So Noah initiated the breakup and Allie and her family left the town to somewhere near Allie's school the next day. Noah was not able to forget Allie, so he wrote her letters everyday, 365 letters in a year... and the letters never get to her as the usual plot goes, the mum confiscated them. World War 2 steps in and Noah went for the war in Europe. He came back, known his dad sold the house, and gave him the money to purchase the house he really wanted... the house where Noah planned to stay with Allie. While planning to build the house, Noah saw Allie once again in town and was hurt and disappointed that Allie was engaged with a rich & handsome man. He went mad and worked non-stop to rebuild the house...
