We pulled into the house I was going to live at for as long as I had to. While I was stepping out of the car a big, ice cold gust of wind hit me. Shivering, I walked quickly to the door and tried to swing it open to get inside to the warmth.

"It's locked." Zach said from behind me. He stepped in front of me and unlocked the door.

I rushed through the door only to figure out I was rushing in for nothing. It was as cold in here as it was outside. Doesn't he know there's such thing as a heater? I mean, I don't even know my last name but I know what a heater is.

"What do use to keep warm?" I asked.

Zach pointed to the fire place. I guess he figured I was cold. because within a few minutes a fire was started. The warmth it admitted made me feel like I was in heaven. I stood there until my legs began to get tired. I admired the flames and how they were filled with colors ranging from blue to yellow.

I started to smell turkey coming from the kitchen. Following the aroma, I made my way to the kitchen and saw Zach with cooking mittens on pulling a small turkey out of the oven.

"Smells good." I told him.

He must've not noticed me, because he jumped. "Thanks. It's your favorite."

"That's kind of creepy that you know that."

Getting out a knife to cut the turkey, he said, "I don't think so. I've known you for five years." Zach gave me a quick smile.

It's still creepy but I decided not to say anything else. Searching the cabinets, I got out two plates and two forks and set them up at the table.

Within five minutes our dinner was set up and my stomach was growling. The turkey tasted delicious with mashed potatoes on the side.

Zach poured me a glass of milk before he sat down. I finally had a chance to really look at Zach while we were eating. He had gorgeous green eyes with brown hair that stopped right above his eyebrows. He looked like a guy who would never wear name brands. His lips were big and luscious. I wonder what it'd be like to kiss him. As soon as I thought that I choked on my food. What's wrong with me? I don't even know this person and I'm thinking about kissing him?

"Are you okay?" Zach asked once he swallowed his food.

"Yeah, just forgot how to swallow for a second." I told him.

Smiling, he said, "Your forgetting a lot lately, Aren't you?"

"It's not my fault." I took a sip of milk then looked Zach straight in the eye. "Is now the right time to tell me about 'up there'?"

Zach's expression instantly fell. I wish I knew what was making him so touchy about this topic. I need to know about my life before today and why I was abandoned. Maybe I was a evil person and killed people so he didn't want to upset me… Whatever it is, I'm strong enough to hear it.

"I don't think your ready, Cammie." Zach stood up with his plate of food. "Set your plate in the sink when your done."

"Zach!" I yelled at him. "Please tell me." Trying to make my face look sweet and sad, I saw him shake his head and walk away.

I ate the rest of my turkey as quickly as I could, moved my plate to the sink, and went on a search for Zach. I didn't call for him.

The house was a cute little thing; One bathroom, two bedrooms, a living room, and kitchen. Some parts of the wallpaper were pealing on the edges. It seemed pretty old fashioned. There were no outlets what so ever. I was amazed that he even had running water.

The door to Zach's room was ajar. Slowly, I peered in to find him hunched over a piece of paper, reading what was on the other side.

"What's that?" I whispered.

In a snap the paper was stuffed in the top drawer of the wooden dresser next to his bed. "Nothing." His face was blank, a emotionless void.

Tension was thick in the air while I was asking, "Are you sure? Can I read it?"

"Are you that nosy? Its just a letter from my mom I got in the mail today. Do you really need to monitor what my mom's telling me?" He snapped at me.

I guess I kind of deserved it but it made me feel bad to hear him snap at me. "No. I'm going to take my shower." I said while turning away from the room and heading for the bathroom. I couldn't help but think about the note Zach had been reading. If it was really from his mom would he have stuffed it in a drawer that fast? Maybe his mom is really embarrassing or she sent him something personal. Or maybe it wasn't even from his mom and he lied to me. Maybe it was from… I don't know.

I stepped out of my warm shower into the freezing air and automatically started shivering. After a few minutes I was wrapped warmly in my blankets, wearing my pajama's I found in my closet. I could distinctly hear Zach's breathing. He was in the room next to mine. I hope I don't snore. But hearing Zach's steady breathing made me think of the note…

"Maybe if I'm quiet…" I whispered to myself as I stood up.

As silent as I could be, I crawled on the floor up to his dresser. The sound of Zach's breathing changed and he turned towards me. I froze and felt my heart trying to beat out of my chest. Please don't wake up, I silently begged. Eventually, Zach's breathing became steady again and I began to pull the drawer open. It squeaked, making me wince. My hand fell into the drawer, grabbing the first thing it felt. I just hoped it was the note.

I snuck back to my room and flipped the lights on. I turned over the paper. It was the note.

Dear Zach,

I know I've done bad but I'll find you again even if the judge decides to erase my memory. Don't forfeit your level for me. If you do I'll kill you. I will come for you. I'm sorry I wasn't able to speak to you before the final word of my fate. I'm not going to be able to write you a long note, although I would like to, but my judging's in ten minutes. I just want to let you know that I love you and they can never erase you from my memory.

Yours truly, Cammie
