"Spider-Man 2 or Paranormal Activity 3?" Marcus asked.

"Uh, how about Paranormal activity." I responded. Marcus selected the movie on his phone and connected it to his TV. I pulled the blanket up closer to me and snuggled into the couch. Then a knock approached the door and Marcus answered to the pizza. I sat out of my relaxed spot on the couch and licked my lips. In a split second I was munching on a delicious slice of pizza.

"God somebody is hungry!" Marcus exclaimed letting out a chuckle, with a mouth full of pizza. I swallowed and then said, "Manners please."

Marcus rolled his eyes and rested back on the couch and glued his eyes to the movie. I kept my eyes on him and wondered how such a messed up girl like me can end up with such a perfect guy. I leaned back on the couch and resumed to my cuddle position.

The sound of my phone ringing woke me up and I quickly flickered my eyes open. I reached over and grabbed my phone and squinted my eyes to read it. My mom was calling and I rolled my eyes. I put my phone back on the coffee table and nuzzled my head back into Marcus where we had fallen asleep on the couch last night. Just as my mind was drifting off the phone went off and I decided to answer to scold her.

"What mom?" I asked with a raspy voice, trying to keep it down for Marcus.

"What happened?" My mom asked loudly over the phone.

"Huh?" I asked scratching my head.

"Why were you in the hospital?!" My mom yelled once again over the phone and I immediately woke up. How has she found out? I couldn't tell her what happened?

"Uh..." Was all that I could say.

"Lola. Tell me what is going on right now before I drive my ass down there." She commanded and I had no choice but to explain.

"Mom, I was shot. Before you start panicking, you need to know, that I'm okay now." I calmly said.

"What?!?" She screamed and I had to pull the phone away from my ear because she was so loud.

"I was kidnapped, for like, a half hour. Then I was shot. Then I went to a hospital and they treated me. And now I'm okay." I explained making sure Marcus was still snoozing away, luckily he was.

"Oh God Lola! How could you have not told me!" Her voice cracking.

"I didn't tell you because I knew what you would do! Your going to make me move again and I'm already far enough from Marcus and I don't want to go further and- and.."

"Lola, I won't make you move. I just..." She sighed and I did too. "I want you to be safe, and hearing this makes me know that your not." My mom interrupted. 

"Mom, I'm so sorry for not telling you. I just love Marcus so, so, so much. And I just knew I would have to leave him." I confessed walking into the kitchen so I wouldn't disturb Marcus' sleep.

"Next time, tell me when your about to die! Okay!" She yelled but not so loud this time.

"Alright Mom, I have to go. Love you." I said and let her go. I hung up the phone and went back into the living room where I found Marcus laying still, except for the slight movement in his chest. His breathing was quiet and I saw his hand make a small twitch. Oh how I love this beautiful boy. I slowly approached him and kneeled down I front of him. I gently gave him a kiss on the forehead and I saw his face twitch and he slowly awoke. He gave me a small smile when our eyes met and I didn't have to think about it when I leaned in for a kiss. When our lips touched, I got the same feeling that I get every time. That spark. The electricity. The fireworks. It was amazing.
