Sorry for not updating; I am really horrible at it now with more stories on the go. By the way, I'm only allowed on the computer on weekends at the moment so don't find yourself too comfortable in my updates.

When we arrived at the country club, Damen smiled at me. I never thought of Brandon again. The floor was marble and there were pretty chandeliers hung everywhere.

I ordered the seafood linguini and Damen ordered the steak and potato.

"I used to be a model when I lived in New York." He says. It completely explained his diet because he ate only a quarter of his steak and another quarter of his potato.

"Ah," I say.

After we finished, we walked down by the ocean and I went to his house. It was smaller and there were two bedrooms. There wasn't much stuff there but there was a huge collection of foreign movies and a beautiful plasma screen TV.

"So, besides Portland and New York, where have you lived?" I ask, wanting to know all I could about this emancipated seventeen-year-old.

"Hmm, I was born in Italy," I noticed a beautiful hint of an Italian accent thee now that he mentioned it. "Then I moved to France and I moved to Egypt and then to New York." He said.

"Wow, I only ever lived in Laguna Beach for a year for ocean studies during the weekends." I said.

"Ha…I always move." He chuckled and took a sip of his drink.

"Could I have a sip?" I eye the bottle.

"Do you want to know something, first?" he asked. I nod.

"When you crashed, I'm the one who saved you and your family." He said very seriously.

"I wondered why you're eyes were so familiar." I state. "Wait, how did you know about the crash?" I ask."

"Because I did," he replied. "Do you believe in immortality?" He asked.

"No!" I laughed. "Well, it's very possible."

"That's how you lived, I made you immortal." He states. "I can read other's minds and see their auras, too. But you don't have an aura."

"I want to leave; NOW!" I said. "I never, ever want to see you again! Not unless I actually need you!" I shout. He winced and his eyes filled with hurt.

"As you wish," he sighed and left me to my car. He never returned to school since.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Brandon sneered.

"I don't have one." I state and he looks sad for me.

That day, I returned from school and told my parents that I wanted to live with my aunt Sabine.

"Why, Ever?" my mother asked.

"I'm sick of it here in Eugene." I state. "I also think the experience would be good for college." I say and they nod.

"I'll get you your ticket tomorrow." Dad said. "You should call Sabine." I did as told and she was happy for me. This way, I can leave the past behind.

The following Monday, started school, with me being settled in so early. I tried cheerleading out and got in! I also met this awesome girl with long, auburn hair and bright, green eyes. Her name was Drina.

I got to my locker and went to class. Drina sat beside me and we talked until the teacher came in.

"I just love your hair, Ever! I wish it was mine." She said.

"Thanks," I said and noticed the girl named Stacia Miller scowling at us.

The day rolled by quickly and I never thought of anybody except for my family, from my old town.

Sorry for the chapter being so short, I'm stumped and If you have any ideas, or want to beta my story, PM or review me!

Thanks for Reading,
