Hello, Lucy... I uhh.., said a hooded figure with some blonde hair showing.

Shh, she says and pushes him back a little and closes the door. She takes his hand and drags him to the left side of the house. Then she makes sure the coast was clear and asks in a whisper, Schroeder! What are you doing here?

I wanted to talk to you, so who was the guy with you in the truck?, he asks in a whisper to her, while messing with the grass.

Lucy- What? Oh it's nobody! You know you shouldn't be here!

Schroeder- Oh so that guy you kissed was nobody?

Lucy- Are you spying on me?

Schroeder- I live right next door!

Lucy- Why are you interrogating me!?

Schroeder- Why are you not answering my questions?

Lucy slaps him in the arm hard and heard him suck in air and she says, Who I date shouldn't matter to you, because news flash we are not together.

I want to be!, he says rubbing his arm. He grabbed her hand to hold it, If you just hear me out. I'm sorry for everything I have said when we were 10. If you want me to leave you alone, I can't do that. Only because of how I really feel about you. I just want to be given another chance, if I fail then I will never bother you again. If you want to just be friends, I don't think I can do that either, because I care more then being just your friend. I'm sorry I sound so desperate, but I kind of am. Only you can make my world seem right. Only you can make the darkness I had, go bright again! You make me feel alot better. You have opened my eyes and stolen my heart. You make me believe that love can be art. And I could never survive a minute apart. You are my one true love. The look in his eyes made her think he was being truthful. She wanted to desperately believe him but she couldn't.

Schroeder, I can't.., I've.. been through alot. You don't understand, I, I want to believe you, but I'm scared you'll hurt me again. She said looking away. He sits beside her and moves her face wuth his hand to look at him, Linus got out of his car and noticed voices close by. So he went around the house and noticed the scene.

Lucy I will never, never hurt you ever again.. I lov..but before he could finish.

Hey, what is going on here!?, Linus said grabbing Schroeder up by the collar of his shirt. Schroeder just glared at him and grabbed his arm.

No don't hurt him he was just leaving! Stop it Linus!, Lucy said trying to pull her brother's hand off Schroeder's collar.

Schroeder jerks out of Linus's grip and says, What's your problem with me anyways?

What's my problem!? Hmm lets see, maybe 'cause you're the reason my sister is depressed!, Shouted Linus.

What? What do you mean?, Schroeder looked at him then at Lucy.

Linus don't!!.., Lucy said looking destressed.

Why not, were you going to tell him about being in the hospital?!!, Linus said getting more mad at her. Schroeder still didn't get what's going on. You caused her to try and hurt herself. We finally got her back to normal. So leave her alone or I'll call the police, and get a restraining order against you! Now get outta here!!, Linus said and pushed him to the ground. Then grabbing Lucy's arm and tried pulling her away. She tried to get away but knew it was the best. Schroeder quickly got up and yelled, Linus, wait hang on!

What?, Linus said stopping in his tracks but still had Lucy by the arm. You can't keep her from me!, he said desperately. Linus scofted and said, Try me! Then he started dragging Lucy again. No! I won't give up! Because I DID THE SAME THING!!!, Schroeder screamed.

Linus and Lucy stopped walking. She turned around and asked, You did what?? Linus just stared daggers at him.

I was miserable for no reason at all. There's nothing more depressing than having it all and still feeling sad. Since you left everything wasn't the same, because I distanced myself from my friends and family. I thought it would go away but it was killing me inside. So when I got my license, I took my car out on a rainy day. I crashed it on purpose. And right before I close my eyes, the only thing that was on my mind was you. I wondered what it was like to be loved by you and to be happy with you, Lucy. I know you don't believe me but I'm telling the truth., Schroeder said looking down.

Lucy ran towards him and gave him a hug, and then he heard her start to cry. He hugged her tightly, then looked to make sure Linus wasn't going to intervene.

Schroeder.. I'm sorry I didn't know you have been going through something also. So you really want to be with my sister then?, Linus asked.

More then anything in the world, Schroeder said looking very serious and then he looks down at the girl in his arms. Lucy was looking up at him with vulnerablity in her teary eyes.

Lucy?, Linus asked. Lucy backed away from Schroeder to turn around to look at her brother. What did you want?

What do you mean?, she asked, getting confused at the question he was asking her.

What I mean is do you feel anything for him?, Linus asked seriously.

I don't know. I mean, I know when we kissed I felt something, because when I kissed Ricky I.. I felt nothing., she said honestly. Linus nods and says, My condolences to you both. If you are happy Luce then I'm okay with it. But man, if you break her heart, I'll break you! You got it?

I won't this time I promise!, Schroeder says, putting his hands up in defense. He taps Lucy on the shoulder and she quickly turns around and he asks, So, you felt something when I kissed you? Was it good or bad thing?

Lucy face went immediately red. Oh I uhh..., She says. Schroeder starts laughing and started rubbing the back of his neck. And he said, Oh it was that good huh? Well being my first kiss and all I'm shocked it was that good. Hahaha. She hides her face in her hands from embarrassment. Then thinks to herself, It was my first kiss too. We shared first kiss together! I don't know if that's lame or sweet.

Linus shakes his head and laughs as well and starts walking to the front of the house to go inside, but before he walks in he calls out, Don't have mom catch you guys, oh remember Lucy you're grounded starting tomorrow! Night!

Oh my god! I almost forgot! Okay Thanks night!, Schroeder I gotta go, she said trying to control her nerves. He pulls her to him and rubs his thumb acrossed her bottom lip. Then he moves the same hand to the back of her neck to pull her to kiss him. Their lips were inches apart but Lucy pulls away and she laughs nervously, and tries to run but stumbles to the door to go inside and says, Night Schroeder! And he was disappointed but smiles and says, Night Lucy!, She closes the door, and he starts walking back to his house and thinking, Well, I guess I still need to give her little bit of time. I can't rush things like this. Love can heal I just need to be patient.
