CHAPTER 4-

"Woah." Is all I say when I see Joe, Nick, Kevin, and little Frankie (who isn't so little anymore) standing in front of me in their bathing suits.

"Uhh, hi." Joe says with a confused look on his face, like he was trying to figure out who I was. OMG!, what if they don't remember me? I mean I know I don't look like I did three years ago. I mean, my short brown hair that had blonde, red, and hazel highlights in it was now dyed black, with some natural blonde looking highlights in it. It was also really long, seeing it went all the way down to the middle of my back.

"Hello." I say putting on a smile, which I hoped looked convincing.

"Hi, I'm Joe, this is Frankie, Nick, and Kevin." He says pointing to each one as he says their names.

"Ahh, cool." I say not wanting to tell them my name.

They all look at me waiting for me to say something else, so I look around and then spot the water football. I swim over and pick it up, and then throw it to Nick saying

"You guys want to toss this around?"

They look at each other for a while then Frankie says

"YES!"

We all threw the ball around and just had fun, I almost forgot that I never wanted to see them again. That was until Kevin asked me a question I really didn't want to answer.

"I'm sorry, but you look vaguely familiar. Have we met before?"

"Uhh, no. I don't think we have." I say looking away from his glaze.

"Are you sure?" he asked trying to get me to look at him.

"Yeah, I'm sorry but I should get out now. It was…nice…meeting you guys. Hope to see you around again." I said choking on the word nice, and lying about the last part.

I get out of the pool and walk over to get my towel in my hiding spot I put it in earlier. I dry myself off quickly then go inside to my room to get changed. I take off my wet clothes and put on a neon green T-shirt that says "Take a pizza my heart." With a little pizza girl on it, then I put some of my designer jeans on. I put my mothers necklace on and then get my black sport jacket and put that on. I walk downstairs noticing that I'm a little bit hungry.

I walk into the kitchen to see that it is the only room in the house, besides our bedrooms, that was deserted, except for one person. I stop in the doorway as the boy at the counter turns around. Its Kevin Jonas, of course…just MY luck. I nod my head and then go to the pantry and get a bag of chips, my favorite kind…Cheddar and Sour Cream. I get a bowl out and put as much chips as I can into the bowl. I don't care if I eat a lot, it doesn't hurt my figure, since I work out everyday and run every morning.

I bring it to the other side of the counter and start eating. I look up after a while to see that Kevin's big brown eyes were looking at me with bewilderment.

"Do you always eat that much?" he asks.

"That's a rude thing to ask, and yes I do." I say giving him an attitude, thinking of everything he put me through, and getting angry with him.

"Sorry, its just I've never seen a GIRL eat that much before…all the girls I know eat very little." He says looking embarrassed.

"Yeah, well don't get used to it. Girls around here eat basically nothing, only grapefruit, and crackers." I say to him still angry at him.

"Oh…did I do something...or say something to you…that made you upset at me?" he asked me, actually looking concerned.

"Ye-no."I say catching myself from revealing who I am.

"Okay." He says letting out a deep breath almost as if he was relieved

I finish my chips and put the bowl in the sink, and start to walk out of the kitchen, when I feel warm hands on my arms. The feeling of his touch brought a spark to my whole body. Half of me want to turn around, tell him who I was, and kiss him so passionately, but the other half reminded what he made you go through, with no phone calls, no letters, no e-mails, nothing when I left, and that made me get angry again.

"What?" I say with an attitude as I turn around to face him.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask you what your name was." He says letting go of my arms.

I longed for him to grab my arms again, but instead I simply said

"My name is Chrystal."

And walk away.

I went up to my room hoping he wouldn't follow me, which surprisingly he didn't, or at least I don't think he did, since I couldn't really see him through all the people that were here. I got to my room and closed the door, I sat down on the floor and reached under my bed. I brought out a box, took off the lid, and picked up pictures. Pictures of my mother that were from a long time ago. I started to cry and asked her

"What should I do, mother? I can't tell you how much I missed him, I can't tell you how much I love being around him, I can't tell you how or what I feel exactly but I can tell you that I think, I still love him."

OKAY, SO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. DOES HE REALIZE ITS HER? OR IS HE COMPLETLY OBLIVIOUS? DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD GO BACK WITH HIM? WHEAT ABOUT HER DAD? DOES HE STILL ABUSE HER AND THE SIBLINGS? HOW IS BILLY GOING TO REACT TO ALL OF THIS? R&R PLEASE!
