It was hard to listen to Gaven, but h had been right about everything so far, why would he be wrong this time? My tears stopped, it seemed like the whole world did. Gaven's eyes began to fill with tears, but he rolled his eyes away so I wouldn't be abel to tell he was actually scared. The Watcher carried us for miles it seemed, then, we passed a sign. It had the number 27 on it. My mind froze and wen back to the time before Daniel sent The Watchers after our families, the das we went to public school with all the other happy famalies. I saw Gaven, he was sitting on the back of a bench, me tracing the number 27 on his football sweatshirt, it was a warm summer day, but he refused to take off the sweat shirt. I called him a dork for it, I traced his number over and over again until I heard him, "Hey, hey. What are you doing?" I burried my face in his back and looked up at him, "Tracing your number and name." He chuckled and said, "Alright." He squeezed my hand that he had been holding the whole homeroom.

I layed my head on his back and felt every movement he made, every breath he took, I shut my eyes and listened to his voice, talking with other people and laughing at his own jokes. He moved his hand back to me and wrapped it around my tiny waist, I felt his head turn as much as it could to look at me behind him. I opened one eye and smiled at him, he smiled back and stared at me. His eyes were beautiful, green and blue, his dirty dark blonde hair and tan skin, every time he looked at me, I'd have to smile, you couldn't help looking at his face without smiling! He lowered his eyes and looked at me lips, this is what he always does when he wants to kiss me. I smiled bigger and took my face off his back and leaned forward to kiss him.

"Madelene? Maddie? Are you alright?" I jumped, we were inside some kind of prison. "Gaven? Where are you? I can't see you!" I began to get tears in my eyes and fear in my voce, "Hey! No, no! Don't cry Mad! I'm right here!" I heard shuffling around the room and then felt his arms wrap around me. He pulled me over so my head was on his chest, he was warm. As usual. I felt his breath on the top of my head, his hands wrapped around me, maybe a little lower then they should be. I heard a loud bang as light flooded the room, "Ah! What the?" I heard Gaven yell as he pulled off one of his arms to cover his eyes, I burried my face in his chest, the light burned. After a moment my eyes ajusted and I could see who was standing at the door, it was The Watcher that brang us here.

I screamed in terror that they were going to kill us but Gaven quickly tightended his grip on me so I began to suffocate in his shirt. I looked up at Gave, his eyes were closed and he was moving his lips, repeating the same line over and over again, "It's all going to be okay." I tried to move my head before my tears soaked into his shirt but it was too late, faster then ever, he looked down and wiped away my tears, "Don't cry. I love you." I mouthed it back, but no words came out. He half smiled and layedhis head ontop of mine.

He nudged me to stand up as he pointed to the door, The Watcher was pointing out of the room, it was time to die. We stood up and Gaven gripped my hand until I was sure it had fallen off. Gaven was sure pulling off the "I'm not afraid" look. I failed at this horribly, tears streamed down my face as The Watcher grabbed Gaven's shoulder and pulled us to stand on a circle on the floor. I looked up, "What do you think Ferris would do?" I looked at Gaven, "What do you mean?" I said, "You know. If your dad and Ferris were still alive, if they knew you were introuble?" I thought about this before answering and then looked back at Gaven. "I don't really know. My father, nothing. Ferris, he would try." My tears came faster and gaven pulled me close. I cried harder, I wasn't expecting it, but I felt tears running down my scap and down the back of my neck.

Gaven was crying, I looked up at him. His face was blank, but he was crying. "Gaven?" He raised one eye brow and looked down at me, "Yeah?" "...I love you." He smiled, "I love you too." I heard footsteps and looked over at an entrance where The Watchers walked in. They all muttered to each other and left the room, except one that walked over to us. No one had ever seen a Watcher's face, and no one probably would. I looked at The Watcher and thne quickly jumped forward, ripping off its hood. "...Mom?"
