Rachel's p.o.v.
"....my father had always been abusive and my mom had always tried to protect me. One night, while I was locked in my small room, I heard screams. I ran down the stairs and saw him beating my mother. I ran in front of him and told him to stop but he threw his empty beer bottle at my forehead. One of the shards of glass got stuck in my forehead and I was gushing out blood. My mother told to run and find the nearest hospital and so I did. I knew I should have stayed there. I passed out on the way there and some people found me and brought me to the hospital. I have a scar on my forehead now. So that's how my mother died. And then this is also why I ran away. I stole from Garfield to get started on my own in Gotham City. And on the way there I realized that I couldn't do it. And so I came back and now I'm here."

I looked up from the floor. They looked terrified. "Oh Rachel!" Garfield's mother hugged me and then so did Garfield.

I forgot to ask the bus drivers name. Oops..

Garfield's mom let go of me while Garfield still hugged me tightly. She went to the phone and called someone. Not quite sure who though. She stepped out of the room to talk in private.

Third person P.o.v.
Rita was talking to the police while Garfield and Rachel were having a conversation about why he dyed his hair green while Rachel was gone. "I found the lost girl. ...we'll be right over!!" Rita walked back in.

Rachel's P.O.V.
"Who was that Rita?" We looked at her for an answer as she put the phone back on the table. "That was-" she got cut off by someone knocking on the door.

She walked over to it and answered it. I looked over there. It was the police. I knew she would tell them! They walked in.

"Hello Rachel. Please come with us and we will bring you back home to your father." No!! I can't! "Please don't! " I yelled.

Rita told them to come and talk to her so she could tell them. They came back into the room. The two men looked at me and smiled.

I know that smile anywhere! That was the us driver! Before they were about to step out of the door, I yelled, "wait!" They looked back at me. I walked up to the one I suspected to be the bus driver.

"Do I know you?" He smiled a big smile and replied, "of course Rachel" and took off his sunglasses. It was him! "I forgot to ask.... what's your name?" He looked behind me towards Garfield and Rita and then back to me. "Well if you really want to know, it's Officer Smith. And my first name is Adam." He said and left.

"Who was that?" Garfield asked with a dumbfound look on his face while his mother was in their kitchen cooking tofu for Garfield and ham for his father, Rita, and me.

"Umm, someone I met on the way to Gotham. " I said while still looking at the door. "Oh. Well, come on. I have to tell you something. " he said fast and ran out the door yelling, "MOM ILL BE BACK!! LOVE YOU!" She screamed, "LOVE YOU TOO HONEY!" And I ran out with him.

I chased him all the way to the park. We sat on a bench. And he sighed. "Did you mean it when you said you loved me?" He said looking me in the eye. "Uh, yea. " I said and blushed and looked away.

"I know you don't feel the same way but I hope we can be something more than friends maybe later or, ugh. Never mind. " I said feeling embarrassed.

"Are you, Rachel Roth, asking me out on a.... date?!" He said teasingly.  "Umm yea. I guess I am. " I said and smiled to myself. I don't know why. But I did.

"Well. I do like you like that. But I also like Tara like that. And kole also asked me out and I think I'm going to say no to her. But I have to choose between you and Tara. " he said.

"Well you should probably just tell Tara yes right now. " I said looking down at the ground. "Why?" He asked. " because if you say yes to me then she'll bully me for the rest of my life. " I said with tear brimmed eyes.

"She bully's you?!" He asked surprised. I blushed. "U- uh. I- she- y- no." I stuttered. "Yes she does. " he said. "No. She's better than me anyways. "

"No she isn't. You are wonderful. My parents are home. They went on a date. Let me show you how much I love you tonight."  My eyes widened. He took my hand and ran to his room.

( A/N I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NOW. SO IM JUST GOING TO SKIP IT TO SUNDAY MORNING.)

I woke up to me cuddling Garfield. What happened last night? I got up to change into some clothes. And I DIDNT HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON!! Now I remember what happened!!

Does this mean we're dating? Wait. We didn't use 'protection'. Does this mean I might get pregnant?! I'm 16! If he got me pregnant I swear I'll kill him and then when he's in hell I'll grab his ghost and call the ghostbusters.

I had subconsciously grabbed my clothes and went into his bathroom and changed while I was thinking. I could hear him waking up on the other side of the door.

And then he screamed. That made me scream too. So now that I was fully dressed I ran out of the bathroom because his screaming scared me.

He was covered up with a whole lot of blankets and had clothes in his hand. "Umm. I'm just gonna. Uh. " and then he ran to the bathroom.

I brushed my hair and when I was done he walked out of the bathroom. And Yes. He was dressed. "So... about last night. Uhh-" I cut him off, " um. Did you really mean it?" I said suddenly interested in the design on his comforter.

"Yes. And I love you. Not Tara. Will you go out with me?" He asked and held my hand. "Yes!" I yelled and hugged him.

"Rachel! *gasp* need! AIR!" Oh yea. I let go of him. "Sorry. It's just I'm really happy and I could just-" and I ran around his room, did to summersaults, and then ran down the street. Garfield followed me.

I had finally made it to the beach that was 2 blocks away from his house and jumped into the lake that most people of Jump City were swimming in on this beautiful day.

He started to laugh . "Rachel. You just got dressed into clean clothes." He bent down on the sand. "But I'm so happy!" I said and pulled him in. "RACHEL!!!!" He screamed and dunked me under water. I grabbed his feet and pulled him under. When he came up I tapped his arm and yelled, "you're it!" And swam away as fast as I could.

He chased me and I went deeper under. He followed and caught my foot. "TAG!" He yelled under water so i could barley hear him.

I chased him and then he stopped. I ran into him. He looked like he had just saw his whole house be stolen. He swam up shore and ran onto the sand.

He reached into his back pocket. And pulled out his phone. It was drenched. "Um. I hope the case is water proof." I said. He gave me an angry look.

He pushed the home button and it didn't turn on. "Sorry. " I said and grabbed his hand. " let's go home. " I said. And we started walking to his house hand in hand.

"What do I do now?" He asked staring at his soaked phone. "Where is Richard's house?" I asked. "Um. Down this road then take a left and it's the biggest one." He said looking confused. "Well if you don't want to get into trouble by your mother, let's go there. " I said and turned down another road.

"Oh. Okay. " he said. After minutes of awkward silence, I broke it. " do you think my father will ever be back to get me?" "No. The police will make sure of it. "

"Okay. I love you Garfield. " I said hoping it wouldn't be to early. "I love you too. "

I remembered that we didn't use 'protection' last night and decided I would call my girl friends to help me out. Ya know, maybe bring some of those 'tests'.

"Are you thinking?" He asked. "Yea. " "about last night?" "Yea. " he hugged me. "Anything else?" He questioned again. "My father. " "He won't get you with me protecting you. " he said and kissed my forehead.

I hope he's right........
