WHAM! The soccer ball launched to my friend, Esther's, open feet. In the distance I heard a door open then close.

"Taylor?" The voice I knew too well questioned. My only thoughts we to run, 'RUN! This is the guy who didn't care...' I dunked under the soaring ball and sprinted away from him. I ruined my life because of him last year and now I built up this wall from anyone hurting me.

I was jerked backwards to find him, Jason, standing there chest heaving. "Why did you run?"

"I cant get hurt again" I just wanted to get away from him but the rain came down hard blurring my vision even more.

"Please just hear me out; all I want to do is talk." He said, water sliding down his face. "Please"

My mind was wheeling thinking if I should trust him and let him back into my life. "Okay" I said numbly.

We ran back to his house in the poring rain. I was shaking not only from the rain but from nervousness and fear of what is going to happen.

"These are the smallest sweats I have and shirts are in the dresser. Um…come get me when you're done so we can talk." He placed Forks football sweats on the bed and walked out.

As I slipped on the clothes, that were huge on me, I took in all the football and baseball trophies on the shelves around the room.

The door creaked open and I spun and saw him standing in the doorway. "Hey," h said softly. "I know you don't want to talk but I need to talk to you big time." His brown eyes pierced into mine. That made me nervous, sat on his bed and pulled my knees to my chest. "Anyways, last year you made me realize that there is a certain person ─you─ out there who likes me for who I am. Tanya was only with me for popularity. And I kind of like you now…"

My voice was quivering, "I'm not perfect like her, and I'm so different. We couldn't ever be together, it wouldn't work." The tears were threatening to come.

"I know I hurt you but please give me a chance?" He moved in to hold my hand.

"How about just friends? I don't know if I can trust you fully yet." My heart was going wild. I wanted more but was terrified.

"Yeah I would like that. Ill take what I can get." He grinned and from that day on we were inseparable.

OoO

It has been 2 years since Emmett and I became best friends and inseparable. But sometimes I think I might want more…
