."
"I missed you too Tigger. Now are you going to tell me, why you left?" Brooke looked down at her hands and shrugged. "Brooke!"
"Fine, I told Nathan it was his fault that you were gone, then we were talking about memories with you, then I just went off about how I was the only one who tried to stop you." Haley laughed at her friend. "WHAT!"
"You're a good friend Brooke." Brooke smiled and hugged Haley but groaned when Haley's cell started to ring.
"If they are looking for me, I'm not here." Haley nodded and picked up her phone.
"Haley James, how may I service you?"
"HALEY, have you seen Brooke?"
"But I'm not here right now, so leave a message!" Brooke held her mouth so she wouldn't laugh, Haley doing the same.
"What the, anyway Haley it's Lucas. Brooke's missing, so call me when you get this and by the way Hales, we miss you." There was a click and Haley hung up her phone, tears in her eyes.
"He said he missed me, that's the first time I've talked to Lucas since I've been gone. Actually you're the only one who kept in touch." Brooke smiled and hugged her friend.
"Well of course, you're my best buddy!" Haley smiled. "I'm tired, where can I sleep?"
"You can share the bed with me." Brooke nodded and laid down, falling asleep instantly. Haley walked outside and dialed a number with her phone.
"Haley, hey."
"Nathan, how are you? I actually called to see if school was going okay for you?"
"It's hard without my tutor but I'm doing okay. Listen Haley, there's something I want to say!"
"Nathan, it is okay that you didn't call after getting my letter. It's in the past. Anyways how's Rachel?"
"She's fine, we aren't together anymore but that's not what I wanted to say. Haley I want to tell you that I-" Haley hung up the phone, she didn't want to hear him say what she thought he was going to say. Her phone started to ring again, Haley sighed with relief when she saw it wasn't Nathan.
"Hello?"
"Haley, hey, it's me, Lucas. Did you get my message?"
"Yeah I was just about to phone. Listen I have her but I'm not telling you where we are."
"Haley, she has school to go to."
"Bye!" Haley hung up the phone and walked back into the room, Brooke was still sleeping. Haley climbed in bed and fell asleep beside her.
