Chapter 1
Changes

2 years later

It had been 2 years since Hannah had run out on Tyler, his mom had ended up making the move to Florida, and Tyler had just celebrated his 18th Birthday. Summer was nearing an end and fall was setting in. the winds were changing along with the colors of the leaves which now lay around the bend of every tree and flurried down the street as the wind gently pushed it. Change was in the air. Tyler had changed too. If he was attractive before he was drop dead gorgeous now. He had grown a few inches; he had more definition in his chest and back. His eyes had darkened a few shades of blue and in them had grown intensity. The gentleness was still there but through the years he had been hardened; His dad's death, his mom's transfer, the relocation, Hannah breaking up with him. it all added strain. The bell rang announcing the call to the first class for the first day of school. Tyler finished spiking his hair and followed everyone down to the auditorium for the "Welcome to University of Florida," speech. He found a seat near the back of the room and rested his head back against the chair. He thought back to the first day of high school; the day he had met Hannah. He wondered what she was doing just then. He hadn't seen her for 2 whole years not since the incident at his house.

"Is this seat taken?" a male voice asked disturbing his thoughts.

Tyler turned and saw a young man with sandy brown hair and green eyes. Tyler shook his head and the man sat.

"My name is Kayden." He said extending his hand.

Tyler took it and they shook.

"I'm Tyler nelson."

'The man's handshake was firm and his eye gaze steady.' Kayden thought. Kayden glanced over at Tyler and felt a shiver run down his spine. Tyler seemed to have an intensity behind him, the darkness under his eyes indicated nights without sleep; why? He wondered. He seemed like he would be every girls dream man, seemed like someone you didn't want to mess with if he got mad. Kayden was intrigued. He decided he wanted to try to get to know more about this intriguing man beside him. Tyler glanced over and noticed him staring at him.

"What?" Tyler asked.

"Nothing, sorry, hey listen can I talk to you later on?"

Tyler smirked.

"I don't swing that way."

Kayden chuckled lightly.

'a sense of .' He thought.

"No, I don't either, in fact I got my eye on that girl over there."

He heard Tyler laugh.

"Alright then, we'll talk, later by the old oak tree."

Tyler told him before turning his attention back towards the lecture. Kayden smiled, he liked this guy already.

The sun shone brightly through the window, alerting the beginning of a new day. Hannah stretched and rolled out of bed.

"I was just about to wake you, we have classes."

Michelle stated when she saw Hannah walk into the restroom to get ready for school. The girls had remained best friends and were now going to U.C.S.D together. Hannah too had changed; in appearance and maturity. Hannah wad grown a little taller and her eyes had deepened. She had her hair cut to shoulder length and styled it fashionably. She had matured too. She turned many heads but wouldn't let anyone near her. The only guy that could be seen around her was Ryan; Michelle's boyfriend and her old friend.

"First day of college, are you nervous?" Michelle asked Hannah a moment later while she watched Hannah fix her hair and make-up. Hannah looked up and nodded.

"What do you think Tyler's doing right now?"

Michelle continually tried to get her to talk to or about Tyler. Hannah applied her lipstick and replaced the lid before tossing it into her bag.

"You think I care?" she asked tersely.

"You know that you do. you still love him and that's why you won't let anyone close to you, that's why it hurts you to see any of his old friends or places you two went. Admit still care deeply for him."

"I haven't seen him in two years; it hurts knowing what was and never will be again. That's 's not because I have feelings for him."

Michelle smirked.

"Whatever you say, come on we got to get to class, there's the bell."

Hannah glanced at the mirror one more time, then turned and followed Michelle down the hall; thoughts of Tyler now parading in her mind.
