"You going to be okay?" Karl hovered over my head, looking down at me questionably. I smiled up at him and patted his arm that was hanging by my side. 

"You should go and talk to him," I nodded my head towards Jon, who had Andy plastered to his side. No one missed the sweet kiss they shared and I guess there was only a handful of people who were happy with it. I was beaming for them.

"I don't want to leave you alone and it's just your second day out." 

I tilted my head up to glare at my twin brother. "I've been out the world a few times before you know." I told him with a stern look. When Karl turned to look away from me, a sheepish look on his face, I couldn't help but scoff at him.

He still thought I was that fine china from a year ago. But he didn't know I gave things a lot of thought and I was ready to be out here again. Whether he was ready or not, whether he believed it or not, I was finally ready to be outside again.

"Fine." Karl sighed and stepped away from my chair. "I'll be a minute."

I nodded at him and watched him join the line that was waiting to talk to Jon. I was going to see him when the crowd dispersed so I could talk to him properly and catch up with him. I'm not sure he saw me yet and I was excited to finally speak to my friend.

I turned my head to side and my eyes widened when it landed on the boy that rescued me a few days ago from falling. If I wasn't already seated I would have fallen backwards. I watched the boy - Leo - talk to another boy, their heads lowered together. They were arguing, anyone paying enough attention could tell. Leo said something and I saw the finality in his actions. He turned on his heel and walked off... and walked right to a pretty blonde.

I kept staring, wondering what Leo was saying to the blonde. She was looking up at him with teary eyes and before I couldn't even comprehend what was happening, the blonde put her hands on his shoulder and pressed a kiss on his cheek.

Leo smiled down at her and he opened his mouth to say something but was cut short when the other boy he was arguing with interrupted them. He glared at Leo before he grabbed the blonde's arm and dragged her away.

Wow.

The show was pretty much over and I should have averted my attention from Leo but I didn't. I kept my eyes glued on his face, his scruffy brown hair looking amazing on his head. He must of felt a pair of eyes on him because he glanced at the floor but then quickly looked at me directly.

My eyes widened again and I quickly snapped my head in the other direction, hoping he didn't catch me.

How I was so wrong.

Moments later I felt a hand on my shoulder. My whole body stiffened and I closed my eyes, hoping Leo would just leave.

"Nice to see you again, Reed." Leo said from behind me. I let out a loud sigh, hoping he'd get the message that I really did not want to speak to him. 

When I didn't answer him, Leo came to stand right in front of me, blocking my view completely. He stood with his hands  on his lips, a little smile playing on his lips. I rolled my eyes and gave him a reply. "You too Leo. Or do you prefer Ghost?"

He chuckled under his breath and put both his hands on each side of my chair. I looked at him incredulously when he came closer to my face.

What was he doing?

"You look really pretty."

"And you didn't answer my question." I shot back at him.

Ghost chuckled again and I realised our close proximity when his breathe fanned my face.

Oh goodness gracious.

"Ghost. I prefer Ghost."

I know this was a short update but I'm just setting the pace. Sorry for the long wait but I told you this wasn't my main focus. But it will be soon after Satin Shirts and Jeans Jackets are finished. 

Thanks for sticking around and for not losing interest!
