Part 2

Starr ran to open the door. How was it even possible that he was here? She just been thinking about him, wanting him here so bad, and now he was. She froze for a minute, not sure what to do.

"Can I come in?" He asked.

"Uh...yes...of course."

He tried. The door was locked.

"Uh...I think it's locked."

"Oh...yeah...right.."Starr said, walking over to unlock it.

"Hey," Cole said as he walked into her room.

"Hi...um...what are you doing here?" Starr asked him.

He looked her for a minute, where could he start. In front of him stood the person who meant the most to him. The love of his life and the reason he was able to fix his life, and she didn't even know it.

"I have some good news," He told her.

"Really? What is it?"

"I just passed my drug test, all on my own. I am clean Starr,"

Starr reached over right away and hugged him. "Oh my gosh...I am sooo proud of you! How did you do it?"

"Oh god...I was in so much pain...but you are the reason I made it through?"

Starr looked at him confused, "But..I didn't do anything. I wish you had told me, I would have been there to help you."

Cole opende up his wallet and pulled out a picture of the two of them. It was wrinkled, looking as though it had been beant every which way.

"When it got so bad...that I just wanted drugs, just a little bit...something to take the pain away, I looked at this. I thought of you. I thought if how I had to do this...so that maybe I could work my way back to you. I love you Starr. I have always loved you."

"Pinch me," Starr said.

He smiled, "I was expecting I love you too."

"Oh my gosh...of course I love you! I love you sooooo much! You have no idea I was just in my room thinking about you. Thinking about everything that had happend, and I just wanted you here so bad. I wanted you to be clean...and to say you still care for me..and now here you are..." Tears filled her eyes, happy tears, this could not be happening.

He brought himself to her, and went and kissed her. She kissed him back, as he put his arms around her. They stood there and continued kissing, not wanting to move. Not wanting to break apart.
