Recap:

"Well, if both you and Tyler, well..." Trent paused for a bit and looked away, "Die in this apartment on February 25th next year then this apartment will become a portal between the two times"

"It-what?" At first I couldn't comprehend it, but I felt my head get woozy.

"I am sorry, Rose, but there will be people trying to kill you"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Of course, I won't let that happen. I am here to protect you. Also, nobody will be trying to harm you until February 25th because any time before then and the magic wouldn't work"

"Well that's a relief" I replied, sarcastically. I stood up, "Was there anything else?" I knew I was being rude but there was so much going around in my head and the man sitting before me was the one who could ultimately be the reason for my death.

'Why mess with stuff you don't understand you silly old man' I thought, instantly feeling guilty. I needed to get him away from me before I said or did something I would regret.

Trent stood up also and searched his pockets before handing me a business card,

"There is more but I will take my leave for today. When you are ready to talk more, just give me a call." I took the card but didn't even spare one glance at it. "Well I shall be leaving now, Rose, goodbye"

"Goodbye" With that he walked out the door and I into my room. I closed the door after seeing that Tyler was not there, obviously he lasted alot longer than what I did. I flopped onto my bed, covering my head with my pillow and let the tears flow. In less than one year, I could quite possibly be dead. Sobs wracked my body as I tried to muffle the sounds with my pillow, not wanting to alert Tyler to my presence.

After about an hour I was lying on my side, away from the door, my tears having dried up but the melancholy having stuck with me. Tyler was back because I heard him moving around the apartment but I tried to keep silent, not up to talking to him just yet, but soon enough there was a knock on my door,

"Rose, are you in there?"

"No" I heard a chuckle and my door opened. I still lay on my side, facing away from him. I felt his weight as he sat on my bed,

"You know you're a terrible liar" I turned to face him and smiled,

"Yeah, someone told me that yesterday" Tyler's face dropped as he took in my puffy red eyes and red, blotchy cheeks. Ugh, I wish crying made me pretty instead of ugly.

"Have you been crying?" I didn't reply. Tyler took off his shoes and rested against the head board so I was left staring at his leg. Suddenly, I felt his fingers stroking my hair. I closed my eyes, the feeling was so amazing and I almost forgot everything.

"It will be ok, Rose"

"You know they're going to try and kill us"

"Yeah but don't worry, I won't let them lay a finger on you. Also, I visited yesterday didn't I? So they must have failed." That was true, they obviously failed since Tyler was still alive, but what happened to me? Did I survive? Will I survive? I cut those thoughts off, even though I had only known Tyler for one week I knew that he wouldn't abandon me and he definitely wouldn't have visited if something bad happened/will happen to me.

"Don't worry, everything will be ok" I don't know why, but just like that, I really did believe that everything would be ok.

So another chapter...very short, I'm sorry >_< Actually I noticed how short all of my chapters are...maybe when I go back to edit this I will have to combine them. Anyway, I'm going to work on chapter thirteen now...we have done nothing today so I've had lots of time to write! I want to make up for not uploading for so long!
