-Little to your knowledge the paths of our lives are about to collide-

I laid across my soft orange sheets. Lost in the fog of my own thoughts. I was finally going to see Sasuke again. What would he think of me? Its been so long.

"Jeez you are depressing. I'm sorry I even came in here!"

"Awe, shut-up Rachelle" I said rolling over to face my loud mouth friend "I didn't invite you here anyway"

Rachelle smirked "You didn't have to your mom invited me in."

I stuck my tongue out at her as I sat up.

"What's up?" Rachelle asked sitting at the foot of my bed

"I'm leaving to be with Sasuke." I responded blankly

"Really!" Rachelle exclaimed "Your mom is letting you go to Connecticut!"

I know it's a huge lie. But I couldn't think of another way to explain the disappearance of Sasuke. Other than, he moved to Connecticut. But can you really blame me? I mean, there were rumors going around that he had gotten kidnapped by some old guy.

"I haven't talked to my mom, yet" I said to Rachelle

Her eyes went wide. "She doesn't even like you walking to school. Less long to Connecticut alone…to be with a guy…alone."

"I'm seventeen!" I stated standing up from my bed "She should trust that I can travel alone."

"There are a lot of creepy perverts out there." Rachelle responded

"I can take care of myself!" I said with an eye roll.

"Girls come down for dinner" I heard my mom call from downstairs

"Now will be the perfect chance to ask her." I whispered to Rachelle as we walked into my bathroom to wash our hands.

For dinner, my mother makes her famous spaghetti. Most of the dinner was spent engaging in meaningless small talk. Until I gathered the nerve to ask the big question.

"Hey mom, may I leave to be with Sasuke?" I asked stuffing a particularly large mouthful of spaghetti in my mouth.

"Where is he at?" my mom asked back giving me a funny look.

"Umm…" I started chewing my food "He's in Connecticut"

"Jeez, don't talk with your mouth full." Rachelle said turning up her lip in disgust

I stuck out my food covered tongue out at her.

"Connecticut is way too far away" came my mothers soft voice "I'm afraid you can't go."

My jaw dropped "Come on mom! Please!"

"No" she said sternly "You are not going. Crimson, you are only seventeen and there are a lot of creepy perverts out there."

"Told you!" Rachelle exclaimed slamming down her fork

"Shut-up" I hissed at her

"I'm sorry to say it but you just can't go." my mother continued as she finished her plate.

"Okay" I replied trying not to sound upset so it wouldn't hurt her feeling.

The next morning, Rachelle and I walked up the sidewalk toward Saint Blossom. It was a grey cloudy day a cool breeze was constantly eroding the terrain.

"I know your crushed about the whole Sasuke thing" Rachelle said breaking the silence between us "But there is no reason to be dead silent."

"I'm sorry" I replied "And I'm not "crushed" about it. I'm still going to see him."

Rachelle's jaw dropped "But your mom said you can't go."

"She also says I should follow my heart."

"Not if it means going against her wishes!" Rachelle said

"I hate to say it, but right now it isn't about her. Its about me and my happiness."

Rachelle looked over at me. "Your mom's only trying to protect you."

She was seriously starting to agitate me.

"Okay! Protect me from what?" I queried sharply

"Love isn't a game" Rachelle began "It's easy to fall for the wrong person and get your heart broken. She is just trying to protect you. If its meant to be he'll come to you."

"I'm guessing you two talked about it" I stated bluntly "Nice to know she is talking to someone about me."

"It's not like that." Rachelle muttered

We both went silent for a moment before I said

"No matter if anyone likes it or not; I'm going to be with Sasuke."

"Okay" Rachelle replied giving up "Just be careful. Protect your heart and body."

I looked over at her "Don't worry I'll be okay."

"Alright" Rachelle beamed "I wouldn't want to be hunting down Sasuke or any creepy perverts for messing with my friend."

I smiled at her and elbowed her playfully.

"I wonder what Sasuke is going to think of your haircut and breasts." she stated with a smirk

My face turned red "I had boobs when he was here!"

"Who told you that lie?" Rachelle questioned smugly

With a growl, I started to run after her. Laughing loudly she started to sprint toward the gates of the school, despite the fact she was wearing heels.

"Dang" I thought as I ran "I'm going to miss her."

The day drifted by in a flash and before I knew it school had ended. Adrian and I walked to the back of the building to meet Rachelle in the parking lot.

"I hear you are leaving to Connecticut" Adrian said as we walked

"Yeah." I replied emotionlessly

Adrian smiled "Well I'm going to miss having you around."

"Why? Because you won't have anyone else to emotionally harm?"

Adrian looked taken back but continued "Seriously, I liked you but you weren't as popular as I was and I didn't want to put myself in that kind of spotlight. Plus, you were interested in other guys."

"When you say "other guys" you are referring to Sasuke, right?" I asked as my eyes narrowed

"Yes" came his reply

We both got quiet. Adrian stopped and turned toward me. If I hadn't already been exposed to the hottest thing I had ever seen; I might have been phased.

"So this will be the last time I ever see you?"

"Yeah" I replied looking up into the hazel eyes I once loved

"Well I just want to say…" she started slowly as if he was trying to find the right words "Sasuke is lucky to have a girl like you who loves him."

"Why are you being so nice?" I questioned skeptically

"Because Crimson, I l-love…never mind. Good luck with everything. Just remember you ca always come home to me."

Then Adrian walked away; leaving me looking dumbfounded.

That night, I crept out of bed and put on the outfit Valerie had given me the day before.

Despite the fact that I should be happy; I felt guilty. For leaving everyone like this. With an long sigh, I leapt from the window. My black cloak trailing in the wind behind me.

Within minutes I walked through the front door of Valerie's house. The green haired witch sat cross legged in the middle of the living room.

"Hey Valerie." I greeted her.

So going against her family and friends; Crimson is going to leave and be with Sasuke. But is it possible that they tried to stop her for a deeper reason?
