Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to update, I will try to write a lot more frequently. And may I say, W.O.W! Thank you so much for the 539 READS! It means so much to me that you guys are reading my story! I hope you like this chapter and the many more to come. Now I will stop rambling on and let you get to the chapter, but thank you again! I do not own the following song- Still into You. This song was created by Paramore.I love Paramore, they are my favorite band! Hayley Williams has such an amazing voice and I hope you like the song as much as I do! Enjoy the chapter.(:

I stroll to the only car in the driveway; Tobey is extremely paranoid about being discovered so he buys a new car every time we move, so now we have a new big black truck that’s about two times taller than me. I pull at my soft sweater debating how to climb up to the seat. I reach up and unlock the car door and yank it open, I take five large strides backwards, and with a deep breath I sprint to the car and leap.

I make it halfway up before my face connects with the steering wheel emitting a loud BEEP of the horn I crumple to the ground groaning. Slowly I look up at the truck and smack the back of my head like Gibbs does to Dinozzo, because as I look up I notice… there was a step just below the door. Great.

I climb the step to the truck and spend another ten minutes adjusting the seat so that I can actually touch the pedals. I slowly pull out of the driveway and follow the signs into town. I’m not saying that I’m okay with my parents sending me away, but at least they shipped me away to a beautiful little town.

 It was filled with what looked like family run stores, restaurants, clothing, knickknacks and other shops. Teens my age were running around laughing, I don’t know what was in the water here, but the people were almost so beautiful that it was unearthly. It truly made me feel plain.

At least my eyes will be unique, some kids made fun of the unnatural blue with a purple ring around them and said I wore contacts, but a few kids told me that they were really cool. Maybe the kids here won’t notice… I think hopefully.

I start to feel a little creeperish just driving around staring at people in silence, so I plug in my iPod and put on my anticreeper playlist, and yes, that really is the name of the playlist. Paramore’s song ‘Still into You’ plays and I start to sing along while reading store names

“Can’t count the years on one hand that we’ve been-together.

I need the other one to hold you-make you feel-make you feel,

Better-“

Hmm… Crystal Dawns Collections, that’s a clothing store I think… I’ll check that out later.

“It's not a walk in the park to love each other

 But when our fingers interlock, Can’t deny, can't deny you're worth it

 'Cause after all this time, I'm still into you… “

CLARKS HARDWARE, nope, why buy tools when there will be plenty of ‘em at school? Hehe… I made a pun….bwahahahahaha! Ahem. I mean uh… hey look! Carols Bakery! Wait, why do almost all the store names begin with a ‘c’? Oh well.  Back to Paramore.

“I should be over all the butterflies but I'm into you (I'm into you)

 And baby even on our worst nights I'm into you (I'm into you)

             Let 'em wonder how we got this far 'Cause I don't really need to wonder at                                                                                          all Yeah after all this time I'm still into you”

I pull into a parking space in front of what I think is an office supply store. I grab my bag and walk into the store. I grab some home phones and a HP 2311x desktop and through them into my cart. I stroll over to the laptops section, you know the more I think about it I think this store has everything office supplies, and technology.

 I grab a fancy looking laptop, and finally throw a Motorola Droid into my cart. So this way even if the kids here are jerks, at least I have cool new technology to keep me occupied while they're at parties, in stead of watching 'Red' 24 times by myself... I quickly get my stuff checked out by and old man who was humming show tunes to himself. As I leave the store I run into a brick wall and fall backwards, just as I’m about to have my life flash before my eyes (with a cool soundtrack of course,) hands reach out and grab my upper arms.

Tingles fill my body, and in the good way, not the prety-dumb-girl-in-the-horror-movie-asking-if-anyones-there-and-is-about-to-be-killed-or-eaten-and-gets-that-eery-chill way. (Which by the way totally annoys the fudge outta me, I mean why would you ask that? It’s not like the psycho killers going to be like ‘Yeah, I’m in the living room, wanna watch the notebook?’ Seriously!) I look up and suddenly my heart stops…
