I'm not a very good writer I don't know if you will like it or not. I hope you do. It is really hard to put my thoughts into words on paper. Write them and have them make sense. The locket very sentimental. Rose and Cathy huge part of June's life and of the story. I don't know if I should do more and keep going. Give me your opinion please.

June

When I run past him and he calls my name I feel like someone saved me and killed me at the same time. My heart stopped and I stopped right in my tracks when I heard his voice. I turn around and I see him. His hair is cut and his eyes are that beautiful blue that make me feel like I'm drowning. He catches up will me.

"I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude and interrupt you," He says only a foot away from me. Calm down and keep it together June! I yell at myself from in my head. "but you just caught my eye and -"

"And?" I ask him trying to make sure my head is on right. Trying to remember if I hit my head early. Maybe I did and this is all just my imagination or I'm in a dream. I know it's not but this all just seems insane.

"I know you probably think I sound like a creep. You look familiar and I wanted to know if we know each other. Do I know you? Have we met?" He asks me and I feel like someone just put a bullet in my heart. I don't know what to say. I know my heart will break into a million pieces if I say no. Just like it did ten years ago. I have to just let him move along. I kills me to say it but I do.

"I don't think we have met." I say trying to stay calm as possible. He frowns only for a second. I think he believes it.

"Okay. Well then let me introduce myself. I'm Daniel." He says holding out his hand for me to shake and I do.

"HI, I'm June." I say while shaking his hand. "It's nice to met you." His hand sends warmth through my body.

"June?" He says. "June Iparis as in the girl who was running for Princeps?"

"Yeah. That was me. I didn't go much into politics. It really wasn't meant for me." I say

"Oh." He says as we unlock hands.

"What brings you to town?" I say really trying to keep it together.

"My brother Eden, has an interview for a job in Battalla sector." He says gesturing to the young man heading towards us. It takes me a second to realize that this is Eden. He is no longer that little twelve year old boy. "Hey Eden this is-"

Eden cuts him off "June? I haven't talked to you in years. I heard you became a Commander. That's incredible. Tess told me." Tess. Of course. She did this. On my birthday. Of course. Day looks confused. He just looks back and forth between me and Eden. While we talk.

"Eden it is so nice to see you again. You look much older. I guess that happens in ten years. You sure aren't twelve anymore."

"No I'm not even though Daniel still thinks I am sometimes." He gestures towards him and he is still just standing puzzled. "I have to say you look like you must have come a long way in ten years as well. We are actually headed towards Tess's place. You wouldn't happen to know the way would you?" He says the last part smiling so I know Tess and Eden came up with together. I just know.

"Actually I am headed there now. I can show you the way." I say and Eden just nods. Day is so confused.

"You two know each other?" Day asks me and Eden.

"June helped fine the cure for the plague and I think you two might have fought in the war together. I'm not sure let's go." He says before I have a chance to say anything and gestures for me to start leading the way.

I just start walking to Ruby sector where Tess lives. Then I remember why I was in Lake. I was waiting for Rose and Catherine. Rose is twenty-two now. Catherine is twelve now. They are ten years apart. I met Rose and Catherine (or Cathy) on the streets of Lake eight years ago. They were just kids with no one and no where to stay. I took them in and they still live with me. I helped Rose get into Drake and now she is one of my Captains. Catherine is in school now. Both are extremely smart. Rose just needed help. At first Rose didn't trust me at all. I gave Cathy hope and then Rose excepted my help. Rose says I'm like an older sister to her. I told her she could be what ever she wanted if she just put her mind and some hard work into it. I told Cathy the same thing. Cathy wants to be an engineer. When Cathy was six she called me her mother. Rose wasn't as shocked as I was. Tess sort of became an Aunt to them. Rose, Cathy, and Tess are my family now. I watch out for and protect. I was suppose to wait there for Rose and Cathy and we were going to go to Tess's together. I pull dial Rose's number and out of the corner of my eye I can see Eden and Day looking at me confused. I ignore and listen to the ringing. We aren't to far away from the train station to get on the train that we have to board to get to Tess's. I will loose my phone call in there.

"Hey, June!" Her chirp rings through my ear for a second before I reply.

"Hey, Rose. Where are you?" I ask because for a second I think I hear Tess in the background.

"I'm at Tess's already. I decided not to wait for you. I will see you soon I guess because I can hear the trains so bye-bye." Then she hangs up before I can say anything else to her.

"She just hung up on me." I say to myself out loud. I look at Day and Eden as Eden says "Who hung up on you?"

"Rose." I say then explaining who she and Cathy are as I board the train. "She just ditched me. She's hiding something."

"How can you tell?" Day asks me.

"Rose's voice goes to a high pitch when she lies. The last word she said it in her high pitch voice that's why she hung up on me thinking I wouldn't tell." I explain.

Day looks at me then he points at Eden and says "Eden's voice cracks." He says and laughs. I can't help but laugh.

"No I don't! Do I?" He says looking embarrassed and something else I can't quite figure out. Relieved? Why relieved?

"Yes you do, Bro." Day says. That reminds me of my brother and then I reach for the necklace around my neck. When I went through some of my older brother's old stuff a few years ago I found a letter for me.

...

Dear Junebug,

If you are reading this it means I'm dead. I wished you would never be on your own so it kills me to write this. I hope I didn't leave too soon. Anyway, in this envelope there is a locket. It was mom's she would have want you to have it. I just couldn't give it to you without breaking down. You have her eyes and hair and sense of adventure. Keep it. Don't ever let go of it.

...

I haven't taken the necklace off since that day. It brings me joy. One day I will either give it to Rose, Cathy, or one my daughters if I ever become a mother. Eden talks about some engineering stuff the rest of the way to Tess's. I just got everything together. Why? Why did they have to make us meet again? I have Rose and Cathy. I don't want to think of him because I don't want him to remember me. Part of me does and part of me doesn't. If he remember he remembers the pain I caused and will hate me again. If he doesn't I just have to act like just some girl he just met. I kills me.

Next is Day's side from when they meet again and what happens when they go to Tess's. I do have a plan for chapter three and four so far. It's exciting, strange, and crazy twists and turns happen.
