Chapter 24: Jumping Off Of Roofs

~Lauren~

"RUN!"

I ran through the streets with Ryan on my tail, our hearts pounding rapidly in our chests, our lungs catching in labor breathes. We were in Georgia and shit, a gang notice us and started to outrun us, they wanted to kill us. We were calmly getting some money on the streets, Ryan playing guitar while I sang, that how it would work and we would get money then some guys saw us, yelled 'that's them!' and started to chase us. Now here we are, running for our lives.

"Come on!" Ryan yells, grabbing my hand and tugging inside a appartment. We ran up the stairs and barge into the roof. We ran and jump roofs, trying to lose them but no hope at all. Then, they started to shoot at us. I squealed, ducking my head and hiding behind a stalliete.

"We're trap." I tell Ryan as he yanks off a cord. We were three floors high from the ground, there wasn't any escape exit. It was either keep jumping off of roofs or become Spider Man and fling yourself down.

He takes the cord and ties it tightly around my waist, he pushes me softly to the edge. "I know, now hold on Jessie. I'm gonna lower you down and you'll jump on that balcony and run." He tells me and I shook my head quickly.

"What?! No! I'm scared of heights Ryan!" I tell him quickly and his face soften as he wraps the other end of the cord around his waist. He pushes me to the egde and makes me sit on the edge.

"I won't let you go, I promise. We don't have much time." He says and I gulp and nodded. I slowly let myself go and squeeze the cord as I hang in the air. I did the stupidest mistake yet, I look down.

"Oh my god Ryan! Get me down! Get me down! Holy shit! Ryan!" I screamed for him, fear clear in my voice. He lowers me some more as he looks down at me.

"Just look at me Jes-" He was cut off as bullets were shot at him. I screamed as he let go of me.

"RYAN! MALDITA SEA! POR TU MADRE DON'T LET ME GO!" I screamed at him and he quickly grabs again, I screamed as I hang and spin around. The balcony was right below me and so Ryan let me go so I can jump on it. I did and I jump on the balcony, I gasp and look up. Before I could untie the cord, Ryan jump.

"RYAN!" I screamed as he jumps to the other side of the street, he tries to reach for the balcony across from me but misses. I screamed and was pull with the force, I shierk as I crash into the gate in front of me. It tips me forward and I grip onto the gate with all of my strength, watching Ryan fall. I screamed as I grip onto the cord, trying to hold it but I was too late, Ryan hit his head on the street.

I gasp, untieing myself from the cord and running inside the room, I ran through the rooms and out the door to the street. People stood there, shock as they watch Ryan bleed from his head on the street. He wasn't moving but it look like he crack open his head.

I squeak as I reach him, I went to my knees beside him and pulled him onto my lap. "Ryan, oh god Ryan, please say something." I say, softly slapping his cheek to get him to wake up. Nothing, his eyes were open and frozen with fright.

I squirm, feeling tears stream down my face as he doesn't answer me or anything, he doesn't move or breathe. I sob, burying my face in his chest as I cried. As I cried into him, I realize something.

I realize that I had feelings for him, that I fell in love with him and didn't told him about how I truly felt about him.

I gasp, lifting my head to look at his face as pain stab my heart. "I love you." I whisper but of course, he was dead and could never tell me his answer.

I cried and whisper into his ear. "My name isn't really Jessie, it's Lauren. Lauren Jauregui." I lifted my head slowly and look at him, I press my lips against his unmoving ones and kissed him with as much passion and love as I could. I pulled away and softly let him go when I heard the bullets. I needed to leave but I didn't want to leave Ryan.

"I fucking love you." I whisper to him and stood up, I glance at all the people around us. They formed a circle, some had their hands to their mouths with shocked expressions, others had tears rolling down their faces and some were recording us. I glance again, hearing sirens.

I move through the crowd, pushing my way out and started to ran. I ran and ran and ran. I ran for endless hours until I couldn't go any longer, I collapse on the ground, curling into a ball as I sob and catch my breath. Luckily, I was near to Normani's home. With shaking legs, I stood up again and walk to her house.

I knock on the door and when they open it, I barge inside without saying it was me and went for the phone. I pick it up, ignoring the yells of Normani's family and dial Dinah's number. Pressing the phone to my ear, I turn the family.

"It's me, I'm Lauren." I tell them with tears running down my cheeks. They stood there shock, of course they didn't know it was me, I change my appearence twice in the past four months.

"Hello?" I heard Dinah pick up and I instantly let out the heartbreaking sob from me. "Dinah!" I scream into the phone and fell to the floor, my legs giving out from underneath me.

I heard her gasp from the other side of the phone. "Lauren! Oh my god girl! I thought you were dead! Girls! It's Lauren!" She yells for them and I sob, glad I could hear their voices again. I couldn't feel my legs as I lean against the wall.

"I'm not dead," I whisper. "but I feel like I'm dead."

I could hear the girls yelling for me, to tell them what happen, where am I and how am I and why am I not dead. I honestly was too numb to answer any of their questions, I just sob loudly.

"I'm falling apart, please fix me." I whisper into the phone before I completely and utterly pass out.
