Ok,this thought just came to me. If it's good let me know and I'll continue if not nbd.

I walked to my boyfriend, James Stark's, after school to bring him the assignments he missed the last few days. Poor baby has been sick. I had been dating Stark (as so many people call him) since middle school. Now were both 17 and seniors in high school. We had plans to marry after 4 years of college. I would be a stay at home mom while he had his own law firm. I knocked on the door and his mother, Beth, answered wearing a blue dress and apron. She had flour on her cheek and dress. She made the world's most amazing cookies. I said hi, hugged her, and run up the stairs to my baby's room.

Even sick, he looked super-hot. I kissed him softly on the lips and crawled in bed next to him. His arm went over my shoulder and we just cuddle for a while.

"So feeling any better?" I asked

"A little, now that you are here." I smiled.

"I missed you," I said looking into his eyes. He pulled me into a kiss.

"Well, maybe, you should stay here tonight. I always had a fantasy about doing it with a nurse." He said with a wicked grin. I giggled. He was always so cocky. But truth was, we had never had sex. I didn't know why, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I did hang out until the sun had finally set. I had to get home though and he knew it. He had enough strength to walk me to the door.

"I'll be back tomorrow. I love you, Zo." He kissed me.

"I love you too. Goodnight." I walked out and headed for home. My house was about 3 blocks from Stark's. As I was heading that way a car pulled up next to me. Inside was Erin and Shaunee, two of my best friends ever.

"Hey girl," Erin called. "Need a ride."

"Yes, please," I throw my stuff in the back and climbed into the car. Then off we went towards home.
"So, have you seen the new guy yet?" Erin asked, turning to face me in the back.

"What new guy?"

"His name is Erik Night," Shaunee said. "He just transferred here. He is super smart, super sweet, and has the looks of a God."

"Yeah, he is even hotter that Stark!" Erin giggled.

"Speaking of which, how is that boy of your's?"

"He is feeling a lot better. He'll be back tomorrow." I looked out the window just in time to see my house come into view.

"So, see you tomorrow girly," Shaunee said stopping the car. I thanked them for the ride and headed up the walk. I lived with my mom, step loser, and my sister. Ever since my mother got married she had stopped be my mom and turned into his wife. She was now strictly religious and didn't approve of me dating Stark or following the Cherokee ways my Grandma Redbird taught me. I walked in and found my mother doing a knee-point.

"Hello honey how is Stark?" She ask as an absent attempt to be a part of my life.

"He is fine. He'll be back at school tomorrow."

"That's good. If he misses anymore school he won't graduate." I nodded and headed up to my room. I fell on my fluffy, soft, navy blue comforter. On my night stand was a picture of me and Stark at homecoming. I smiled remembering how we ended up sneaking of to the football field and then got attacked by sprinklers. I picked up my phone and started texting Heath, my best guy friend. Stark was super jealous of Heath, but he was with my girl best friend Stevie Rae so I didn't understand why.

Z: Hey, Heath. Wht do you know about the new guy?

H: Nothing much. How's the boy?

Z: better.

H: Good. Hey listen do you wanna come over and have a double date with me and Stevie Rae? Friday at 6?

Z: I'll talk to Stark and let you know tomorrow.

H: ok, Stay golden Z, night

I put my phone on the charger and headed to bed. Long day tomorrow.

And it was a long day. Stark did come to school today. But, he was ignoring me for some reason. By lunch I was sick of it and I had to confront him.

"James, what is going on with you?" He pulled me aside where we could talk in private. Or as private as you can get in a hallway full of people.

"Look, Z, I think we should take a break. I thought about this all night. I love you, I really do but I think we need time apart for at least a month. A lot is going on with me and I can't be tied down."

"You want to see other people?" This can't be happening. I loved this man.

"Yeah, come on give it a month and then will talk ok? I do love you Z." He kissed my forehead and headed off to his next class. I took a deep breath and held it. I had to keep myself from crying. I walked out to the school parking lot and got in my car. Once inside, I let lose the pain that he had just caused. I didn't understand. I loved him. Then, there was a tap on my window. I looked up and saw a tall, hot, black hair guy with intense blue eyes. I opened the door and stepped out. I leaned against my car and looked at the pavement.

"Are you ok?" His voice was like liquid gold on my skin.

"No, but I will be." I wiped some tears away from my eyes. "Hi. I'm Zoey Redbird."

"Erik Night, nice to meet you."
