WOO NEXT CHAPTER!

Piper jumped at the voice and sighed. Heading back inside she got lost in her thoughts, allowing her feet to carry her, like she did back home.

Was I about to that I lo- no. No I can't… he's my friend, my good, charming, cute and smoking hot- AAH! No, no, no, no! Oh man… I just can't get him out of my head… His red hair, his green eyes, his gorgeous smile and flawless skin. Eugh, I feel like a stalker…

Piper sat down in a huff and laid her head on the table next to her breakfast. The others looked at her and then at each other. Junko's auntie had laid out what appeared to be a feast, but was just another breakfast for any wallop. She smiled and let the five get on, of course Radarr can't eat at the table… that's just manners.

Piper played with her food, the sexy skyknight running circles round her. Entering every part of her mind, her speech and even her sleep. No matter what she did Aerrow kept coming back to her.

"I'm going for a walk…"

With that said and done, she got up and left the table. She needed some air anyway. Piper allowed her mind to drift and once again Aerrow came into her head. With a groan she walked over to a park bench and sat down with a huff. Everything was fine until a (kinda scary) Wallop sat down near her. If she didn't know better she could have sworn he was moving closer to her.

She gulped as she felt him nudge her; she turned to look at him and was forced to crane her neck upwards. He smiled sickly at her before gripping her arm tightly. She panicked and tried to scream before he placed a colossal hand over her mouth. Her cries were muffled and he dragged her into a nearby alley.

The wallop pushed her up against a wall and rummaged through her pockets for cash or something of value. When he found nothing, she saw the flash of anger run through his dark eyes. She froze in horror as a huge fist came charging at her and smashed hard into the wall not even an inch away from her face. He warned her, telling her to get money for him, of course she refused and tried to fight back.

But when theres a small dainty female human against a huge bodybuilding wallop… the odds are stacked up against her. But still, she tried, forcing all of her weight against him, but nothing. Not even a budge. She gave up and stiffened at his hand gripped her arm even tighter. She yelped and saw another fist curled up, aimed and ready to fire. Her knees turned to jelly and she closed her eyes in fright.

"Second time this month isn't it?"

Both the wallop and Piper turned to see Crimson Rider stood at the entrance of the alley spinning his blades round his wrists. (Show off) Piper sighed in relief and looked back at the angry wallop who seemed to have let loose on he arm. With a swift kick to the ankles he let go and Piper was able to wriggle out of his monstrous grip. She ran to the back of the alley and waited, watching in fear and excitement. She had waited SO long for this day.

It was in a blink that Crimson Rider had him running, terrified. He turned towards Piper.

"We meet again…"

"Please… show me your face…"

He stumbled backwards, shocked by her request.

"I-I don't think that's a good idea, I mean not yet…"

"Why?"

"Because… I'm… I'm…"

"You're familiar…"

"What?"

"I know you…"

"No, I don't think-"

"Yes I do, there's only one person in all of Atmos with hair that bright…"

"…"

"Why are you hiding from us?"

"…"

"Please, we need to know you're okay, to know you still care for us, that you believe in us, in me… in the Storm Hawks! … Why are you hiding yourself away? C'mon … please… I know who you are… you do to."

Silence. She knew she was right. So did he. But both were too scared to really admit it.

"I'm afraid you've got me confused…."

"Yes, yes it is! You're Aerrow of the Storm Hawks and we all need you… I need you."

"I-I'm afraid you've got me confused… I'm really not-"

"PLEASE AERROW!"

Silence again. He didn't know what to do. Had she really figured him out? He looked deep into her eyes and walked a little closer. Touching her arm he bent down to whisper something in her ear.

"I've been trying tell you something, but you never understand. I feel like we've been going around in circles. You look at me like I've become a stranger on the street, a skeleton that's hiding in your closet… please, this isn't the end. But you have to understand, I'm not the boy I used to be and soon you will realise that. Piper, you've always stayed in my heart, trust me, you're an amazing friend and I love you for that…"

"But, Aerrow… I love you, like… more than a friend."

"I'm sorry Piper…"

He gave her a kiss on the cheek, but Piper wanted more. She needed more. Grabbing his cheek she pulled him down and firmly placed her lips on his. It was a while before they broke apart and neither of them knew what to say, or what to do. Piper began to cry.

"I have to go…"

"Don't forget me…"

"I wont… I promise…"

She waved goodbye, sadly satisfied with her kiss.

Wait. Hold the phone… KISS?! Holy crap I kissed him, I kissed Aerrow! No, no I didn't… I kissed crimson rider… that's who he wants to be… that's who he is.

She sadly walked out of the alley, feeling all kinds of emotions, not knowing which to show and which to keep to herself. She was happy she knew Aerrow was okay. Upset that he left. Angry he abandoned her. Scared from the darkness and finally… satisfied… because she got a kiss from the one person she wanted to spend her life with.

Confusing.

SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT!
