I felt like posting 2 chapters at once so I'm going to.

Chapter 4: Nathan and Haley

"Nathan can you please watch James today while go interview for a job?" Haley asked as she walked into the family room where her husband was sitting there watching T.V.

"No," he said without even looking up.

"Why not?" Haley asked, she was getting tired of arguing with him everytime she needed him to do something.

"Because I'm busy," He said with disgust and annoyance.

"Busy my ass," she said raising her voice,

"Come on Hales, can't you take him with you?"

"No, I can't. Can't you get off your lazy ass and watch our son?"

"No because I don't feel like it," Nathan said as he stood up finally raising his voice.

"Ever since you didn't make any team and your team lost you've been an ass!"

"Don't bring that up again!"

"Why not?! You need to realize that there is life after come on let me in. Let me help you." Haley begged lowering her voice.

"No, you don't understand."

"I don't understand! I don't understand! Nathan I gave up me dream for you. If anyone understands it's me!"

"No you don't, you never will. You had your dream."

"Nathan shut up! I gave up my dream to be with you my other dream! I thought always and forevr meant something. I thought you loved me," she said sounding defeated.

"I do love you." He said finally realizing what was happening.

"No, no you don't. If you did then playing basketball wouldn't matter to you. Now get out!"

Nathan walked to the door and looked one last time back at Haley. Once he closed the door, he sat down and cried. He cried because he was an ass and an idiot. He cried because how not having a realtionship with Haley would hurt James. He cried because he couldn't think of one way to win back Haley. He cried because he didn't know what he wanted in his life. He cried for anyone and anything.

Haley watched as Nathan closed the door. She wished he would have fought harder. She finally understood how Brooke felt in high school when she wanted Lucas to fight for her. She wished Nathan would have gotten his dream even if she could never get hers. She wished that he would come back through that door and say he was an ass and that he was sorry. She wished that her son never would have to go through this pain. She wished that she had Brooke and Lucas and Peyton around for comfort. She wished she could grant wishes.

Chapter 5: Peyton

Peyton stepped of the plane and started to walk to baggage claim. As she got there she saw blood coming from her heel. Gosh, how she hated breaking in new shoes. She took them off and grabbed her bags and got a cab. Gosh, it had been so long since she had been home. She had a lot to straighten out like if her and Lucas were still even dating. Their realationship became strained when she stayed in LA for college and to continue her internship. He made her believe that it could still work though. They hadn't talked in 3 months. She needed to know what was going on. She knew from Karen that he was in Chicago. She would talk to him when he got home for know all she wanted to do was go some place that had home written all over it, the river court.

"You can drop me off here," she told the cab driver and paid her fee. Someone else was here, maybe whoever it was she knew them and could catch up.

"Hey, oh my gosh! Jake!" she screamed running over to hug him when she realized who it was. "How have you been?"

"Truely, pretty bad. I caught Jenny in bed with a 18 year old two months ago," Jake said with a sigh.

"Wow, wow. Why did she do that?" Peyton asked. Jenny had always been a good little kid, she wondered where she had went wrong.

"I have no clue. She just kept rebelling, so I brought her home."

"Wow, do you mind if I talk to her?"

"Not one bit maybe you can knock some sense into her." Jake said finally with some hope in his voice.

"Where is she?"

"Down there," he said pointing to where she was.

"Hey Jenny," Peyton said as she walked towards the teen.

"Peyton!" Jenny said happily.

"Yes it's me. Now will you explain to me why you're sleeping with 18 year olds," Peyton said as Jenny sighed.

"I don't know. I was just tired of being Dady's Little Girl and the good girl. I wanted to be something new."

"Jenny, that's no reason to go and sleep with random guys. You should have talked to your dad about this."

"See, that's just it! He doesn't get it. He doesn't get the fact that I miss Nikki," she said starting to cry.

"What happened to Nikki, did she leave you guys again?" Peyton asked feeling bad for the girl in front of her.

"I guess you could say that, she was on her way home from her job when she was hit by another car. Her and the other driver died instantly." Jenny cried into Peyton's arm wishing that her mother was here right now.

"Hey, any time you need someone to talk to you can come to me," Peyton said giving Jenny a small smile.

"No, no I can't you haven't seen me in years. You left and when I could have used someone to talk to you weren't there you were gone." And with that Jenny got up and walked away leaving Peyton sitting there taking in her words.

Peyton knew what Jenny said was true. She had left. She hadn't been there for Jenny and Jake when Nikki had died. She had missed so much. She wasn't going back to LA. She was staying here, people needed her and she needed them. She had been away long enough it was time to make the journey home. Home meaning renewing friendships with people from her past. She needed her friends.
