Chapter 3

Rachel's P.O.V. 

        Its been about two weeks since that new kid, Josh, has come to my school and he already has all the hearts of the entire girl poulation in the school. Oh and a few boys two. I just dont see what is so special about him in the first place but thats not my problem. 

        The weird thing is that wherever I go he always seems to be going to the same exact place. Its like he is my personal body guard or shadow and its starting to creep me out.

"Hey, Josh?"

"Hm?"

"Why are you always stalking me?"

"I'm not stalking you." He tried his best to make a heartbroken face but failed completely. "I'm just looking out for a friend." He said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Well could you look out somewhere else cause your kinda starting to creep me out.."

"Aw c'mon, I'm just trying to have a little fun." He replies while placing his arm around my shoulders. I swear once he did that I felt a thousand dagger like glares all pin pointed onto me.

"Yeah, whatever. C'mon we've got to get to class or else we're gonna be late."

"Ok."

A few days later I came to school all depressed. I had tried to hide it as much as I could, and I almost made it the whole day, if it wasn't for my little shadow.

"Rachel, are you ok? You kind of look sick.." He says.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." I say as I faintly smile.

"Are you sure, cause you're not acting like you're usual self.."

"I said, I'm Fine." I said a little too harshly than I intended to. As i said this Josh had shot me a hurtful look. "Shit, Josh I'm sorry. I didn-" I was cut off from Josh randomly hugging me.

"Shh, it's ok." He said while petting my head softly.

"How can you say something like that...you don't even know whats going on.." I reply.

He starts to pull away but i instantly cling on to him and start tearing up.

"..and you said you were fine, care to tell me what's got you down?" He says warmly.

"..w-well today was th-the anneversary of the d-death of my parents..." I start to cry uncontrollably into his shoulder.

"I see...well I know where you are coming from because i have lost someone important to me also." He replies.

"R-really, who?" I ask.

"My little sister." 

"Oh..I'm sorry."

"Don't be. And just remember," He says as he wipes my tears away, "I'm always here if you need me."

After this I manage to smile a bit. Surprisingly, I i felt better after that. I had always thought that it was better to face things on my own but once i actually let out my problems it felt like a weight was lifted off of my chest.

"Thank you." I say as I hug him again.

"No problem." He replies with a smile. "Mind if I walk you home?"

"No, not at all." I say as we start to walk.

???'s P.O.V 

        I had just finished moving in to my new house in Connecticut. This place was pretty calm compared to my busy life in Miami. I wonder what kind of people live here. I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. As I walked out of the building I stopped in my tracks.

       "Rachel.." I breathed out. I would know that long brown hair anywhere. How long has it been, 4, 5 years? She still looks as beautiful as ever, but that guy next to her..could that be her boyfriend? He looks like he could be because of the way they are acting.

        I saw that were walking towrads my building and I realized, She can't know I'm here..atleast now yet. So I decide to flip on my hood and sit casually on the stairs and wait for her to pass by.

        I hope that we will be as close as we used to be.
