It may be confusing at first but it'll make sense I promise..

Chapter 3

The water was beautiful. It shined like crystals against the sun. Smooth as glass. I was almost afraid to put my foot in for fear of disrupting the serenity of the water. I could feel the warmth of the sun on me. Encasing me in it's gentle hug. This is where I belonged. This is where I wanted to stay. Forever.

I kicked of my sandals and squished my toes in the sand. I had no idea where I was or how I had gotten there but I was sure glad to be here. I knew I wasn't alone. So it wasn't a surprise when I saw a shadow caste in front of me. I just wasn't expecting who it was.

"Hello Grace."

I knew immediately who it was. The slight accent and melodic voice was a dead give away. I looked back and there he was in all his God-like glory. Nahuel Cullen. His beauty was unnatural and in the sunlight he seemed even more amazing. His skin gave of a shine similar to that of the water, with maybe a little less intensity. He was forbidden fruit and I wanted to taste him. At that particular moment I knew why Eve had damned all of women for eternity.

"Hello…" I said sitting down my feet still in the water.

"May I sit with you?" He took a step forward and I held my breath afraid that I would scare him away. I nodded and looked out into the open water.

We sat there for what seemed like an eternity. But it was amazing. Dreams couldn't even compare to this. This is what dreams were made of. And even though I thought it couldn't get better I felt his hand touch mine. It was so warm, almost hot. I looked at him and he smiled. I felt my heart race. My pulse quickening and as if it bothered him he squirmed a bit, slightly leaning a way from me but keeping his eyes on me and smiling just the same. I looked away again to embarrassed by my thoughts to look at him for fear that if I did he would be able to read them.

"Grace?" His voice sang to me. I responded with a look at him through my hair as I let it fall over my shoulder. I felt like a school girl talking to a boy for the first time.

"Why won't you talk to me?" he asked shifting his body so that it faced me but still kept a slight distance.

His question caught me off guard. Why would he want me to talk to him? Didn't he realize that he was so much more than me. So much more than I would ever be. This I knew in my heart. That he was going to change the world, that his destiny was so much greater than what my mind could wrap around.

"Why would you want me to talk to you?" I was afraid my question came out sounding wrong, but he simply laughed and leaned close to touch my hair.

"Your so silly. Why wouldn't I want you to talk to me?" he let his hand trail from my hair to my shoulder and for some reason it hurt. I winced and he recoiled and I swore I could see in his eyes pain. As if my pain was his.

"What would you like me to say?" I asked looking away afraid he'd know I noticed. He laughed again and I felt a wave of electricity shoot through my body causing me to shiver. Which only seemed to make him laugh more.

"Whatever you want to talk about. I could ask you questions if that would be easier." I looked at him and I'm sure that the confusion and shock was plain on my face as the sun was in the sky.

"Or you could ask me questions if that is easier for you. I hope I'm not being rude or to forward. I just, I want to get to know you. You fascinate me." It was my turn to laugh though it was more to myself than out loud. Despite my shyness I let down my guard and tried speaking to him.

" I fascinate you? You have got to be kidding me right?" I looked at him again and he was smiling again as if I was amusing him.

"What's so funny?" I asked him slightly irritated. As much as his smile made me want to turn into mush it irritated me cause I wasn't sure what the meaning behind it was.

"You. The fact that you can sit there day after day and be able to watch people. I mean how can you do it? That takes a lot of patience and you seem completely content with it. I'm some what of a observer myself but I hide it. You, you don't care who knows. Your so open and free and you just don't care. Yet here you sit hiding. Hiding from me. Why me and no one else? What makes me so special that I would be the one person you hide from when you scream at the world that you don't care who see's you." His smile was gone and it was replaced with an intensity that I wasn't prepared for.

He was right. I was hiding. Like I had something to be ashamed of. Like the way I felt for Nahuel was wrong. I had been kidding myself. This was more than a crush and I think we both knew it. But I still couldn't wrap my head around why he would care. Why this beautiful being could give a damn about the feelings of someone like me wasn't a concept easily grasped. I knew I loved him I had known I loved him from the first time I saw him. He was everything I wasn't and wanted. I could see his future, his fate, his destiny and it exceeded mine. I was meant for something to help the world but Nahuel, he was meant for the world. A gift. As to where I was a tool.

"I hide because you don't need to be bothered by me. Nahuel if the life was a giant play I would just be a stage hand." I said trying to give him the same intensity he was giving me.

"What would I be?"

"The star of course." I felt tears building up but I pushed them down biting the inside of my mouth. I knew that this was a dream. Because I had just realized that I would never be able to be with him. That I was forever to stand backstage as I watched him perform. He reached out again and stroked my hair.

"You really are silly. I hadn't expected you to amuse me this much but I'm happy that you have." he stood up and I must have looked like I was about to loose my favorite puppy because he laughed.

"You see? You simply are to cute." He started to walk off and I let the tears fall silently for I was sure that that would be the first and last time I ever talked to him.

"Grace?" I looked back at him and he had stopped a few feet away.

"Call me Gracie." I corrected him. I hated it when people called me Grace. It made me feel like I had to live up to my name and I had absolutely no grace whatsoever. I was a walking contradiction.

"Gracie. I like that. Well, could you do me a favor? Even though I'm one to talk, but could you stop hiding? Let me see you for who you are. I fear I'll go mad if you don't." He said looking into the sun. I was confused by his question but I nodded anyways and was rewarded with his dazzling smile.

"Thank you." He turned and walked away. I looked back into the open water and breathed as steadily as I could not sure how to process anything that had just happened. I could have been their a lifetime before I

finally heard it.

A soft beeping noise in the distance. And as if the earth was mad at me for realizing it, the sand underneath me began to sink. The pain in my shoulder that I felt earlier hit me out of nowhere and I cried out only to hear silence and the beeping. I could taste copper and salt in my mouth and I opened itto vomit but sand found it's way in. I was being swallowed. The beeping grew louder with every inch I got pulled under. I shut my eyes tightly preparing myself for the worst when all of a sudden the beeping became a distant sound and all I could hear was tires against pavement.

My eyes were open just enough to see that I was in an ambulance and I was strapped to a stretcher. I felt a concentration of heat against my arm and saw that Nahuel was sitting next to me silently watching the E.M.T work his magic his hand resting against my forearm. I tried closing my eyes before he could notice that I was awake, but I was to late.

"She's coming to."
