AN: This is probably gonna be a three shot I think at the end of the book just to tie up the loose end, I was left wanting a better ending and I'm sure others want it too.

I tried not to stare at her while she stared out at her lawn. I limited myself to check on her once every half-hour and every time I looked she was still at her window staring at the tree I just planted one time she caught me looking I raised a hand to wave and thankfully she waved back. I tried sending her psychic messages
Come outside Juli I need to talk to you!
I just realized how special you are, come outside so I can tell you
Darn it Juli just come outside!
But she didn't move, my grandfather walked by me as I sat near the window and quietly said "give her time boy... you can't push"
My mother would just smile and say things like, "You scared her... she's just figuring things out"
My sister would snarl "Just go talk to her you wuss".
And still I waited glancing out the window to make sure I wouldn't loose my chance. I forced myself to go get my novel for English out of my school bag I dashed to my room quickly grabbed it and ran back to the easy chair by the window. I pushed it back sat down and opened the book, glancing out the window into the darkness one last time before bed; I was finally ready to give up for the day.
I rubbed my eyes, sure it was a trick, I was over tired and imagining it. I jumped out of the chair and ducked below the window peaking up, there she was, when I went to get my book she must have thought I gave up, Juli was outside circling the tree I planted her arms crossed over her chest eyes narrowed as she examined it.
Before I could stop myself I walked to the coat rack and grabbed my jacket my grandfather nodded at me as I quietly slipped out the door. I took a deep breath and closed the door as silently as possible my goal was not to make any noise so Juli wouldn't have time to run away.
She was wearing an old pair of jeans and what looked like her father's old plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Her hung loose just like that picture from the news paper, at her feet I noticed for the first time were shovels that made me smirk.
Typical Juli always trying to fix my mistakes.
As if in answer to that Juli got on her knees and started moving the dirt around the tree
I walked over to her and got on my knees, she was so involved in the tree she didn't notice me until I slid my hand over hers, she jumped and looked up at me my hurt flipped as I stared into her beautiful eyes wide with shock. I smiled and asked,
"What I do wrong now Baker?"
