Makayla's Pov

I finally got down to the lake, when I got down to the lake I was sobbing hysterically I walked down to the end of the dock and sat down. I took off my shoes and stuck my feet in the water, which didn't really help because josh and I always used to do that when we were down at the lake.

Someone came up behind me without me noticing and asked "are you okay?" I almost jumped right out of my skin and whispered to myself "oh shit!" the guy said "sorry for scaring you... but are you okay?" I was quiet for a second then I said "no, not really" I paused to think to myself quickly. "Wait, I can't be telling you what happened, I don't even know you."

"Your right, my name is chance, I'm 15 years old, and I live right over there." He pointed into the darkness because there were no lights on so I was getting worried.

"Nobody's home?" I asked with a puzzled expression on my face.

"no, I live by myself because my parents died in a car accident then I lived with my brother until he went over to Afghanistan for the army, and about a week ago I found out that he got killed by a sniper." he said sadly

"oh, I'm so sorry" I said with all the sympathy I had, surprisingly that took my mind off of why I was down here at the lake by myself this late at night, until chance asked "ya I'm sorry too, so why you down her at this time of night?" I started crying again then chance said "oh, I'm sorry I didn't know it was that touchy of a subject... do you wanna come inside and then you can tell me about what happened?"

"Sure."I said quickly and we went inside.
