Timeless (A Prestonplayz Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Preston's Pov

She lay there in my car, asleep and bleeding. I couldn't tell at first, but when she was asleep, she looked beautiful. Beep Beep. I looked at my phone and it was Mitch sending me a message. (M= Mitch P= Preston)

M= hey dood

P= heyyy

M= what's going on man? You said you would be here in two minutes.

P= something...um happened

M= like what?

P= you wouldn't believe me when you hear this.

Laura's Pov

I woke up in a hospital bed with nurses looking over me. Then I smelled something warm and fell back to sleep. It felt like forever before I woke again. Where am I? I look around to see I'm in a recovery room, and there's a chart about my condition. Medical Report: Name: Laura Olivia Lockner DOB: 02-15-98 Current Injury: Rib puncture in left lug Surgery Analysis: Successful Recovery Time (Estimated): 5-6 weeks I couldn't believe how that man was so close to killing me. Thank God that Preston guy had found me. I feel guilty that I don't have a way to thank him. He seemed so nice and gentle. And his eyes were just so... Brown. No Laura, I thought to myself No falling in love. "Never again" I murmur as I hear a knock at the door.

"Oh my gosh! Laura! What happened?"

"Clara!" My best friend ran up and hugged me until... "Ow! C'mon Clara, it's not like I came back from the dead!"

"Sorry, I really missed you. I visited your house but your window was open and both you and your dad were gone." She looked worried.

The guilt hit me like a truck. "I'm sorry, I ran away. It was all too much to bear. I really should have texted you."

"That's ok, but where do you think he went? Your dad, I mean." "To be honest, I don't give a shit were he went." Then I heard a snicker at the door. We turned to see Preston, leaning in the doorway with a bouquet of daisies in his hands.

"Laura I didn't know you had a boyfriend!"

"Clara shut up! Hi Preston, thank you for the flowers."

"Who said they were for you?" He joked and sat down next to Clara.

There was an awkward silence. "Well I'm going to get some lunch, so I'll leave you and your boyfriend to have some private time." She winked

"He is NOT my boyfriend."

Preston pretended to be offended. "Then what am I?"

"Your.... An acquaintance."

He frowned, "I was hoping for new friend. But at least I'm not a weird creeper."

I laughed. He set the flowers in a vase and looked at me.

"You never got a chance to tell me why you ran away. Now spill."

Without thinking, I started talking.

**Flashback** My mother and father were once very happy together. For a time, we were a perfect family. But then my dad discovered alcohol. It pretty much drove him insane. He would hit me and my mom every night, until my mom couldn't take it. She divorced him, but there was one more issue. My custody. My parents fought over me like crazy. Unfortunately, my dad had the better lawyer, saying how the money would help me more on my dad's behalf, and a bunch of crap. After my dad won, Mom said goodbye to me "No matter your struggles, know that you're perfect and I love you." I never saw her again. I was told at age 12 that my mom was in a car accident and died. **Flashback over**

I didn't realize that I was crying. Preston hugged me and said, "It's not your fault" and "It's okay" over and over but I couldn't hear him. All I could do was sob into his shirt. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so dramatic. I don't know were to go. I have no one."

"I have an idea. My apartment complex has a couple empty apartments. There's an open one for rent next to mine and your friend Clara can live with you. You two are 18 right?"

There was a buzz and he pulled out his phone.

"I will be 18 on February 15th, and thank you, for understanding. " I lied and gave a smile. I'm actually 16, but will be 17 on the same date. But I wanted to be by Preston, and it will only be one year behind, so what does it matter?

"No problem. Now I'm going down to the doctors and telling them." He put down his phone and left the room. After a while Preston phone went off. The screen lit up and I could read the notification from some dude named Mitch:

New Message: Mitch- She sounds amazing, you should totally ask her out.

Great, I thought to myself, He has a girlfriend. He'll never feel the same way.

Preston's Pov

I walked down the stairs, relieved that she actually said yes. Did I expect her to? Hell no I barely knew her. But when I saw her I knew I had to have her. Almost skipping, I hurried down to the front desk.

"Good morning, how can I help you?"

"Hey there, I'm Preston. I'm here to tell you that my friend Laura Lockner is coming home to stay with me."

"I'm sorry, but your friend is not 18, she will have to go to a foster home center."

"Hahaha." I chuckled, "Listen, she's going to be 18 in a few days. Can you let this one slide?"

I winked at her, she blushed. "Well, ok, but you have to keep this a secret. She will be out on Tuesday." She smiled and started twirling her hair. I'm glad she doesn't know I like Laura. How come my phone isn't buzzing. Then it's up with Laura

"Thank you bye." I said quickly and rushed away. Once I got upstairs, I saw that Laura was frowning.

"Everything ok?" When she looks at me, her eyes tell me that she's not.

"Ya, just in pain. I'll be alright."
