Chapter 9

I turned back my attention to Cody who was busy staring at me. I looked at him. "You can stop staring now", I said smiling. "Sorry,its not my fault you're beautiful", he said smiling. "Wee thank you", I said flashing my hair. "So what's with the revealing clothes?", he asked pointing at me from head to toe. "Oh, this is me", I said pointing at myself. "Really?", he asked coming closer to me. "Yes", I stated. He stored in my eyes trying to find something. "well i don't think so, I see someone else deep down in those blue eyes of yours', he said. I blinked twice before looking away from him. Was he trying to figure me out?. I wouldn't dare to turn back around .I just couldn't do it. i took a quick deep breath in one out and turned back around to face him. "What' exactly do you see Cody?", I asked looking in his eyes. he smiled at me again. "A kind, beautiful, talented, smart, and red person", Cody said. " Whats with you and red?", I asked . "Well, your behavior yesterday with your brother, was full of rage from the looks of things ", he stated. "And I caught you red handed in church too", he said smiling. "You were watching me?", I asked. "Everyone was watching you red; you were in a pants and a T-shirt", Cody said. I looked at him wiping the smile off my face. He looked at me confused. "Did I...", he asked. "No.....I just don't like church/ It's not my thing Cody, but no one seems to understand. Ever since my dad died when I was 7; I refused to attend church. I would always stay home alone waiting for my dad to return, but he never did. i didn't understand anything. he was the only one who understood me Cody. I hated God for that, for taking him away from me in that church. Who does that?. Take peoples' life  in a church. No, that's not God Cody. (tears in my eyes). I felt when he touched my hand rubbing it. "I'm sorry red. And I gotta tell you... that everything happens for a reason", he stated. "can you tell me why he took my dad, the only the person who I trusted, who cared about me?", I asked with tears running down my face. "No, I can't", he said. "I just ... can't .....", he said. I didn't want to let go. he was going to draw away from me, when I stopped him. "Please," was the one word I said. We stayed there for a long time until it was just the two of us in the lunch room. 

Emily's P.O.v

"I met a boy today", Kate said looking up at Matthew. "Did he ask yo out?", matthew asked. I looked at Matthew  with an unbelievable face. Date?., on the first day. None sense . Kate's just 10 years old. "no, but we exchanged digits", kate said smiling. "he's so nice and cute", Kate said smiling again. George looked around at m. "What?", I asked with attitude. he turned back around. he didn't answer. " I met up into Amy boswell today, she says hi", George  said smiling. Amy was my friend. We grew up together. She was the  presidents's daughter. The president of Canada. We were both home schooled. Then our parents decided to send us to high school and college. Except for Amy. she had to stay home and continue being home schooled. The others and I went out into the world; exploring and enjoying  our lives basically. "Where did you see her?", I asked. "At the park wit her father", George replied. "Oh", I said. "We're home", george said driving up in the garage. "Finally", Matthew said getting out of the lemo immediately after george came to a stop. We made our way inside the house. I dropped myself in the couch turning on the TV. And guess who I saw . 'Diego'. Amy  's ex-boyfriend.H's here too. I wonder if they got back together?. After Diego cheated on Amy with me. I don't think so. Diego and I fell in love years ago; while he was with Amy. When Amy found out, she broke our friendship and her connection with Diego too. Diego was my first lover and I knew Amy wasn't happy with it , so we broke up and we all went our separate ways. But looks like destiny has something else planned for the three of us. Bringing us in the same country again?. Only hope we don't meet u into each there. Cause I know it won't be good. "Diego", Matthew said looking at the TV. "He hasn't changed one bit, has he?", Matthew asked. "How would you know that?", I asked looking at him. "Oh, Diego and I have our connections, otherwise from what happened between you and him ...and Amy?", Matthew said. "Uh-huh?, when were you gonna tell me this?", I asked. "Like never, our friendship has nothing to do with you", Matthew said walking off into the kitchen. "Kaii!?", he  shouted . I looked back at the television. Unbelievable. All this time. My phone rang. I looked at the screen. "Leon. Great. I turned off the television taking up the phone ad answering it. "You had connections with Diego too?", I asked getting up and walking up the stairs. He didn't answer. "Good afternoon again",he said in an innocent voice. "Answer the question Leo", I said making my way into my room." ok um .... yes ", he said. "Why didn't you tell me this?", I asked. he didn't answer. "Em, let's not talk about this", he tried to convince me. "Just tell me stupid", I said. " Ok....he's back with Amy.....", he said softly. I kept silent . "Really?", I asked excited. "Um.... you sound happy. Are you sure you're ok?", he asked. "of course stupid, I'm happy for them", I said smiling. "Ok", he said softly. "what's wrong?", I asked. "he knows you're in America",  he said . "Really?, you told him?", I asked smiling. "Yep, but... there's more to it, he doesn't want to see you Em", Leo said. Did he just say Diego doesn't want to see me?. "Come again", I said. he kept silent . But why?. What did I do wrong?. "He said that out of his mouth?", I asked surprisingly. "Unfortunately yes", Leo sigh. "Leon?", I asked in a serious voice. "Ok, he's at Amy's aunt house", he said. How am I suppose to know where that is?", I asked. "I'll send you the address", he said hanging up. I made my way downstairs. I was about to open the door when matthew stopped me.
