Moving In With Problems

~Toby's pov~

I saw the girl Sam was talking about. I looked at her, she was pretty good with a soccer ball if that kid had to go get it. She was pretty, but not my type. I sighed when I saw the boy kiss her, she had another boyfriend already, poor Sam. But I looked again and saw that she was disgusted, and ran off. Then the boy walked over to me, I placed the stuff on the porch steps and walked to him, as well.

"Hey, what's your name?" He questioned me.

"I'm Toby, what's yours?" I asked him.

"Daniel, or Dani. Which ever one you want to call me." Daniel replied. I nodded, looking at the girl disappearing. I focused my attention on Daniel, who was eying me, as if I was a nerd.

"Play any sports?" I asked him.

"Yeah, soccer, you're on my team. Coach Rock said that before, it was suspossed to be try outs but we just did practice." Daniel explained. I looked down at my hands, I cause the rest of the team to miss try outs. I sighed. "Dude don't worry, it was as if we were joking in the soccer fields." He calmed me down.

"Oh. Is that girl your girl-" He cut me off.

"No, she was just getting mad because you moved into Sam's old house." Daniel explained.

"Oh, I met Sam. He's at my old school now. He wanted me to give Arianna a message. Where did she go?" I questioned him. He looked up at the sky and sighed.

"I don't know, she always runs away somewhere. I never found her though. She would stay in her hiding spot for hours, God only knows how long she would stay in there." Daniel explained. I looked at him in the eyes, trying to figure out if he was lying or not. He wasn't, his eyes showed honesty.

"Ever try finding her?" I asked him. He looked at me, then shocked his head no. I nodded, thining of what to say next. I thought of something, opened my mouth to say it, but he took the words right out.

"Should we go find her?" I nodded to him, as he started to walk. I shouted to my parents I would be going with Daniel somewhere, ad we were off.

~Ari's pov~

Why can't Sammy be back? Why did I have to break a promise when Dani kissed me? Why can't I ever have a happy life? I crawled out of my hiding spot, under the flowers, and looked into the lake. Sammy did tell me to look at the lake, and if I looked hard enough, I would see us, kissing under water. I looked, and looked, but didn't see anything. I sighed, falling to my knees, at the bay of the lake. I looked down at my own reflection, seeing how much older I looked without my Sammy. I wanted to cry, but I had no more tears left, Sammy took them all with him. I bent down more, and looked again into the water. Sam was right! You could see us kissing. I smiled as the figures disappeared into the rippes of the water. I splashed the water, harder and harder, beggin that the reflection of the both of us to come back. I stopped realizing I was acting stupid. I pulled my legs up to my chest, letting my feet excaspe my flip flops and touch the water. It was nice, but I wasn't ever going back in there. I pulled my feet back as I got up, carring my flip flops, and walked back to my hidding place under the pussy willows.

"Sammy, someone moved into your house! Come back, come back now, please?!" My heart cried. I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I hugged myself, rocked back and forth, trying to make the pain go away. It wouldn't leave, as if it would only go if Sam came back. I sighed, making sure I wasn't visible to the outside world. I walked further and further into the flowers, wondering if there was ever an end to them. Soon, I was in a field of them. I stared at the flowers in aw, and sat down, playing with some of them.

"Ari!" I heard a faint voice. I sat straight up, looking out towards the lake.

"Arianna!" I heard an unfamilar voice. I shuttered at the name.
