Author's note: It took me about 30 minutes to write the previous chapter 3, and I thought I could do better. So, here is the new chapter 3. Again, Ash still hates Craig. The title of my story is a song by Dashboard Confessional. And "Green Eyes" is one of my favorite songs, it's by Coldplay, you all should listen to it sometime, it's beautiful. I hope this is a better chapter 3. Please R&R.

Quinn had no idea what was going on. She awoke the next morning to find Craig by her side. The sun was rising and she didn't have a clue on what she was going to do next. She basically told someone who she didn't know at all her entire life story. Why?

She got up started walking to Craig's. It had to be about 5:00 in the morning. The birds were chirping, and the wind was blowing through her hair. It took about a good 15 minutes to get to his house. There it was, her black Mercedes parked faithfully in the street. She didn't have a clue how she could get into her car without the keys. They were still in his house sitting on the coffee table.

She walked up his steps, figuring that he didn't lock up his house. She opened the door and walked in. She took a look around. She was feeling guilty and worthless. She tucked her hair in while she looked around. There were a few photos of his family and couple of plants around. It was un-kept. She didn't care, she just wanted to get the hell out and get her keys.

She looked on the table. Finally. There they were.

She picked them up and got out.

Just as she got on the sidewalk, there was Craig. Running up

Why does he also come like this? At all the worst times she thought?

"Where are you going?"

"I'm a self loathing loser, Craig, alright? I don't want your pity. None of it. Just leave me alone"

"Quinn what are you talking about?"

"Nothing alright, just let me get into the car"

She walked towards her car and got in. She was getting really frustrated now.

"Craig! I don't know you alright. Just, just let me be!"

"But Quinn! Quinn, come on!" He looked hurt

Why do I always do this? he thought.I think I'm starting to scare her off? Oh why didn't I tell her about Manny when I had the chance? Why?

She got in and drove away. She didn't know where she was going. She looked in the rearview mirror. Craig was standing in the street, looking dazed and confused. The kids at school were talking about some place called "The Dot" so she figured she would try and find it.

She drove around numerous neighborhoods until she found it. It looked to be in an alleyway.

Must be the hangout of choice she thought

Quinn parked her car on the street. She walked out. It was cold for a September day. There were empty coffee cups blowing around all over the place. She rubbed her hands together, not realizing she was still in Craig's flannel.

She walked up to the steps and entered through the door. There was Ellie hanging out with Marco and then Paige and Hazel. They weren't very busy. She walked up to what looked like a bar. She sat on the stool. The cushions were stylish, yet comfortable.

Up came 'Mr. Mason'. Work clothes and everything.

He handed her a menu. "What can I get for you?"

She answered "Chi tea?"

"Sorry we don't have that. Aren't you the chick that's been hanging with Craig all week?"

"Yes. I'm that chick, Mr. Mason"

"Ha, Ha, Ha. By the way, I'm Spinner, you're Quinn right?"

"That I am."

"So, I don't think we have Chi Tea, but we have coffee, and if it's coffee you want, it's coffee I'll get, coming right up."

She twisted a napkin around on her finger. Spinner came back and handed her the coffee

"Thanks"

"No problem at all"

She thought he was really nice, and kind of attractive. Even though his hair was outrageous, he was extremely witty.

"Thanks for the coffee, again, but I have to go"

"Where's my tip?"

God, that was rude

"Here" Change flew all over the place as she ran out the door.

Quinn got into her car. The day was going terrible. It couldn't get any worse. Or at least she thought...

She pulled her car into the driveway of her house. Her father's car, her mother' car, an Alysia's were also sitting peacfully.

She walked in her house. Things were messy, it looked different

She heard chatter coming from the kitchen. Loud chatter. Something was up.

Her mother sounded very sad

"Quinn, we have, something, very, important to tell you, come here"

This was really strange. Both her parents home in the middle of the day. She didn't think of it as anything bad though.

She entered the kitchen. There sat her father, her mother, Marie and Alysia at their kitchen table.

The kitchen was nice. It was painted a light blue, with a pastel border. It had cottage them to it. The border was of calming waves. This was Quinn's favorite looking room besides her own.

There were suitcases packed. Were they going on vacation?

Her mom's cheeks were tear stained. Her father looked distraught. Marie was also quietlycrying.

"Quinn, come and sit down, please."

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Her father said. "Meredith, you should tell her"

"It's not my fucking problem, Gerald, it's yours". Her mom was pissed off royally, something was wrong.

"Fine then, I guess I will. Quinn, I am in love with Alysia. Your mother and I are getting a divorce. I'm so sorry Quinn, I really am, but I just couldn't stand the life I'm living anymore. You can come and see us anytime you want, I have new job, as a salesman, and house in California already bought. I'll pay for you and your sister to come out anytime you want, but I'm leaving tonight Quinn."

Her mom spoke up. "It's for the best of the family, Quinn. Your dad and I, we, just haven't loved each other for a long time okay?"

Quinn was shocked. She didn't know what to say. She finally just burst with anger and started screaming.

"The best of the family? Who are you to say what it is, you're never home, you or dad! You made me take care of Marie all alone when I was ten! Heaven forbid you pay an ounce of attention to us! How could you do this dad! How!"

I need to get away, away from it all. Why are they making my life hell? What am I going to do, where am I going to go. Quinn had so many thoughts running through her head.

She didn't even bother driving her car. She didn't even want to think of her father. They never had a good relationship and she never thought much of the man. Are they going to sell the house? I don't want to move what am I going to do?

Quinn was crying now. She didn't know where to turn.

She had an idea

She walked to the park by Craig's. It looked so peaceful, so different from her house. She didn't want to talk to anyone; she just wanted to clear her head.

There were some woods, on the edge of the park. Something that looked like a nature trail. She decided to talk a walk.

She started the trail, and kept walking. There were broken branches along the path, what seemed to Quinn, a million pine on the side. The pokey branches kept stinging her everytime she brushed up against them. But all of a sudden she hear someone following her

Don't look. It's probably just a squirrel.

The curiosity was killing her. She turned around. No one was there.

She kept on walking. She heard something again. This time, she knew it wasn't a squirrel.

She decided to be bold and speak out. "If anyone is on the trail, please show your face" she tried to sound manly. It didn't work. God, I sounded like a screeching chipmunk she thought to herself.

She started running. She didn't want to have anything happen to her.

I am so stupid. I'm in the woods at 10:00 at night, why the hell did I do this?

She sped up. She didn't realize that there was huge tree log right underneath of her.

Bam.

She tripped over an oak tree log and twisted her ankle

"God damn, fuck this life. Fuck my ankle!"

She heard the leaves rustling. Someone was walking towards her.

She started Crying "If you're going to do something, just do it, so I can die and get it over with..."

She seen the outlined image of the person. It was Craig

"Quinn, it's me, Craig. Just listen okay?"

She sat on the ground, crunching the leaves underneath her, sitting in pain.

He started playing his guitar. She knew this melody. It was the ever so romantic song "Green Eyes" by Cold Play. He started signing.

"Honey, you are a rock, upon which I stand, I hope you understand, The green eyes, yeah the spot light, shines upon you. And how could, anybody, deny you, I came her with a load, And it feels so much lighter now I met you, and honey, you should know, That I could never go on with out you..."

His voice, he has an amazing voice. Oh god, I'm falling faster and faster for him…she thought to herself

He stopped. "You want me to go on?"

Her heart just about melted. "Oh yes. Please?"

He started going on again ""Honey, you are the sea, upon which I float, and I came here to talk, I think you should know, The green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find, and anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind. Because I came here with a load, and it feels lighter since I met you, Honey you should know, That I could never go on without you, Green eyes, green eyes, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Honey you are rock, upon which I stand"

She was speechless. "That was amazing Craig" she started crying. Crying tears of happiness.

He knew what to do; she was sad, mad, angry, and confused. He sat next to her and started hugging her. He didn't have to speak, the song did it for him.

They stayed like that for a while, locked in each other's arms. Not wanting to face the reality of their own lives...
