EXCERPT- I looked both ways before crossing the street, the sound of my boots thudding against the pavement. I knew he was there the moment I opened the door to the small bookstore, I could feel his presence. I thought it was strange how he always managed to be in the same place I was. I remember the first time I noticed him. I was leaving school, headed to the very same bookstore I happen to be in now, I remember walking across the parking lot to my car, and there he was leaning against the drivers side door. His lips had been pressed into a hard line and dark shades covered his eyes. I had been ready to say something to him, when he put his hand up to stop me, speaking fluent words that whould change the course of my future, and constantly keep me on edge. "My name is Derek Renner. Your life is in danger, and I am your protector now."

"So I meant nothing to you?" Whoa, change of direction. "We could have made it work, you could have talked to me. Told me that this was what you wanted." I can't speak, all this time, he thinks I left because of the contract, that I choose fame over him? "I would have followed you anywhere." That last statement kills me, I have no idea how I'm still standing up surely it's because I'm holding on to the door. "Derek, you have it all wrong." My phone rings the all too familiar ringtone interrupting us once again. I try to shut it off but it's too late. "It's like he knows when I'm with you." he says as he slams the car door closed. He runs his hands down his face "But how can he? I bet he doesn't even know I exist, you forgot I did." His words hit me like knives straight to my heart, more so because I can feel the pain behind them. "Derek I didn't forget you." I whisper taking a step towards him. "Save it, go ahead and call your boyfriend back, I'm going to take a cab." He turns around and heads back towards the street. I want to follow him, I should follow him, but I can't, I wouldn't know what to say, he's right I should have called, I should have been there with all of them but instead I shut him out without ever telling him why. And now he hated me and I had no one to blame but myself.
