Thank you for being nothing but sweet in your feedback, I'm really happy that I'm writing again and I have you all to thank. For this chapter I'm back to writing in Fahad's P.O.V.

Previously...                        

I went up to her, helped her off the floor and moved her away from the crowd that was now all walking back towards the school since recess was over. I held the still crying girl into a warm hug ensuring her "I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you as long as I'm around." She put her head on my shoulder and from that moment on, I knew I was responsible for this girl.

I held on to her for what seemed like eternity. None of us saying anything and just stood there in the middle of the courtyard in each other's arms. I looked down and realized we were 10 minutes late to class.

"Hey if we don't go now we'll get in trouble for sure…" I said softly not to startle her.

She looked up at me, wiped her tears off and just walked away without saying anything. WHAT?! After helping her and caring, not even a single thank you?? By now she reached the entrance of the school and disappeared behind the doors. I guess some people aren’t worth helping.

I decided to just go to my class and confront her later but she wasn't there. I looked for her everywhere to get an explanation but she was nowhere to be found.

The next day I came to school and we had English class together third period. As I entered the class I saw her sitting at the back in the same spot as the day before and the only two empty seats were next to her or the seat on the other side of the room… I chose the far away seat. Throughout the class I'd look over at her when she wasn't paying attention just to admire her. I know I'm supposed to be mad at her for doing what she did but I can't deny the fact that she might as well be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Where do I even start?

At first glance she seemed like a normal girl but while I was sitting there several feet away from her, I realized just how beautiful she was. There was just something unreal about her. Her face was somewhat luminous and her eyes were like drops of heavenly chocolate. One glance and she'd make you hers.

"Mr. Fahad…. Would you care to repeat what I just said?" (Dont you just hate it when teachers do that?)

I snap out of my trance and realize the whole class was looking at me and boy did I turn all shades of red!

"Oh em… I'm sorry miss but I wasn't paying attention." I confessed.

"This is your first warning, next time you'll be sent out of class" I tried to pay attention as much as I could for the rest of the period until it was break time and I went straight to the furthest table from anyone and everyone. I wanted to be alone.

Just as I was about to zone out again, I see her at the other side of the courtyard looking at me. When she saw me see her she started to walk over. A million things started going through my head – What am I gonna say to her? Am I gonna tell her how I felt after she left without even saying a thank you? Is she gonna apologize? Before I had any time to answer any of those questions she was standing on the other side of the bench.

"Can I sit?"

"Sure… "I replied without looking at her

"Listen, I know it was wrong of me to leave without thanking you yesterday. What you did was probably the sweetest and kindest thing anyone has ever done for me."

"Ok."

"I understand if you don't want to talk to me but can you just answer one thing for me? Why? Why did you help me? You don’t know me, why would you risk getting into a fight to help me?"

"It was the right thing to do." I answered coldly. 

"Can I tell you something I've never told anyone before?"

"Sure…"

"I lost my best friend to a car accident last year and have been going through a phase of depression. I didn't trust anyone, and my friend, Sarah, was the one that was always there for me. She used to tell me she loved me, tell me how beautiful I am or how important I am just to make me happy and when I lost her…. I lost all confidence in myself. But yesterday I woke up and decided it was time to change. I no longer wanted to be that depressed girl that barley talks to anyone and what you did showed me that there is still good in this world. I want you to see this." She rolled up her sleeves and there were scars near the center of her arm "I used to do this to escape the pains of the world. It was either this or…"

I looked up at her. Not saying a word… waiting for her to continue but she just stopped.

That's when she just got up and left.

I got home that day and repeated what she told me in my mind…

"Should I tell her?" I thought "is she the one I tell about this? I mean… someone should know and she did trust me with her secret..." I finally decided " I'm gonna tell her."

I opened up my laptop and went on the school website. I logged on using the individual username and passwords we were given and looked through the list of names until I found her full name "Noura Hamad Al-X" and right next to it was her facebook link. I clicked it and was redirected to her page. I knew it was hers because I saw that beautiful face in the display picture. I click 'Send a message' and began typing.

"Hey I think I need to tell you something…"
