Isabel

He pulls over to the side of the road after driving for ten minutes and says"Iz. We can't go back to school or into town. Someone might see us."

I don't reply because I can feel a lump forming in my throat,everything that just happened is finally starting to hit me,"Are you okay?"

I shake my head,"No." I manage to say in a whisper as my eyes begin to mist up

Alex

"No." Her eyes start to get misty, and I let out a sigh. You can't stay mad at someone who's crying.

"Tell me what happened," I say, scooting over and putting my arm around her. "You're okay now."

Isabel

"Tell me what happened," Alex asks me as he wraps his arm around my shoulder "You're okay now."

I turn around instinctively and burrow in to his side,seeking comfort "I was...just so scared." The tears run freely now,wetting the front of his shirt
"I thought he was...going to hurt me." I say inbetween my sobs

"He just grabbed me...started talking about...about...rocks and fossils.Kept insisting on taking me home and he shoved me in to the car."

Alex

"I was...just so scared. I thought he was...going to hurt me." Isabel says, her voice muffled because she's buried her face in my shirt. I rub her back comfortingly as she continues to cry.

"He just grabbed me...started talking about...about...rocks and fossils.Kept insisting on taking me home and he shoved me in to the car."

"He didn't hurt you though, did he?" I ask, running a hand through her hair. "You're fine?" What a psycho. And to think I punched him in the face.

Isabel

Alex rubs my back and strokes my hair as he listens to me,"He didn't hurt you though, did he?...You're fine?

"I'm fine." I reply and look up at him "Because of you." Tentatively I touch his left cheek with my right palm "You were so brave."

Alex

"I'm fine. Because of you." Isabel looks up, bringing her hand to rest on my face. "You were so brave."

Blushing, I look down at her. "All I did was punch him in the face. Anyone coulda done it." Why is she being so nice all of the sudden. A minute ago we were over, and now she's crying in my arms. It's all so confusing.

Isabel

He blushes when I tell him he was brave, "All I did was punch him in the face. Anyone coulda done it.",he says modestly

I smile at him tenderly,"No...not everyone.Alex...no male has stood up for me since...well since my father left mom and me all those years ago.What you did...I'll never forget." I kiss his cheek

Alex

"No...not everyone.Alex...no male has stood up for me since...well since my father left mom and me all those years ago.What you did...I'll never forget." As she kisses me on the cheek, a smile crosses my face. It feels good to know that she's greateful for what I did, no matter how stupid I felt doing it.

But then I get serious. "Isabel, are you...are we..." I need to know, want to know before I start thinking again, because right now all I want to do is kiss her and make everything alright.

Isabel

"Isabel, are you...are we...",Alex asks as I pull away from him slightly

For a moment I don't know what to say.I mean I was the one who ran out on him back at the stream yet he still wants us to be together.May be I should just let go of my fears of abandonment and give our relationship a chance.

"Alex...I'm scared...of losing you.But...I think I would curse myself for the rest of my life if I didn't try to work things out between us.I have always loved you...it just scares me to think that I might wake up one day and find you gone.Can you forgive me for being such an idiot?"

Alex

"Alex...I'm scared...of losing you.But...I think I would curse myself for the rest of my life if I didn't try to work things out between us.I have always loved you...it just scares me to think that I might wake up one day and find you gone.Can you forgive me for being such an idiot?" She pulls away slightly, and as I listen to her apology, I honestly think about it. I mean, I understand why she walked away, but do I want to give it another chance? I mean, of course I do, but will it work?

"You don't see me leaving now, do you? I'm scared of losing you too, and for a few minutes today, I did. I mean, you walked away." I gaze at her, trying to make sure she means it, by looking in her eyes.

"But yes, I'm willing to give it another chance. I forgive your idiocy."
