So, here's another story I shouldn't be starting because I have another story I'm on hiatus with. Ha-ha. Oh well. This idea popped in my head, and I decided to go with it. Let me know if you like it. If you do, I'll continue. If I don't get any reviews, I'll probably delete it.

So, read and then, review if you like it!

Summary: Takes place during/after season five finale, but Lucas doesn't call anyone to go to Vegas with him. What happens when Peyton gets in a car accident that puts her in a coma, and Haley finds six journals of hers that Lucas reads? Will there be consequences?

Oh yeah, I don't own One Tree Hill, or anything.

MAJOR THANKS TO: Heather. Thanks so much, seriously!!

This takes place at the end of the Season Finale where Lucas and Haley are sitting on the Rivercourt, and goes from there.

Lucas flipped the switch to turn the big overhead lights on, and noticed something. Someone had painted the River Court. There was a comet in the middle and what appeared to be lyrics around it. Lucas noticed an "I'll always love you", and knew right away who had painted this. He sat down in the middle of the comet, which was in the middle of the River Court, and thought about everything that had happened. Peyton coming back, Lucas and Peyton's kiss, and then his proposal to Lindsey. Lindsey leaving, Lindsey dating other people, and then Lucas' suspension from the basketball team. He shook his head and sighed. He thought back to Haley's comment from earlier in the day. I would laugh if this wasn't so screwed up. Lucas thought, Yeah, I would too.

Haley showed up, as if she knew Lucas were thinking about her, and said, "Very… Peyton."

Luke looked up at her and nodded. "Yeah."

She sat down next to him and said, "What are you doing here Luke?"

He sighed, then finally responded. "I think I'm going to take off for awhile, you know, clear my head." He shook his head and said, "It's too hard being here right now, Hales."

She nodded and rubbed his back. "I know, Luke."

He nodded his head and got up. "I'm going to go Haley. I'll call you before I leave, alright?"

She nodded, and gave him a sad smile before he turned and left.

A few hours later…

Lucas was sitting in the Tree Hill Airport, waiting for his flight to board. A couple of hours was all it took for Lucas to feel like shit. Lindsey came over telling him his book was done, and that this was goodbye. He hated her saying goodbye. In his mind, he could still win her back. Obviously, he was wrong. Luke shook his head and picked up his phone. It rang a few times, and then Haley picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey, Hales. I'm at the airport. I'm heading out in a little bit."

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Don't know. I mean, I do, but I'm not telling you. If I tell you, you'll tell Peyton, and God knows what will happen then."

Haley shook her head and sighed. "Lucas…" she trailed off in a knowing voice.

"I'm not telling you Hales. All you need to know is I'm heading out and you won't come after me, right?"

She nodded, after a few minutes of thinking. "Fine. I won't come after you, but I will tell Peyton you're leaving."

"Okay, fair enough. I've got to go Hales. I'll be back in a month or so."

"Okay, Luke, have… fun? I don't know, Lucas. Try and find what you are needing to find, okay? Call me every once and awhile, please?" she pleaded.

"Okay, bye Hales. I'll call, don't worry."

"Bye Lucas," she said and hung up.

Meanwhile…

"Okay, Mia, calm down. Yes, I do understand how earth shattering it is to see a hot guy walk away from you." Peyton rolled her eyes. "Mia, he's just a guy. You yourself said you didn't-" Peyton was cut off by Mia shrieking in her ear. "Okay, Mia. Just calm down. If it's that important, go talk to him?" Peyton laughed at Mia's shock. "Okay, fine. I got to go, good luck Mia! Bye," Peyton sing songed, and then hung up.

Peyton chuckled to herself. Then, all of a sudden, Haley came bursting through the doors. "Peyton!" she yelled.

Peyton looked at the girl like she was crazy. "What?"

"Lucas is lgone." Haley said, out of breath.

Peyton shook her head. "Okay, Haley. Go drink some more of that crazy juice you had before you came over here."

Haley shook her head, throwing her bag down in frustration. "No, Peyton, I'm serious!"

Peyton looked at her again. "What do you mean he's... gone?"

"I don't know, all I know is he told me he needed to get out of here for awhile. He won't tell me where he's going, and he said he's going to be gone for a month." Haley shrugged, then said, "I'm sorry Peyton."

Peyton shook her head. "It doesn't matter now Haley. He didn't tell you because he didn't want me knowing." Haley tried to tell her otherwise, but Peyton knew Lucas too well. "I need to let go… because its hurting too much to hold on," she said sadly.

Haley walked over and hugged her friend. She felt awful for how stupid her friends were being, but there was nothing she could do. The rest of their lives were in fate's hands now.

Okay, I realize this is short, but I didn't want to put anything else, really. So, the next chapter will be longer, and I hope you like it!
