*************

I quickly head out of school completely shocked from the talk I recently had with Barbie in the cafeteria. But I'll do what's right and I'll stay far away from her stupid boyfriend.

I head out of school through the huge transparent glass door and into the parking lot.

I see Greg come towards me with a huge smile on his face. I roll my eyes irritated to the core. I'm trying to avoid him but his coming my way.

He says while looking at me "ready to go home." I fold my arms and silently watch him. He continued speaking "Vanessa let's go home. It's getting late and we have to go before the bell rings."

Im still silently watching him because I'm thinking of a way to tell him his no longer my friend and I'm leaving the hotel. How am I gonna tell him?

He waves his hand snapping me out of my thoughts. He grabs my arm and drags me towards his truck while saying "Vanessa let's go."

We reach where he parked his truck and he finally let's me go. He opens the drivers sit while saying "Vanessa the bell might ring and people will see us together."

I have to let him know now, I open my mouth preparing to tell him that I'm leaving his hotel then the bell rings. I panic and without thinking I run to the passengers door then open it and hop in the truck.

Greg quickly places the keys into the ignition and without hesitation he drives out of there. Luckily a few people came out of class and it was not Barbie.

Greg drives for a while and he passes the hotel. I look at him so fazed. He continues driving without telling me where we're going.

"where are we going Greg?"

He doesn't reply and I just stare at the road hoping his not gonna kidnap me and take me somewhere far away.

I check the time on my iPhone and its 7pm. It's getting really late and Greg's still driving.

After a while of silence and I almost dozed off then Greg parks his truck. I get up while asking " where are we?" he hops out of his truck not replying and I hop out too following him.

I'm getting out of the truck and seeing a bushy place with a lot of hills. I ask Greg "where are we?" he looks at me and replies "somewhere special. Come on."

He grabs my hand and slowly pulls me towards a wooden small gate. He opens the small wooden gate and walks in.

I walk In as well and I'm analyzing the place carefully. The place is dark and a little creepy. Greg lets go of my hand and walks away then gets lost in the dark. I whisper so afraid "greg." I'm shaking out of fear.

After a few minutes of utter silence the lights suddenly switch on and the place was not scary or creepy anymore.

It's actually beautiful and gorgeous. It's got gorgeous glowing golden lights practically everywhere. There's a small garden at the left side and when I turn around I see a huge beautiful large cabin.

Greg walks towards me and I stare at him while my jaw is dropped. I ask him once again "Greg where are we?" he finally gives me a proper answer "we're at my families old cabin. It is at the mountain sides outskirts."

I wanna ask him why he brought me here but he grabs my arm and says "come let me show you something." then drags me quickly.

He stops dragging me finally, infront of me is a huge swamp and far was the bush and mountains. I stare at Greg and ask "this place is really beautiful but why did you bring me here?"

He holds his hair and bites his lower lip then replies "well because I wanted to show you this place. It's a very special place Vanessa."

I sit on the wet grass not caring that I'll be wet and Greg sits down too. He continues speaking "Vanessa this cabin belonged to my mom."

That immediately reminded me of Greg's story of his moms death. I smile while saying "this cabin is really beautiful."

He nodes his head while saying "yeah it is the only thing my mom left me before she died. My dad tried selling it but I refused because it's the only thing that reminds me of her."

I quickly move closer to Greg and wrap my arms around his shoulder while saying "don't ever sell this place or let your father sell it."

He smiles while looking at me and I swear I felt so uncomfortable and awkward. Plus I'm wrapped around his shoulder. I quickly move back and look at the swamp.

Greg says "sometimes I wonder how life would be if mom was alive."

I stare at him and he has tears in his eyes. Greg the popular guy at school crying right infront of me.

I unknowingly move closer to him and hug him tightly because he needed the hug so badly and he doesn't hesitate to hug me back.

He Places his sobbing face on my neck and cries his heart out.

I say slowly "cry Greg. It's about time you cried."

"thanks Vanessa I feel much better now."

He smiles after all the crying he just did and his eyes were so red then I smile back at him.

"can I ask you a personal question greg?"

He looks at me and replies "yeah ask."

"what caused your moms death greg?"

He releases a deep breath and hesitantly replies "cancer, she died of cancer."

I swear that felt like a punch in my stomach. I say "I'm sorry for asking. It's non my business." he looks at me and says "Vanessa don't even dare apologizing because it's your business now."

"a death caused by cancer is the worst."

He looks at me and nodes his head while saying "yeah it's the worst but most women in America die because of cancer and it's sad."

He stands up while wiping his tears changing the topic and saying "away from all that. Today I scored the home run congratulate me."

I stand up while saying " you are even begging me to congratulate you."

He walks in the center of the grass field then takes out his hand and says "Vanessa a slow dance would be the best congratulation gift."

I gaze at him so flustered, suddenly I see barbies evil and hostile face pop up and say to me " you don't wanna be enemies with a cheerleader. Leave Greg alone!"

I panic because I forgot about the promise I made to Barbie of leaving Greg alone.

How am I gonna tell Greg that I'm leaving him?
