Here's the next chapter. Hope you like it. And thank you for those amazing reviews.

"Ellie. Ellie! Wake up!"

I woke up to hear someone yelling my name. I turned to see Drew with a worried look on his face then he let out a sigh of relief.

"Man, you are a deep sleeping," He laughed." Wow your cut doesn't look to good."

"Oh well whatever. I guess I should get ready for school," I said trying to get fully awake.

There was a huge pain in my cheek and I noticed it felt swollen. I got up and stretched out my muscles. Drew was watching me as I took the blood spoken cloth from my face.

"Ouch. Does it hut a lot?" he asked.

"You have no idea."

"Well I'll meet you at the corner in 5 minutes."

"Okay."

I opened the door and went into my room. I quickly threw jeans and a long sleeved shirt on. I brushed my hair and glanced in the mirror. My cheek was bruised and was red and swollen. I tried covering it with make-up as much as I could. It didn't look any better as I ran downstairs. My mom was luckily gone as I went out the door. Drew was waiting for me in his normal jeans and t-shirt.

"You look like you got hit with a bat."

"Wow thanks."

"I mean that in the nicest way possible."

We both laughed as the bus came down the road. I got on and walked down towards the back. People were staring and whispering to each other I tried to ignore it as I sat down. Emily got on and sat beside me.

"Oh my gosh! What happened?" she asked.

"Oh I feel and hit my head."

"Wow."

Then Evan climbed on the bus heading for us.

"Emily! You took my...holy crap!" He said as he took a look at me.

"I know. I know. I fell. Who cares." I said answering his unasked question.

"You look like you got hit by a bat," he said still looking at my cut.

"That's exactly what I said!" exclaimed Drew.

"Boys," Emily and I muttered.

We got to school and I was asked the same question over and over again. In between the bells I grabbed Emily and took her somewhere quiet. I tell her almost anything so why not this.

"Emily you were right," I sighed.

"Uh...about what?"

"I...like Drew."

She got exited and smiled," I knew it! You like him! Wow I'm good."

"Okay enough"

"I think he likes you to," she whispered to me.

"Ha. Ya right."

"The way he looks at you. It's definitely there your just in denial," she said and walked away as the bell rang.

I followed after her thinking about what she just said. Hmm maybe he does like me.. What am I saying? Of course he doesn't! I walked into class feeling everyone looking at me. People starting asking the same question as I sighed and sat down. The teacher came in and started talking about plate tectonics. I still felt people stealing glances towards me as I pulled out my notebook. Every since my dad started his abuse I found comfort in drawing. I was pretty good and I loved it. I pulled it open looking at my pictures. I had a picture of my friend Alissa, but she moved to California. I smiled to myself looking at the picture. She had the biggest smile on her face. She was always hyper and happy and I loved her. She made me laugh so much. I missed her. I flipped to see a picture of Emily with her tongue out. She was so crazy but that's what made her fun. I was thinking about all the good memories we had together. All the laughs and tears. Before I knew it the final bell had rung. I quickly went to the busses ignoring the people asking me questions. As soon as I got off the bus I took off running to the lake. Drew was close behind me. I ran all the way there stopping as I tried to get catch my breath. Drew came up next to me smiling.

"Drew got sit on that tree trunk next to the lake," I said as I got my breath.

"Why?"

"No questions just go."

He obeyed and went. I pulled out my notebook and grabbed a pencil. I sat across form him and opened to a new picture.

"Turn your head a little to the side but keep your eyes on me," I commanded.

He did as I told and I started to draw. I sketched the curves on his jaw and drew his neck. I started with his eyes that were so beautiful as I glanced up from the drawing. I smiled and began drawing again. When I finished the main things I worked on the shadowing. I drew more detail on his hair making it fit right on his face combed to the left. When I finished it was dark.

"All done."

"Let me see."

No, I still have to color it them you can see it."

"Fine."

We made our way back to our houses. I was smiling the whole time thinking about it. I got outside and ran upstairs. I grabbed my oils and went out to the balcony. I started coloring his eyes that seemed to glow on the paper. I worked my way to the tree trunk and the lake in the background. In the meantime Drew was playing his guitar the whole time. I wasn't completely done when I went inside. I collapsed on my bed and went to sleep thinking about Drew.
