   I walk down the long, stone path of the park. I take a deep breath, letting the cool air fill my lungs. I peer over at the playground and notice a few children playing. In the corner of my eye I swear I see Slenderman. No surprise there. I smile to myself and continue to walk on the narrow path.

   A girl with brown hair and brown eyes passes by me. She looks at me for a few seconds before she stops walking.

   "Cheyenne?" I'm taken aback by her talking to me. I stop walking.

   "E-excuse me?" She sighs deeply and sorrow fills her eyes.

   "I'm sorry. You just look a lot like my friend. She passed away around your age. In a car accident." Tears fill her eyes. She quickly wipes a stray tear.

   "Did you say Cheyenne?" She looks up and nods slightly.

   "Yes." A glint of happiness touches her eye.

   "May I ask your name?" I ask the girl.

   "Tilyn." She holds a hand out. I take it in mine and shake it lightly. She pulls out a piece of paper and writes something on it with a pen. "I must be going but this is my number. I'd love to continue our chat." I nod and smile at her. She continues what she was doing.

   I start walking into the trees and back to the house. When I walk inside, mom looks at me. She smiles widely at me. "Hey sweety."

   "Hey mom." I walk over to her. "Did you happen to get in a car crash?" She raises an eyebrow at me.

   "I don't think so." She furrows her eyebrows.

   The door opens and dad walks through. "Hi guys. What going on?" He walks over to mom and takes his mask off before kissing her softly. I sigh loudly inwardly.

   "Was I ever in a car crash?" Mom asks dad. He thinks for a second before nodding.

   "When we were trying to hide you away from the world." He says it like it's a great memory.

   "Why were you doing...Never mind. Who's Tilyn?" I ask the both of them. Mom's face drains of color.

   "Why? Did you see her?" I nod slowly in response.

   "Who is she?" I raise an eyebrow at her.

   "She's my old best friend. She thought I died in the crash. Along with everyone else." She falls silent and looks at the table where her paperwork lays. I take the number and lay it on the table.

   "She misses you. Don't hesitate to call." I walk back out the door and into the trees once more. I've been trying to find some sort of peace for a couple a days.

   Hoody and I haven't talked since the day it was snowing. Which feels like a year ago when it was only about six days ago. The feeling of him being away from me for even a day makes me feel cold. Lonely. Broken. I've been fighting my hardest to keep him away from my mind. I don't want his love. No matter how much I crave for it, I dont want it.

   I take in a deep breath and let the fresh air fill my lungs again. Relief washes over me. I love living in the middle of the woods. Away from people and cars. Just you and the trees that smell of pine and oak and sap. I lean against a large pine tree and admire the grayish sky through the pine needles. I close my eyes and cross my arms. I take another deep breath.

   "It's beautiful out here." I hear a voice beside me. I open my eyes and see Hoody looking up where I was moments before.

   "Yeah." I answer quietly. Hoody looks at me.

   "Not at beautiful as you, though. Nothing can beat your beauty." Hoody compliments quietly. He walks to where he's in front of me and looks down at me. He takes a step closer to where our bodies are touching. I can't move because the tree is in the way.

   "Where have you been?" Is all I can ask. I try to avoid his eyes as my cheeks heat up. He brushes his hand on my cheek lightly.

   "I thought if I stayed away from you I wouldn't love you so much." Pain flashes across his eyes.

   "How did that work out?" I ask, my voice even more quiet than before. He brings his covered face closer to mine.

   "I found it the toughest time I've ever experienced in my years of living." He whispers to me. As much as I want to push him away from me, I can't. Because if I do, I'll gain the same feeling of loneliness I had before.

   "You don't know how much I've wanted to see you." I say quietly. Hoody lifts his mask and....kisses me.

   Okay so I did research (ALLLL day) and finally found out that Brian from Marble Hornets doesn't have a stutter. And it says he is Hoody so yeah. At least I didn't hear he had a stutter.... I'm not sure. Everyone's book is different though ^-^ and I also discovered Hoody still has those red eye things in the MH however I didn't see them at first. In this story they just aren't there because otherwise how would we know what he's feeling half the time? Exactly. Hehe.

THANKS FOR READING MY LOVELIES!
