BROOKE AND PEYTON'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
After knocking a few times on the door, Lucas realised that the door was already open, slowly pushing it ajar to see who was inside he noticed Brooke sat on the sofa curled up hugging one of Peyton's jumpers, quietly opening the door trying not to disturb Brooke he makes his way into the apartment, walking closer to Brooke he notices she is asleep, pulling the blanket down from the sofa to put over her, she opens her puffy red eyes and looks intently at Lucas.
"She's gone." Brooke whispers. Lucas sits on the sofa next to Brooke and wraps his arm around her, trying to soothe her as the tears come falling down her face once again.
"I know." He says.
"I just want her back Lucas" Brooke stutters through sobs.
"I know." He repeats.
"I never told her I love her" Brooke makes this statement at the realisation that she had never told Peyton how she truly felt and now it was too late. Lucas looks at Brooke and holds her close, Brooke's realisation had broken her heart all over once again.
"Sssh it's going to be ok, you're going to be ok" Lucas whispers as he holds Brooke, rocking her to try and soothe her tears.
AIRPORT – MORNING
As Peyton patiently waited in the departure lounge at the airport, she stood looking out the window, trying to remember all the good times she had in Tree Hill, but all that consumed her mind was the image of Brooke and Nathan, how Brooke had lied. Peyton tried to compose herself yet a few stray tears fell down her face. The sudden familiar voice from behind brought Peyton out of her thoughts, as she wiped the tears from her face she turned round to see her friend Haley.
"Peyton" Haley shouted from the crowd.
"Haley what are you doing here?" Peyton asked as she turned to face her friend.
"Stopping you from leaving without saying goodbye" Haley said while looking at her friend and noticing her tear stained cheeks.
"I can't, I have to go" Peyton responded picking her bag up and placing it on her shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Asked Haley frantically.
"LA, I took that apprenticeship" Peyton's words surprising Haley.
"Have you talked to Brooke?" Peyton's heart melted at the mention of her name, she didn't have the strength to talk about it anymore.
"Look Haley I'm sorry, but I have to go" Was all that Peyton could respond with.
"It happened a long time ago, before you two were together...But she loves you Peyton" Peyton stared deep into the ground. Was she making a mistake? Questions running through her head.
"And I think that's what hurts the most" Peyton stated before looking up to meet her friends stare, they were both on the verge of crying and Peyton knew it was time to go.
"Peyton, please, don't go" Haley begged one last time.
"I'm going to miss you Haley, but I need you to take care of everyone for me ok" Peyton asked while holding onto Haley's hand.
"I love you Peyton" Haley said as she pulled Peyton into her arms giving her friend one last hug, once Peyton had turned to walk away, she stopped in her tracks and took one last look at her friend.
"Oh and Haley, your going to be a great mum" Said Peyton as she fought back the tears and turned towards the departure gate.
4 YEARS LATER
In 4 years a lot had changed, Nathan and Haley had a little boy named James Lucas Scott, they had chose to reside in Tree Hill after Nathan was injured and couldn't play basketball anymore. Haley had become a teacher at Tree Hill High School, where Lucas was the coach of the 'Ravens', he was also an accomplished author now. However the road hadn't been smooth for the others, Brooke moved to New York where her clothes line made it big, she became very rich and successful, however for Brooke her life always felt empty without Peyton, as hard as she tried to fill it with work it reached a point where she needed to move back home and start a fresh. As for Peyton her apprenticeship at Sire records hadn't taken her anywhere, she was assistant to the assistant, but for Peyton it wasn't her work that brought her down it was not having Brooke around that made life unbearable. All the friends had managed to stay in contact in the last four years, however Brooke and Peyton hadn't seen or spoken to each other since that night four years ago.
NATHAN AND HALEY'S HOUSE - AFTERNOON
As Nathan and Haley sit in the living room of their house, they sit cuddling, talking and laughing about the events of today. Nathan and Haley were still very much in love, just as they were when they were teenagers, they had been through a lot, but they always came out the other side better people and their love grew each day, everyone looked up to the love they shared and hoped to be just as happy as they are.
"Well that little man went straight down" Lucas said as he walked in the room collapsing into the arm chair and admiring the sight of his brother and best friend in front of him.
"Thanks Luke for watching him today" Replied Haley as she smiled at her best friend.
"Does anyone want a drink?" Asked Haley getting up off the sofa and walking over to the kitchen.
"No thanks Hales. So guy's, I saw someone last night" Responded Luke as he sat leaning forward looking at the floor.
"Who?" Asked Nathan, as the interest grew in the room.
