"You wouldn't hurt me, would you?"
"Why would I hurt someone I love?"
"Why would you hurt someone at all? Innocent people."
He smirked, "Idle hands are the devil's playthings."
It seems like just last week it was December. It's May now and we're leaving in less than a month.
I decided to sit down and write out an explanation for my parents.
I tapped the paper with my pen.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I've decided to go away with Kevin. Before you freak out... I'm not in any danger. I'm fine. We're fine. We just need to be us for a while. You have no idea how hard this is but it's what I have to do right now and I hope you understand. God.. I know you don't understand. I love you guys beyond reason. I don't want you to find me. I'm okay. You can call me if you really need me. I will transfer money into your account every month so you don't have to pay for my phone bill. I'm sorry I didn't say bye to your face. My heart wouldn't be able to take it. I love you so much. I will be back. It'll just be a while. You didn't do anything wrong. This is my choice. We're set with money. We're renting an apartment. We'll be okay. I will not steal your food, money, or your belongings, I'm not running away. I'm just leaving. I'm sorry I didn't think it would be this hard. I love you... I love you.

Tears fell from my eyes and onto the paper. I quickly wiped them and folded the paper.
I need to do this. I need to do this for us.
God I wish I could just fucking shut off my emotions like they do in The Vampire Diaries.
Kevin and I have the double date with Sadie and her boyfriend to The Sky Room at 4. We all agreed to dress fancy since it's a pretty fancy place.
I sat the folded paper on my desk and covered it with my laptop.
I took a shower and got ready. I wore a silk slim fitting rose gold dress with a matching pair of heals and a black faux fur coat.

I did my makeup as usual because I usually go all out with makeup because you know.. Why not.
I stuffed my phone into a black clutch that matched my coat.
Wait why did I put it in there I need to text Kevin.
I took my phone back out and quickly texted Kevin that I was ready.
Hot Stuff <3: I'm here
I walked to the door and opened it so see him standing there in a grey suit with his hair gelled and a pants-wetting smirk.
