Chapter 2

Natalie's P.O.V. 

~One Year Later~

"REED!" I screamed; right now Reed just had to be lazy, but it's early so I'm not surprised (it's 7:00am just so you know). I've been waiting for thirty minutes, when is he coming down. "REED, IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN I'LL TELL MY MOM TO LEAVE WITHOUT YOU!" 

"I'M COMING, HOLD ON!" He yells.

I should probably tell you what's happening now, right? Well, we're going to a photo shoot for Reed and his mom couldn't take him because of her job, so she got the next 'best' thing. I'm only mad 'cause I forgot how 'slow' Reed is at dressing himself. That's why I always help him, but this time Reed said he wanted to do it on his own. BIG MISTAKE. He's taking forever.

"That's it. I'M LEAVING, REED!"

"I'm right here." He said from behind me.

"OH MY GOD!" I yelled, pissing myself, not really, but you know what I mean. "Reed, geez you sacred the shit out of me."

"Okay, come on let's GO!" Reed yells, grabbing my hand and dragging me to the car. Wow, He says I'm the weirdo. Well, at least he's ready, right? When we got in the car it was crazy but lets not get into that.

*******

Once we got there Reed was pulled in right away. I mean we were only like two minutes late, but that's nothing. My mom and I walked in and next thing I know I'm being pulled into the dressing room. Once I saw Reed I was like 'Oh My God'. He looked 'hot' as people would say. I'm his best friend I can call him that, right ('Or Nah' sorry just had to)?

"Natalie." Reed said, knocking me out of my 'day-dream'.

"Yea, sorry, what was that again?"

"I said, 'What do you think'?" He said, again.

"You look great." I said, still dazed from what happened. All the people left us alone to talk. It was awkward and it was weird because we NEVER have awkward moments. 

"You've been acting different today. Are you okay? Are you sick?" How have I been acting different? Whatever.

"Reed, I'm fine don't worry. You just get to your photo shoot, hurry."  I said, pushing him out. Then, out of now where we both just start laughing. It was weird, but that us for ya'. 

We got to where he needed to go and he got started. It was funny because the photographer was asking Reed to be serious and me knowing Reed, He's not the serious type, at all. So every time he would make a serious face you would always see his smile forming on his face. It was hilarious. 

Reed came over to me and started dragging me. 

"What are you doing?' I say laughing and pulling back.

"Your gonna take photo's with me." He said in a 'duh' tone.

"No, this is your photo shoot not mine." I say still laughing.

"No, come on, it'll be fun." Now he's laughing and pulling me.

"Fine." I said giving up.

He took me to wherever he was and we started. All the pictures were fun until it came to this one. The photographer told us to stand side by side, but me being me tripped and I was getting ready to hit the ground until...

"That would have been bad." Reed said. Holding me like the movies where the girl is dipped.

"Thanks." We stayed like that for another minute when we realized we weren't alone. I got up and said a quiet 'sorry'. What just happened? I thought. I never felt that before, mostly for Reed. It was....different.
