Chapter Two

Carson's P.O.V.-

After running for what seems like forever I find myself in the park. The only place I ever feel safe. I follow a path through the woods to get to a lake. Not many people know about this place. In the two years I have been coming here I have yet to find another person here.

I run over to the old tree and move the leaves out of the way and grab my guitar out of the tree.

I know what you are thinking 'What the fuck is that doing there?'. Well I love playing the guitar but no one knows and no one will ever know.

I start playing the chords to Lego House by Ed Sheeran. I love this song because it describes what I feel like is going on in my life. I begin to sing...

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,

And build a Lego house

If things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings,

There's one thing on my mind

It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers

And colour you in

If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before

Now I'll surrender up my heart

And swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down

I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

I finish the song and I'm in tears.

"Whoa..." someone says I frantically look around for them. I see him over by the path. He begins to walk closer and I see it's one of the boys from the coffee shop not curly but the one that seemed to be more mature than the others.

"You are really good! That was Lego house by Ed Sheeran right?" he continues. I nod unable to say anything in shock of the fact that someone heard me.

Regaining my senses I reply to him "what are you doing here? Are the other losers you were with?" I ask.

"Hey! They aren't losers they are my best mates!" He defends them.

"By choice? Why?" I ask dumbfounded.

"Yes by choice and because they are actually really nice lads when you get to know them, but no they are not here with me they stayed at the café when I ran after you. Also it wouldn't hurt for you to be nice to someone who just followed you to the other side of town to make sure you were okay" he states, little does he know that yes it actually could hurt to be nice to some people.

"Well I'm sorry I said your friends were losers. One question though... Why did you follow me?" I ask completely confused.

"To see if you were okay. Like I just said earlier?"

"Well I am. So you can leave now..... Bye"

"I'm sorry but no you aren't. I saw your face pale and your body flinch when ha-- I mean my friend called you a sl-"

"Don't finish that word! Please!" I beg him.

"Okay, but at least tell me what's wrong." He says gently yet still forcibly.

Ha that's cool he wants me to tell him all my problems yet I don't even know his name. That's not going to work bud.

"Why should I? I don't know your name and you are still hiding behind that disguise." I reason.

He then thinks for a moment. It's almost as if he's having a war with himself in his head. He's one interesting person. Hey, looks like the mind war is over. I watch him as he begins to take off the aviators and his hat.

"My name is Liam. What about you?"

"Well hello Liam. I'm Carson. Thank you for taking off that ridiculous disguise and telling me your name, but don't think your magically going to get me to spill all my problems and secrets to you...even my twin doesn't know" I say the last part more to myself than him.
