Nick Mellark

After I explained what happened to Daniel, we walked around, just talking, it was nice. I didn't have any guy friends in my life really. My sister says its cause I'm so threating.

"So what did Anastasia show you?" I asked. I didn't want him to show him things twice.

"Well I've seen the bakery and the lake in the forest."

I frowned. "What?" Daniel asked.

"Ana's never really shown anyone it, I haven't either." I explained.

Why did she show him it? I thought it was just our families place. Sure, some families know where it is. But it's always been me, Ana's and my mom's place. That's where my mom taught us how to swim. I remember that day. Ana was seven and I was four. My mom took us into the forest telling us not to tell dad. When we reached the lake my mom sat down and gestured us to get in.

Me and the lake have been inseparable since.

"She likes you." I said quietly to Daniel. "You seem like a cool guy. But you know if you hurt her I'll have to kill you."

Lunch was a little bit… awkward. Dad was there, apologizing time after time. He always does that after an attack. Our family learns to forgive and forget certain things. This one on of them.

Anastasia and Sonya were there chatting away. I smiled a bit, Ana was never one to have friends… my smile went away after I remember that they would be leaving in less than eight days. Would we ever see them again? They might come next year. But that's a long time away, a year was a long ways away and they could change.

"Hey!" Someone yelled snapping their fingers in front of my face. Sonya was leaning over the table staring at me. "You off in la la land?"

No, just thinking of you.

Sonya Hawthorne

Lunch was delicious, if I do say so myself. I helped Anastasia make it. Apparently the cake 'we' made we can see at dinner.

After lunch, I decided to hang out with Nick, we immediately started walking towards the woods.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I grabbed his shoulders and planted a kiss on his lips. They were warm and tense compared mine, but they softened after a few mere seconds. He slithered his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his shoulder. His hair was so soft and silky.

My back hit an old oak tree but I barely noticed.

Someone called my name and we sprung apart trying to catch our breath.

My dad called me.

Nick stared at me speechless as I ran away.

…..

I'm sorry this one's so short , I'm just super tired, but I know that's not an excuse...

Hopefully Sonya and Nick making out will make it okay though
