Payton frowned looking to him before the men watching them feeling a shiver go down her spine understanding how he could feel them watching. "Protect you? Protect you from what? It's a high school what could possibly happen to you while you're at school?" she asked him thinking it was kind of ridiculous.

Gale looked back at the door, seeing the two men leave the window only to return a second later, their backs to the window to cover it up. He turned back to Payton and let out a frustrated sigh "I can't tell you why. I can only tell you, the reason I have moved so much in my life was to protect me." He said wishing he could tell her more. He already screwed up telling Elizabeth too much, he was sure that was going to cause the program to move him yet again.

Payton frowned a bit looking to the window as they covered it up shaking her head. "I-I can't do this...while they're like...there it's weird." she said moving away from him bit upset about this. She moved over to her things picking up her school bag, "I don't think we should do this anymore." she told him pushing some hair behind her ear. "Let's just keep it at a student and teacher relationship..." she said quietly looking to the door opening it. "Excuse me." she said waiting for them to move walking out and down the hall.

Gale watched her go, knowing there was nothing he could do to stop her. He couldn't tell her he was hiding for his life, and why. He sighed and picked up his things, as he passed the two men in suits they stopped him "Yes, what is it this time." he said not really asking.
"Andrei, you need to be more careful," The bigger one said as they pulled him back into the music room for yet another lecture.

It was that time again in the week for a piano lesson which she wasn't looking forward to at all this time. She didn't know what to do or think last time they were here and what happened. She walked to the room seeing he wasn't there yet which was good, putting her things down setting up for the lesson. Seeing that she had a little bit more time she let out a sigh as she started to play Moonlight Sonata by memory.

Gale walked down the hallway, piano books in hand. He was sure she wasn't going to show up and he would drop these all back at her dorm room and sadly never see her again. That thought left his stomach feeling empty and hallow in the worst way possible. He was nearing the music room expecting the worse when he heard the sound.
It was beautiful, he couldn't imagine ever being able to play that well. He walked to the doorway and stopped, just watching her play, her fingers gliding over the keys like their were air. She looked gorgeous sitting there concentrating on what she was playing he couldn't help but smile, though the smile wasn't as big as it should have been. He was glad she was here, but he was also sad that things had been ruined between them. He waited till she was finished, not wanting to stop her.

A few minutes later Payton finished playing the song her eyes staring down at her hands for a moment before seeing Gale in the corner of her eye jumping a little bit. "Jeez, you scared me!" she said placing a hand over her heart. She looked at the piano moving over on the seat for him to sit down. "Come on let's do this lesson." she said not looking back at him.

Gale stayed where he was, hearing the sound in her voice and it sounded not excited like the last few times. "Payton," He said her name trying to find the words. "You don't have to keep teaching me, if you don't want to." He said though in his mind he begged her to stay. He looked down the hallway, knowing the two were there, but they wouldn't step any closer than where they were.

"It's fine, I don't mind just...teaching you piano." Payton told him looking over to him. "Are you going to take a seat or what? You're wasting time." she told him turning her attention back to the piano flipping through the pages of the book.

Gale was about to take a step towards, feeling defeated. But he hesitated, his mind was going a mile a minute and in a split second he had turned around and closed the door, locking it behind him, He turned back to Payton but didn't move "Can you keep a secret?" He asked "Like a life or death situation secret." He said knowing if he told her she had to never speak of it again.

Payton watched him having a puzzled look on her face when he asked her a a question like that. "Um yeah, of course." she said putting some hair behind her ear. "Is everything okay? Do you have like someone out to kill you?" she asked raising a brow placing her hands in her lap.

Gale moved to take the seat on the piano bench next to her, though he kept his distance. He shook his head not wanting her to get anything in her head. "Lets start off with this," He said taking a deep breath. "My name isn't Gale. It's Andrei." He said trying to gauge her reaction.

"Oh...okay so you lied about your name...what else have you lied to me about? Are you even from Russia or is this just a fake accent too?" she asked looking down fiddling with her fingers trying to wrap her mind around this. One minute everything was find between the two, kissing and what not and now he was telling her his name was Andrei.

"I am from Russia, that part is true." Andrei said turning his head towards the door, but he didn't hear anything. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly before explaining everything to her, from his family, to his fathers disappearance, the men following his family afterwards. He told her he was entered into the witness protection program and how he and his siblings were separated. He added he was basically brainwashed to be Gale and to only remember being an orphan in Russia.
He took a deep breath, knowing this was a lot of information. "And that is the entire story," He said wondering if she would run away or not. He was sure she would, and go telling everyone at school what a weirdo he was. He would then have to change schools again and start over.

Payton took in all the information that he was giving her not really sure what to say or if she should say anything at all. "I see..." she said slowly. Biting her lip before speaking again, "So does this mean I can't see you anymore?" she asked not wanting it to be like that. She was pretty sure she liked him, she just wasn't sure how this was all going to work. "Do I still call you Gale or Andrei?" she asked.

Gale chuckled. "As far as I know I am still attending Tidwater High, though that could change at a drop of a hat," He said hoping it wouldn't. "And Gale, since no one but you know the story." He said hoping he did the right thing taking a chance on her.

"I hope it doesn't change either." Payton said smiling a little bit nodding. "Alright...so now that is covered...shall we?" she asked smiling looking to the piano.

Gale smiled and nodded turning to face the piano as he removed his jacket, underneath he was wearing only a slim t-shirt that fit tightly against his arms. "Alright, do you want me to start with last weeks lesson?" He asked placing his hands on the piano keys, liking the way it felt.

Payton found herself staring at his arms after he took off his jacket, admiring how fit he was. She shook her head nodding. "Um yeah..last weeks lesson." she said looking to the page her mind becoming clouded of them making out last lesson rather than the actual lesson.

Gale smiled as started playing the cords, going up and down with ease. He felt more comfortable with moving his fingers across the keys without over reaching or missing a key. "How did I do?" He asked turning to look at her, not realizing they had gotten closer while he had played.
