Quen's P.O.V 

"I can't believe how much my sister improved for the past weeks!!" Kathryn squealed, still not believing what had happened during Julia's dance class.

The moment she heard someone talking about "The dance floor princess" she hurriedly ran towards the dance room and I had to ran faster than usual just to match her pace. She had not yet believed that her sister was dancing and yet another unbelievable thing happened. Julia hugged her! It was a big step for Julia, to touch-- or more like, hug-- someone, even if it was her sister. Daniel is doing his job seriously. That boy, always one to help others.

"I have to thank DJ.. I owe him a lot." I heard Kath say while sitting next to me on the grass in the garden outside the Palace. 

"You don't have to." I simply said, turning my gaze to face her. I saw her knit her brows in confusion. I giggled softly at her. " DJ, he had always been like that.. once he put his mind to it, he would surely struggle just to reach his goal. Julia, she's someone special to him. He sees himself in her. I'm pretty sure he made it his goal to bring her back to life just like what he did for himself." I said, not realizing that I almost gave away Daniel's darkest secret.

"what?!" she asked in pure bewilderment.

"oh-uh nothing. just forget what I said." I looked down to avoid her gaze, cause I know, when I saw those beautiful dark eyes of hers, I might give in and tell her the truth.

"You have to tell me!!" She lifted my chin so I would be face to face with her.

"Not my story to tell." As the words left my lips, I saw Kath drop her shoulders in disappointment. "Maybe one day, he'll tell you himself." I smiled as I saw Daniel walking towards us with Julia beside him.

The way he looks at Julia, never have I ever seen him looking at anyone else like that. My good friend, I hope he did not put his heart out for this assignment. It's wrong, and is dangerous. Paul Martin is not one to just let go of the things or people he thinks he owns. I'm afraid for Daniel, I'm afraid he'll just get his heart shattered when the time comes, or maybe, even his life. I know helping Julia is what makes him happy, but loving her? It's a big mistake. But I have to trust him, and I do.

"Bro, I finally convinced Julia to come with us in L.A this Christmas vacation... How about Kath?" Daniel asked happily.

"I haven't asked her yet." I looked at Kath who was knitting her brows in confusion. "Stop that!" I scolded, laughing softly.

"Stop what?" She pouted.

"Being cute." I said and covered my mouth as I realized what I just said. 

Kath's P.O.V

I looked away from them as I felt my cheeks get hot. One of the many things I noticed since they arrived, Quen's effect on me. He can make me blush or smile with his little words or gestures, like opening the door for me or pulling the chair out for me to sit. Maybe it's wrong to feel this way? or is it just normal? Is it just, what do they call it again? Crush? or is it something bigger? Something I never expected? To many questions, none were getting answered. MAybe it's just me being a teenager? yeah, guess so.

"So, since your sister is coming, would you want to come to?" He asked as I finally met his eyes. I had to fight the urge to pull him closer and press my lips against his soft ones. I shook my head to stop the weird idea that pop in my mind.
