Love in a strange place

It's time...

I didnt sleep. I couldnt her off my mind. The fact that we kissed. At the time i didnt think much of it. It was a simple kiss, something that shouldnt faze me. I didnt even realize that i was talking in a way she didnt want to hear... I didnt want to hurt her...and maybe thats why...maybe thats why i want to leave. Im begining to care to much. If i care, ill just drag her into my messed up life. Sure, she is the daughter of the man that killed my parents, but i couldnt help it. In a way, she is just like me. Alone, but strong. She doesnt need me. She needs a happy life, and i think it would be best without me... Im sure she'll get into collage with ease.

I look over at the door and ponder about leaving. Its five in the morning and she is still leaving. thats it. ive made up my mind. im gunna go. she needs to live her life with ease. im just making this more dificult for her.

I lay in bed a moment, just listining, and watvhnh everything in the room. I get up and i go to the door. Before i open it up, i hear a mumble. i freeze in my tracks and i listen more carfully. i hear it again but more clear from before.

"Dont..." i try to get closer to hear what she was saying. I crack open the door, and i hear her finally say, "Dont leave me..." my eyes shoot open when i heard those words. shes only sleeping, it could be about anything right? Maybe somethimng from her childhood. Nobody wants me, nobody should. Im to broken.

I close the door and i step back inside. i lay on the bed, now wondering about what she said.

*******

About two hours later, i hear movement then i hear deep breathing. Shes awake... Maybe i should ask her... no. When the time is here, ill just leave. I hear the doors open and close someplpace in the back. Probably the bathroom. doesnt shock me that she wants to look good in the morining. I hear rumbliling around, then an elevator door opining and her leaving. This should be the perfect time to leave... " AHHHH! WHAT DO IDO?!" i curled up in a ball, and tried to figure out what was going on in my head.

Another two hours and i still couldnt sleep. but, i came to the choice of leaving. I couldnt have her dad have me. not after what he has done. He destroyed my family and now- "Hey, did i interrupt something?" she said throughh the door. oh great. she is back. i can still leave though. But do I want to? I looked over and said, "What?No, I was day dreaming, that's all." "Well I have food-" I cut her off, it was hard enough trying to talk to her, having a full convo? Possibly. "You've said enough. Let me out." She didn't hesitate and opened the door. She walked over to her kitchen island, and pulled two chairs and put them separate sides from each other. I looked at her, eyeing her up and down, to get one last good look. I looked in her eyes and she looked away. I even made her insecure. I guess it's good I'm gunna go then. "I'm assuming you don't cook." I said to change the subject. I had to at least act like I was staying. I picked up a donut and said, "it's not a bad thing, I love donuts." She just rolled her eyes at my joke and had frown on her face. "I don't have time to make anything, so I thought this would do." I looked her over again and said," I wonder what made you so busy?" I was being sarcastic and once again, she looked mad at me. "I went to the mall to get stuff for my dad and stopped by people at the kiosk." This made me laugh. It was such an obvious lie how couldn't I? "What could your dad possibly want from the mall? Like I said, you suck at lying." I didn't I few small laughs, them slowly dissipated. "So I got stuff for myself. Big deal." I didn't press the issue further cause, I didn't need to.

We continued to eat our donuts and I decided to ask. "So about last night..." How can I ask? And from her face, I could tell. "I told you I wanted to shut you up, so I did it myself." It wasn't what I was looking for. I had to rephrase what I wanted to ask. "What if it was under different circumstances?" She had a straight face, but I could read her like a book. She thought it was something to do with us. Well, in a way, yes. "Then it wouldn't have happened." She said it with so much hate. What did I do? It hurts to much. I need to leave before I do the same to her. I got up from the and walked inside my room. Once I got inside, I got to the barred vents, and loosened up the bared till they got out of place, and I slid out. A small fit, yes. Worth it? Yes. I put them back, and I tightend them back up. Before I left I heard the door open. I close my eyes waiting to hear her voice. But instead, came the howl of a madman. I opened my eyes and I saw her dad. No. Not now! Why?!

"You let him go!" He howled I heard a thud. No...he wouldn't. "Cheree Why? You knew this was huge! He is on his way to the police now!" I heard her try to explain herself in a panic. No! I loosen the bars as quick as possible, and hit them out. I went out and ran to the living room. I saw him kick her in the stomach, and her go blank. I didn't think, I acted. I ran into him with all my force, knocking him away from her. "HOW DARE YOU HIT HER YOU ***HOLE! I WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR WHOLE TEAM!" I was mad nonetheless. When I looked Down, her dad was bleeding from the lips and was blocking his face. I thought about it for a bit, and I got even more mad "AHHH!" I jabbed my finger at his eye, and shoved them into his eyes socket. I pulled and I took his eye. His screams of pain were music to my ears and I wanted more. I wanted revenge. Before I did what I was about to do again, I head a moan. Miranda. I got up from the bleeding man, and walked over to her. "I'm so sorry Miranda..." I couldn't leave her now. I picked her up, and proceeded to walk towards the elevator. I pressed the correct buttons and we descended down to the bottom floor. I saw a man, and I stopped him.

"Do you have a dollar in change I could use sir? I have to get her someplace safe." He looked over and saw Miranda over my shoulders. He gave me some change, and told me to keep safe. I nodded my head and I walked over to the nearest pay phone. I dialed a familiar number and I waited for an answer.

"Hello?"

"Savanna, we need to talk."

"Dalton? What's wrong?"

"I'm gunna need a place to stay. Can you help?"
