        After the days events I decide all I need is to be in my room alone. I reach my front door after a mile walk. I pull on it desperately. It opens with a creak. I run upstairs so I don't have to face my dad. He can read me like a book, Unfortunately.  I slam my door and slump against it.

        How does one distinguish like from love. I have never been in love, But like..... Definitely. There all different kinds of love, But the one that can hurt you the most is the love from your family. They tore into my heart like scissors through paper. Pick out all of the good memories and turn them into bad, and take away everything.The pain I have endured by my family is unbearable. I feel the tears run down my face. Each tear shedding the memories of the past, Hoping I will one day over come the emotional disaster that I call my life. It has been three years, Yet I am sitting hear Alone in my room.

       How come I----. My Melancholy is disrupted by a knocking at my window? I rapidly wipe the tears from my face. Who the hell could be at my window? Why not the door? I walk over to the window and see a very familiar face. 

      "Calum? Wha- What are you doing here?" I stutter As i Fully open the window.

      "Well Nice to see you too" He glares at me. Hes Lucky my window is on the first floor. I look around the driveway, and luckily My dads car isn't here. 

      "So are you going to let me in, Or are you just going to stare at me dumbfounded?" He smirks at me with his cocky grin.

      " I'm Impressed, A guy Like you using such big words". I state as I walk away from my window. I hear him shuffle into my room.

      " Ha very funny, I didn't expect a girl like you to have bob Marley posters, And guitars in her room" he states as he sits on my bed. I turn to face him. He is studying my room. His eyes scan every square inch of my room. 

       " I Hate to be rude, But may I ask, What brings you to my home? How do you know you didn't come here to rape me, or drug me". I question, I start to idle with my fingers. 

     " Trust me, I could have you if I wanted to, I don't need to rape you." He smiles, Proud of himself. I Lightly Kick an empty water bottle on my floor.

    "Anyways, I can see my presence is making you uncomfortable." He beams at me. I can feel his eyes searching through my mind. Connecting the pieces of the puzzle. " Well, I want to help you take down rose." he glances up at me.

        "I'm Sorry I don't think I heard you right. You want to help Me take down rose? Why do you want to help me so much?" I push. I am confused,  My mind is clouded with all of these ideas. 

        "It doesn't matter why I want to. I mean I did save you in that alley. I want to know more about you, and while taking down rose. Shes never done any wrong to me, but i know she has hurt other people. She needs a taste of her own medicine." He rambles on, And I can't help and listen to every single word .

       "You still owe me for that by the way." he adds as he stands up.

        "Okay....what do you want." I ask, I stare out the window. It is pitch black out, The only thing that fills the sky are the bright stars.

       "share a blunt with me." He states as he opens the window. What did he just say? There's no way he just asked me that.

      "sorry I don't smoke" I lie

     "Oh Really"? then what this" he asks as he picks up the pill bottle I had hidden in my pillow. I grab for it and he pulls it away.

     " chill tiger, I wont do anything with it. I'm not taking no as a answer So lets go". He states as he opens the window.
