It had been two weeks since I went to talk to Ivy in the hospital and promised her I would stay away from her boyfriend; I was still kicking myself for promising such a stupid thing. Josh had tried to phone me several times, but I never answered them.

It was Monday, three more weeks and it's going to be Winter break. I had woken up at 4 this morning because of my own personal nightmare. At least I had slept for 6 hours which was a record for these past 2 weeks. I had decided I needed to catch up on some reading, so I went to pick up the new book I had just bought recently. It was called The Luxe by Anna Godbersen.

I must of lost track of time, this book was amazing. But suddenly Astrid's alarm clock went off and she jumped out of bed, not noticing I was staring at her. She must have figured it out, because she slowly turned around and a huge smile formed her lips.

"Hey!"

"Hi Astrid", I smirked. "Got a nice early jog with Trey?"

She blushed. "Yeah…"

"Oh, well don't let me hold you up from seeing your lover boy", I cockily said.

She just ran in to the bathroom and I laughed.

Half an hour later, Astrid was ready and was leaving. I just smiled at her and she returned it.

I carried on reading, but I wasn't so in to it anymore and so I got up and started to get ready a little early this morning. First I looked outside and to my surprise it was sunny, except I knew it would be slightly cold because of the very heavy wind I could see pushing all the trees in different directions. I went over to my closet and decided I would wear my grey plaid pleat mini skirt, polka dot lace trim cami, a ruffle trim crop cardigan, black pantyhose, silver lace peep toe heels, my hello kitty love planet tote, a square heart print scarf and my cute heart shaped sunglasses. I went to my jewellery box, it was one of the many presents I had received from the twin cities. It was absolutely beautiful. I carefully opened it up and picked out my peace wing charm necklace. I was finally ready at 6.45. I still had 45 minuets till breakfast, so I walked down the hall and in to Noelle's bedroom. She was still in bed, awake, but not totally.

I sat at her desk chair.

"Morning sleepy head, I think it's time you get up."

She just threw a pillow at me.

I sat there for about 10 minuets, she still hadn't gotten up and so me being in the moment I jumped on her bed and started bouncing up and down until she actually got out of bed. She came out of her bathroom at 7.25 and we walked to breakfast.

"So, you were ready early this morning, how many hours of sleep did you get last night?" She asked actually looking slightly concerned.

"Nearly a full 6 hours, it's my record."

"Reed, it's not a joke. You need to speak to someone."

"Well you're someone and I speak to you."

"Someone who's a professional, someone who can help you get over this whole thing. I know it was traumatic for you and you're never going to get over it unless you get help for it. So please Reed, do it for me."

"I don't know"

"Do it for Josh then."

"Don't try guilt me in to something Noelle! What I do will all depend on me, not on you and defiantly not on Josh, Ok?"

"Gosh, I'm trying to help you Reed and if guilt is the only way to do it I will. I don't want to see you like this anymore. You've been miserable!"

"Maybe I'm miserable because of something else; maybe it has nothing to do with what happened! Ever think that maybe no one can help me?"

"It's what you promised to Ivy isn't it?"

"I think so, I just keep replaying everything in my dreams and they never stop. My broken and it will be fixed unle…" She cut me off mid sentence.

"Unless you get Josh back."

"That. Is. Never. Going. To. Happen. He's Ivy's now, not mine."

I didn't let her say anything after that because we had just walked in to the cafeteria. We went to stand in the lunch line and that was when I looked up and saw who was standing in front of me and then he had to turn around to see who had walked up behind him. When he looked at me e looked straight in to my eyes and smiled. I didn't smile back, I couldn't it was a promise, a promise I could never break.

"Hey Reed. I've been trying to phone you?"

"Yeah, sorry I've been busy."

"Reed, I have noticed you're avoiding me what have I done?"

"I have to go." I put down my tray and ran out the cafeteria. All I heard as I ran towards the Art Cemetery was foot steps behind me, but I didn't look back to see who it was, because I knew who it was and it was the person that I needed right now.
