Brent P.O.V.

I knew it the second I set eyes on her.

Rosie Hawthorn.

She was the one.

She had set me back on track.

She showed me the path I had to take.

My next move.

My next hand.

My life now revovled around her.

Every move she made, I would follow her.

She was perfect...

Perfect for my plan.

Liza P.O.V.

One step. Another step. Keep on going. Almost there...

How could he-

Don't think about it, I reminded myself angrily. Just focus on getting to class. Nothing else matters for the moment. Keep cool, keep calm. Don't let anyone see what you're going through.

Even if it's ripping out your chest.

I collapsed into my regular chair in my math class, earning myself an angry look from Mrs. Clarke. I ignored it, long used to her never-ending glares, and proceeded to look out of the window. A sharp wind was ripping through the trees, and I wondered how it could have sprung up so quickly. It had been so calm this morning. Leaves were torn from their branches and dragged away with the wind, struggling uselessly.

The weather was so violent sometimes... just like emotions. I thought sadly, bringing myself back to reality. But I took a deep breath and steadied myself a moment later.

I needed to come up with a game plan.

I didn't know what Brent was doing. Or what Rosie was up to. But something told me that something about this wasn't quite right. It didn't make sense. How could Brent have fallen for Rosie so quickly? Did she have a trick up her sleeve? Was she blackmailing him? Manipulating him? There had to be something that I could fight against.

I refused to believe that Brent really had feelings for Rosie.

But this Rosie was so much like Lidia. They were like twins from other sides of the universe. They were both attention seekers. They both needed to be in control. And they both had a 'bad' streak in them.

Maybe this was what Brent liked?

The kind of girl he could fall for?

Someone I wasn't.

I blinked back a few tears. I couldn't be like this. I had to stay strong. I didn't matter that Brent might like... someone else. Hadn't I promised myself that I would stay away? That I would have nothing to do with him anymore? And now he was doing it for me.

So what was my problem?

Maybe it was that if I had done what Brent had done, I wouldn't feel so helpless. I guess it was that I wasn't in control anymore. He had played the card that I hadn't expected, and I had been caught off guard.
