Haley took in a deep breath, worried about what was going to happen when she walked into the room. She laid her back on the window, not knowing what she was going to say. She didn't have Brooke's back and she felt like it was her fault that she was there. Haley looked to her right, seeing a glimpse into Lucas' room. She could see Peyton sitting by him, trying to pretend that Brooke wasn't awake. She felt like Peyton would be easier to talk to. She bit her lip and walked into the room, Peyton looked up in confusion.

"I'm not going to distract you." Peyton turned away and looked back down at Lucas. Haley crossed her arms, chuckling a little.

"Actually, Brooke's awake and I think that you need the distraction." Haley said to her, it was true. Peyton was nervous about Brooke waking up, she didn't want to know the truth when she knew what it was. Peyton blinked, not answering Haley. Haley took in a deep breath, it was still night. It seemed like it had been a long night for her.

"Is Iris happy that she's awake?" Peyton looked up, changing the subject with a smile. Haley took a seat across from the room, going with Peyton's dinail.

"She's gone." Haley raised her shoulders, Peyton paused. She didn't understood what she was saying to her, Iris was just here. She had saw her leave the hospital a few moments ago.

"What are you talking about?" Peyton let go of Lucas' hand, focusing her attention Haley. Haley didn't know what to say of this.

"She's not here, neither is Mouth." Haley explained to her. Peyton didn't understand why they haven't called her, she would at least answer her phone.

"Have you guys called her?" Peyton asked her.

"She left her phone here, weve tried calling Mouth but he hasn't answered any of our calls." Haley didn't know what to think of the situation. Peyton shook her head, grabbing Lucas' hand again.

"We can never have a happy ending." Peyton said, talking about everyone. Haley and Nathan have rekindled their relationship but their was something that wasn't finished and it was going to take some time. They were okay with that, it was making them stronger as a couple. Haley leaned back in her chair.

"You have to let him go, Peyton." Haley finally said to her. Peyton didn't make eye contact, trying not to listen to her. "This isn't high school anymore, we're adults. You have to move on." Haley swallowed. "You guys have loved each other since high school but...it's not the same anymore. Is it?" Haley asked her. Peyton looked up, smiling at Haley with tears in her eyes.

"He's changed." Peyton said honestly. Haley could agree but she was going to leave Peyton to decide. Haley stood up, finally ready to face Brooke. She was scared, nervous of it all. Peyton kissed Lucas' hand, crying softly. Haley walked out of the room, not saying another word. She stood in front of Brooke's room door, taking in a deep breath. She opened it, Brooke rose up from her bed quickly, a worried and scared look on her face but suddenly it all went away. She had thought it was Iris. Haley took a step in and shut the door behind her. Haley could imagine what Brooke was thinking of her right now. Chris tapped Brooke on the leg, leaving them alone.

"Have you found Iris?" Brooke finally said to her, Haley cleared her throat.

"No, were trying. Nathan went out there to look for them." Haley said honestly. Brooke looked away, worried out of her mind. She didn't need this right, she had just woken up and her chest was tight. She had to find Iris, she had too. With a things that have been going on, she felt like she needed to talk to her best friend. "We'll find her, I promise." Haley quickly said, Brooke didn't say another word. "Brooke." Haley said to her, trying to get her attention. She walked over to her bed, sitting down in the same seat Chris was sitting in. Brooke finally looked at Haley, wondering what she had to say for herself. "I'm-" Haley was going to apologize.

"I don't know what to say to you." Brooke told her, she shook her head. She would have to have some time to forgive her, this wasn't a fairy tale, this was real life. It was going to take some time because right now, she couldn't trust Haley.

"Alright, then I'll just talk." Haley told her. "I really thought that Peyton was the right one for Lucas. I really did. All the time that they have been together, in the past but then, I thought about the way he is around you..." Haley explained, she had finally grabbed Brooke's attention. "Like...like, he was so in love with you, like...like, you were his everything." Haley bit her lip. "It was a look to where I couldn't explain to you. It was different, it's not the way that he looked at Peyton or Lindsay. It was the way he looked at you and I know I was wrong to fight with you and make your life worse." Haley raised her eyebrows. "This all started with a boy falling in love with girl under a comet,"

"Seriously, Haley?" Brooke frowned.

"No, Brooke. You." Haley told her, making sure that she didn't think she was talking about Peyton. "Lucas has been writing again," Haley told her. "Not just writing but kind of like journal...it's basically about him falling in love with a young girl named Brooke Davis." Haley smiled. Haley grabbed her a packet of paper, taking it out. She opened it to a chapter. "I know that I've been a bitch but I hope that you can forgive me." Haley asked her, Brooke stared down at her.

"I don't know Haley, it has to take me time. Okay?" Brooke said to her, not knowing if she could forgive her anytime soon. "I was there for you when you needed me, and when I needed you, you turned around and left me." Brooke shrugged her shoulders. Haley understood, she would wait for Brooke. Haley tapped the packet.

"Lucas was going to give this to you on your birthday, he had me keep a hold of it." Haley turned the pages, trying to find the page that she was looking for. "I remember the first moment that I realized that I was in love with you, it was at our prom. When we promised each other that we will never leave each other. After all of these years, we kept that promise. You kept me happy, changed me in ways that could never understand. You are the most beautiful thing that came into my life, your love kept me alive. The worst things have happened and I didn't die. I know I hurt you before but I will always be there for you. I'll never leave your side. I promise, Everyday, hell or high water, rain or shine." Haley finished reading the chapter. Brooke took in a deep breath, she didn't know why she was reading this to her. "Lucas choose you, Brooke. It was always you." Haley said to her, standing up from the chair.

"Please find Iris for me." Brooke begged her before she walked out of the room. Haley nodded, walking out of the room.

Iris was angry with herself, Mouth just told her that he loved her. Iris didn't know what do, she didn't know what to say. She had to get out of there, she had been driving for a few minutes but her head wasn't clear. She looked into her rear view mirror, Mouth was still behind her in his blue car. Iris slammed her hand on her steering wheel, he had been following her ever since she walked away from him.

"Stop following me." Iris groaned, noticing that she was talking to herself. She took in a deep breath, trying to make herself breathe. She wanted to be happy, she felt like that would be with Mouth but she had to be a good friend for Millicent, even if she wasn't to her. Iris kept reminding herself that Mouth left her because he was being selfish and a coward. "Coward!" Iris yelled at the top of her lungs, looking back at Mouth's car. Iris took a sharp turn, down a narrow road. Mouth gasped, quickly turning to follow her. Mouth reached for his phone that was under the seat but still couldn't get it. His phone had been buzzing for a while, people leaving him messages. Mouth looked down for a second, trying to find his phone. He quickly looked up, pressing on his brakes as hard as he could, almost hitting Iris' car. Mouth placed his car in park, looking around. Iris was no where to be found.

"Jesus." Mouth stepped out of his car, he walked to Iris' car and looked inside. She wasn't in there, he looked up and wasn't familiar with this road. He didn't believe that it was in Tree Hill anymore. Mouth looked to his left, to a field. He could see her in the distance, running as fast as she could. Iris was pacing, trying to catch her breath. She didn't want to confront Mouth, she couldn't handle this. "Iris!" Mouth yelled her name, Iris sharply turned around. He was running after her, waving his hands in the air. She didn't know what she sees in this goofy kid.

"Just leave, like you did before!" Iris yelled back, Mouth stopped running. They stood there, yards from each other. Their heavy breathing, their eyes showing how sorry they were.

"I'm not leaving you again!" Mouth yelled back, becoming anger. Iris rolled her eyes, placing her hands on her hips.

"You know what Mouth!" Iris stomped her feet, marching up to Mouth. Mouth let out a stessfull breath, she was coming to him. "You are a coward." Iris was finally standing in front of him, pointing a finger into his chest.

"I know that and maybe I am-" Mouth shrugged his shoulders.

"Which you are." Iris said to him. Mouth licked his lips, he felt like he was never going to get over her.

"I'm sorry." Mouth tried to apologize.

"Okay." Iris said to him. "Now, leave me alone." Iris said to him.

"No, until you say that you forgive me." Mouth told her.

"You fucking left me." Iris said to him, screaming at the top of lungs. Iris wasn't the one for cursing but this time, she didn't know how else to say it. "You chose her over me, you chose her first Mouth!" Iris voice cracked again, tears running from eyes and the dispensation look on her face. She was completely heart broken, Mouth wouldn't forgive himself either. "You chose her," Iris broke down, crying. She had been crying so much, she was surprised that she had tears left. "I was there alone, like, really alone and you decided to get engaged." Iris rolled her eyes. "People don't do that to the people they love. They don't." Iris explained.

"I-I-I want you. I do." Mouth explained to her.

"Say you want to spend the rest of your life with me, say that you would never feel guilty by being with me. Tell me your not just doing this because you feel bad." Iris cried, knowing what the truth was, Mouth didn't say a word. He was thinking about the decisions that he had made. Iris took in a deep breath. "I'm letting go," Iris said to him, making sure that he understood the words that were coming from her mouth. "Because you don't love me like I love you." Iris shook her head. "You go be happy, actually be happy and go find Millicent and...have kids together." Iris tried not to make herself cry. "This sucks." Iris told herself.

"It doesn't have to be." Mouth said to her, trying to reach for her. Iris took a step back.

"Your in love with someone else." Iris grabbed his hand, not wanting to let go but was forcing herself to do so. Iris nodded, quickly moving past him and walking back to her car. She ran to her car, shutting the door behind her. She slammed her hand against the wheel, again. Beating herself up about having a good man leave her. She buried her face into her hands and cried like she had never cried before. She heard a knock on the door, she quickly looked up and Mouth was staring at her. Iris groaned, wanting him to leave her alone. "Leave me alone!" Iris screamed at him, not wanting to roll the window down.

"I love you Iris! I'm in love with you and I will never stop loving you. One day your going to feel the same way about me and I'll wait for you." Mouth smiled at her, Iris screamed, quickly driving off. Mouth backed away, chuckling a little. He knew that she was going to be hers on day.

Mouth walked into the airport, Millicent had this smile on his face that he couldn't replace that with anything. She was a beautiful girl, she had given him everything that had ever asked for. She was there for him when times were rough but, it never felt like the same. She was different, not the same Millicent he once knew and maybe that's why he fell out of love for her. Millicent wrapped her arms around his shoulders and smiled up at him.

"I love you," Mouth said to her, Millicent smiled. She loved to hear those words come from his mouth. "But I'm not in love with you...anymore." Mouth swallowed, not knowing what words to say to her. He felt his stomach twist up, he was scared at what Millicent would do to him. Millicent removed her hands from and gave herself some space. She was confused as to what she was telling him. "I'm in love Iris and I think I've always been." Mouth finally said to her, still scared.

"What?" Millicent asked him.

"I've been in love with her ever since I meet her." Mouth confessed, remembering the day. He knew that he was going to regret this later in life but he didn't care because he would have Iris in his arms.

"What?!" Millicent raised her voice, slamming her things on the ground. Mouth looked around, nervous at all the people that were staring at the couple. He didn't want Millicent to make a big scene.

"I should go." Mouth nodded, he didn't want to say anything else that would make her angry. He tried to turn around but Millicent grabbed him.

"I don't understand, Mouth." Millicent began to cry. Mouth took in a deep breath.

"I'm not happy anymore and neither are you. Were trying so hard to fix our problems but we both know that it's not going to work out." Mouth said honestly, Millicent shut her mouth and the tears had stopped. It was true, they were losing their love and they hadn't realized it yet. They weren't the same people that they used to be. They had grown out of each other. "You go on the plane and find a man that can make you happy." Mouth said to her. Millicent didn't know what to say.

"Because I have a girl waiting for me." Mouth started to back away, Millicent watched as he left. She was scared that she would have to do this journey alone but she was okay because she didn't have any weight on her shoulders. Millicent looked down at her ring finger, the ring that Mouth had given her. She slowly took it off, staring at it for a moment. She felt okay, a short smile formed on her mouth. She placed the ring on the chair beside, picking up her bags and walked to her plane.

Mouth ran to his car, quickly looking at his phone. He didn't have messages from Millicent yet but he did worry about if she was doing okay on her flight. He saw all the messages from his phone about Brooke waking up. He looked up, seeing only the back headlights of Iris' car.

It all started with a boy falling in love with a girl, fighting for her and losing her in the process. In the beginning, he was wanting her and her not wanting him but now it's all changed. It's all new. Brooke looked inside from the window, watching as the nurse checked on him. A tear dropped from her face, she couldn't bare to see him like this. The thought of losing him, scared her. She didn't know what she would do with herself.

"How long as he been like this?" Brooke whipped her tears away, looking at Chris. She had just woke up, she wanted to see Lucas. The first person that she wanted to see, the second one, was Iris and Millicent. She had missed so much, Chris was telling her everything.

"For a moment," Chris let out a deep breath and shrugged his shoulders. "You were in the same position he was in and now, your here." Chris didn't believe in miracles but now he was seeing one. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face. It was still dark, Brooke turned around to look at Chris. She couldn't bare to think about how much Iris had been through. "You should uh, see Iris. She really needs you right now." Chris smiled a little.

"Is she okay?" Brooke asked her.

"Her best friend was on the vurge of dying, she felt like everyone hated her, the man that she loved ran away with someone else and got engaged. She's not doing so good. It sucks, Brooke." Chris told Brooke honestly, Brooke looked down for a moment. She could only imagine what life would be like without Lucas. "Iris was here everyday, every night. She practically lived in your room. She refused to leave your side." Chris said to her. Brooke took in a deep breath.

"I'm going to go find her." Brooke said, taking a step but she was a little weak.

"Are you sure? Do you need help?" Chris cocked his head, Brooke shook her head. Right now, she had to be there for Iris. Brooke licked her lips and walked down the hallway, slowly looking around. The pain didn't hurt her, she had one person on her mind. She would have thought when she woke up, it was all be the same. It seemed like everything evolved itself. Brooke stopped, looking outside of the hospital doors, across the room. Iris sniffed, finally picking her head up, not seeing Brooke there. She turned around and walked into the hospital, ready to be by her best friends side. She had just left the person she loved and she thought that he was leaving her. She felt like she couldn't breathe. She looked up, her heart sunk to her stomach. Her fingers and legs felt weak and like jello. She felt a current shot through her veins. She felt like the relief would overwhelm her. A cool wave of relief washed over her body. Iris remembered that she stopped herself from breathing, she chuckled.

"Brooke?" Iris said, not thinking that this was real. She didn't know how to feel about it, she didn't believe that this was real. She needed Brooke so much right now, tell her things that she couldn't tell Chris. Iris felt the tears rushing from her face, she was so amazed at who she was seeing. She felt like she was losing her mind without her. Iris quickly ran up to her, embracing her with a hug. Brooke groaned slightly as Iris leaped into her arms. Iris squeezed her tightly, not wanting to let go. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Iris repeated to her, finally saying the words that she has been waiting to say.

"I'm sorry." Brooke apologized.

"I've been through so much, Brooke. I really needed you." Iris cried.

"I know." Brooke held her tighter.

"What took you so long?" Iris laughed, Brooke laughed with her.
