When I get to the grill I order some food then sit down outside. The food is brought out to me, then Summer arrives. I call her over before I start eating. When she gets to my table she steals one of my fries before I can swat her hand away. I roll my eyes and continue eating.

"Okay, so I wanted to meet here so we could be in public. Do you really trust, what's his name, Austin?" She asks.

"I figured that's what this was about. I trust him enough. He seems genuine, Summer. He extended his friendship to me and I accepted, so I'll be with him more often, and, if it makes you feel better, I can watch him," I say.

"You seriously.. Y'know what, never mind. Yes, it would make me feel better if you can tell me what he does," She says.

"You realize that he is not his brother, right?" I ask.

"Yes, Eliza, I realize that, but seriously, his brother is horrible enough, so I need someone to make sure he isn't," She says.

"Okay, well today he took me to an old hideout that basically only he knows where it's at, well him and I now," I say.

"You hung out with him today?" She asks.

"Yes. He showed up at the door this morning and asked if he could take me somewhere," I say.

"You said he took you to a hideout of his, right? Did you see anything?" She asks.

"No, Summer, he just took me to the place he goes when he wants to get away from everything. You have a spot like that too," I say.

"Okay, so he seems normal so far.. Keep me updated though," She replies.

"Whatever you say," I reply.

I finish my food and throw the trash away. I walk back and look at Summer.

"Are we done here?" I ask.

"I guess," She answers.

I walk to the woods then I take off running back to where the waterfall was. When I arrive I see Austin sitting on the top of the cliff with his feet hanging off, so I walk up there.

"I didn't really expect you to still be here," I say, standing behind him.

"I didn't expect you to come back," He replies, after turning to look at me.

I smile then look off in the distance, before returning his gaze.

"Well, I came back hoping you would still be here. I didn't want our time together today to end with me running off," I explain.

He smiles and slowly stands up.

"Since you didn't want our time to end, what would you like to do?" He asks.

"Well, do you wanna come to my house and watch some movies or something? There isn't much to do in this little town," I say.

"What kind of movies?" He asks.

"Horror movies, they're my favorite," I explain.

"Okay, well then let's get going," He says.

We walk back to my house, talking about our different life experiences. When we get there I unlock the door and walk in, then notice Lee sitting on the couch.

"Afternoon, sleepyhead," I say with a smile.

"Afternoon," Lee responds.

He notices Austin behind me and raises his eyebrow.

"Who's this?" Lee asks.

"Oh, this is Austin." I answer.

"Okay, well, I guess I'm gonna head out," Lee says before getting up.
