"Hey" I smiled as I walked into the cafe and saw Drew waving his arms at me as if I were blind. I laughed and took my seat across from him. Drew? Yeah, he was that one boy from that one time in lunch. Haha, you remember. I bumped into him some time after I started going back to school after that whole Adrian thing. My books fell, he picked them up, and then he freaked because he still believed that whole thing about me being afraid of guys. Did I tell him the truth? No.. I'm sure it would've scared him away, and then he would've just thought of me as that one girl who was nuts. Which I probably was anyways. But no, I couldn't tell him, maybe I would though some time in the future. I just told him that I was getting better with that whole talking to guys thing. And he decided he'd like to help me. It was all sweet really.

"Hey.." he said, looking up at me with a wondering gaze.

"What?" I asked, feeling myself blush. He was so cute with his brown slightly gelled up hair. And his green eyes, oh they killed me. I think I had a thing for green eyes, I always found myself surrounded by people with them. Well, the people who would talk to me anyways. I was still not very popular at school, but oh well I couldn't ask for a miracle. Drew was more than enough for me.

Well, Drew and Toni. It took about a whole week of me going to school deppressed and being a loner with the exception of Drew, but one day she just sat with me at lunch. And there apologies were made, hugs were given, and tears were shed. It's safe to say that even though we had gone through some rough stuff, our bond was stronger now. I told her all about how Adrian had hurt me and well, we went to the grocery store.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." Drew simply stated, still gazing up at me. Oh gosh, of course this made me blush like crazy. It got to the point were I had to turn away. "No," he said, turning my face back to his by the chin. "don't look away. You're my angel." he finished, and I swear to you I totally died. I', not sure if I was ready to trust a guy again and if I was normal I would've probably have been too tramautized by Adrian to do so. But, I don't know, I just felt safe with Drew.

By the way, it was usually Toni, Drew, and I, who would all hang out together. But for some reason Toni canceled last minute, now I could see why.

"You don't have to answer me with anything if you don't want." he smiled, holding my face in his hands and still gazing into my eyes. God I loved his, they were like looking into the universe, a green, breath takingly beautiful universe. Filled with treausures in every corner, adventures, and joy. I don't even know, I just loved them. And then he just closed his eyes and kissed my forehead. Me, I had to close mine too. And I smiled, like an idiot. He was so cute.

Maybe I could give Drew a chance, I did love him as a friend and he was pretty beautiful, inside and out. I could move on now. It's not like I even had to worry about there being a soul taking monster on the loose. A couple weeks after he left me with his little threat in the park I saw him on the news. He was the talk of the whole school, nobody could believe it. Luke had been run over by a truck, he had crossed the street when he wasn't supposed to, drunk appearantly. And when they found his body his eyes were completely normal, skin too. So I'm thinking Adrian died in there. And although I felt bad for the fact that there was absolutely no hope for Luke anymore, if there ever was any, knowing that Adrian wasn't out there anymore kind of put me to rest.

For now I'd just see where I'd end up with Drew, maybe somewhere nice. Maybe somewhere happy. Somewhere like where I was now.
