Shiloh's P.O.V

I caught Trent staring at me when I rubbed my arms.. God why is it so cold out here? I should've brought a sweater today... He's really strange just standing here with me. I thought he would've headed home already but he hasn't.. Man this is awkward.. My scars are showing even more now with this chilled air.. "So, uhmm Trent? How do you like living down here in Texas? I mean like, it's suckishh without the big cities around us.." "I like it fine actually, I've always liked the flat areas.. My mom used to talk about how she wanted to move us out here one day to the beautiful, wide outdoors but she never got the chance.." "What do ya mean? You're here now.." 'Crap.. what if she's not here.? did his parents divorce?' "She passed away two years ago.. Leukemia.. She didn't tell me or my brother until it was too late. My step father, Jesse brought us here in hopes to keep her alive in our hearts.." I choked on my air. I started tearing up.. That's how Daddy passed.. "I'm so sorry Trent.. really.. My dad.. H-he passed when I was two from the same thing.. I bet you miss her, huh? How old is your brother and yourself? Jesse is nice to you guys right..? You're okay..?" I barely utter the last few words before I start crying.. "More than anything.. She kept me whole, Trey's 17 next month, I'm 15 today actually.. Jesse, well I find him difficult.. He has his days and others not so much. Before he found out, he used to beat the hell out of my mom and one day I was yelling for him to stop he got me and choked me till I blacked out. But now, i guess he's trying to make up for it.. " he said silently walking toward the direction of my neighborhood, weird.. We lapse into silence while we walk down the sidewalk until we both stop at my house. "This your place?" he asks taking it in. "Yeah, home.. If you can call it that. Yours?" "Next door, that's crazy.. Hey, uhm meet me out here tomorrow morning?" he says blushing.. "Sure thing, happy birthday by the way.." I say. "Thanks and Shiloh? I'm sorry about your Dad.. I couldn't imagine losing someone so close to me when I was little.. It'll be okay, k? Just don't let others get you down.." He says turning on his heel to the direction of his house I whisper my goodbye as he looks back smiling...

Trent's P.O.V

She's beautiful.. but I feel like she's hurting in a way she doesn't let anyone see.. I have to help her.. Be her friend.. She's different than the other girls I've liked.. She's different..
