| Mars POV |
" It's not a stupid song . " Corey told me . " I like the song , I like it a lot . "
We were now looking each other in the eyes .
" Brittany Sheets , I would never hurt you . " He said softly . " And just the thought of you having that dream of me harming you in anyway just breaks my heart . I never want to hurt you and I never will . "
We looked each other in the eyes as our two faces became one . And it was a beautiful moment . Not just for me but for him too . I can tell . And as the week flew by , the kiss was all I could think about . It happened again three other times but I don't know what it means . But I didn't really care . I was just enjoying that moment with him . Later on that week me and him finished the song and Tony helped us with the filming . The video was basically me walking around Hollywood with a bunny suit on and riding a bike . It was simple and easy and I loved it . So much . But there was something wrong . I didn't know what it was but something just didn't feel right . The song lyrics .. they just feel .. so relatable in a way ? I feel myself falling for Corey . And I know I felt him falling for me too . And I wanted to runaway from this feeling . Right now , the thought of having Corey as my boyfriend seemed like a absolutely wonderful idea but there was just something holding me back from doing it . So much could go wrong .
Just like in the dream .. But then again , so much could go right . Just like in reality . Or is reality only just a dream ? Am I not living in the real world anymore ? I don't know . Me and Corey were sitting on a hill at the park , under the tree , studying .
" I never really understood the importance of history . " I said putting the book I was reading over my face . " These guys are dead , how's this going to help us in the real world ? I mean yes they've done these things for us but it just kind of makes no sense to me . "
" I understand what you're talking about . " Corey said as he crumble up a piece of paper . " I ask myself the same exact question all the time . "
I felt the touch of the paper he was crumbling up earlier thrown in my direction , on the top of my dress . I admittedly took the book off my bed and threw the piece of paper back at him as I went towards him and softly pushed him . I accidentally tripped over his legs and we went tumbling down on the other side of the hill away from the park .
When we reached the bottom , I tried to get up but I was unable to . The bow in the middle of my plaid dress was attached to Corey's belt buckle . We looked at each other awkwardly as we tried to figure out a way to get unstuck .
" Should I take off my pants .?.. " Corey asked awkwardly .
" Okay . " I said as he softly removed his pants . It took about five minutes but they got off . He started to get them unstuck from my bow . I smiled at him .
" Thank you . " I said softly trying my hardest not to look down . He put his pants back on and we walked back up the hill . Just then , my phone rung . It was Moriah .
" Hello ? " I said picking up the phone .
" Please come over to Tony's house . Now . " Moriah said anxiously , sounding like she had been crying . " I think he might've hurt himself . "
" What ? " I said in shock with tears filling my eyes . " We're on our way right now . "
" What's going on ? " Corey asked me .
" Moriah thinks Tony did something to harm himself . "
Me and him quickly ran over to his house , not letting a thing stop us . When we got there , Moriah was in front of his house with red puffy eyes .
" I'm so scared man . " She said as she hugged me while crying .
" What reason would he have to hurt himself ? " Corey asked .
" He was being abused at home . Badly . He told me how much he wanted to end his life to stop the suffering . "
Me and Corey looked at each other shocked , not saying a word .
" He told me how much he wanted to run away from all of this . He said he wanted to tell you guys , maybe you could've helped but you two dipshits only cared about sucking each other's face in . "
I thought of the time a few weeks ago he told us about how he needed to tell us something important and thought about how we cut him off .
" When he said he wanted to die he didn't mean it in a joking way . He really wanted to die . Now he might be really dead . "
Without saying a word , Corey went up to the door and kicked it down .
" Tony ? " He called out checking the living room and the kitchen . " Where the hell are you ? "
We followed behind him . We walked upstairs to his room slowly . I don't think I could take what we might see behind this door . I just can't . Corey slowly twisted the doorknob open and we all gasped at what we were witnessing with our own two eyes . Moriah started to scream .
" NO , NO , FUCKING NO ! WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN ? " She screamed . On the walls were the words " runaway runaway " written with blood all around them . On the floor was the dead body of Tony's dad and himself . He murdered his father then shot himself .
I started to cry into Corey's arms . And in his arms is where I felt safest in a time like this .
" I'm so sorry . " Moriah whispered . " I tried everything I could but I failed you , Tony . I'm so sorry . "
" Hey , It's not your fault . " I said letting go of Corey ( which felt hard for me to do ) and hugged Moriah .
" This is going to be hard for us to adjust . All of us . We all loved Tony so much . I'm so sorry that I've been so selfish . " I let go of her and looked her in the eye . I brushed my hands through her hair , fixing it .
" Guys ? " Corey called out . We both looked at him not saying anything .
" Look . " He said showing us a piece of bloody paper . It was a blank sheet of paper that said " everybody wants it all . "
