I can't help falling in love with you

Untitled Part 1

Like a river flows, surely to the sea

Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Elvis Presley-I can't help falling in love

Bridgeport, Connecticut. 194.

Edward Warren was working that Wednesday night at the entrance of the cinema and as always, the handsome gray-eyed boy was waiting for Lorraine Moran to appear.

Lorraine was a beautiful girl with brown hair falling in waves on her shoulders, a beautiful smile and the bluest and also kinder eyes than he had ever seen. He knew she was a junior high school student, while her was a senior, because he had seen the girl once in his school, going to the classroom.

Every Wednesday, she would came with her mother to watch a movie, and the first time that Ed had seen her in a summer dress with her mother in the queue, he'd felt as if his world had stopped, hearing her mother call her name, telling her something.

He had lost himself in her blue eyes, which had turned o the other side quickly as she'd lowered her face, flushed and he'd known he was in love with her, as his heart raced. But he'd never had the courage to talk to her, despite being popular in school and many girls wanting to go out with him.

Despite her beauty and gentle way, every time he saw her there in the cinema, he saw how lonely she was, despite going with her mother. There were always other teens there, some girls he knew were from her class, they didn't talk to her, some of them would cast her scorn looks and it had started to bother Ed, making him feel a strong desire to take Lorraine away to protect and love her, even though something told him that she was a strong girl and knew how to take care of herself.

Ed ran a hand through his brown hair when then he saw the beautiful girl, no, the most beautiful girl in the world, stopping in front of the wall of the street where the posters of the films on display were, but this time alone. Seeing that there was no one in the queue, he stepped out from behind the rope that blocked the entrance to the rooms and took a deep breath, touching the cross he always wore under his shirt, ready to go talk to her.

But when he started walking toward her, he saw two girls and two boys approaching Lorraine and he could hear what one of the girls was saying, while Lorraine turned to them, her eyes sad.

"Look who's here, weird Lorraine. Don't you have a tarot card to read or something like that tonight?"

"Lauren, please, stop it." Lorraine asked tiredly, but polite.

Lauren and some of her friends had been teasing her since elementary school, when Lorraine had realized she was clairvoyant and accidentally discovered that Lauren had been responsible for pushing a girl from their class down the stairs, because she had been chosen for a beauty contest instead of Lauren and Lorraine had confronted her about that.

Since that day, Lauren began to bother Lorraine, realizing that she could see certain things and convinced the others girls to tease her. Since that day, Lorraine had begun to avoid her classmates and friends and focused on her studies, and her mother, who knew of her gift, had suggested that to transfer her to another school, but as Lorraine said, it wouldn't change anything and that she had to face it her problems.

"But it's true, you're not normal!" Lauren continued, smirking and turning to Bob, her boyfriend, a bully from the senior year.

Boy blocked Lorraine's way when she'd tried to get away from him, crossing his arms and looking at her in a malicious way, startling her. Lorraine knew that one of the reasons Lauren had started making her life difficult was because Bob had always wanted Lorraine, but after Lauren had told their friends that Lorraine was crazy, Bob started dating her.
