Prologue~
They had been best friends since.... well, since… He couldn't remember. In fact he couldn't remember a lot of things these days. He's been so busy with school, working two jobs. One after school and one at night. Juggling his schedule around, it was like they didn't have time for each other any more. She keeps his head together. Needing to see each other at least once a day he sneaks out and waits in her backyard till she climbs out of her window. They're in love. He holds back. He's afraid he's going to change unexpectedly, hurt her maybe, he has to leave. He'd always protected her. He was her best friend. Or was there more to the story? But then there was him. She'd always thrown herself at the stupid boy even though he never gave her the time of day. It angered her best friend. That stupid boy, he didn't deserve her. Once that stupid boy left her standing alone in the rain. That was when they first met. She stood there in the rain tears falling down her cheeks as he walked away. She begged him-that stupid boy-to stay. Then he came along. He had known her before but not well enough to know what was going on. Her crying eyes were lifeless as he looked into them asking what was wrong. They were both drenched. She lifted her left hand and placed it on his chest, Feeling his heart beat. He placed his hand over the hand that was placed on his chest. They stood their like that for awhile, in the silence. Removing his hand from hers, she let hers drop. Looking at the floor embarrassed. His eyes softened and his voice gentle. Asking her if she'd tell him what was wrong. She felt stupid and shook her head. "I'm fine" she says. He took her face in his hands making her look at him. Her face turns a tint of pink. Their faces were so... close.How could she have this feeling? With this person, stranger, she barely even knew. He took her home, his sister and mother delighted with joy to meet a friend of… his. Especially a girl. She spent the night and he took care of her. Since then he felt like he had some sense of duty to her, to protect her. Now he could remember. They had been best friends and in love since that day. She knew everything about him. He had enough of her to break her heart but he wouldn't dare. Never.
