Hello Readers, I told you I'd have another out tonight! This is an exciting chapter, things are starting to happen, so please read and enjoy!

Reid's POV

I had to find a way to get her to forgive me. But fucking Pogue won't let me anywhere near her. He even tells me at swim practice to stay away from her. I didn't know how much longer I could deal with it. I thought of all my options knowing I needed to do this, not only for me but for her too. She came home to heal and I was going to help her.

Karleigh's POV

The last few days had been quiet. I would say its peaceful, but then I'd be lying. I felt so trapped. The boys were off at Spencer all day, and I was home alone. I would walk the grounds in the cold knowing I couldn't do much else to clear my head. I heard a car motor coming up our drive, and I wandered towards the front to see who it might be. It was only one o'clock, so none of the boys should be here, and my parents had left the day before for a trip to Seattle.

I hid behind a tree as I watched this Flashy red BMW pulled up to our house. I continued to watch as the driver side door opened. A flash of blonde appeared as the driver stood up, I ducked back behind the tree. It was Reid... my first thoughts were on his car and how he had crashed a year and a half ago, but quickly the question changed to 'what the fuck was he doing here.'

I watched carefully, trying to not step on any branches or anything that would give away my location. I see him pull something from the passenger side of the car, and it looked like a regular brown box. I continued to curiously watch as he put it on the porch. He then took a note out of his pocket and put it on top of the box.

Reid stepped away from the front porch and walked the few steps back to his car, but then turned and stared at my bedroom window. He let a sigh, which I can only describe as a sigh of defeat, and got back into his car. Taking off back down towards the gate.

I step out of my hiding spot and almost run towards the porch. I look at the package and see it was address to me. I grabbed the box and headed up to my room, knowing that if Pogue found this he'd be furious and probably hide the package from me. Once inside I run up to my room and lock my door. I take the package to my bed and look at the envelop Reid had included. I open it first pulling out the sheets of notebook paper that held Reid's messy hand writing. I began to read the letter, knowing that he probably had a lot to say, but I didn't know if I wanted to know what he had to say. But I continued to read.

Karleigh

I don't know how many times I can say I'm sorry, but I've realized it's never gonna be enough. I know I hurt you that day, and I truly wish I could tell you where I really was that night, as well as every other night I had been out while you were there, but I can't.

Also I cannot even begin to apologize for what I did to you that day. I never in my life meant to cause you any harm. I was just so angry, I was just trying to get you to understand. But It was the wrong way and I know it. I hope you can some day forgive me for what I did, but if you don't I'll understand.

Pogue also told us what happened to you in California, and I know you need time to heal, but if you need anyone, I know I'm not your first choice, but if you ever need ANYTHING please let me know. If you want to respond to this letter, probably best you pass it along through Tyler so Pogue doesn't intercept anything and then beat my ass.

Just know I will always love you, even when you stop loving me,

Reid.

I was speechless. I didn't know how to react, but Reid was never one to just lay his feelings out for anyone to see and that is what I had here in my hands.

My eyes return to the box he gave me. Opening it up, I smile instantly. Inside were some of my favorite things. The King Arthur movie, the Harry Potter books (which was a weird conscience, mine got left behind in California), some vanilla cookies from my favorite bakery in Ipswich, and a hoodie. Now this was not just any hoodie, but Reid's hoodie. I take it in my hands and hold it up to my face to smell it. Axe body spray and Chlorine, my favorite smells. My heart sunk a little as this gift sitting in front of me as I realized what I had missed when I left two years ago. I sat there and cried for about ten minutes until I hear a gentle knock at my door. I quickly wipe away my tears and take the box and kick it under my bed. I walk to my door and open it slightly to see who it is.

"Hey honey, Pogue said you were home, and I have the rest of the day off, so I thought you could maybe use some company," it was Pogue's girlfriend Kate Tuney. We were never particularly close but it would be nice to hang out with someone other than my brother, Caleb and Tyler.

I open my door a little more to reveal a blonde girl who I didn't know. My eyebrow raises in question when Kate introduces her as Caleb's girlfriend Sarah. As I let them into my room, I notice Pogue standing at the top of the stairs watching. He smiles and heads back down the stairs.

"So I was think, Pogue has offered to pay for us all to go see a movie and go get some food. You want to go?"

I think for a second, knowing I have nothing better to do, and it would be nice to finally leave the Parry estate. I nod, grab my coat and follow them out the door and down the stairs.

"You girls going out?" Pogue asks.

"Yeah I think we're gonna take you up on that movie offer. Want to go see that Twilight movie, Karleigh," Kate asks.

I internal grimace at the thought of those stupid Twilight movies, knowing that they were complete garbage, but I nod not knowing what else there was to see.

We walk out to Sarah's car and we were off to the movies.

"Wow that movie was ridiculous," Kate said.

"Yeah, I mean none of it was real... Dumb," Sarah added.

Karleigh sat in the back seat tuning out their pointless drabble about the movie. She hadn't paid much attention to the whole thing as she was still pondering the box and note she had received earlier that day. What was she going to do?

"Kar are you ready to go home," Kate asked turning her attention to me.

I nod trying to communicate that I was tired, but in reality I knew I wouldn't be sleeping much tonight. I needed Tyler, I couldn't talk but he'd be able to help me, he had to.

We arrived at the Parry estate with in a half hour, and I rushed out of the car, almost running to the door as I noticed Tyler's Hummer parked out front.

I bolted in turning to the study, pushing the doors open and looked about the room till my eyes fell on Tyler lounging on a couch.

"Hey Kar, was the movie good," my brother said as he noticed me walk in to the room.

I simply raise a hand to him, and head straight to Tyler grabbing his hand and pulling him up from his lying position upright to look at me.

"Wow Karleigh what's up?" Tyler asks, seeming shocked that I'd been so forward.

I give him a look, and pull him to his feet and drag him towards the door.

"I guess I'll be back in a little bit," Tyler calls back as I pull him out of the study, as my brother and Caleb exchange confused looks.

"Wow Karleigh, where's the fire," Tyler says as I lead him to my room. I through open the door and pull him inside locking the door behind me.

I pull out the box from under my bed and point at it knowingly.

"Oh, that... Look Karleigh, I don't know if it's the best idea to get into it."

I grab a note pad, and begin scribbling down what I needed to say, this was the first time I had attempted to communicate with anyone since I was in the hospital.

I handed Tyler the note with a single line written on it.

I need to do this, please help me.

"Karleigh, please understand it's more complicated than you think."

I begin scribbling again this time taking more time to tell my reasons and feelings, he would help me... He had to.

I know, I cut it off right at the good part! But if you want to know what Karleigh has to say, then send me some reviews! I hope you all enjoyed it.
