As soon as Roman stops the car on our driveway I quickly get out of the car and slam the door as hard as I can behind me. As I'm opening my front door I can hear an annoying voice trailing behind me.

"Oi, watch my fucking car!" Roman shouts storming towards me. I get in the house and slam that door too then lock Roman out, soon after muffled shouting and banging is radiating through the house.

I make my way up the stairs and plonk myself on my bed while being kind of glad my mom isn't home right now. That's because if she was I'm almost completely sure Roman would've told her what I'd been up to.

I then realise that he still can, either over text, call, or when she gets home from work tonight.

I quickly run down the stairs glad there's still shouting coming from behind my front door. I open the small, high-up window so Roman can't climb in which is next to the door.

"Oh, by the way-" I start, but before I can say what I want to say he cuts me off.

"Let me in the fucking house!" He shouts at the top of his lungs.

"Shut the fuck up and let me talk, wanker," I say calmly, secretly finding this amusing, and surprisingly he stays quiet, although he looks like he's about to put his fist through the window.

"If you tell my mom what I did today, I'll tell her what you did." Before Roman can shout at me for blackmailing him I shut the window and run upstairs back to my room giggling.

I pick up my phone to text Jasmine about the events that have occurred in the last half an hour, but I see a notification from Brennan.

Feeling pity for the state he must be in I press on the notification about to send him a text about how sorry I am for Roman's behaviour. Although my feelings change after I read his really long message.

From Brennan : Hey, my face is really fucked rn now, so I'm breaking up with u cuz of whatever problems u have with that guy, whether u cheated on him with me or he's just a psycho ex of urs, idk, but I don't wanna be with someone if that means risking my life 4 u. So sorry but fuck that guy, I'm in hospital rn cuz of him so 4 ur next bfs safety, please sort things out with him. If I hear that he's done this to anyone else, I'm calling the cops cuz what he did was fucking unacceptable, please get him some help. And fuck u for not warning me about this. Ur both lucky I ain't sued u 4 this, or told the docs that I know who did this

A single tear falls down my cheek and I wipe it straight away. I put my phone down and then lay back on my bed for a few minutes before slowly making my way downstairs again.

The bottom half of my vision is completely blurry since my eyes are full of unnecessary emotions. I try hard not to blink as I unlock and then open the door because I know that if I do everything with fall out of my eyes. I look down to see Roman sitting on the outdoor step leaning forward with his head down, legs spread apart with his elbows resting on his knees and his arms dangling.

"You can come in now," I say quietly trying not to speak too loud since I know that it will make my tears drop without needing to blink. He quickly stands up the barges past me looking straight ahead and not even taking a glance at me. It makes me feel even more emotional and I silently let it all out.

I stand there with my head down for a seconds squeezing my eyes shut then go inside locking the door behind me. With no energy to go upstairs, I sit down on the third to last step pressing my legs together with my hands resting on my knees and the back of my upper arms also pressing against my body. I let my emotions out on this lonely step, I shut my eyes and think of why everything I've done wrong.

"Why are you crying?" Says a soft voice from right in front of me. I look up to see Roman on his knees staring at me.
"Oh fuck off Roman," I whine swerving my face back and then forward toward him again.

"Hey." He says sternly. "I'm tryna be nice here," He lowers his voice again.
"He..." I quieten since I don't want to say it but I force myself anyway. "He b-broke up with me," I look down at my lap ashamed I've let everything come this far.

I suddenly feel a muscular body press against the right side of mine and then an arm wrap around my waist. I open my eyes and look up at Roman who is staring at me intensely again.
"It's your fault," I sob, but he doesn't say anything and just squeezes my waist.

After a couple of minutes, Roman jolts up and walks in front of me, he turns to face me and then puts his hands on his hips.
"No more sad sack, c'mon," He extends his arm out and holds his hand in front of my chest for me to grab it.
"Where?" I sniffle and wrap my fingers around the space between Roman's thumb and index finger.
"Out," He closes his hand securing mine in his and leads us both to the door, he unlocks it, and we make our way to his car.

Where is this boy taking me?
