Me: Hey! Everyone left…

Mysterious Stranger In the Darkness: Except me!

Me: Who are you?

Mysterious Stranger: Two-bit!

Me: Yay! Hi two-bit! Why'd you stay?

Two-bit: I don't know…

Me: Well at least I'm not alone!

Two-bit: Yes!

Me: Two-bit do you want to say something?

Two-bit: Yes I do! She doesn't own us!

Me: I'm saving all my money in my piggy bank to own Two-bit though.

Two-bit: Sweet!

Me: Is there anything else you want to say?

Two-bit: Cathy has dumped me for Steve and I'm not sad!

Me: nice! Lets get on with the story now!

Willows POV

It's been a week since my little breakdown. I haven't really seen Chris, only in the halls at school. He barely acknowledges me though. Today it didn't matter. I was on a hunt with Soda to find Nicole.

We were just walking, joking around when we saw Sandy and Evie. Joy to the world, the witch has come.

"His Soda!" Sandy practically screeched. Then she ran up hugged him.

"Hi Sandy, hi Evie," replied breaking from her death grip.

"Isn't this that weirdo, what's her name? Oak?" Evie asked.

"Willow." I hissed.

"Whatever, do you want to double with me and Steve tonight Soda?"

"Well I got plans…"

"With who this freak?" All I want right now is a bucket of water to throw at Evie.

"She's not a freak and-"

"Of course we'll double with you!" Sandy answered for him.

"Sorry Will, I'll help tomorrow."

"It's fine Soda, I'll get Chris or somebody to help." I said.

"Are you sure?"

"She said it's fine." Evie replied. I just turned on my heel and ran to the Curtis house. I called Two-bit since he wasn't here. Surprisingly he answered.

"Hello?"

"Two-bit! Can you come over to the Curtis'?"

"Yeah sure, I'll be over soon." Three minutes later, he was here.

"Hey Will, what's up?"

"I need help and you're the first person I thought to call."

"Well, I know you need help, but what do you want me to do? Drive you to the clinic?"

"Shut up Keith! Look I'm trying to find Johnny a girlfriend. Soda was going to help, but Sandy and Evie showed up. When Evie comes, you need a bomb shelter."

"Did you just call me Keith?"

"Yeah so will you help?"

"Help what?"

"Help me find Johnny a girlfriend!" I yelled.

"Who?"

"Her name is Nicole Brown."

"Sure I'll help! Lets go!" I got in his car and we went looking for Nicole. I made him drive slowly so we could see people. We were driving for five minutes when we saw her. She was pretty.

"Are you Nicole?" I asked getting out of the car.

"Yeah, why?"

"Hi, I'm Will. I was wondering if you wanted to go out with my friend Johnny."

"Johnny Cade?"

"Yeah."

"Sure why not. When?" She asked with a little enthusiasm in her voice.

"Uh…I don't know yet."

"Well just get back to me."

"O.K." Two-bit drove me back to the Curtis' house. He turned on Mickey Mouse. What is with that mouse? I walked out and ran into Chris.

"Oh, hey Willow." He said.

"Since when do you call me by my full name?"

"Times change." He replied with an attitude.

"It's not the times, its you."

"Maybe it's you." He spat. I felt hot tears streaming down my face. I turned around and started to run.

"Will! Will stop!" He called running after me. I stopped. "Listen Will."

"No, you listen Chris. I don't know what is wrong with you, but I'm not going to talk to you until you act like yourself. The fun you. The person who doesn't care to be fun and strange when you're with me. Get over yourself, then we'll talk." I cried, then stormed off. I needed to say that. But, I still like him. What is wrong with me?

Chris's POV

Why did I do that? To me, she's perfect. She thought I was fun. She didn't like the 'I don't care' me. She liked how I usually am with her. If she didn't like me, would she cry? What am I doing? I could have any girl on this side of Tulsa. But no, I like my best friend's sister. I've liked her since her 13th birthday. Three years. Three long years with her hating me.

She hasn't hated me since her brother was in jail. Is that the only reason, 'cause I was there? I know what she's going through. She'll never know though. My old man used to hit me too. Then I found the boys. With the boys came a girl. I used to think she an annoying kid, until her 13th birthday.

Flashback

Forrest was planning a birthday for Willow. She started to get beat up about a year ago. Forrest wanted to do something special for her.

"Hey Chris, can we have the party at your house?" Forrest asked me.

"Why not your house?" I retorted.

"'Cause my dad wont let her be happy."

"Fine, whatever." I sighed.

The party started and Willow seemed happy. Forrest gave her this book she always took out of the library. It was about some girl who falls in love with guy who loves her back, but neither have a clue. Forrest told me so I could help look for it.

Just to be nice, I got her some mood necklace. When she saw it, her face lit up.

"Thank you Chris! It's wonderful!" She smiled and gave me a hug. When she realized what was happening, she pulled away and blushed. She was real pretty when she blushed.

"Wow," I whispered to myself.

End Flashback

For three years she hasn't taken that necklace off. Does that mean something?

Willow's POV

The birthday part was the first nice thing Chris did for me. Now he was saving me a lot. But he was so mean to me today. I don't even know what I did wrong. Should I give the necklace back? I don't think I could even if I wanted to. What's wrong with me? I can't get him out of my head. I'm not thinking about him like I did Mark. I was waiting for him to dump me, just so he could see me in pain, to see me cry.

Chris Wouldn't intentionally hurt me though, would he? When I think about Chris, I think about how nice he would be to me. He would never ignore me or hit me. That's what I thought about Mark though, and looks how that turned out. I should talk to Soda about this. Maybe he'll know what to do.

O.K., I don't know if I gave Nicole a last name, but now it's brown. Where did I get that story Chris was talking about from? Please REVIEW!
