6. Over You

'Haley?' Brooke walked in, carrying some shopping bags. The place seemed scarily empty. She smiled, maybe Haley was out with Nathan.

She dumped her shopping bags in her room. She wandered into Haley's room. The closet was open. Brooke looked inside. She gasped. All of Haley's clothes were gone.

Brooke started to panic. She whipped out her cell.

'Hello?'

'Haley's gone!' she gasped.

'I'll be right over.'

Brooke saw a note flutter off the breakfast bar in the breeze. She walked forward and picked it up. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she choked when she read what was written.


'Brooke?' Nathan called, walking in. 'Brooke, what's wrong?'

Nathan found Brooke sitting on the kitchen floor, gasping for air and crying hysterically. She held a note up in the air.

Nathan rush to Brooke's side, kneeling down beside her. 'What's that? It's not a suicide note is it?' the words stung Nathan's heart.

Fortunately, Brooke shook her head. She handed Nathan the letter and he read it quickly.

'Brooke Davis, Peyton Sawyer, Karen and Keith Scott, Jake Jageilski, Chase Adams, Deb and Dan Scott, and possibly Nathan Scott.

This letter is to you all. Brooke will find it, so I ask her to pass it around. First of all, I want to apologise for running away like this, but I feel it is for the best. Three months ago, tragedy struck, and Tree Hill is not the same. But it can be better. I have figured out that without Lucas, Tree Hill cannot be my home anymore. So I am going to make a new life for myself. I don't know where, and I probably will not tell you. I will try and keep in some touch, I don't want to lose you guys. But you have to understand that I need to do this.

I love you all so much. Haley. X'

Nathan drew it a deep breath. 'She's actually gone.'

'Yep.' Brooke breathed.

Nathan stood up and walked out the door, letter in hand. 'I'll take it around Brooke.'

'Thanks Nate.' Brooke nodded. 'And Nathan?' Brooke paused as Nathan turned round. 'She does love you. I know she does.'

Nathan nodded silently. 'Love isn't enough.'


Haley walked slowly through the airport, wondering where she could go. Her clothes had all been shoved in two suitcases; thankfully she never had a lot of belongings. She had had a big weight lifted off her chest. Everything between her and Nathan had been said and done, so she could move on.

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

She started to feel a little weak from carrying the heavy cases, but if she hurried up and chose where to go then she could check them in and get rid of them.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.

She walked over to a friendly looking worker behind a desk.

'Excuse me? I've got a broken heart, caused by two men, and I need to start over. Where should I go?'

The employee looked a little confused, but then started typing things into her computer. 'Well, there is New York, or L.A, Chicago maybe? You will want to get to a big city with lots going on to distract you.'

'L.A please.' She responded. This could be her fresh start. Her life in tree hill was over.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.

Haley sat on the plane and took her last look at tree hill. 'No regrets'. She could mend her broken heart.

I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.

Haley thought about how Nathan had left her before the wedding. Now he would get to feel what she felt.

And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

She sighed picked up a magazine to read, blissfully unaware of the pain she was putting everyone in Tree Hill through.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

I got over you.
