"Do I even matter to you?"
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I can't just pass that up!"
"I hope you have fun there, then, thinking about me every single day and wondering- where did it all go wrong? Why did I let you go?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carrie Miller is a girl that's all about the scenery. Photography is what she feeds off of to enjoy life, and to tolerate her job at a local clothing store. In fact, photography is her escape from other people. She's standoffish- always annoyed by others and their idiotic moves to accompany them. She never thought anyone else would ever matter to her, that it was just her and her camera.
Otis Gaillard is a man with morals and determination. He stops by every day just to see her- the one girl he doesn't know the name of, the one girl who's bold enough to brush off every person who says "hi". In fact, he's so determined, he spends each day trying to get this girl's attention. No matter how annoying, no matter how intolerable, he vows to steal her heart piece by piece.

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it."

I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.Complete
