I wandered into the park and took a seat on an empty park bench. It felt nice to get out of my apartment and to get some fresh air. The weather was a little chilly, but with a jacket it wasn't too bad. I leaned back and closed my eyes. What was I going to do about this whole Dillon thing? I didn't know if I could get over what I saw...ever.

I decided to go for a walk through the park. The bodyguards were keeping a safe distance so they weren't seen. I hated having protection. I sat down on a bench and looked over at the girl next to me. She looked sad.

"Are you alright?"

I looked up at the sound of a voice and realized that the young man was speaking to me. I wondered how long he had been standing there because I was really out of it; chalk that up to all of the horrible things that had been happening to me and those whom I cared about.

"Not really."

I admitted with a sigh. I had no energy to come up with a good lie or a cover story; the truth was going to have to do.

"Am I in your way?"

I asked and looked around. I wondered if he was waiting for someone at this bench.

"No, you're fine," I told her. "I really don't know anyone in Westland. I just got into town this afternoon, actually. You're not waiting for someone, are you?"

I shook my head and sighed softly. I wasn't waiting for anyone whatsoever. Dillon was still in the hospital and even if he weren't, I don't know if I could be around him right now. I definitely wouldn't be waiting for LuLu, since I disliked her, or my brother, since I practically disowned him. I was basically on my own right now, which wasn't the end of the world; people did have it worse than I did.

"I am just trying to sort some things out while getting some fresh air."

I explained. So far, I hadn't figured out a single thing and that was not what I wanted. I desperately needed to sort out this entire mess with Dillon.

"I understand," I replied. "I'm trying to figure things out, too."

Like why my dad lets his bodyguards raise me instead of trying to be a father. Sometimes I think his business is more important to him than I am.

"Life sure does suck at times, doesn't it?"

I asked him with a heavy sigh. I couldn't believe how my once 'perfect' life resulted in this mess. I was so happy with Dillon and than Jack had to go and ruin it.

"I normally never do this, but maybe telling each other what is going on and giving the other some advice might help."

"Alright," I said as I took a deep breath. "My dad's always too busy running his business to spend time with me. He's always sticking with me guards and stuff, constantly keeping me under surveillance. I think you're the first real person I've seen in a while that doesn't work for my dad."

"Meeting me might not be a good thing right now because I am a total wreck."

I replied with a sigh. I felt bad for him because it must really be terrible to be stuck with a bunch of guards all of the time.

"I don't want you to get hurt or anything, but have you tried asking your father to let you out so you can meet some people and have a little fun?"

"I haven't talked to my dad in a few months," I told her. "I don't even know where he is right now. All he does is tell his guards what to do and send me money."

"Have you ever considered ditching your guards for a little while to get some time to yourself?"

I asked with a simple shrug. I didn't want him to actually do this and then something bad happen to him, but I was just curious to see if he actually considered it before.

"I probably would have done so already if the roles were reversed."

"What's the point?" I asked. "Even if I did manage to lose the guards, what would I do? I don't know anyone here, or know what kind of things there are to do."

I bit my lip and then got an idea. I needed a distraction from the whole mess of Dillon and since this guy didn't know anyone, perhaps I could show him around town.

"Well, you know someone now."

I stuck my hand out for him to shake.

"I'm Abby Deveraux."

"Devon Chase," I said as I shook her hand. "So, what is there to do in this town that's worth ditching the guards?"

I dropped his hand and thought about his question. This town wasn't all that big, so it wasn't like there was a ton of things to do. Coming up with something worthwhile took a minute.

"There is this cool bowling alley here. I am not very good at bowling, but I have a good time attempting to bowl."

I replied with a smile. There was also the movie theater, so if he wasn't into bowling, there was that.

"That sounds like fun," I told her. "I'm actually pretty good at bowling. My mother used to take me bowling when I was younger."

"Well, you'll most definitely wipe the floor with me, but I really don't mind."

I replied with a laugh. Given the fact that he was pretty good at bowling and I was...well not, he would definitely be the winner between the two of us. Hopefully he didn't mind having to put up with a beginner bowler.

"So, how about it? Would you like to go bowling with me?"

"Sounds great," I told her. "We just have to ditch the guards. Any ideas?"

I took a couple of seconds to try and come up with a good way to ditch Devon's guards. I never had to ditch anybody, let along a group of trained professionals, so I needed to come up with a really good idea for this.

"Losing them in a crowd of people usually works in the movies. Perhaps we can do that."

"I like the way you think," I replied with a smile. "Come on, let's go."

I couldn't believe I was about to do this, but there was something about Abby that I liked enough to do this.

I stood up from the bench that we had been sitting on and smiled. This was going to be totally cool; I'd feel like I were in one of those many movies that I had seen that done this sort of thing.

"Meeting you definitely made my day a lot better. I've never ditched someone before, so this is really exciting."

I took her hand and smiled.

"Just hang on," I said as we started to run. I could see the guards start to follow us, but if we could get to a large enough crowd, we could lose them.

I managed to keep up with Devon and we soon headed towards a large crowd of people in the downtown area. This was out perfect opportunity to lose the guards. I ducked into a small store, pulling Devon with me. When I saw what appeared to be guards run past the window in the direction that they thought we were running in, I couldn't help but smile.

"That wasn't too hard."

"My dad doesn't hire bodyguards for their brains," I said with a laugh. "So, shall we go to the bowling alley?"

"Yes, we shall."

I replied with a bright smile. I thought it was really cool how we managed to ditch the guards like we did. Now we had the entire afternoon to bowl and enjoy ourselves.

"Follow me,"

I walked out of the store and started towards the bowling alley.
