Loopy Loo, I'm not 100 sure yet if you give a signed review I could tell u more but I dont cantput it here partly not to ruin it and partlly bacause im not allowed (Like i always stick to rules... :P). Anyway thats encough rubbish from me, hope you all like the chapter.

Flash back

An 12 year old Katie slowly swung her bag into the back of the car closing the door on it. She turned to the boy watching her from outside his house and walked towards him. Tears welled up in her eyes and she flung her arms around him blinking them back. "I'm gonna miss you so much" He awkwardly put his arms around her waist before pulling her closer, returning the hug.
"I know, I'll miss you too" she pulled away from him and looked at him.
"And you PROMISE you'll write?"
"Yes" he replied for what seemed like the one hundredth time.
"Andrew?" she said quietly after a pause, he looked at her. "Even if we don't keep in touch-"
"Which we will.
"Yeah..."a single tear escaped her eyes and rolled down her cheek. "nothing will change will it? Like when I come back to see my dad, it'll all be the same?" Andrew paused.
"Ye'. Ye,course it will"
"Promise?"
"Promise" Katie nodded.
"Good. Friends forever ye?" she said as more tears fell before she could wipe them away
"Forever" she hugged him one last time and he kissed her cheek "Take care Katie" he whispered. Katie stepped back and after one last look and a weak but genuine smile she turned and got into the passenger door of the waiting car. The car started and drove off leaving Andrew stood on his own staring as the back of the car drove out of Wisteria Lane.

Andrew's POV

As she left she shut the door behind her and left me feeling a little bit confused. I don't really know why but for some reason something had stopped me telling her the full truth. Like I hadn't exactly lied when I said dad had died of a heart attack, I just left out the fact that it was caused by moms psycho pharmacist boyfriend messing around with his heart medication.

Maybe it was because I didn't want to dump my life on her when she so obviously had issues of her own. I could convince myself that that was the reason if I wanted to but deep down I know its not. Deep down I know it's because I don't want her to see how totally fucked up my life reallyis. I want to remain, in her mind, as the 11 year old boy who helped her through her parent's divorce and the 12 year old boy she made promise her that nothing would change when she moved. But although I really hate to admit it I also know that I'm scared. Scared that if she does see how crazy and messed up my life is I'll loose her. I've only seen her twice in the last5 years and really I don't know her at all. Just then my mobile vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out, ONE NEW MESSAGE flashed onto the screen. I pressed read, HEY ANDREW WANNA GO 2 MALL OR SUMWHERE…? J
I grinned and pressed reply, deep soul searching thoughts pushed far to the back of my mind.

Kate's POV

I got back to Dad's and let myself in with the key he'd given me. It wouldtake a while for me to really call this house home. I wonder who lives in our old house on Wisteria Lane now; I'll have to ask Andrew. So much must have changed yet on the surface it all seems the same. I went upstairs to my new bedroom and turned on my laptop. My best mate from England, Cheryl was online:

Chez Rockin gig on fri!: Hiya how u bin?

K8 Missin u all soo much:Not bad. It's weird being back after so long though u no?

Chez Rockin gig on fri!: Ye? Well maybe it was just shock at seeing you again?

K8 Missin u all soo much:Ye maybe. I dunno, his dad died from a heart attack maybe that was it, hearing about mom.

Chez Rockin gig on fri!: Omg when?

K8 Missin u all soo much:Yea. I just feel he was hiding something from me.

Chez Rockin gig on fri!: Like what?

K8 Missin u all soo much:Dunno something was up between him and his mom, I asked him about it but he kinda closed up.

Chez Rockin gig on fri!: He'll probably tell you when he's ready.

K8 Missin u all soo much:Orite. Its bin gr8 to chat to you. Give my love to nick?

Chez Rockin gig on fri!: Will do cya xxx

K8 Missin u all soo much:Bye xxx

I logged off and turned my laptop off, Cheryl was right; Andrew probably would tell me when he was ready. The only thing that bothered me was that he wasn't ready yet. We used to tell each other everything, what had changed?

Dad knocked on my door. 'Hi Kate'
'Hey Dad'
'I've done my work now if you want to go to the mall to get a phone?' I jumped up from my bed.
'Yea!' Although my old mobile from the UK worked over here it cost a fortune and Dad promised one of the first things we'd do was get me a new one.

We parked the car outside the mall. A proper mall! I hadn't been to one of these in ages. We went in and I picked out a mobile, along with some clothes from shops we just HAD to go in! Then we went to the food court for some food. I picked out a jacket potato and joined my dad at a table. Just as I sat down I saw a face I recognised. It was Andrews's friend, Justin, the one Bree had sent out of the house. I realized the guy sitting opposite him was Andrew. I must have been staring or something because Justin said something to Andrew and he turned around before smiling. I smiled back at him.

'Who are you smiling at?' asked Dad
'Andrew Van de Kamp? Doyou remember him? I went to see him earlier, he's just over there' Dad turned around before turning back to me.
'Why don't you invite him and his friend over?' I thought for a second. It would be a good opportunity to make a new friend, Justin looked okay.
'Are you sure?' I asked, Dad nodded so I looked over to where they were sitting and waved them over.

A/N OK thats chapter three up what do you think? I spent most of sunday writing it, not revising for my exams.. oops! Lol oh well, a bit of Andrew's POV in there though too. Please review and tell me how it was, update after 5 more reviews. Thats all for now xxx
