That day after school. Lukas finds Amber. The darkest of them all. Standing next to her locker. For days now. She has not uttered a word. And he feels bad.

He knows how much she is suffering.

"Come. Let me walk you home." Lukas says. She tries to speak. To say yes to him. But she cannot. Her voice is lost. She is still in tears. She turns to him and hugs him. He lets her cry on his shoulder.

Then leads her way out of the school gate. He holds her hand. And she does not pull away. Her tears fade slowly. Until they are no more.

And for the first time in her life. Amber William. She is able to feel comfort like never felt before. She feels safe. She looks into his eyes. As they walk home together. And feels his soul. As he shows his happiness. With that beautiful face of his.

And Lukas Scottville. The perfect of them all. He feels something. Joy he has never felt before. The air is sweet. The road is silent. And everything else seems to have vanished.

Until they part ways. Everyone to go their own way.
