A/N- I started this story 2 month ago and it seems that it's just now when I have time to finish it.

- All the mistakes are mine. The story isn't betad. Sorry...

- I changed a bit -OK, maybe a little more- the characters. Just not to be surprised!

- It started to be a romance...but who knows how it'll end up.

- Character death...um...still not sure...I suggest to find out.

I nearly forgot again: The characters don't belong to me ...

AND: Thanks for the people (specially for Kelsey and heart of flame) who encouraged me to continue!!!

Chapter 1 - I love you so much

The phone rang in Miss Parker's home. She answered it.

"Hallo..." There was no reply.

"Hallo. Who's there?" She repeated.

"It's me, again." He said sitting in a car. It was late at night and it was raining cats and dogs. He watched the raindrops flowing down the windscreen.

"Jarod, I've told you so many times to leave me alone!" She sounded angry. She didn't often show her real emotions but this time she was really angry.

"You're lieing to yourself." He said in a voice that made her think he was sure what he'd said.

"That's my problem, not yours." She sounded rude but he'd already got used to it during the previous years.

"But you know my feelings?!" He started to lose his temper.

"That's the main cause, Jarod. We can't be together. You know what I have to do. I would hurt you." She tried to be rational and convincing but she wasn't really good at it.

"We could escape together." His plan was as simple as he said. He didn't care how or when just to be together with her.

"I couldn't." She doubted if she could have strength to do it.

"Why?"

"Here's my family." He knew it was a lie again. So did she. But she couldn't just simply tell him:'I'm too afraid to leave.'

"Who would you miss?" This question hurt her. He knew at the moment he'd said it. He regretted to be such a jerk to harm her. He tried to gain her trust not to frighten her away.

"That's not important. I don't love you." His stomach turned. He earned the answer. He hated the way she said it. He knew it wasn't true but it always made him think over.

"I don't believe you." She knew he was right. She could never lie to him convincing.

"I'll go and visit you. Tell me right into my eyes that you hate me and I'll understand." It was what she was frightened of. She knew she could never resist him. He had a sense of persuasion or maybe just charm... It didn't really matter for her. She knew she was lost.

"No, don't come. I promise you won't get away this time. I'll bring you back where you belong."

"What if I don't want to get away from you. Don't you understand? I can't live without you." he was nearly crying. So was she. "I love you so much. My life has no meaning without you."

"You're crazy. The whole running away drove you crazy."

"You're driving me crazy! You can't see?"

"Stop it and don't phone me again."

"See you later..." she hung up.

He got out of his car which was parked just the next corner of her house. It was still pouring. He had no jacket nor umbrella. His clothes became wet by the time he had reached her house. He saw that the light was still on.

The phone rang again in her home. She didn't want to answer it but it seemed not to stop ringing.

"I told you so many times not to phone me again!" She said in an angry voice.

"Hello, Sys. Have you grown telepathic abilities? I've always known we don't get on well with eachother but I never thought we had so bad relationship."

"Oh, Lyle. Sorry. A man disturbs me on the phone for a while. I'm just really fed up with it."

"Don't worry, I've already got used to it that you hate me."

"What do you want? I'm really tired."

"I just phoned to check on you wheather you're at home or not. I have to deliver a letter to you. I wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but it's maybe urgent."

"That's not necessary. You'll give it to me tomorrow."

"No, Dad insists on. See you in ten minutes. Bye."

'Everybody went mad.' she thought. She wished they would have left her alone.

Somebody knocked on the door. She thought to herself that Lyle was really quick. It must have been important. "Just a minute" She shouted and went to open the door. She was shocked to see Jarod there. He was soaked to the skin.

"Hello." He said shyly. He looked at her than stared on the floor.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were just kidding." He remained in silence.
