Hey guys,

I know it's been ages that I've written anything AND that Addek split up. I was incredible busy, but I haven't forgotten about Addek and I STILL miss them.

I started a new story. I'm not sure if it is worth continuing yet, so I would really love to hear your feedback.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. The title "Photograph" is borrowed by the Ed Sheeran song.

Please make me happy and review.

Love Mariella

Sixteen year old Addison Montgomery sat on a bridge in a park near the big Montgomery mansion. She looked into the water. So many things changed over the summer. She looked at her reflection. Before summer holidays she had been a geek in her school, now she looked at her eflction and had to admit, that she looked so much more grown up. She finally managed to straighten her hair, didn't have braces anymore and changed her entire wandrobe. She looked quite decent by now. Still a bit geeky, but not as much as before.

Before the holidays only really few people talked to her. She only had Savy as a real friend. All the other people in school mostly talked to her, when they needed some homework or help with a test.

She looked into the water of the river below her. Would anybody really notice if she was gone? She looked down. The river was rapid and there were lots of stones in it, the chance to survive it, if she jumped now would be really slim. Would anybody miss her? Probably not. Maybe Archer and Savy. Her parents would only miss her to parade her around. Gosh, how she hated it. And the people in school? They would probably not even remember who she was, when they heard about it. Addison looked down in the river again. She shook her head, not hat was not an option, she told herself.

She heard footsteps behind her. "Hey, you ok?" A male voice asked her.

She turned around. A boy around her age stood behind her. He had the most enchanting blue eyes she had ever seen.

She hadn't noticed that tears were cascading down her face. She wiped them away quickly, gave him a small smile and nodded. He didn't look too convinced and sat down next to her. "So, wana talk about it?"
She looked in the distance. "No, not really."
He looked at her with his piercing blue eyes, but didn't say a word. They sat in silence for a long time., but it wasn't a unconfortable silence at all. Addison had never talked anybody she felt so comfortable to simply sit somewhere and not talk. „Do you know the feeling when you want to be anywhere but here?"

He smiled a bit. "I just moved with my mom and sisters from New York. I know the feeling quiet well."

She looked him in the eyes. "Oh. I'm Addison." She offered.
"Derek." He smiled at her.

Before she could say more, she heard another steps. She turned around and saw Archer coming close. She knew her mother had probably sent him to find her so they could get ready for this stupid evening event for some charity project. She sighed. "Sorry Derek, but I think I have to go."

He smiled. "So, will we see each other again?"
She smiled back. "I hope so." She said, before she stood up and went into Archer's direction.

"Hey, who did you talk to?" Archer asked his sisters.

Addison shrugged her shoulders. "He wanted to know the direction to the city center."
Archer grinned. "Poor guy, when he follows your direction, he probably will never arrive." Addison stook her tongue out. "So what do you want?"
"I'm pretty sure, you know. Bizzy sent me on the mission to go find you, so you will be ready in time for the evening event."

Addison groaned. "Fine, coming." She sighed, when she turned around once more, she noticed Derek was gone. She smiled a bit. It was nice to meet him. They hadn't really talked much at all, but they had some kind of connection and she also liked his eyes. She really hoped they would see each other again.
