Chapter 11

( This Chapter involves violence)
(And shit finally gets romantic-ish)

________=insert your name

The man threw open the door to the closet you were both hiding in. He didn't have a gun but he had his fists raised. And he punched you and Roland in the face!!! Then Roland punched him in the face twice. The man held his jaw in anger and Roland kicked him in his shin really hard. The guy muttered something under his breath and ran out of the store you were in, although you knew there were probably more of the men out in the mall who could find you.

Then Roland closed the door back up and he knelt next to you. You were slumped on the ground and the side of your face and your mouth really hurt from being punched. You could taste the blood in your mouth. The closet was very small but Roland managed to kneel down and place your head in his lap. He wiped away a small trickle of blood from your bottom lip. "_________, __________, are you okay?", he asked worriedly.

Your eyes flickered open and you sat up. "Yeah, I think I'm fine", you whispered. Roland helped you up and then you looked at each other as best as you could in the darkness. And then he leaned in and put his hands around your waist and he kissed you! You placed your hands over his shoulders and you both kissed for a few seconds, unable to see each other well in the darkness. Then you heard someone open the door to the front of the store and you both pulled away from each other and Roland stepped in front of you to make sure you didn't get hurt. You braced yourselves, scared that it was another dangerous person coming to hurt you but a policeman opened the closet door.
"It's safe for you guys to come out now", the policeman said.
You walked out nervously and was back out in the food court. There were about 50 S.W.A.T. members and policemen out there. A whole bunch of scared people were being talked to. You heard sirens and helicopters all around the mall.
"I'm sorry your birthday ended up turning into almost dying from a terrorist attack.", you whisper to Roland.
You have to wait for hours before you are able to leave the mall. Finally you and Roland leave and take a bus to go the next bus stop. Yet, when you arrive at the second bus stop it starts to rain and the next bus is running late. You point to a sign in the bus stop for Six Flags. "Thats the best place ever! They have the tallest rollercoaster ever! It would be fun to go there but with our bad luck, the rollercoaster would probably break while we were on it or something", you say.
"Yeah, I guess we do have pretty bad luck."
"I should probobly figure out how to get the portal to come back. Maybe I just have to say it's name or something...but I forget what it was called. A halogen, no a harlequin, no an enlarging portal... I can't remember...", you say.
"That's okay, besides almost dying, 2018 seems pretty cool. I wouldn't mind staying here longer", Roland says.
"Really, you kept complaining about how much you wanted to go back to 1985 but now you don't?"
"Sure. I'm starting to like this year."
"Ok...."

Then the bus finally pulled up and you both got on. You kept thinking about how Roland kissed you and how neither of you had mentioned it. Was he going to act like it didn't happen? You felt kind of confused about the whole thing. You had liked Roland for a while and you were sure he didn't like you back, but now you really didn't know.
You glanced at your phone. Since you had been in the mall so long it was already 6:00 pm and you had only 5% battery left. You knew your mom wouldn't care much if you came home late, you weren't a little kid, you were 22 for goodness sake; but you still called her to reassure her you might be home late.
It was getting dark out when the bus dropped you off.
But when you and Roland get off the bus you take a look around. "Where are we?", you whisper.
You try to pull up google maps on your phone, but its dead! You curse under your breath at the bad luck you have. The bus has already driven off and you are both left in the darkness.
"Now what?", Roland asks.
It's still raining and it is getting darker out by the minute. The sun is starting to set behind the trees. Trees. Trees are everywhere around you both. There is just the empty street and trees on both sides.
"Did we get on the wrong bus...?", you wonder. You must have. "Maybe another bus will come. Guess we'll just have to wait."
Your hair is getting soaked and your shoes have absorbed the rain from the puddles you have walked in.

Out of nowhere a giant thunder booms and lightning strikes close to the ground. You've always hated lightning and thunder, being the scaredy-cat you are.

Then another loud thunder echoes from above. You jump a bit when you hear it. Roland holds your hand.
"I should tell you... I really like you. I guess it's kind of weird since I'm from the past and I just met you and all but....", Roland says with a nervous tone.

"It's not weird to me, becuase I like you too. Maybe it is a little odd that we are from different times but that doesn't change how I feel about you", you say.
You can't believe you've admitted how you feel to Roland, or that he feels the same way towards you.
"That's good", Roland says.
Roland puts his arm around you.
You wait for a while in the rain until a bus finally pulls up. You are the only ones one the bus. It's a while before you'll get home becuase you're pretty far. You fall asleep on the bus; it's been a really long day.

Roland nudges you awake when the bus stops on your block. You stagger out, tired as can be.

"I guess I'll find a hotel somewhere, goodnight _________" , Roland says.
"I never got that stupid portal to come back...now I feel bad. You probably just want to go home....", you say. "I wish you could stay at my house, but with my mom and all...."
"It's ok, I'll just-"
Just as you both are crossing the street a speeding car comes down the street. It's ok, though becuase there is stop sign and you are both crossing when you are supposed to. No biggie. But then the car swerves right towards you both! But Roland notices as it gets closer. He could run ahead and be okay! But he notices you aren't paying attention and even if he runs ahead and doesn't get hit, you will. So Roland pushes you out of the way! (I'm so original). And then Roland gets hit by the fucking car! (I know I'm a monster)

You pick yourself up off the ground. "Why the hell did he push me", you wonder.
But then you turn around. And holy shit, things just got bad. You scream.

To be continued very soon.
Next Chapter: Did Roland die? Is he okay? Probobly not. I am so cruel, I know. I promise I'm not a sadist.

(Hi I'm so sorry about this chapter. I can't write romance, and I tried to make this sweet but it's just really corny. I just can't. It's just so weird and awkward and I'm sorry you had to read this chapter. I don't know, maybe you enjoyed it but I am certainly sure I can't write mushy lovey stuff.(( I really like to feel bad for myself if you haven't noticed)). I hope you liked this chapter!
Also I really keep changing from past tense to present tense idk why. I think I have issues.
I'm also sorry about the end of this chapter. I'm a sicko. Sorry)
