Until The End

New Romance?

Getting home was a trek, but I made it. I opened the door to our living room and flopped on the couch and thought about him. I couldn't get toby off my mind. He just...disappeared. It scares me how he was there one second and gone the next. And his creepy sister is apparently watching me. She could be watching me right now for all I know.

Another thing I couldn't get off my mind was how and why was Toby in the trees? They had to be over 100m tall. But then I turned to a photo sitting in a frame on the coffee table. Then the tears started again. I picked up the photo of the day we moved here. It was me and my mum. She's gone and I have no idea where she is or if she's alive. I have no friends, no family to turn to. What am I going to do? Then Toby seeped back into my mind. I could go back into the forest and try and find him or wait until the morning.

I couldn't wait that long. I got off the couch and walked to the kitchen to check the time. 3:00. I gazed out the window to find the moon sitting in the sky about to set. I only had 5 hours until I have to be at school. I dropped my head back and trudged into my bedroom. I flipped on the light. I screamed my head off when I him standing in front of the window. "Toby! How did you get in here?" I already knew the answer but I couldn't help asking.

"Window." He replied simply.

"What are you doing here?"

"I...uh.. Brought your car back."

"Thanks?" We stared at each other. I had to turn my face away from him so he couldn't see my face. I glanced back at him, a wicked smiled planted on his face. My cheeks deepened in colour. "I think i might go." Toby exclaimed, breaking the silence.

"Ok," I looked back at him. "I'll show you to the door." I started towards the door. "Don't bother," I spun back around when he spoke. "I'll go the same way I came in! See you tomorrow!" Before jumping out the window, he flashed a brilliant smile at me, sending my heart racing. I stuck my head out the window to look for him but he wasn't there. Gone. Just like earlier.

Now he's stuck in my head for very different reasons. He is gorgeous, practically perfect. I pressed my hand against my chest to find my heat still racing. I fell onto my bed and fell asleep as soon as I hit my head against my pillow.

I woke up about four hours later. I got up and walked towards the kitchen and popped a piece of bread in the toaster. I was still thinking about Toby. I dreamt about him last night as well. Just him and his perfection. His muscular body. His golden brown eyes. His dazzling smile. I skipped dreamily into my bedroom and got dressed. Black top, black jacket, black skinny jeans and my black combat boots.

I grabbed my phone and walked out the door to my - now filled with gas, thanks to Toby - and turned on the engine. I started to back out before slamming on the brakes. My heart started racing again when I saw him standing there. He walked around to the side of the car. I rolled down the window. "Toby, what do you want?" I asked, a bit more stern than I meant.

"I was wondering if you wanted a lift to school?"

"Why would I need a lift?" I have my own car!" I want to get that lift with him to be honest. I just.. Didnt think it would be right. We officially met only yesterday and now he wants me to go to school with him. "Just..come with me?" I could feel my face redden again. "I'm fine. Maybe another time." He nodded, stood back up and walked towards a shiny black jeep. I could feel my jaw drop. "Sure you don't want a ride?" Toby called. I quickly shut my mouth to hide my amazement. "I told you, I'm fine." He shrugged before turning to his car and hopping in. I backed out and turned the car around. I started driving down the road, Toby right behind.

He came up to my window, still in his car. "Oh, and Scarlett," Him saying my name makes my heart flutter. "Make a good impression on this school. Good luck!" He said, shooting a grin at me, before he sped in front of me, way over the speed limit. The way toby had said 'make a good impression' was like he knew what I was like at my other schools.

That didn't bother me, what bothered me was that my heart was beating really fast in my chest from the smile he gave me. I had to stop the car and think before I could go on.

I know nothing about Toby, but I do know one thing.

I am deeply in love with him.
