Luke's P.O.V.

We walked in silence toward the main spot of the park.  There were a few kids there already, but none that I recognized.

Anna seemed lost in thought.  She kept glancing around, as if expecting an answer among the trees.  She's been extremely distant for the past ten minutes.  We kept traveling until my foot hit the mulch.

"Anna," I called softly.  "We made it."  She looked at me and realized where she was.  I could've sworn I saw a tear.

"I'm home," she whispered.  "I'm really home."  And just like that she started running.  To what, I wasn't quite sure.  I just knew that she was running from me and I didn't like it.  I followed her- until I fell.

"What the heck are you doing?" she yelled at me.  "Let's go!"  Hope exploded in me and I got up, dusting myself off as I continued behind her.  Anna wasn't leaving me.

Yet.

I wasn't sure where we were going, but Anna seemed to know exactly where and had a determined look on her face.  I just watched her head, waiting for her to turn around and make sure I was following.  She never did, and that made me slightly depressed.  I felt like she didn't care.  She stopped after about ten minutes, in front of a medium-sized house.  It seemed around five years old.

"I'm home," she said so lightly I could barely hear it.  She finally looked at me with sad eyes.  Yup, she's been crying.  Anna walked over to me and put her hands on my shoulders.  It might have been corny, but my heart started racing.  Hopefully you couldn't feel it through shoulders.

"Thank you," she said.  And walked away just like that.  She opened the door and called for someone.  I heard shouting and laughter and sobs, and the door closed.

I was alone.

(This seems like a good place to stop, but.......I'll continue for you lovelies!)

Tears were threatening to pour out onto my face.  No, I told myself.  I'm not crying over her.  Not now.

I had to be brave for Anna.  She wouldn't like a guy who cries when she leaves.  But would anything possibly make her like me?

"There he is!  Get him!"  Oh no.

Anna's P.O.V.

I felt ecstatic in the embrace of my parents.  We were all crying, some more then others (*cough* Mom *cough*).  Yet, I felt like something was missing.

Luke was missing.

I wasn't certain about my feelings for him.  I only knew that we had a special relationship.  I really did appreciate every little thing he did for me.  But I couldn't give him the wrong idea.  I couldn't stay with him when I could be with my family.  I haven't seen them for a long time, after all.  I just couldn't stand the idea of leaving him like that.  Maybe I should go apologize.

"Mom, dad," I said.  "I need to go do something."

"Are you kidding me, Anna?" my Mom shrieked.  "We haven't seen you for how long, and you have to go do something?"  She pulled me even closer.  How that was possible, I wasn't sure.

"Please, mom," I begged.  "I'll be back in one minute."  She sighed, but reluctantly let go.  I'll be watching you.

"I know.  Thanks."  I kissed her and ran out the door, only to find that Luke was gone.  I whipped my head around to see that terrible black van.  "Oh my gosh."  They drove off, and I could see Luke trying to get out.  They have him.  They have Lucas.  "Mom. Dad.  Mom!"
