WARNING: the following chapter sucks.

Before I went to the studio Lauren and I were out walking Alaska near the beach.

"Hey can I tell you something?" Lauren said taking my hand in hers.

"Yea sure" I said a bit worried.

"The band and I were going to New York. We're leaving Wednesday and not coming back til Saturday" I pouted.

"I don't want you to leave" I said looking down at my worn out converse.

"Hey look at me" Lauren said lifting my chin up to meet her beautiful brown eyes. "I'm only gonna be gone for four days"

"Yea but since we started dating we haven't been apart for that long"

"I know but I don't really have a choice. I'm sorry. I promise you to call, text, and FaceTime you whenever I can"

"Promise?"

"I promise" Lauren said and I pulled her into a hug. Once I did there was a gun shot that made us jump. We heard the sound of glass breaking which came from the car window that was behind us.

"Laur are you okay?!" I asked worried.

"Yea I'm fine. Are you?!"

"Yea come on let's go" we said and walked quickly away.

____________

"Girls are you okay?!" My mom asked worriedly when we walked through the front door.

"Yea were fine. Except for the fact that Lauren almost got shot" I asked taking Alaska off her leash.

"Oh my god sweetie are you okay?" My mom asked Lauren worriedly.

"Yea but if Kayla didn't pull me into a hug I probably would've been hurt" Lauren told her.

"Talk about great timing" my mom said.

"Fuck are you two okay?!" My younger brother said as he ran down the stairs.

"Language young man" my mom said and gave him a death glare.

"Yea Jace were fine" I told him.

"What about Alaska is she okay?"

"Yea"

"I heard on the news there was a shooting near the beach were you guys were"

"Yea there was"

"I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt"

I was about to fall asleep when I got a text message. I groaned and rolled over to pick it up off my bedside table.

Unknown: I was so close today but you has to move your stupid little girlfriend out of the way. Watch her back. Watch your back. Sweet dreams worthless!

Me: who the fuck are you?!

Unknown: you'll find out sooner later.

Me: what the hell do you want from me!

Unknown: you'll find out soon.

After that I didn't reply back. I'm afraid for myself and Lauren. What if this psycho tries to pull something again!? Have if he or she hurts Lauren?! I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I'm finally happy with someone and this happens.
