It was almost ten o'clock whenever Heather finally awoke from her slumber. There was no particular reason why she had slept so long, except for the simple fact that she had stayed up until three just thinking. Nothing in particular had crossed her mind, but she just couldn't sleep. She had been worried about cheerleading this year. About whether or not she would actually make Co-Captain. No matter what anyone told her, she still worried.
Once she had taken a shower, brushed her hair, and put on her daily make-up, Heather left the home she shared with Carmen. Heather figured Carmen was still sleeping so she decided not to bother her. With a cute skirt and a pink tee on, Heather strolled down the street heading to the Patch.
Her smile beamed as she passed Gloria's Boutique. Heather smiled and thought to herself, I'll have to stop there later. Her eyes wandered the grounds as she walked. There wasn't a soul in sight, but then again, it being a Saturday, most people were sleeping. Heather just shrugged and walked on. She reached the Patch and walked straight to the edge, where a bunch of trees covered a small river. This spot was Heather's 'Get-Away Place'. No one, not even Carmen or Winter, knew about this place. Sure, people had probably stumbled upon it, but they didn't know that this place was where Heather spent a lot of her time.
With a drawing pad in one hand and a pen in the other, Heather planned to design some more clothes for her line, once it gets up and running. In the meantime, she just doodled and the Get-Away Place was the perfect place to do so. When she got there, she found a surprise...she wasn't alone.

Craig was sat on the grass thinking about what had happened, he was deeply in thought and didn't even realise he had been joined. He was trying to figure out how he had acctually stumpled across Winter nad....him. He shuddered slightly just at the thought!

At first Heather didn't notice who it was. He seemed to be from the West Side with the way his clothes were and all, but she couldn't tell who it was. Stepping closer, carefully in case it was someone who would hurt her, Heather finally realized who it was. "Jeesh, Craigo. For a minute I didn't know who you was." Heather and Craig had been secret friends for a while. She had never told Winter because, well, around her Heather acted as though she hated the West Side. She really didn't have anything against them, but she didn't know how Winter would react to the news. Heather took a seat next to Craig and placed her drawing pad and pen on her lap. "What you up to?"

Craig looked up at the sound of a voice, his face stricen for a monet. Then it transformed into a warm smile. "So it's my little Heather!" He sat up so he was not on his back anymore. They had been friends for a while and hand't told anyone, he hadn't even told Nathan! Which was a biig change! But, now he was strating to feel different about her, although he pushed that to the back of his mind whenever she was around. "Nothing much, really. Just thinking. What's brought you to the patch?"

Heather smiled and held up her drawing pad. "Wanted to get away from Carmen and maybe just get-away from everything." Nothing major had happened yet this year, but maybe that was because the year had only begun. School hadn't started yet, but once it did, Heather knew there would be a bunch of fighting going on. "What you thinking about?"

He picked a blade of grass and ran in through his fingers. He was unsure weather or not she new about what had happpened to Winter. "Do, you urm." he apused, unable to explain himself properly. "Know what happened to Winter?"

Heather nodded her head. "She told me she got raped, but nothing more. How do you know about it?" Heather asked. She didn't know that Craig was also friends with Winter so this just confused her. Heather thought Winter hated the West Side.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I heard a few of the guys talking about it and I was worried it mighta been you or your sister!" He smiled lightly. Trying to hide the truth from her. But, he wasn't the best of liars.

Heather raised an eyebrow at Craig's lie. She didn't question it, because Heather was still trying to recover from just hearing it, but she would just have to talk to Winter about it later. "I heard you got into it with Joe. Why do you guys always fight? I mean, Joe's a great guy and so are you. Why must you fight?" That was Heather. Always trying to find a better solution to people's problems. Heather smirked at the thought of Joe though. She hadn't been able to get him out of her head in....a while. She didn't know how Craig would react if she told him this, because she knew Craig hated Joseph with a passion, but she couldn't tell anyone really. Guess she just had to deal with her feelings on her own time.

Craig smirked slightly and felt his face for the marks. Yep, there they were. The fat lip and black eye. Not counting the bandage over his fist where he'd punched him. "MAybe too you he's a great guy! But I see him in another, very different light!"

"Why is he so horrible to you? I mean, why do you think he's so bad?" Heather asked, trying to defend Joe. He was her friend and she cared. They both were. But Heather couldn't talk to Joe about Craig without him wanting to punch something. Maybe there was a different side to Joe that she hadn't seen.....or maybe it was Craig with the different side.

He sighed slightly, he couldn't exactly turn arond and tell her all the things that had become between them. The fact that Joe things Craig raped Winter, and so many more that he dosen't even want to remember. He looked at Heather and smiled warmly. "I, can't tell you!" If he told her she'd guess that Winter and him were friends, that would be breaking his promise he made all those years ago.

Heather raised an eyebrow to this. Craig had told her everything. Well, apparently not everything, but pretty close to it. "Craig, we're friends. You can tell me. I'll keep your secret....whatever it is." Heather placed her drawing pad to the side and then moved so she was facing Craig. Her eyes sparkled with curiousity and she pulled her legs up and wrapped her arms around her legs. "What is it?"

Im not sure exactly what made him tell her but something did. But, he knew it was soemthing she couldn't tell anyone she new. It could ruin alot of good friendships if everyone new. "You promise not to tell anyone. And not be angry with me?" He placed a hand over his chest, like a small child. "Scouts honour?"

Heather gave an uneasy smile at this. What could it possibly be that he was making her promise not to tell anyone and not to be mad? Heather wasn't sure, but she went with it. "I promise." she said, sitting up straight and giving the 'scouts honor' before laughing and saying, "What is it?"
