I hadn't heard from Reid in almost two weeks. I hated it, being away from him killed me. The sky was defiantly reflecting on my mood. It was dark and gloomy. It made me ever more depressed. I was locked up in my house. My mother wasn't letting me leave, she never left. Finally after the provost calling her repeatedly about me missing school she let me go.

"Happy Birthday!" Taylor said running over to me.

"Thank you!" I replied.

"Where have you been?"

"My mom wouldn't let me go to school." She was afraid that I would go back to the Garwin's.

"That sucks. So tonight I'm kidnapping you and taking you to Nicky's." I smiled.

"Okay." we walked off to class.

"Where is that Parker guy?" Taylor asked me at lunch. I froze. Reid and his friends killed him. He was gone for good.

"Umm, I don't know. I think he said he as moving." I lied.

"Oh, too bad. He was cute." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I guess." If you like an evil witch.

"Tonight I am determined to get you on the dance floor at Nicky's"

"There is a dance floor?" I played dumb. She nodded. "You can try." we walked off to our last class.

Once that was done, Taylor and I walked to the front of the school. She stopped.

"So I'll pick you up at seven" She said and I nodded. I continued my walk to the front of the school and Taylor walked to the back. I walked down the main stairs and saw it. There he was casually leaned up against the shiny red corvette. I walked to him.

"Hey." He said. I wrapped my arms around my waist.

"Hi." I replied trying to fight off the urge to just run to him and hug him.

"I missed you." He said probably wondering why I was barely near him. "What's wrong?"

"My mommy told me to never talk to strangers." I said walking closer to him.

"And do you listen to what your mom says?"

"Never." I whispered in his ear. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Do you want a ride?"

"I'd love one." I replied and got into his car. I directed him to my house. He helped me load all of the rest of my things into the tiny space in the corvette.

"So, my friend is going to try and get me on the dance floor at Nicky's." I told him and he nodded. He had just finished closing the trunk.

"I'll be glad to help." He said smiling. He kissed my cheek and drove away. I got dressed and put on some makeup. I was wearing a light purple dress. Taylor rang the doorbell, I was so glad that my mom wasn't home. I got into her car and she drove us to Nicky's. When we got there I scanned the room looking for Reid and his friends. They weren't there.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" She asked me.

"Sure." I replied. She got us drinks and food and we eventually found a table, nowhere near the boy's. After we ate, we sat there and talked for a while. She got up to dance but I still didn't want to. So, she grabbed my hand and forced me onto the dance floor. After a few songs, a slow one came on. She immediately started looking for someone for me to dance with. She first pointed to Tyler.

"He is pretty cute." She said.

"He is taken." I said as I saw Allie drag him onto the dance floor.

"What about him?" She asked point to Reid. He was staring at me.

"What about him?"

"He has been staring at you all night."

"Really?" Playing dumb is so fun sometimes.

"Look he is coming over here." I looked up and saw Reid walking towards us.

"Wand to dance?" He asked me.

"Um, sure." I said and Taylor left and went to sit down. Reid held me close to him.

"Do you know how hard it is to watch you from across the room dancing like that. Trying to pretend I don't know you?" He whispered to me.

"Is it that bad?"

"You have no idea." I laughed.

"Well I'll be coming home tonight." I said and he smiled.

"You have no idea how much I have missed you. I think my dad even misses you." He said and I laughed.

"I have missed you so much."

"At least the sky won't be crying anymore." he kissed my forehead and pulled away from me as the song ended. I walked back towards Taylor and I could hear Allie in the back ground.

"Why isn't Sean coming over here?" then I heard Tyler shush her.

"Ready?" Taylor asked me.

"Yeah, sure." I said we got our things and left. We walked to the car and got in. Taylor drove me home. I pretended to walk inside but as soon as she left I waited in front of my house for Reid. He pulled up and I got in. We drove to his home. As we pulled up I felt home. Like a part of me that was missing was filled. The little bit that seeing Reid didn't fill up. I walked into the house and I was greeted by Meredith.

"I missed you." She said.

"I missed you too." She pulled away from me and handed me JJ.

"So you just want me here so I will take care of JJ." I said and she started laughing. I held JJ close to me. I missed him tons. She took JJ back and moved a little to the side.

"Birthday present time." Reid said from behind me.

"You didn't need to get me anything." I said.

"Shut up and close your eyes." I did so. All I could tell was that where ever I was going was downstairs. "Ready?"

"Sure." I said. He pulled down my hands and I saw a room. It had a huge bed in the middle and a small kitchen on the side it looked like a mini apartment in one room. My eyes got big. I threw my arms around Reid.

"Thank you!" I said.

"It's our room." He said and I looked at him.

"Really?"

"Yes. It really is. I convinced my parents that we should have our own place." He kissed my cheek.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too." He replied kissing me softly. I knew that I never wanted to leave him again.
