"Oh sorry theresa I didn't hear you"
"Whats wrong Luis, I haven't seen you this mad since,
well since you 1st met Sheridan.Is this about sheridan?""Why do you ask?"
"Because she's out there crying""Theresa, what are you talking about?"
"Sheridan is crying, I was getting ready to walk in
here when I heard someone crying, I walked closer to
the person and found Sheridan, so I asked her what waswrong"
"What did she say theresa, please tell me what did shesay?"
"She jumped back, and said I'm sorry then left""Sorry for what"
"I don't Luis, she just said that, and then got in her
car. She still might be there"
"No nevermind, forget Ii, forget I ever said anythingabout it, and her"
"What do you mean Luis, I like Sheridan she's a niceperson!"
'No she's not a nice person, and she deserved allthose guy's who used her."
"Luis, how dare you say those things!"
"Theresa you don't know the sheridan I just talkedto."
"So you made her cry Luis?""No, I mean Maybe, I mean uhhhhhhhh."
He hit the punching bag again"Look Luis i'm sorry, I'm going to leave"
"Fine! oh but Theresa don't say anything to mamma,PLEASE!"Ok fine I won't, bye"
Theresa left her brother there in confuion, confusion
about Sheridan, and confusion about what he was gonnasay to momma.
As theresa was walking out of the Youth Center, she
saw sheridan with her head on her stirring wheel, and
tears streaming down her face.
"Poor Sheridan, my brother can be such a Jack-Ass!"
Sheridan lifted her and was getting ready to turn on
her car when she saw theresa out of the corner of hereye.
"Shit, shit, shit, Theresa is gonna tell her brother
that I'm crying, and then he'll know that he got me
good! I'll make up something about why I'm crying"She rolled down her window
"Hi theresa" sheridan said trying to smile"Hi sheridan, are you ok?"
"Yeah I a, I a, shut my hand in the door, do you wanna
go to the book cafe with me and get som coffee?"
"Sure I'd love to, are sure your ok?""Yeah I'm ok get in"
There were driving to the book cafe and theresa could
tell she didn't shut her hand in the door, because
tears werestill coming, and she looked as if her hearthad just been crushed.
"2 coffee's please, said sheridan, so theresa how'slife?""Could be better, you?"
"Could be a lot better, everything seem's to purk up,
then fall right back down. but the hell with ourproblems how's school?"
"It's great, I have to make this dress for this really
stupid class, but since I get to design it's gonna begreat!"
"Tell me about your dress", said sheridan, this
talking was taking what luis has said off her mind.
"Well, I'm almost finished drawing it, but it's long
and strapless, I haven't picked out the color yet but
it's simple, yet very elegant!"
"Sounds great, I want to be one of the 1st to see itwhen your done."
"You and Luis, he loves it when I actully do something
instead of sit and daydream, but he's always soimpressed with what I can do!"
Just the mention of Luis's names brought tears tosheridan's eyes.
"Sounds like you've got it made, theresa"
"Are you ok sheridan you have tears in your eyesagain."
"oh, Theresa I'm sorry I'm gonna have to cut this
short, I just don't feel to great right now"
"Thats ok sheridan, don't worry about it, you probably
have more important things to do"
"It's not that theresa, I'm not trying to blow you off
or anything, I just to be alone for a while, do youwant me to take you home?"
"No I can walk""Don't be silly Theresa I'll run you home, anyway, I
wanna see your drawing of that dress"
"Good theresa said with a great big smile on her face,
you'll love this dress, maybe you can help me pick outthe color.""Ok, let's go"
When they got there Sheridan was looking around to seeif Luis's jeep was there"
"No Luis isn't here, theresa said""I was, I mean, I just, nevermind let's go in"
"Ok let's go in sheridan"They went inside, and sheridan was looking at theresa
design"Oh theresa, this is beautiful""Your not just saying that?"
"No I love it! I'm not a fashion designer or anything,
but I think this magnificent! Show this to Ivy andsee what she thinks"
Luis had just come home and had came in through the
kitchen, he heard voices and paused to see who it was.
"Really! You really like it"
"I'm serious Theresa, you have a true talent, you area very lucky girl"
"Oh sheridan Thank-you, but I shouldn'y get my hopes
up, luis would never let me......."
"Theresa this is your dream! If Luis really loves you,
which we know he does, he won't care.""Thank-you sheridan, thank-you!"
Theresa hugs sheridanTheresa goes into the kitchen to grab the the phone
when it rings"Hello? Hello? stupid people!""Theresa""who said that?"
"THeresa, it's me Luis""Luis, what are you doing?"
"I heard people talking then I relized it was sheridan
and you, I didn't know what to do so I just sortawaited here until she left"
"Why don't you just go talk to her Luis?"
"Because she's mad at me, for what reason I do not
know, and she'll scream at me if I try to talk toher."
"Theresa are you ok in there?" Yelled sheridan?"Yeah be right out"
"Luis just go in there""No theresa you don't get it Sherdan hates me and I,
I, I don't like her either!"" Luis Please!!!"
"Theresa are you alright?" Sheridan saw Luis andturned around to leave
"Sheridan wait" said Luis"Wait for what Luis? what you said on the dock really
hurt, I mean, I mean uhhh, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!Please!
She had tears in her eyes and couldn't find her coat
"Were is my coat?" she yelled"What do you mean what I said on the dock?
"I think I'll be going up stairs now," said theresa "Nothing Luis, nothing"
"No sheridan I want to know what you are talking
about, and I want to know now, he yelled!"
Sheridan flinched, she was not sure what to say there
was a long pause, and Luis took a step closer to her,they were 2 ft. apart.
"Sheridan, don't hit me but I want to know what I did
to make you feel so terribal at the dock, even though
I didn't say anything wrong"That last remark through Sheridan over the edge, her
tears were coming harder, but not enough to make her brake down sobbing.
"You didn't do anything? You didn't do anything? I
hate you Luis Lopez Fitzgerald, I hate you so much,
and I never want to see or hear you ever again!"
Sheridan started to walk out the door when Luisgrabbed her arm"Sheridan"
"don't touch me, she screamed and pulled away, "Why,
Why? What the F*** did I ever do to you?"
She pulled her arm back like she was going to hit himagain and luis grabbed her
"Sheridan, stop it, tell me what I did! and I'll letyou go.
Sheridan was shaking trying to get free, but no matter
what she tried Luis grip got tighter
"Sheridan, I'm stronger than you I hold on to you all
night if I have to, tell me now what I did!"
"Fine, but let me go1st, your hurting me Luis, your
hurting me" sheridan said all sympathetic"Oh sheridan I'm sorry!"
As soon as he put her down she ran for the door,
pulling a chair down behind her so he would trip.
"Sheridan help me I think I broke my arm!"
He was sitting on his knee's holding his right arm
"I hope you know I still hate you, she said walkingtowards him"
When she was about 1ft. away from him he said...
"Your not the only one who can act"
He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to the
ground she was kicking and hitting, so he pinned her
arms to the ground, and put his knee's on each side of
her wast so she couldn't get free.
"Sheridan I'm gonna ask you one more time, and if you
don't answer me I'm gonna call Ethan and ask him,
because he knows everything about you!""Luis, why are you doing this to me?"
"Doing what?""Putting me through this"
Sheridan's eyes weld up with tears, and she turned herhead to the side
"Sheridan please don't cry""You said I was a spoiled princess, you said you were
using me, and, and ,and, I HATE YOU!""Sheridan I never said.............
"Stop lying Luis, let me go!""NO sheridan, when did I say this, were did I say
this, and It wasn't me who said this!"
"Are you happy now, I told you why I am pissed, I
acted like I didn't care, but I did care, I cared
because I thought you were different than all those
other guys, I thought that there could maybe be a
chance for us, but your just like the others, and all
you care about is yourself!"Sheridan so wiggle and role back and forth, but Luis
wouldn't let goHe bent his head down and kissed her on the lips,
Sheridan was trying to push him off her but he still
had her wrists pinned down. She Kneed him, and hefell to the side in pain.
"Oh god Sheridan""Don't ever touch me again" she said with tears
streaming down her face."Theresa walks down stairs to see if sheridan is still
there."Oh my god Luis are you all right?""Yeah, Yeah, just can't seem to breath"
"What happend? what did you do to sheridan?"
"What did I do to Sheridan? Nothing!""Then why did she knee you?"
"I, well I, I kinda""Well come on what did you do?"
"I pinned her down on the floor, to find out whathappened, oh and kissed her"
"What did she say when she left?""She said: Don't ever touch me again"
"Thats it?""Well she was crying pretty hard, but I don't think
that means anything.""You don't that means anything? you idiot! Come On
Luis, she liked you a lot, and what ever you did yoher...."
"I didn't do anythig!!!""OK, well what ever happened she was really hurt!
When you kissed her she thought that you were still
using her or something in the sort of deal!" It alladd's up!"
"What? Theresa I'm lost""Ok to make a long explenation short she thinks that
you are just using her to get your way?"
"But I'm not theresa, I would never hurt Sheridan,well not on purpose!"
"Then tell her, don't let her interupt you or anything just come out and say it!"

Sheridan drove home in a rage, she felt as if she had
been used and everything she had dreamed for her selfhad went up in smoke!
As soon as she got home she ran to the couch, andbegan to cry even more.
All of a sudden there was a loud knock at the door.
"Leave me alone" she yelled, not knowing who it was
and not caring who it was either.
"Sheridan let me in Please! yelled Luis "Sheridan Ireally need to talk to you!
Sheridan got up and walked closer to the door, butnever opening it.
"What do you want, Yelled Sheridan, oh let me guess,
let's see you, could hurt my feelings even more, or
with the force I've gotten today from you I wouldn't
be suprised if you tried to rape me officer!
"Sheridan I would never mean to hurt you, at least not
on purpose, and I'm telling you I never said anything
about you being a "Spoiled Princess" or "using you"I'm serious Sher.
"Stop lying Luis, and for your information my name is
SHERIDAN, as in Sheridan Crane, and to tell you the
truth officer I think your on Crane property!
"Sheridan Crane open this god damn door right now!"
yelled Luis, feeling as if he were ready to brake downthe door.
Sheridan was taken back by his words, she had all of a
sudden gotten scared, as if Luis was going to do
somthing crazy, like bust down her door.

"Sheridan I'm gonna ask you this simple question, and
please don't yell at me until you hear me out""Luis I......"
"Shut-up Sheridan! I want to know word for word what
happened, to make you so mad at me!""Because you said........"
"Sheridan I didn't say that though, and I want to knowwhy you think I would?"
"Luis I was standing behind you, I was there, I heard
you say it, why can't you just tell me the truth" shesobbed?
"Sherisdan I am telling you the truth I didn't say
anything to hurt you like that, Please don't cry"!
"Luis will you leave I just really need to think, and
your not helping me by lying!""Sheridan, But I'm not......."
"LeaVE!!" She screamed, choking on her own words"
"Fine bye", he said with his arms up in the air
10 min. after Luis left there was a knock at her door.
"What does he want now" she thought, feeling her self
becoming very mad, "Oh Julian what to do want?"
"Is that anyway to talk to you brother, sheridan?""Bite-Me Julian"
"Aren't we fiesty today, oh is this about the officerwho broke your heart?""No"
"Well I was just wandering how my heart-broken sister
was feeling after Luis called her a "Spoiled Princess"
"It's none of your concern Julian......How dod you
know that Luis and I are fighting"?"I a, Ummmmmm IVy told me"
"Ivy doesn't know Julian, tell me how you know and Iwant the truth!!!"
"I have not a clue what your talking about Sheridan"
Julian said tying to act all inocent.
"You had something to do with this Julian didn't you!
and don't say you didn't because I know you want tokeep us apart!"
All of a sudden the phone rang and sheridan went to
answer it. Julian ran out the door before she had a
chance to tell him to stay put."HELLO" she almost yelled.
"Sheridan it's Hank, do you wanna go out tonight?
"No, Hank I know you mean well, but to tell you the
truth I really don't like you and I just want to befriends!"
She hung up the phone before he had time to say
anything. SHe went back into the living room to yell
at Julian when she found he had left."Damn him" she yelled
It was only 8:00 but sheridan was ready for bed. As
shy was lying down she started to think taht had
happened in the past week. Then she got stuck on that
laugh had on the dock, it was a so not luis laugh. It
was so deep, and almost evil.
Then she got stuck on Luis not having a clue why she
was mad, it was like he was a great actor, or hereally didn't know.
But everything seemed to point to Julian, how does he
know all this she though? How does he know?

"Don't worry about it" said sheridan, her voice shaking. "It's really jammed!" Luis said "Yeah it really is" agreed Sheridan, turning her head to face the window, because she knew she was turning red.

High and mighty" she said (studdering) "Please don't

"get your god d*** hands off my aunt" yelled Ethanwalking out the door.
"Ethan" Sheridan said startledLuis let go of Sheridans arm"I'm sorry" said Luis
Ethan began to walk towards Luis "If you ever lay a
hand on my aunt again I'll...."

"But Sheridan I, he could of, I mean...."
"Luis will you please leave now" Sheridan saidpreocupied with Ethan.

Chapter 8:
After Sheridan finished her sentence Luis walked in tothe Book Cafe with Hank. "Hey Guy's what can I get for you" asked Beth smiling at Luis. Sheridan walks towards the front desk and tells the girl, who is not Beth what she wants. "Umm.. How about a blue Berry.."
"How about a blue berry muffin." They say in unison
"Oh hi Sheridan" said Beth, not making eye contact
(In this story Beth totally hates Sheridan, and gives
her anything but the time of day)
"Hi" said Sheridan happily (why doesn't Beth like meshe thought) "Looks like you and Luis ordered they same thing. And according to what I've heard, you 2 usually get into a fight about it" said Hank trying to make conversation with Sheridan. "Yeah it's been known to happen" Luis said staring deep into Sheridan's eye's like he could see wright through her. "Yeah" she agreed, trying to avoid his eye contact but it was weighing on her like a thousand pounds. "Here" said Beth shoving a bag into Sheridan's face "Oh I'm sorry" said Beth smiling
"Beth I'm trying no to start a fight" began Sheridan " but is there a reason, any reason at all for you not liking me?" Luis's face had a huge smile planted on it, Beth had always treated Sheridan like this, but now she was standing up to her.
"Whoa lady's" said Hank "this isn't Springer" "Oh God Hank can't you leave you stupid comments to yourself" said Luis. Now Sheridan had a smile on her face
"Well" began Beth "I don't admire the way you prance
around every where thinking your miss high and mighty, and your not" "Oh, ok I get it" said sheridan "so you don't like me because I act like everyone loves me, and I have everyone wrapped aroung my finger, right?"
"Yes" said Beth giving Sheridan a hateful look
Luis was out in the blue, he didn't know were sheridan was going with this.
"Ok, so you don't like how I act towards people, so now let me tell you what I think of you" start Sheridan getting closer to Beth
Luis's smile was back on his face. "I think your little act is working, but do you mind if a reveal it?"
"What?" asked Beth
"Well You think you have everyone wrapped around your finger the way you say "Luis can you please help me" and "Sheridan is just little Bitch, who wants to rip. Apart Luis's life so she can feel better about herself, I was there Beth I heard, and Let me just tell you that I'm sick and Tired of your little Games, and as of tommorrow I probably won't see you again! She got closer to beth's face, EVER!" (In this story Sheridan heard Beth say this to some gut at the Bar when she went to the bar with Luis)
"Well I for one am glad" said Beth as Sheridan turned around to walk away "Oh, and sheridan," Beth said as Sheridan turned around
"Here's my fare well's" with that Beth leaned down and
kissed Luis full, like Luis had never expected. Sheridan was stunned she didn't know what to do, she
wanted to turn and walk away, yet she wanted to cry.
"Oh, ok, stuttered Sheridan, I'm gonna leave now" Luis was also in the blue he wanted to yell at Beth for hurting Sheridan, yet he wanted to kiss her again to make sheridan Jealous, but he didn't like beth at all!!!!!!
"That was weird" hank said Ethan saw Sheridan walk out the door and followed her, then he saw Luis walk out the door following her
"What did you do now Luis?" Ethan said. "Nothing Crane, but my stupid so called friend did" "What?" asked Ethan confused "I'll talk to you later I have to catch up with Sheridan" practicly running out the door to find Sheridan.

she rode with Ethan. She leaned up against his car and
took a deep breath. Then she began to walk back inside
to find Ethan. But as she began to walk back someoneran into her.
"Oh.. I'm sorry" began Luis, then he relized it wasSheridan. "It's fine.." said Sheridan, then relized she had ran into Luis.
"Were you looking for me?" asked Luis smiling "Why would I be?" replied sheridan coldly "That was a little harsh" said Luis. Sheridan tried to walk past him, but he moved in front of her. "Can I ask you were you going?" said Luis.

Chapter 10:
"I'm going back in to tell Ethan I need to leave"
replied Sheridan trying to get past Luis again.
"Do you want me to take you?" asked Luis smiling
"I'd rather walk" she said turning back to go toEthan's car.
As Sheridan crossed the street, Luis held back a sec.then followed her.
"Hey Sheridan, wait up" yelled Luis
As he began to cross the street a car came from around
the corner. (Pretend it was like a teenager or
something who was going really fast)
Sheridan turned around and saw the car coming, butLuis didn't.
"WATCH OUT" she screamed, and ran and pushed Luis out
of the way. Falling on top of him.
Sheridan had hit her head on the cement, when she fell
to the ground, and was sorta out of it.
"Oh my god Sheridan are you ok?" said Luis rubbing
Sheridan's cheek with his thumb," Please saysomething!"
"Ouch!" said Sheridan, her eye's parshaly open, "My
head hurts and I think I just broke my Butt bone!"
"Oh thank god your Ok!" said Luis, chuckling a little.
"That's the 1st time you've saved me instead of mesaving you."
"Yeah" she said agreeing, and laughing a little, "But
will you please get off me and help me up?"
"OH I'm so sorry" he said helping her up, and wrapping
his right arm aroung her waist. "Are you sure your ok?
Do you want me to take you to the hospital orsomething?"
"Luis... I'm fine! just a little bump on me headthat's all""Promise" said Luis
"Promise" said Sheridan smiling, not even relizing how
much she thought hated Luis."At least let me take you inside to get an Ice pack"
said Luis"Actually That would really help, I have a throbbing
head ache!" said sheridan rubbing her head
"OK, come on" said Luis, still having his arm wrapped around her waist.
As they walked back in the book cafe, luis told
Sheridan to sit down in the chair he pull's out, andgoes to get an Ice pack.
When he comes back, he sit's across from Sheridan
"Here, Sheridan" he say's handing her the ice pack"Thanks"
"Sheridan, you don't look to good are you alright?"
asked Luis with a concerned face, and reaches out tohold her other hand.
"YEah, I'm fine I just, well I...., just feel really
dizzy." she said, looking as if she could faint.
"Sheridan...." but before he could finish his
sentencen she started to fall out of her chair, but
Luis caught her in time. "Sheridan I'm taking you tothe hospital!"
"No, Luis I'm fine" she said but before Luis could
argue back, she had passed out.
At the hospital the docter was cheking Sheridan's head
as Luis waited outside. Then Ethan comes in, and see'sLuis.
"What did you do to my aunt" yelled Ethan
"Nothing" replied Luis still starring at the ground.
Ethan was suprised by this, he thought Luis would atleast yell back.
"Ohh..ok" said Ethan sitting next to him "Is shealright, asked Ethan?"
"I'm not sure, they haven't said anything to me yet.
"Oh, I called my mother so she will get hear soon."said Ethan.
After sitting there in complete silence for about 2
min. Ethan couldn't hold the question down any longer.
"Luis, I'm trying not to get mad and clobber you, but
I have to ask you a question"
"What is it" asked Luis, getting ready if Ethan wasgonna hit him.
"why did you hurt SHeridan like that?"
"Like what?" he had not a clue what he was tlkingabout.
"Don't play dumb Luis!" said Ethan, "What you said onthe wharf, that night!!!"
Just as Luis was gonna answer him, Ivy walk's in.
"ummmm.. Luis I really need to talk to you" said Ivy.

Chapter 11:
"Yeah sure Ivy what is it? asked Luis, walking around
the corner with Ivy, but at that moment the Dr. cameout. "I'll be with you in a min. Ivy" said Luis
"When she hit her head she got a concusion, and she
didn't know it until she sat down" stated the docter
"IS she gonna be alright" asked Luis" getting into the doctor's face "Yeah, she'll be fine, she's sleeping right now, but when she wakes up you can take her home" replied the doctor. Just then IVY walks back into the room.
"LUIS! please come here!!" said Ivy "Ivy, what do you need?" asked Luis, wanting to goback and see Sheridan
"You know how Sheridan has been acting, well actinglike a real b****?" "Yeah" said Luis confused" Well I found this"

Chapter 12:
"What is this" ask's Luis taking the mask from Ivy
"This is why Sheridan is mad at you"! said Ivy
"I don't get it" said Luis confused. "Julian and Alistar hired a man to act like you, while
Sheridan was listening, and well he said some really
mean and hurtful things and Sheridan was crushed" stated Ivy. "Spoiled Princess" said Luis
"What" asked Ivy"We were fighting and she told me that I had alled her a spoiled Princess" ended Luis "I have to talk to her and tell her, can I borrow this mask Ivy?""sure, but why?" asked Ivy "I want to show it to her, and explain it to her by myself, face to face" said Luis and walking away "Good luck" yelled Ivy "Your gonna need it" she thought
1/2 an hr later Luis got to see Sheridan, because he
had to wait until she woke up, and then the doctor hadto make sure she was ok. "Hey Sherry" said Luis sitting next to her "My name is Sheridan, that's what it say's on my birth certifacite (or however you spell it) so that's my name" she replied codly, and began playing with her nail's "Sheridan,what you hurd on the wharf, that wasn't me, I SWEAR, I would never mean to hurt you" said Luis
"Luis, go spread your lie's to someone else, I'm notin the mood" said Sheridan "Sheridan, I can prove to you, that I didn't say those things" said Luis "Oh god luis, SPARE ME, please" said Sheridan,beginning to get up from her bed "Sheridan, Lay down" said Luis concerned "You mighthurt yourself" "Luis your bothering me, leave!" said Sheridan pulling
her blankets away from her leg's.
"Sheridan your so stubbern!" said Luis getting up from
the chair, and began to walking to the door "You have such an Ego", said Sheridan jumping up from the bed "You have no room to talk Luis!" "Crane's" he relied throughing his hands in the air! "Can you not use my last name for everything!" she said "It's bad enough to be one, but you don't have to remind me every 5 second's" she yelled "I'm sorry Sheridan, I didn't mean to hurt you" he said
"What did you come here for any way?" asked Sheridan,as she sat back on the bed "Sheridan I need to tell you something, and please don'tsay anything until I'm finished, Please!" said Luis "Shoot" said Sheridan, sitting indian style, looking at Luis with her beautiful blue eye's "God Sheridan your beautiful!" he said, then starring at the floor, because he didn't want to say that out loud.
"OH, she said blushing, because she didn't know what else to say.
There was a long uncomfortable pause in the room
"I'm sorry didn't mean to say that out loud" said Luisstarring at the ground. All Sheridan could do was smile, and Luis saw this "But I ment it" he said "but I still have something to tell you" "Ok', she said, still smiling

Chapter 13:
"1st I wanted to ask you about when I called you a"spoiled princess" said Luis Sheridan's smile quickly faded "What about it" shesaid codly? "Was there anything that didn't seem to be me?" he asked trying to make eye contact, but she was looking away.
"Does it matter?" she said "Yes, because now I know why you re mad at me" he said smiling.
"Oh, I see" she said "Now THAT YOU HAVE FIGURED IT OUT
you think it's funny? because I sure as Hell don'tthink it is?" "Sheridan, It wasn't me on the wharf that night, I mean I was the one who kissed you, but I didn't say I was gonna use you, and I didn't call you a SPOILED PRINCESS!" "Sure, Luis I believe you!" she said sarcasticly "Prove it Luis!, Prove it wasn't you!""Gladly" He said. Sheridan's face quickly turned into a confused look
He pulled out the mask and gave it to her
"What is this" she said turning the mask around
"Julian and Alistar hired a man to impersonate me, and
it was fixed so you would hear all that stuff!"
"How did you find out" she said almost in a whisper
staring at the mask in her lap, and trying to hideback tear's "Ivy, she found it and she heard Julian talking to your father. I'm so sorry Sheridan!!!" "I should of known" she began "Ever since I can remember I was never meant to be happy!""What" he said
"My father, and Brother, there self centered, and ever
since I was little everything I had that brought some
joy to my life, they've ruined it!""What do you mean" he said "This probably sounds stupid, but when I was sixteen I got a dog for my birthday, From my aunt Annette, my mom's sister, he was so cute it was a golden retriever, and I named him Sammy. To make a long story short, my father took him away." "Well maybe he had a good reason Sherry, I mean Sheridan" "Ok, here's another one My father and brother had my
best friend, Lily, sent to New York. They did the same
thing they did to you, They got a job offer for her"
"But Sheridan you don't know if it was them."
(In this story sheridan didn't kill nyone, and she never thought she did)
"Ok, Luis when my mother died, they didn't send me to
a boarding school, they sent me to a psychatric ward,
and I was there for 5 yr.'s. Now that probably doesn't
sound very long, but you've never been there, they
tell you certain thing's to scare you, like I was the
reason my mother died, and I was the bad seed in our
family." said Sheridan hugging her knee's an she had
tear drop's flowing, but not a lot.
"Sheridan, I'm so sorry, I alway's thought you had an
easy life, and you had everything you wanted, and I
want you to know, that I would never use you, in any
way!" said Luis holding Sheridan's hand. Sheridan looked at him her eye's all red, and hugged him, nd began to cry. "Shhhh.... Sheridan, it's ok."

"Sherry your perfect in every way, and for Julian and
