Chapter 1: Say What You Wanna..

7 Years Ago…

Haley was waiting in the park at 12:30 at night. She left a little note to Peyton, Brooke, Nathan, Lucas and Jake to meet her in the park at 12:00. She wasn't shocked that any of them didn't show up.

"Hey," a voice said, bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Brooke?" Haley asked, "You came?"

Brooke shrugged, "You and I didn't do anything to each other. Why shouldn't I?"

Haley nodded, when Brooke asked, "Why did you ask us to come, anyway?"

"We're graduating tomorrow. I figured maybe we can say goodbye appropriately," she answered.

"Brooke…" Haley started.

"I'm pregnant."

Present

Ever since that moment, Brooke and Haley became best friends. Brooke was there for Haley throughout her whole pregnancy, the labor, and was now "Auntie Brooke" to little Nicole Scott. And now, she was going to be there for Haley when she met her boyfriend's best friend.

"Hales, come on! I need to look hot, this guy can be totally dateable or maybe doable and I need to look my best!" Brooke rambled.

"God, Brooke, don't worry about you looking hot, worry about me being impressive."

"Why do you need to look impressive?" Brooke questioned, confused.

"'Cause that's his best friend, Brooke," Haley said as it was the most obvious thing.

"Where's Nicole going to be tonight?" Brooke asked after being quiet for a while.

"She's with Taylor. Tay's going to bring her to a basketball game," Haley said sadly.

"She's similar to her father," Brooke said.

Haley laughed sadly, "Personality and looks wise."

It was true. Even though Nicole resembled Haley, she was a lot like her father. With Haley's curly brown hair and love for music, the rest was her father. She had amazing blue eyes, a love for basketball, and as much as Haley tried to stop it, an ego bigger than even adults had.

"Do you ever miss him?" Brooke asked.

"Honestly," Haley said, "Every time I look at Nicole."

"Do you ever regret…loosing touch with all of them? Or think about what they're doing?" Brooke asked shyly.

"Sometimes…I mean, honestly, I miss Lucas a lot…he was my best friend. But, I couldn't control myself when Peyton was just standing there screaming at me about how I'm such a bad friend," Haley said.

"I wonder if Peyton and Luke stood together," Brooke said.

Haley shrugged, "Who knows…anyway, it's 11:30, you wanna get going?"

Brooke shrugged, "Okay…Wait, Do I look good?"

9 Years Ago

16 year old Peyton, Brooke and Haley all walked into Haley's room, worn out from their long high-school day.

"I'm so tired," Haley whined dropping to the floor.

"Why do we have so much homework?" Brooke followed suit.

"Nathan Scott is so hot," Peyton said repeating her friends' actions.

Brooke and Haley looked towards each other and rolled their eyes at their friend's behavior over Nathan.

"P. Sawyer-you need a boyfriend," Brooke told her best friend.

"I need Nathan," Peyton groaned, "I gotta pee—I'll be back."

Brooke and Haley watched Peyton leave the room, when Brooke turned to Haley with a sad look on her face.

"Nathan asked again today?" Brooke whispered.

Haley nodded, watching the outside of the door, making sure Peyton couldn't hear them.

"He keeps on telling me these really cheesy lines, which are totally making my heart melt," she shook her head, "And I keep turning him down 'cause of Peyt."

"Does he find any interest in her?" Brooke asked.

Haley sadly shook her head, "A friend."

Haley and Brooke stopped when Peyton walked back into the room.

Present

Haley and Brooke sat in the car talking occasionally, Brooke trying to calm down Haley down about meeting Chris's best friend, and Haley trying to convince Brooke that she looked fine.

"Oh shit!" Brooke screamed as they were waiting at a red light.

"What?" Haley screamed.

"Hales-look!" Brooke yelled, "Isn't that Jake?"

Haley looked to a figure walking across the street, with a little girl who looked to be around 7 years old.

"It looks like him," Haley admitted, "But why would Jake Jagielski be in New York?"

Brooke and Haley moved to New York after college graduation. They moved into an apartment building, together. That was, until Brooke started realizing more and more that Nicole needed her own room, and found herself a new apartment. Lucky enough, it was only 2 floors down from Haley.

"Maybe he moved up here?" Brooke said.

In North Carolina…

"Mom! I'm leaving!" Lucas Scott yelled.

"Oh, my boy, I can't believe it," Karen said coming out to hug her son.

"Well start believing," Lucas boasted, "I'm going to miss you."

"I'll miss you too. You're going to be an amazing sports' agent. Watch out, New York!" Karen joked.

Lucas nodded, when his eyes fell upon a picture of him and Haley when they were 17. Karen noticed her son's facial expression change and followed his eyes to the picture. She picked the picture up and smiled sadly at him.

"You've never heard from her, huh?" Karen said, mentioning his best friend for the first time in 7 years.

"I found a letter from her when I was cleaning out my locker, to meet her the morning before graduation, 12:00, in the park. I was too mad to go, so I just didn't," Lucas admitted, "One of the biggest regrets in my life."

Karen nodded, "Who knows, maybe she's living in New York?" she said with a wink.

Back in New York…

"I am on my damn way, man!" Nathan Scott yelled in his phone as he walked down the street.

After the "Fiasco of Frigging Tree Hill," as Nathan called the absurd love triangles of his senior year of High-School, he moved to New York to attend NYU with a full-basketball scholarship. After an injury in his final year of college, Nathan was unable to play. He became a physical therapist for athletes and is coaching a few basketball teams throughout New York. After Haley, he'd never gotten into another relationship. Even though his and Haley's "fling" as his brother calls it, wasn't a relationship, he knew he was in love with Haley. The only one out of their little clique that he kept in touch with was Lucas, and they even had to work through it for a while before the two of them were brothers again.

"Maybe..." Haley said.

"Oh my God!" Brooke yelled as a car sped up, and the 'Jake' character stumbled backwards to miss getting hit by a car.

"Did you just—" Haley started, but lost her ability to speak when she saw a figure passing this 'Jake' character. The figure was obviously deep in thought but turned around to look at 'Jake' again.

"Okay, my eyes are just playing games with me now!" Haley screamed loudly, as the light turned green

In Florida…

Peyton Sawyer was ready to move, again. After high school, Peyton moved around way too much for her own comfort. She started traveling with her dad for a year, yet finishing college at the same time. Now, Peyton was offered a surprising offer for a magazine in New York, and was leaving her home of 2 years, Tampa, Florida to move to New York.

Flashback-7 Years Ago

Peyton angrily opened her locker, slamming it and ignoring the surprised looks of the onlookers in the hallway.

A loose piece of paper fell out of her locker, with a handwriting she swore was familiar,

Graduation's tomorrow. Do you seriously want to end a friendship this way? Meet me in the park at 12 midnight, tonight.

-Haley

"Screw that," Peyton said throwing the piece of paper into the garbage, walking into Nathan on the way there, and for the first time, not getting butterflies in her stomach.

End Flashback

Nathan, deep in thought was crossing the street when he saw a car go through a red light and a guy and his daughter step back to miss being hit by the car.

"Asshole." Nathan muttered crossing the street, passing the guy. He turned around again when he swore he recognized the face of the guy crossing the street. "Wha-?" Nathan said to himself, and shook his head when he heard a woman scream in a car. When he turned his head to look at the woman, who's head was on the steering wheel, his breath caught in his throat. "Haley.." he said to himself, then kept on walking. That wasn't the first time he's thought he'd seen Haley in New York.

Flashback-7 Years Ago

Nathan sadly opened his locker the day before graduation grabbing some of his books, and looking at a picture of himself and Haley over that previous summer, smiling and laughing and just having a good time. He shook his head and slammed his locker, not even noticing a note with his name on it dropping to the floor.

End Flashback

After 10 minutes of traffic, and 5 minutes of Brooke and Haley trying to figure out if those two were, in deed, strangers from their past, they'd finally arrived at the restaurant Chris told them to meet at.

"From the back, his best friend looks tasty," Brooke giggled as the two were crossing the street, noticing Chris standing up to slap hands with his best friend.

Haley couldn't control the giggle that escaped her mouth as they neared the table of her boyfriend who smiled at her.

"Okay- good, we're all here!" Chris yelled as his "famous" best friend turned around to meet this girlfriend, when realization hit that no one was meeting anyone, at least for the first time.

All four faces were different. One was a smile on his face, excited to see his best friend meet his girlfriend, and three faces had mouths in the perfect shaped of an "O".

"This is my girlfriend, Haley…and her best friend, Brooke," Chris said, and when he saw the looks on the faces of the three other people, and confusion struck him. Realization hit him when he thought back of that picture his girlfriend showed him one day prior.

Brooke was the only one who even made a noise, "L—?"
