"Shanan stop!". Now when your in the backyard making pictures out of clouds with the guy you've fallen for you don't expect someone to break through the back door, yelling your name. There was only one person I knew who would do something like that.
"Neena!" I cried as I launched myself into her arms with tears "where were you? Are you okay? How did you find me? Never leave me again!" I launched questions and statements at her left, right and center but her gaze was fixated one someone behind me.

"Oh Neena this is Jar-" she cut me off with a flick of her wrist, dismissing me so easily
"I know exactly who he is" she stated confidently
"Oh really and who am I?" Jared asked her confidently, as he came to stand beside me
"Your the one who's plan it was to make Shanan fall for you so he could destroy her, brother" brother? it couldn't be, but it was. Before me stood the one and only Quinn, brother of Jared.

"Why me?" I sobbed "I just came here to escape my past but it seems I'm being punished for wanting to move on" I felt betrayed and defeated. It seemed this adventure of mine had caused me to lose everything.
"When you leave your past behind you lose a part of you. It's not healthy to live in your past but to forget the lessons your past gave you, that's foolish. Your past made you who you are today" yet another person had joined our reunion, I stared at Will as he spoke such heart warming words, he had come back but even that wasn't enough to heal my heart break.

"Why?" I asked Jared
"Shanan that was my plan at first but then I fell for you. Shanan please believe me" he pleaded
"Trust is earned not given" those had been the words I had said to him when we had first met and now he I was saying them again
"I already earned your trust Shanan, now it's up to you whether you will choose to believe the lie or the truth"
"But how do I know what the truth is?" I asked him
"You don't know you just have to take a risk" a risk?

"Do you trust me Shanan?" he out a hand for me to hold but would I grab his hand? Would I trust Jared?
