A/N: I edited this chapter so it was more readable. I didn't change the words or anything. It's the same. Hope you like it!

Chapter 2

Moze was at Ned's house playing video games. Ned was glad to see that she finally her mind on other things then that van she thinks is following her. They were sitting on his couch playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Ned's pick of course. They were playing against each other. Ned thought he saw move behind a big boulder so he threw a grenade there, only to his surprise to see that Moze was behind him and shot him.

"Come on! How do you always sneak up on me like that!" Ned said annoyed.

"Because I'm better at this then you." Moze said as she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Well I'm tired of playing this, let's just watch TV."

"Ok." She replied.

While they sat on the couch watching pretty much anything that's on, Ned was worried about Moze, she has been jittery lately. (Ned's POV) I wonder what's wrong with Moze. She's been weird lately. Every time I approach her from behind, she jumps or flinches. She is always spacing out and not paying attention. And then she says a van is following her! She is getting really paranoid. Maybe I should ask her? But maybe she might get uncomfortable. I guess I should ask her something, I am her best friend anyways.

"Hey Moze, can I ask you something?" he asked

"Sure." She replied

"Are you ok? Because you haven't been yourself. You seem stressed too." Ned asked.

"I don't know. You know my dad got later hours? So know I see him a lot less." Moze said as she sighed deeply.

"Oh right. Your dad is the captain at the police station, I almost forgot because I don't see him that much." He said.

Moze then got up and walked over to the living room window. She then pulled the curtain back a little to get a view of the outside. Ned's parents were not home yet from work. Ned then came over to the window next to her.

"What are you looking for?" he asked.

"Nothing." She said instantly.

"Don't tell me you're looking for that van again." Sighed Ned.

"You must think I'm crazy but I'm not! That van is following me! You know what? Forget it. I'm just going to go home." she then went over to the couch and grabbed her backpack.

"Moze I don't think you are crazy, I just think your imagining things because you are stressed out!" he said as he tried to stop Moze from leaving. But Moze still got through him and went out the door.

Ned saw her from his window as she went next door to her house. He then sighed sadly and went upstairs to his room and lay on his bed just thinking. I shouldn't have said that. I should have told her that I believed her. It's just hard to believe that someone is stalking her! But what if she's not crazy and a van is following her? I guess I will go over later and apologize.

Ned and Moze have been best friends forever, and every time they had an argument, Ned would always be the one that apologized, no matter what. Moze has been going out with a guy named Jock Goldman; he moved away about five years ago but then moved back this year. He always had a thing for Moze, the first time he asked Moze out was in 7th grade. He only used her to get his ex-girlfriend jealous. But when he came back, he started apologizing like crazy and asking for another chance. Ned begged and pleaded for her not to go back. He was just going to use her again. But it was also because he secretly liked Moze, but like you always hear about best friends who like each other, if one doesn't like the other, the friendship goes down the toilet. And Ned didn't want to take that risk. Moze eventually said yes to Jock, and told Ned that everyone deserves a second chance. Ned hated him with every ounce he had, he still thought Jock was going to use her again. He never even spends that much time with her! He's always at basketball practice or something! He doesn't deserve her! Cookie and Lisa have been together for about the same time. That's it! I'll call Cookie and see what he thinks. I just feel like I need to talk to somebody about this and I definitely can't talk to Moze right now. Ned got up and went over to his desk and grabbed his cell phone, briefly looking out his window to see into Moze's window. Her blinds were pulled down all the way. About three rings is all it took before Cookie answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Cookie!" Ned said.

"What's up?" Cookie replied.

"I just wanted to know, have you been noticing that Moze is acting weird?" Ned asked.

"I guess, I don't know." He answered.

"Oh right, your too busy with Lisa to notice anything." Ned stated.

"Yep!" Cookie said proudly. Ned then sigh deeply knowing Cookie wasn't going to help him.

"Sorry man, I wish I could help but me and Lisa are going to the movies. I'll call you later Ned." He said,

"Fine, bye Cook."

"Bye." Ned hung up the phone and fell back on his bed again. Well, that didn't help. I guess I'll just take a nap and then I'll go see Moze. Ned then fell asleep quickly, tired from all drama going on.
