FINALLY AN UPDATE! (:

Last on The Lone Bird Freak-

I ran and jumped in, causing a wave too splash Devin in the back. He turned around to see me swimming towards him.

"I guess a swim wouldn't be too bad." I said with a grin when was a meter away from him.

A smile grew on his face. He was silent.

I splashed his face, "Why so quiet?" I said with a laugh, his face was dripping and shocked.

His smile reappeared, and I was splashed back, "You're so on." he said, and swam towards me.

Chapter Four
This Love … The Veronicas

What's the one thing in the world that could calm you from whatever your doing? No, not yoga, the stars. Wow, I sound like a Hallmark card.

Yeah, if your think I'm insane, I'm not going to argue along with you on that one. I just spent the last hour swimming and laughing and fooling around in a lake. Like a normal kid. Then I remembered I was having fun with a guy who kissed me, tried to kill me, and forced me to swim with him. Okay, maybe not force, but it just explains what the hell I was doing.

"What are you thinking?" Devin asked. I looked at him, he really was cute, his brown chiseled hair grazing his forehead, he keeps trying to move his bangs out of his eyes, but they keep moving back.

I smiled, "Nothing." Whoa – what is wrong with me? No sarcastic comeback? No smirk? No fight? God, hot guys have a major affect on me. Or maybe it was because he was the only guy to pay attention to me, and be my friend. God I'm like a walking, talking soap opera.

Once I spent time with Devin, he really was a sweet guy, and he told me that his brother was a tough guy and that's why he acts mean – but that's all it is, an act.

We were lying on our backs on a rock next to the lake, staring at the stars.

Devin smiled, "So Max, tell me about you."

Crap. Nice way to ruin the moment. "Umm, I live by myself, moving a lot, I never met my parents, fourteen, 5'7, and … I like birds." Ha! That was good.

Devin raised his eyebrows "Birds? That's not common? Normally you hear cats or dogs or horses, but birds that cool."

I laughed, "Yeah, birds, not that common you could say." That was an understatement.

I heard something behind me. I turned around and saw something move in the bushes. And then giggling.

Giggling?

It wasn't common for Erasers to giggle. But you never know, I always thought they were gay.

Devin sighed and sat up "What do you want?" he said towards to bushes.

So he was a bush talker, I see, make a mental to stay away from bush talkers.

Three girls came walking out from behind the bushes. Oh, so he wasn't a bush talker, he was a girl talker. Makes sense, because I'm a girl and he spoke to me…

The girl in the middle of the group spoke up, "Hey Devin cutey. Why are you hanging out here? I thought you were coming to my party." The girl had that annoying high pitched nasally voice.

"No, I said I wouldn't be able to make it, Stacey." So the nasal girl was Stacey.

Her eyes flickered over to me, and she stuck her nose in the air. Holy shit! Her nostrils were huge! Wasn't expecting to see China so soon.

Her little groupies were following after her, "But Devin…" she trailed his name out it was amazing she had that much air, well if you saw her nostrils it would make sense …

"God, Stacey stop acting like a five year old." Devin stood up and offered me a hand to help me up. I took it.

My clothes were dry now, and I felt my hair to make sure I wasn't sticking out in a billion places. Wow – it was actually in a flow of waves. Finally, I win that battle.

We walked over to their little group but stopped five meters away.

Stacey grinned and skipped over to Devin and threw her slimy arms around him, and kissed his cheek. "I knew you would come back." She whispered, but I heard because we were standing so close.

Devin pushed her away and looked disgusted, "God, I told you a billion times before, were not getting back together, it's been two years." Haha, that fag.

She pouted, "But babe, we were right for each other."

Devin took my hand and pulled me away from the lake. We started walking away from Nostril girl.

She called after us, but we didn't stop.

I was really starting to like this kid.

FPOV

Who was she? I swear I saw wings when we passed by her. We were somewhere in Virginia, relaxing in a unoccupied cabin. I was on the couch, lying down, while everyone else was looking for food.

I couldn't keep my mind off of the water girl. I have to find her.

MPOV

"Ow! Brain freeze!" I cried.

Devin just laughed at me. We were eating chocolate ice-cream at a nearby ice-cream parlor.

"Okay, well I'm fifteen, live here in Virginia with my mom, dad died when I was three. Brother, and sister, both in University, and my mom makes mean lasagna."

A laugh escaped my mouth. How could I laugh, how could I be having a good time? Wasn't he a creep earlier? But he was really nice, and I did give him a scar…

He smiled at me, "Max, where are you staying now? Your aunts?"

Umm… what do I say? A random cave? "Um… I haven't decided."

Confused looks passed along his face, "So right now your living on the streets?"

I sifted in my seat, "No, I'm not living on the streets."

He shook his head, "I hope not."

We finished up our ice-cream and walked along the sidewalk. "Where shall I walk you back too?" he asked.

I turned to him, "I'm actually leaving tonight."

He stopped in his tracks, "Please, tell me your not serious."

I adverted my eyes, "Sorry."

He put his hand in mine, "Please, Max, you're the only person I've actually ever felt normal around. Please don't leave yet." His pleading eyes reminded me of a dogs eyes, curse my ability to give in to puppies.

I sighed, "Okay, I won't leave. Yet."

He pulled me into a hug. Crap, what was I getting myself into?
