I don’t write fic, I suck at it. But I was listening to Bethany Joy, and this wouldn’t leave me alone until it was written. This is just one of those pairings that I can’t stop loving.
Set after S02E20, Lifetime Piling Up.

She’s a star now, a real one: her own stage, screaming fans, a handsome leading man. It’s all she’s ever wanted, this dream she’s left him for.
She’s on the front page again. Stunning, smiling, happy. Tree Hill’s favourite daughter, the small town girl with a big future.
Part of him wishes he’d never cared at all.
He picks up the scissors, and carefully cuts everything away until she’s all that’s left.
He’s so proud of her. The feeling lingers in his mouth and departs, leaving it dry as dust.
