Collin is sitting in his room with tears in his eyes. he grabs the knife he had in his lap and presses it against his wrist. "I rather die than see you in that guy's arms." he whispered to a picture of Emily his ex-girlfriend. "Collin! what are you doing? Give me that!" Natalie yells as she comes rushing into his room. "your parents asked me to come...they're worried about you. I can see why." she takes the knife from his hand and puts it next to her leg. "Where's the sexy smile that I love collin?" Natalie smiled and took his hand in hers. She secretly loved him, but never had the guts to tell him and she hated herself for that. "you wouldn't understand since your still with dylan." collin whispers as he stands up and walks across the room. "ummm collin I'm not with Dylan any more." she cried out after sitting on the edge of his bed. "WHAT? what did he do to you?" collin yelled as he ran to natalie's side.
"oh it was nothing... I'm fine." she said looking down at her feet. "your the worst liar I've ever come across." collin smirked and sat next to Natalie. "see? That's the smile I love!" she leaned in and collin wrapped his arm around her. "does he like me?" Natalie asked in her head. She looked at the time and stood up. "I have to go eat dinner. Promise you won't hurt yourself?" she asked hoping to hear him promise and tell her he loved her. "I promise... As long as you text me!" he smirked again and followed Natalie out the door. That night Natalie took out her iPhone and texted collin like she promised. "like I promised I'm texting you!" she smiled at her phone then sent the text. Not long after that collin replied. "Good! Now I won't hurt myself! Natalie can I ask you something?" she got a little excited and said "sure anything!"
"do you like me? I was wondering...if you would be my girlfriend? I've always liked you. I never found the right time to tell you." Natalie read the text and giggled! "yes collin! I like you too!" she ran to a mirror and for once felt great about herself. "awesome! Want to watch a movie at my house tomorrow my parents will be out. I'll pick you up at seven! I have to go! Bye" Natalie now kissed her phone and replied "yeah that sounds great! Bye collin." she went to sleep thinking of collin. Once again she was in love. This time she felt like it was real nothing like Dylan. The next day Natalie spent hours trying on different outfits. Finally she found the perfect one! She was wearing short shorts, tight t-shirt, and flip flops! Around 12 Natalie asked Kayla (her best friend) to meet her in Starbucks. She had told her about collin but didn't give her all the details. Kayla and Natalie were really close since Kayla helped her get through her mother's death.
She was nothing without Kayla! without her...she wouldn't be alive. Kayla and Natalie sat at a table and drank the same coffee they always got when they went there. "sooo tell me! How did this happen?" Kayla asked so excited her eyes were popping out of her head! Natalie told Kayla all about her going over to collin's and showed her all the texts. They walked home together since Kayla lives across the street. It was 6:30 and she sat in her living room watching jersey shore. That's when Dylan texted her. "what does he want?" she said out loud annoyed. "I have to talk to you. I need to see you. Go to Starbucks in 10 minutes? It's important." at first Natalie ignored it, but she answered him so he wouldn't show up waiting for her. "I can't I'm going out with collin tonight. What do want to tell me?" she was kind of worried, whether she liked it or not she still liked Dylan.
