MY P.O.V
~~~
Who the heck was she? And how does she know my name? Although she does look pretty familiar.
Ugh, not the point! If I did know her and she was who I thought she was I would have to make this right. And that meant lying.
"Who are you? And who's Jessica?" I asked.
She looked saddened.
"I know it's you." She said in a weak voice.
"Um, no. It really isn't." I said. Surprisingly, this skirt was actually pretty comfortable, in fact I sorta liked- Wait! What am I saying?! I don't like mini skirts!
Although, the one I saw in hot topic didn't look so bad I mean- No! Stay on topic, Jess! Get a hold of yourself!
"Oh, well then, sorry for disturbing you." She said, leaving the house. It really was Amby.
I wanted more then anything to hug her and tell her it really was me and go home but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I had to do what was best for her. I was tired of putting her in danger all because of me and my mistakes. She didn't deserve it and I wasn't gonna do that to her again.

KAGE'S P.O.V
~~~
"You're right. If you didn't follow me, I probably wouldn't have made it out for another couple weeks." I said, picking up Jazzy, chuckling.
I carried her bridal style and kissed her on the forehead.
I really did love her.

RYAN'S P.O.V
~~~
I ran into Amby, still searching.
"Anything?" Aidan asked, anxious and hopeful.
"Nothing. I found a girl who did smell like water lilies but she looked nothing like Jess and she didn't even know who Jess was." She explained.
"Oh." Aidan said, sulking again.
I knew it.
He still loved her.

MY P.O.V
~~~
"Luke, we have to leave." I said, holding back my tears.
"Jess, don't you think you should stop running?" He asked, desperate now.
"No." I snapped. "I can't. I can't put them through all of that again. They don't deserve it." I said. "Now, you can either stay here or leave with me. Either way, I'm not staying."
I was now in his sister's old room. I picked up the bag and got ready to jump from the window. It faced another forest and I got enough sleep for me to make it another day.
"I'm not running, anymore." He said, planting his feet where he was.
"Fine, have it your way." I jumped down and my skirt flew up. Damn skirt. I pushed it back down and ran straight into the forest. I took a glance back at the house and I saw Luke staring at me.
I turned my head back around and kept running, the wind whipping my hair around.
Now where do I go?
