Chapter 1-
There he was, sitting all alone on the Empire State building. Brooke grew up in New York and The Empire State Building was perfectly seeable from her window view. This mysterious boy had brown hair that ran across his hazel eyes and came down to his shoulders. He had light tan skin that complemented his freckles. He wasn't wearing the nicest of clothes though. he had on a pair of jeans with alot of holes in them and a ratty black t-shirt. he put his hands on his face and looked down. He then looked up and ended gazing straight at me. Oh No, I thought. He saw me. Brooke ducked. She was your normal 13 year old. Well, she wasn't exactly normal. She had a secret. A big secret. But noone knew her secret. She kept it safe, very safe. Besides that secret she was normal. Brooke had light blonde hair, light tan skin, and ocean blue eyes. She was 5'3. As she got up and looked out the window, he was still staring at her. he smiled and on instinct she smiled back. He had a really cute smile. Brooke saw a man walk up to him. They started screaming at each other. NO, I wont let this man hurt him, Brooke thought. SHe grabbed a jacket and ran out to the empire Stare Building. She ran up all the flights of stairs to get to the very top. She screamed and jumped in front of the boy. " No don't hurt him. He didn't Do anything." Brooke screamed. The man turned around and walked off. The boy sat down. " Now why'd you do that?" He asked Brooke."Because...Well, I don't know why." She responded. He looked at her. " Well you shouldn't of. I'm perfectly fine on my own." He said as he got up and started to walk away. " Wait! Look, I don't know why I did that. My mind just told me to. Cut me some slack. It's early in the morning, My hair is a mess, and I'm still in my pajamas. I came to try and save you!" Brooke screamed behind him. He stopped walking and turned and walked back. " Let's talk." Brooke took a seat next to him. " Well I'm Joe...Joe Bradley." He said facing her. "Well Joe Bradley, I am Brooke Vandergo." Brooke said smiling. "Hm, nice name. im 16 and your what 13?" he asked. She nodded. We talked more. " Hey i forgot to tell you. I have a secret! A big one. Here, I wanna tell you it. Push me off the building. Come on. Just do it." He said. Brooke was scared. Did he want her to try and kill him? "Brooke Marie Vandergo get your butt back to this house." Brooke heard her mother scream. " Tell me another day. 897-1134. Call me. Bye Joe." She said then quickly ran home. Brooke walked into the door and put her jacket up. " Why were you on top of the Empire State Building? And who was that boy?" Her mom asked. "Mom, chill. I dont know. I just dont know." Brooke said wlaking up the stairs. She screamed that she was going out to do errands. RING! RING! RING! The phone id said: Bradley, Joe. "OMG! The was fast." Brooke said. SHe let it go to voicemail. "Um I'm Calling for Brooke Vandergo. Well, if your there pick up. I want you to meet me On the top of The empire state building in one hour. Thanks, Bye." She heard his voice say. The phone said " YOu now have 1 new Message. Press 1 to.." She pressed 7 and deleted it. Brooke looked at the clock. It read: 10:00 A.M. In one hour she had to be ready. So she spent the next hour getting ready. She picked up a piece of paper and wrote:

Brooke grabbed her jacket and put on her Converse's. They were her favorite pair of shoes. They were brown with pink polka-dots. Totally Brooke. She closed and locked the door. She walked slowly up the steps to the top of the Empire State building. Brooke took a look at New York. It looked so beautiful from this view. " Hey, I was hoping you would come. Were you there when I called? I had a feeling you where." Joe said walking up behind her. " Yes, Im glad I came to. And yes I was there when You called. Sorry that I didn't pick up though." Brooke said. He said it was okay. "So tell me about yourself." he told Brooke. "Well my name is Brooke Marie Vandergo. I was born in New York. Ive lived here for 13 years. My favorite animal is a dog and my favorite wild animal is a fox. My favorite color is Pink. My favorite food is Alfredo and my favorite candy Is Reeses Peanut Butter cups.

"So about that secret." He said. " Look, I don’t want to know it. Why do you trust me so much? We just met this morning and you’ve acted like we’ve known each other our whole life." Brooke said. "Look, I don’t know why I trust you so much. My mind just tells me to. Just like you didnt know why you came and saved me. My mind tells me to tell you my secret. but I will wait until your ready." "Well thats nice of you. So what school do you go to?" Brooke asked. "Meadow Hill High School. I’m in the 10th grade," he said. "OMG. Me too. I skipped two grades. Because im smart like that." she said. He smiled at her and laughed. "Because your smart like that?" He asked. Brooke nodded. She felt comfortable around this boy. "So who was that man that was screaming at you earlier?" Brooke asked. "OH him....His name is Terry Snodgrass. He is accusing me of trying to kill his wife, Virginia Snodgrass. but I didn’t try to kill her, she tried to kill me! so I called 911 and ran up here." he explained. "Interesting. You know, I have a secret too. A big secret. Noone knows it. Only me. i haven’t told anyone. Not even my mom. so in a way, i protect that secret." Brooke said when everything was still and quiet. " Oh, so you do have a secret. well, Its probably nothing like mine. It’s not like you have this Big, huge secret where if it got out everyone would be questioning you." he said. "Well that’s where you are wrong. i would be questioned. A lot. But its not going to get out. And it is a big, huge secret." Brooke said. "Hey.
