Allie wakes up in Nathan's arms and smiles before snuggling closer into his neck. "So, if Ada comes into my room, I'm pushing you off my bed and out my window okay?" She jokes with him. He laughs and runs his hands up and down her arm.
"Look, I think I should get back to the madness." Nathan says which makes Allie whine and cuddle him even tighter.
"But, hey, if I could, I'd stay like this all day." He says and grabs her chin to make her look at him. She laughs and quickly kisses him before getting up.
Nathan was putting his shoes on but before he could get up to leave, Allie wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him in for a deep kiss again. She pulls away and places one last kiss on his lips, "Bye, Nate." He laughs and gets up, "Bye, baby."

Allie was walking around campus with Lucas when a semi argument between the two occurred. "Brooke's honest, she's not afraid to be herself. And plus, she's not covered head to toe in issues." Lucas says which makes Allie scoff.
"You know, Peyton just had a hard life alright. Cut the girl some slack." Allie says and sits next to him. "You know what, if you're happy, I'm happy." Lucas stares at her and frowns. "Are you...happy?" He asks her and she nods her head excitedly. "Yeah, I am."
-
A couple of hours later, Allie and Peyton were painting signs for the school. "Hey, you okay?" She asks the latter. "Yeah, just... I went over to Lucas's place last night and Brooke was there." Peyton says and Allie sighs.
"Yeah, they've been spending a lot of time together lately." She says and rubs the other girl's shoulder. "It's okay, I'll be fine."
Before the conversation could get any further Brooke walked up to the two girls. She smiles and crouches down next to Peyton.
"Hey, I wanted to talk about Lucas." Allie took that as her sign to go somewhere else and excuses herself. "I'm gonna go grab some water."
Walking around, she sees Nathan, "Nate!" She says and walks over to him. She could see the frown in his face. "What's wrong?" She asks, grabbing his face to look at her. "Whitey cancelled practices." He answered her before grabbing her hand and placing a kiss on it.
"I'm so sorry Nathan." She says and rubs his cheek. "It's okay. Hey, I'll uh, catch you later okay?" He says and kisses her on the lips quickly before leaving. "Okay, bye." She says and walks back to Peyton who had a sour look on her face.

Allie and Brooke walked into Peyton's room when Brooke picked up the camera and took a polaroid of Peyton. She turns around to face her two friends when the flash goes off. "What are you guys doing?" She asks with a smile.
"Documenting." Brooke says and the two girls go to lay beside Peyton on bed, Brooke on her left and Allie on her right.
"A day without cheer. Hour one." Allie says and looks at the sketches Peyton was working on. "Hm, there's something wrong with this picture though." Brooke points out and Allie turns to look at her.
"Oh, I know what it is. We're not in it." She says and the girls softly laugh before Brooke picks up the camera again. The three of them posing for the polaroid. Brooke and Allie look at Peyton before looking back at each other.
"Would you please draw your freaky drawings later?" Brooke asks and the two girls laugh. "There's no basketball. We're young, we're gorgeous... We have all this free time. So, let's go do something fun." Brooke asks.
Peyton looks at the two girls before speaking. "What about Lucas and Nathan? I'm sure they'd be up for some fun. Probably with some polaroids too."
Brooke sighs and looks at Allie who nods her head. "Lucas... the monkey in the room." "Elephant." Peyton and Allie both say as they softly laugh. "Whatever." Brooke says.
"Look, I came to make sure there's no weirdness about that." Brooke says and Peyton looks over at Allie. "Me too, we're all best friends and we shouldn't let anyone come in between our friendship." She says.
Peyton smiles and looks back at Brooke. "Brooke, I'm cool with you and Lucas." "Are you sure?" Brooke asks Peyton who nods. "Yeah. I just... I just want to draw for a little bit."
The three girls smile at each other before Brooke holds out her fist. "Hoes over bros." She says, Peyton and Allie fist bumping her with a smile.

Allie was on her way to work when she ran into Haley on the street. "Hales, what are you doing?" Haley looks at her. "Oh, uh Deb agreed to an open mic night to attract more buzz to the cafe. I'm heading over to Peyton's to help create flyers." Haley says and walks off. "Bye! She yells and Allie waves to her.
Walking into Karen's Cafe, she was greeted by Deb. "Hi Allie, how was school?' She asks while changing the coffee filter. "It was good, how's Dan doing? With the um, whole Nathan incident?" Allie asks awkwardly.
"Well you know Dan, he's trying to handle it but can't." Deb laughs which causes Allie to awkwardly chuckle. She grabs her apron and ties it around her waist before grabbing her notepad to take orders.
A few hours later, the cafe was filled with so many people from Tree Hill. Allie had been trying to get a hold of Nathan, but every time she called he would hang up with a "Not a good time, I'll call you back." Allie groans in frustration and throws her phone in her jacket pocket in the kitchen.
"You okay?" She asks Peyton who was standing far away from Lucas and Brooke. "Yeah." She answers hesitantly. "Allie, your phone is ringing." She hears Deb call her.
She turns towards Peyton, "I'll be right back." Peyton nods her head and Allie goes to grab her phone.
Hoping it's Nathan, she quickly looks for it, only to find that it's her mom calling. She groans and answers, "Hey, mom. How have you been?" Not a word from them since they left and now they want to call and check on her.
"Hi sweetie, just wanted to let you know that your father and I have to go to Switzerland for the next few months." Allie rolls her eyes, "Um okay." "Thanks sweetie, love you! I sent Ada the money around, there should be $5000 in there okay?" "Okay, I love-"
"I gotta go sweetie, bye." And just like that, the phone call ended. Allie sighs and dials Nathan's cell, hoping he would pick up.
"Jerk never called you back, did he?" Allie turns around and sees Nathan. She smiles and wraps her arms around him. "Trust me, you don't want to talk to him anyways." Nathan continues.
She pulls away from him. "What are you doing here?" Nathan sighs, "Look, I'm sorry." Allie shakes her head no and cups his cheek.
"No, it's okay. I just missed you, I'm glad you're back." She places a quick kiss on his lips. "Yeah me too. It's like... every time I'm with him, I just get caught in this riptide. The harder I try to get out, the harder it is for me to keep from drowning." He admits to her. She rubs his cheek and smiles. "Maybe you just need to steer clear of the water for a little while."
"Hey Nate, I thought you weren't coming back until tomorrow. What happened?" Deb asks her son as she walks in.
"We were keeping score mom, what do you think happened?" Nathan replies, rubbing Allie's arm for comfort. Deb scoffs, "Oh honey, I'm sorry, I should have known."
Nathan wraps his arms around her waist and shrugs. "It's okay, I'm used to it." Allie gives Deb a smile before they both walk out to the front to finish watching Jake's performance.
Nathan has his arm wrapped around Allie as they watch Jake finish performing. The last chord plays and everyone in the cafe cheers and applauses him. "I can't believe he has a daughter." Nathan says to Allie.
"Yeah, it's kind of crazy, but he seems like a great father to me." Allie says and grabs Nathan's hand that was wrapped around her.
Allie looks at Jake and sees Peyton talking to him. "Well at least Peyton's getting her mind off Lucas." Allie says to Nathan. "What are you talking about? I thought Lucas and Peyton were like a thing." Nathan says with a confused look.
"Nate, you cannot be serious right now." Allie gestures to Brooke and Lucas who is currently sitting on the couch practically cuddling.
"What? When did that happen?" Nathan asks, looking at them. "Oh my god Nate." Allie pokes his side and walks away.
Allie goes up to Peyton and smiles. "So, you and Jake huh?" Allie asks her while cooing at Jenny. "Um I don't know, I just figured it's better than moping about Brooke and Lucas all day." Peyton says and laughs. "Well I'm happy for you." Allie says and hugs the blonde girl.
Allie walks back to Nathan and grabs his hand, placing a kiss on his lips. Lucas walks up to them and clears his throat. They pull away from each other and look at Lucas.
He whistles then looks at Nathan, "Listen man, some of the boys and I are gonna go run down at the river court. Wanted to know if you and the team wanted to come."
Nathan looks at him confused, "Why?" "Because it's fun. Don't you remember?" Lucas replies and Nathan nods his head in agreement. Lucas leaves and Allie stares up at Nathan who is already smiling at her.
She pushes her hip against his and makes him laugh. "Glad you guys are somewhat talking." She says and hugs him while he embraces her as well.
"Alright ladies and gentleman, give it up for Gavin DeGraw." Haley's voice can be heard from the stage. Everyone applauses and welcomes them to the stage. Allie looks around the cafe and realizes that all the people important to her are right here in this cafe.
She has her best friends and her boyfriend, what more could she ask for? She looks around to the couch and sees Brooke with Lucas, then her eyes shift to Peyton who has Jenny in her arms talking to Jake, and finally, she looks up at her boyfriend, Nathan Scott.
A guy who single handedly ruined Lucas's life at the start of high school, a guy who she had to tutor because if she didn't he would've lost his dream of playing basketball. "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" Nathan says, snapping her out of her thoughts.
She smiles and shakes her head. "Nothing, just feeling happy tonight." She says to him and he laughs, placing a kiss on her forehead and they go back to enjoying the performance.
After the performance, people started leaving. "I'll see you at river court yeah?" Lucas asks Allie who nods her head. "Yeah, let me just help clean up real quick and we'll be on our way."
Lucas nodded his head and walked out with Brooke. Allie and Nathan quickly helped Deb and Keith clean up the cafe before heading out to her car.
"Let me drive, you've been up on your feet this whole day." Nathan offers to Allie. She smiles and pulls her keys from her bag and hands it to him. "Don't crash my baby please." Allie says and he scoffs.
"I thought I was your baby?" He says and gets in the driver's seat. "You're number two, she will always be my number one." Allie says and kisses the dashboard of her car.
Nathan laughs and pushes her head before starting the engine and driving to river court. When they arrived, Nathan immediately grabbed Allie's hand and made their way over to where everyone was.
Nathan kisses her cheek and lets go of her hand to get ready to play. He takes his jacket off and places it around Allie.
"Good luck, not that you need it." She says and puts her arms through the sleeves of his jacket. He smiles and kisses her cheek before walking to the court.
Allie made her way to Brooke, Peyton, and Haley who were all sitting on Peyton's bumper. As she walks up, she notices Jenny sitting with them. She cooes and walks closer to Jenny to pinch her cheeks.
Suddenly Peyton gets off the car and grabs the basketball that rolled over to us. Looking up, she sees Jake standing there.
She shyly passes the ball to him and Brooke takes a picture. The girls laugh and joke about Peyton and Jake.
"Give me this." Haley says and gets in front of the three girls to take a picture of them. Allie smiles brightly while hugging Peyton and Brooke for the picture.
The girls all laugh and watch the game. Allie tugs her boyfriend's jacket closer to her body to keep the chilly air out.
Nathan makes a basket and Allie cheers for him, "Go Nate!" She yells and gets his attention. He winks at her and blows her a kiss before going back to the game.
"Always a cheerleader at heart." Brooke says making the girl stick out her tongue. The girls laugh and start cheering when Jake makes a basket, even Jenny screams. Peyton cooes and picks the little girl up out of her car seat and lets her watch her father play basketball.
Yeah, this is definitely one of the better nights in Tree Hill according to Allie Bazor, she wouldn't trade it for anything.
