-------------------------

I sat in my house, glaring at all the boxes. I had been unpacking since the morning, and I desperately need a break. As I rub my forehead, I stand up from my crossed leg position and adjust my eyes to the time on the microwave. 11:47pm... Wonderfull time to go take a walk. I think as I grab a coat and put on shoes. Sure, it is still summer, but it can still be cold in the middle of the night in New York. (Authors note: The country part. Every time I tell someone that I've lived in New York, they flip and think I am talking about New York City. Trust me, if I were, I would've said New York City.. Anyways, on with the story)

Just enjoying this nice walk around outside and I suddenly become stiff as I hear something. As I glance around me, the noise stopped. "I am really not up for horror stories right now.." I muttered and continued walking. Again, I hear the noise and stop. And once again, I glance around. This time, though, I see a figure of a girl sitting on a bench close to the pond. She was hugging her knees and sobbing. One side of me wants to go comfort her, but the other side says to keep walking. I don't want to seem like a creep who just wants to get into her pants though... So I go sit down on the bench.

"You do know, there could be some guy watching you and planning to rape you or something.." I say in attempt to make her laugh.

"S-screw o-off" The smirk from my face wiped away.

Taken aback from her harshness, I say "Uh.. I, I am sorry. Truly. Uh, so.. Want to tell me what is, uhm.. What is wrong?"

"What!? Do-don't you have s-something better to do? Anyways, I-I'm not about to t-tell some stranger my-my life problems.." Well, this is conversation, right?

"I don't have to be a stranger. Here-" I hand her my coat. What the hell is this girl doing. It is midnight and she is half naked. She is only wearing an over-sized shirt and short pajama shorts.. "And my name is Alec. Alec Hanson. I actually just moved here, a couple blocks that way" I point. Who am I kidding, she wont even look me in the eye, she wont care which direction I live.. "So, wanna tell me why you are crying?"

She glances at me long enough so I could see the pain in her eyes. Probably a break up.. She had mid waist dark auburn hair, big hazel eyes, thin, probably around 120 pounds and 5'6''. God, she is gorgeous. How old is she...? Alec! Shut up, you can't think like that. You are 22 years old. She is probably younger then 18. And anyways, she is crying and all you think about is dating her? You're sick Alec, sick. Wow. My mind can be really rude sometimes.. I raise my eyebrows at her, signaling I am listening.

"I.. Uh.. I fell.."

"From that bruise on your arm, it doesn't really look like you fell." She looks down at her newly bruised arm. The bruise is in the shape of a hand. Shit. What have I gotten myself into.. All of the sudden, she throws herself at me and returns to crying on my shoulder and hugging me as I sit there, bewildered.

"He didn't mean it.. He didn't.." she says between sobs. That was how it was for about five minutes, her soaking my shoulder and muttering, while I sit underneath her and comfortingly rub her back. The funny part is, I don't even know her name..

..

"Hey, it will be okay....?"

"Oh my god. I just destroyed your shirt from my crying and I never even told you my name.. It's Hailey. Hailey Parker." I could tell she tried with all her might to put on a smile.

"Ah, well it will get better Hailey.. Hey, why don't I walk you home?" I offered. I really would've have just left, but I kind of wanted my jacket back..

"Yeah, sure. Why not?" She looked at me. I tried not to make it obvious that I knew she was studying my features, so I thought of the one distraction I had in mind; glance down at my watch. It was 1:20am. I looked back at her and stood up, extending my hand for her to pull herself up with. What am I supposed to do now? Hold her waist? Carry her? Gahh.. Girls are so hard to understand. Lets go with the waist..

"Damn. You look better in my coat then I do!"

She laughed and I gently held her side. That was the only thing said until we got to her house, not including directions.

"Well, thank you Alec. I guess I will be seeing you around, as you live like, right down the road from me.." She actually was paying attention when I pointed the direction of my house..

I looked at her, even though I was on step two of three at her porch, I was still a bit taller then her. I wanted to kiss her so badly. I didn't just want to kiss her, I wanted to never leave. Her big beautiful eyes waiting for a response. Should I? Should I make a move?

"Well, it was nice meeting you Hailey." I smiled, cupping the side of her face, gently so it wasn't that obvious how badly I wanted her. And to think I never believed in love at first sight... Slowly pulling my hand away from her face, I turn and shove my hands in my pockets, when I feel a hand on my arm pulling me back.

"Alec..?"

"Yea-" And boom go the fire works! She kissed me slightly on the cheek. Score!

"Don't forget this" she smiled handing me my coat back. I shot her a grin back, and continued my way down the steps.
