Sarahs P.O.V

---------------------------------

I was sitting in class trying to pay attention to the teacher, my hair wrapped up in my fingers. I was doodleing because I just couldn't pay attention. looking around, I realized that almost everyone was doing this. I staired at one guy in particular, Thomas. Man...how I wished he knew I existed. I could stair at him for hours and he wouldn't even realize it, wouldn't turn around and look at me, give me a dirty look, nothing. Just like everyone else though, I guess. No one ever noticed I was even breathing. My only friend was this notebook and pencil. I looked back at the teacher and kept doodleing. Suddenly I felt a cold chill go down my spin, makeing me shake. It felt like I couldn't breathe, couldn't speak. I looked around and Thomas was stairing at me. When he noticed I knew he was looking at me, he smiled. My heart stopped. My mouth flew open but I quickly shut it and smiled back. I looked around again to make sure he wasn't smileing at anyone else, becuase I mean...he couldn't be smileing at me, could he? "Sarah?" I turned my attention to the teacher. "Huh?" I asked. "I asked you what the square root of 144 is?" I looked around at all the eyes on me and turned red when I saw Thomas was looking at me too. "I um....don't know sir." That did it, the whole class started laughing at me. I lowered my heard and turned even more red. I glanced over at Thomas who was giving dity looks to the laughers. He looked angry but I couldn't understand why because he used to laugh with them. I turned my attention to doodleing again and counted the seconds until class was over.

Later that day

Thomas's P.O.V

-------------------------------

I clenched my fists inside my pockets as I walked down the hall. I wanted to hurt everyone who was laughing at her. I was so angry, but I tried not to let it show. I tried to focuse on something good, something to make me happy. I thought of Sarah. Oh Sarah...how beautiful she is. She seems so alone though and I feel like an ass because I haven't said a word to her all year. I steal glances at her during gym, and lunch, and every class we have together. I know she can feel it though. I look at her and she starts shakeing. She's all alone and I wanna be there for her. I want her to come running to me and I'll wrap her in my arms. Keep her warm...and safe from everyone who laughs at her. Thinking about their laughter reminds me of how much I hate everyone who hates her. I ball up my fists and try not to have an outburst. I need to see her just once more. I turn down a long hallway lined with lockers and head straight for hers. Locker 360. She's there, pulling notebooks and pencils off the top shelf of her locker. I stop by the fountain and pretend to get a drink but I stair at her instead. She starts shakeing again and looks around. She knows I'm watching. I take a sip of the water and whip my mouth on my sleeve. I look over at her and our eyes lock. I smile and wave at her and she smiles back. My heart starts pounding as I think about touching her. I have to do it, I just have to touch her once. I take a chance and walk over to her and start up a conversation. "Hi...I'm Thomas"

Sarahs P.O.V

-------------------------------

I started shakeing and I knew he was near me, looking or at least walking by. I looked around and there he was, at the water fountain. He looked away quickly and took a drink of water. When he was done he smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile too because if I didn't I would probabaly pass out. He started walking towards me and I swear I though I'd die. But I kept breathing, and my heart kept beating. He stood infront of me and said "Hi...I'm Thomas." I opened my mouth to say hello but I choked on the words that formed on my lips. I couldn't speak and I couldn't move. He saw me turn red. "I know your name, Sarah. I actually know alot about you." I gave him a confused look and his amazing eyes twinkled. "I've been watching you sarah, more than you know. All though I know you can tell when I look at you because I see you start shakeing." He smiled again and grabbed my hand. My heart started racing and I couldn't breathe. He noticed this and leaned in close as if he were going to kiss me, so my heart started beating faster. He looked me in the eyes and I could feel his breath on me. "Tell me you feel the same way I do." I couldn't take it anymore, I needed to feel his lips against mine. I lunged forword and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my body against his. I closed my eyes and we locked lips. My heart raced as his arms wraped around my waist and he pulled me closer even though there was no more room between us. I could tell her enjoyed it which ment the world to me. I could tell that it wasn't a joke, he really did like me. We pulled apart and I felt like there was electricity between us. He felt it too apparently. "Do you feel that?" He said. I nodded my head yes and smiled. "That means this was ment to be" I smiled as he said this.

Thomas's P.O.V.

-------------------------------

I knew she felt it to. I just had to prove it to her that I felt it. I fell in love with her a long time ago, but the kiss just proved it. I want her to fall in love too, then we can be happy together.

At home

Sarahs P.O.V

---------------------------

I walked home smileing and walking to the beat of the songs on my I-Pod. I was so happy that he kissed me, and that he even liked me at all. I would have never expected that from him. I have no friends, and he has everyone. I am always alone, and he's always in a crowd. I would have never thought that He loved me like I loved him. Or is this love at all...? Maybe he just likes me...I don't really know. But I'm likeing every moment of this. I got home and my smile faded. I knew what I'd be walking into. Dad passed out on the couch, beer bottle in his hand. Mom still wont be home, even after all these years. I walked in the door and quietly shut it behind me. I took off my shoes by the door and walked by the couch to go upstairs. My dad was there, as expected, but he wasn't passed out this time. He was sitting here looking at the black TV screen stairing off in space. I looked at him and said hi. He didn't say anything, just got up off the couch and stood infront of me. He smiled and took another drink of his bottle. "Hi dad. I'm gonna go up stairs and do some homework, ok?" He looked at me and shook his head no. Placeing his hand on the side of my face he said "No you're not. Your gonna stay down here and make daddy happy." He kissed my cheek and slid his hand donw my neck and over my chest and started up my shirt. "No daddy, not again, please." I grabbed his hand and pulled it out from under my shirt. I tried to run upstairs but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. He pulled her against his body. "Daddy, I said no!" I pushed him away and got out of his grip. I ran upstairs with him following close behind. I got in my room quickly and slammed the door and locked it. He kept beating on the door and he broke his beer bottle. I was scared he'd get in so I opened up my window and slide out through the hole I made the first time he tried this. I've used this escape so much. I slide down my roof and jumped into the front yard.

Thomas's P.O.V

-----------------------------------

I wanted to see her again, so I was walking to her house. I was about to turn onto the side walk that led up to her house when I heard a thud. I looked up and there she was jumping off the roof. What was she doing up there in the first place? She looked scared...and she had a bruise on her arm. She ran to the side walk and bumped into me. "Oh....Thomas, I'm sorry." She wiped her hair out of her face and smiled then looked down. She grabbed her bruisd arms and tried to cover it up. I took her hand and looked at the bruise. "What happened Sarah? This wasn't here at school." She pulled her arm back and half smiled. "Oh it's nothing, me and my dad just got in a little fight" She looked back at her house and started walking down the side walk. "Where are you going? And what were you doing on your roof?" She turned around and grabbed my hand, pulling me with her. "I was getting out of my house, through my window. I'm walking away so my dad doesn't see me" I looked around and her dad was no where in sight. "What's going on? Your acting really weird, Sarah" She mumbled under her breath and started running. I took off after her. She ran a few blocks with me screaming for her to stop. When she turned right, I knew she was heading for the park. She stopped and sat on a bench, not even out of breath. "What's going on Sarah? Your going to have to tell me sometime." She shook her head and let her hair fall in her face, hiding her eyes. I saw something glisten and then a tear splattered on her pant leg. "What's wrong Sarah? Speak to me here!" She turned her head away from me and scooted away. "You wouldn't love me anymore." My heart ached, I wanted her to tell me so bad it hurt. I wanted to help her. "I will never stop loving you"
