Till Death do us Part

Ch1

"Do I know you?" Marissa asked with confusion on her beautiful delicate face when she heard the kid with blonde hair called her name. Seriously, people had become weird these days. She didn't even know she's known in Spenser Academy.

Marissa's question threw Reid a back; he looked at the others for clues, but found nothing. They have that amazed look in their eyes. How much change was that old man meant when he said 'she's not the same anymore'?

"His name's Reid Garwin, Marissa. This is Pogue Parry and Tyler Simms. The girl is Kate." Caleb introduced his friends to her sister. Reid chuckled a little bit at the scene. Of all things that have needed to be different, it has to be this! Marissa doesn't even know him!

"What's funny, Reid?" Cassie asked, emphasizing his name. Reid looked at her and shook his head playfully. He wondered how much really changed so he began asking questions.

"So I heard you came from California. How are the chicks there?" He asked casually, however, he heard Marissa laughing at him.

"Obviously, you heard wrong, I was from England, not California. Jeez, Caleb, am I the sudden talk of the whole school now? Is that why Blondie here heard the wrong information?" Marissa joked, while everybody laughed. However, Reid was, for the first time, not annoyed that a girl just told him off. He was thinking deeply.

Reid's thoughts

So if Marissa came from England, then Noelle wouldn't be here because Noelle came from California. If she's not here, then there would be no threats? Then, how would Marissa die and what the heck is he talking about "Don't change the history?"

End of Reid's thoughts

"Uh, Reid? Hello? Earth to Reid?" Tyler said waving a hand in front of his face. Reid suddenly snapped back to reality and blinks a few times. The others laughed at him, but he stayed quiet, contemplating on what happened.

"Does anybody know a girl named Noelle Cromwell?" He asked randomly. The guys seemed to think about it, but received a shook of the head from everyone.

"Dude, are you okay? You seemed out of it." Pogue asked punching Reid lightly in the shoulder. Was he okay?

"UH, yeah, just a déjà vu feeling." He said. Caleb looked at him and he tried to smile. He was always the worried one. When they were kids, Tyler had a scratch one from falling down, and he freaked about it. Reid looked Marissa and he saw her looking at him intently. He flashed her smirk that every girl loves and she gave him the same thing.

Somehow, she knew something was wrong with Reid.

As the guys toured her on her new school, Marissa and Kate developed a new friendship. Reid couldn't help but stare at her. She's so beautiful, so enchanting. Caleb noticed something was wrong with Reid, they had passed a hundred of good looking girls already, and yet Reid didn't even acknowledge any of them. He was staring at his sister.

"This is bad." He whispered to Pogue and pointed at Reid. Pogue just chuckled at the sight of Reid love struck.

"No, I think it's good Caleb, I mean…he's actually growing up now." Pogue said, contradicting Caleb. But Caleb didn't like the idea of Reid liking Marissa. Reid would hurt her and he knew it.

"So, Kate, mind if you mention the hot guys here in Spencer?" Marissa asked Kate when they turned around the hallway. Kate looked at Pogue and bit her lip; Marissa caught this and just smiled. "Oh, we all know you love Pogue, but come on, if you don't tell me I won't go here. I'm sure Pogue wouldn't want that." She blackmailed. Kate had to smile for that.

"Well if we're talking about boys, you must know that there's this guy named Aaron who just wouldn't stop hitting on girls. So get away from him. You know all the Sons of Ipswich; they're the talk of the school….." Kate started talking. Marissa absorbed all those information.

Reid went and sat down in a deserted park after ditching his friends. It's not that he's not happy Marissa's back; it's just that he needed to think a lot and he doubt he could do that with his friends bombarding him with questions. He sighed and rested his face in his eyes.

"For a man who said he'd do anything to be with his love one, you seemed to troubled and distress." The same man who helped him go back to the past appeared smiling foolishly at him. Reid gave him a death glare and shook his head.

"It's just that Marissa doesn't even know me. How about all those things that happened between us? Are all those things just suddenly forgotten?" Reid asked standing up.

"Not really forgotten, Reid. You could say it's hidden, kept on the very back of her memories. It's up to you to reveal those things." The man calmly said. It pisses Reid more that he seemed like it's so easy to do, but it's not. However, what he didn't know was Marissa was watching him behind a tree, and from her point of view, Reid's talking to himself.

"But how do I do that?" Reid asked, but once again…the ghost left him behind without answers to his many questions. Reid kicked a pole out of frustration.

"You know, they say that the number one sign of insanity is talking to yourself." Marissa teased, walking towards him. Reid took a notice of her and suddenly his hot temper cools off.

"What are you doing here?" Reid asked, taking a sit on the swing. Marissa just stood there, but looked directly into his eyes.

"We need to talk."
