Matt's POV
I ran out of the house after cleaning. I could not stand that man anymore! Ever since mom left... he's just been so violent getting drunk nearly every night. I didn't know what I was going to do, one day I thought he would kill me.
I didn't know where to go or what to do, all I knew is that I wanted to be away from him. As I was walking towards a bar I passed by Rachael's house. People said she had gone on vacation so she wouldn't be there, but I saw a light flicker in her room. Someone was robbing her house!
I didn't know what to do call the cops or handle this myself. The guy probably had a knife but I was prepared. Wait a second, this makes no sense. If her mom and dad were here, then where was she?
I was curious, it might just be her parents in her room. I climbed up the tree and looked through the window. I couldn't see anything because the curtains were closed! I tried to open the window but it was bolted shut. Is this like a jail or something? Then I saw the other part of her window which was slightly open, but just out of my reach.
"God this is the weirdest thing ever..." I mumbled to myself. Just then something slimy landed on my head.
"Oh you dang bird!" I think I was drunk, I was talking to a bird!
"You just pooped on me idiot! Come down here and fight me!" I hissed.
It didn't matter I reached for the open window and grabbed the ledge. Suddenly the window shut right on my fingers, I tried to contain the pain while looking at Rachael's face, "I hate you Derek!"

Rachael's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night, I had a bad dream about Derek telling everyone about Colby. I was just standing there not able to do anything. Colby wasn't only my brother but my best friend.
I put on the lights and splashed my face with cold water. I couldn't get sleep so I just lay there thinking about Derek, Derek, DEREK! That boy had no manners! I trusted him with something and he used it against me!
All of a sudden I heard some mumbling outside, then it grew louder.
"Oh you dang bird!" What the heck?
"You just pooped on me idiot! Come down here and fight me!" I began giggling. Wait a go bird poop on Derek!
My windows were closed shut so he couldn't get in. Maybe he'll fall down and I would never have to see that bum again.
Just then I saw a hand poke through the window I ran and shut the window, "I hate you Derek!"
I was hoping he would fall, how could I be so evil? Well, he was the one who had the guts to threaten me!
I couldn't see his face but I saw the hand clench in pain and I smiled. I was about to walk away when I heard a raspy voice, "Please, its just m-me M-Matt."
Oh no! Matt? I ran to the window opened it, and tried to help him up. He was HEAVY!
"Its fine I'll do it myself."
He pushed up with his arms and I saw his muscles ripple, and I felt like melting. Wait, no he is not for you, I said to myself. Plus he likes pretty girls, all the girls at school are way better. Why in the world would he go after you!
"Matt sorry I thought you were De- a burglar."
"Yeah, a Derek Burglar?" He said rubbing his hands. "Did you really have to do that?"
"Sorry."
"Haha.. its okay."
"Not to be mean but... why are you here?"
"The real question should be why are YOU here?"
"You answer first."
He sighed, "I was just walking and saw your light on..."
"You are just walking at 1 AM?"
"Yeah, I had problems so I had to take a walk!"
"Not so loud my parents are sleeping!" She whisper-screamed.
"You answer my question." I said in a low voice.
"I live here silly." she giggled, she was so cute.
"I know. But you are supposed to be "on vacation"."
"Technically I am on vacation."
"Did Derek hurt you, you said you hated him."
I looked down. "No he didn't..."
"Are you sure."
"We are going through a phase."
"What happened?"
"Can you leave?"
-----------------------------------------------------
Matt's POV
"Come on, I'm trying to be nice here." Why was I being nice, she wanted me to leave but I didn't want to!
"Fine I like caught him like cheating on me... Happy?" I knew she was lying. She said like a lot when she lied.
"Oh, with who?"
"You know some girl." She was horrible at lying.
"Come on what happened I won't tell." She looked tired and worn out.
"Really its nothing." I could see her eyes watering.
I sat next to her and put my arms around her waist. "Come on, I promise to me nice and if I tell.. then you can... have a free shot at kicking me in the balls."
She half smiled and rested her head on my chest this got a bit lovey-dovey. To much for me!
"Okay, but you have to let me kick you if you tell."
"Promise."
"You look funny with bird poop on your head." She laughed.
"Don't change the topic." I said embarrassed. Did she hear my conversation with the bird?
