:PROLOGUE:
I never realized how painful it was to let go of something, to let go of someone. I've always held on tightly, and hoped for the best.
Haley, are you there? Please pick up.
I hoped, and hoped, that maybe I have a shot at a happy ending. I hoped, until there was no more hope left, until I was done hoping.
I have something to tell you.
Tree Hill is my home. And it will always be. I used to believe that I belong to Tree Hill. And I still believe that. But I have come to accept that Tree Hill does not belong to only me.
I think you are the only person I could tell this to.
Now, I'm finally ready to let go of a habit, and to chase dream. 'Cause Tree Hill will always be in my life. But the rest of my life won't always be in Tree Hill.
I have fallen for her, Hales. I'm in love with Brooke.
So, goodbye Tree Hill. Goodbye my dear friend.
