I woke up at 2㏂ I was in pure darkness. I tried to sit up but I felt arms around me. I know these arms. My head didn't feel good. I groaned. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I bit my lip. It got worse. I groaned louder. His arms released me. The lights came on. He was staring at me. "What's wrong?" He asked. I couldn't say anything. "Wait here and don't move." He said and left.

The pain was not going away but getting worse by the second. I twisted the sheets as hard as I could. He came back into the room. "Alright sweetie. Breathe in and hold it." He said. I did so. He lifted my shirt and exposed my stomach. He put some liquid on it and rubbed it. "Ah!" I cried out. "It's okay. Just breathe. It'll be over soon." He said. I nodded. He continued. I started to cry. It was not only my stomach any more. It started to spread. "Ross..." I pleaded to him. "Isn't it spreading?" He asked. "Yess. Yes it is." I choked out. "Alright. Relax and drink this." He said holding a cup filled with this clear thing. He propped me up and held it to my mouth. I smelled it. "Noo." I whined. "It's either this or a shot and I know you hate shots. So take the damn thing." He said. I shook my head. "No." I said like a little baby. He looked at me. "Alright." He said. He took hold of my hands. "No!" I said. "You need this or I get your needle ready." He said. I opened my mouth. He smiled. He poured it in. I scruntch up my face to the bitterness. He lets go of my hands then rubs my stomach again. The pain slowly faded. I was relieved but it didn't cure my headache. "Okay. You should be fine now." He said and stopped. "Yeah. I'm better. Thanks". I say. He kissed my head then left with the stuff in his hands. I almost immediately fell back asleep.

"Ross?" I called as I woke up. The feeling was returning. "Morning beautiful." He smiled as he walked into the bedroom. I smiled and reached for him. He gladly came and hugged me. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "I'm fine. Thank you." I say. He takes hold of my face and examines it. "Aw. It must get lonely here." He said. No duh! "Yes it does." I say looking around. "Well. I want to make it up to you. I know I've left you alone for sometime. How about we take a tour around this land of ours?" He asked. "Together?" I asked. He nodded. "Together." He said and pecked my lips. I chuckle. "Alright. What should I wear?" I asked. He tilted his head. "Hm? Doesn't matter. You look good in everything you wear." He said. I blush. "Thanks." I say. "Aww. Look who's pink?" he said. This caused me to turn even more pink. I smack his chest. "Do you wanna say goodbye to Toby?"He suddenly asked.

My smile dropped. "Were burying him." He said. "But I thought we were gonna hand him over to my mom incase she wanted to you know…give him a funeral." I said. He looks at me. "So you wanna visit him afterwards then?" He asked. I nod. "Alright. We'll take him there." He said. Who is the we? I wasn't gonna ask. "Fine with me."  I say. He pulls me onto his lap. I crack him a little smile then start thinking about Toby. He's my best friend. Well now it was. He was my best friend. When my mom and I got into an arguement, he would always back me and I did the same. We could never be seperated. Then one day this guy came into my life. I sat on his lap like it was the most natural thing to do. His hair brushed against my forehead. I chuckled. I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Go talk to him." Toby said. I wanted to be cool and sassy so I walked over and looked back at Toby giving me a thumbs up. As soon as I turned around, he was right in font of me. His hazel eyes mesmerized me. Next thing I know, I'm sitting on his lap. He gaved me a smile and I returned it. I didn't want to ever leave. He head reasted on mine. I had a million butterflies sworming inside my stomach. His hair was so soft. I felt his breath brush against my cheek. This made me want to lean up and kiss him. His arms came around my waist. I slowly wrapped mine around his neck. "Who are you?" He asked. "Laura. Who are you?" I asked. "Ross." He whispered. Just as we were going to close the gap between our lips, Toby ripped me away from him. "Let's go. Time to go home." He said taking my hand and dragging me away. I looked back at him. He winked. I blushed and followed my brother out.

See you don't find that everyday. After Ross and I started dating. Toby would always tell me he's not the sweetheart I see him to be. I didn't believe him. One night he came to me covered in blood telling me, it was time to go. I was confused. He made me back some items and then we were on the road. Toby seen me that night. He never talked to me til yesterday. I distanced myself from him as far away as possible for the first couple of months. I even tried running away. Then things grew darker. He picked me up from a the street that night and I thought he would kill me or abuse or hurt me in some way but he didn't. I would be scared for my life. Soon I warmed up to him and now I gave myself up to him. I won't do anything unless he says so or its for him.

"I love you." I say. He smiles. "I love you too." He said. He connected our lips. I smiled into it. He chuckles as I lightly play with his ear. "Stop that." He says pulling away. "Why?" I pout playfully. "Oh no. There we go with the pouty face." He pouts. I giggle. "Stop it." I say closing my eyes. "Why?" He says mocking me. I slap his chest. He starts having a laughing fit. It doesn't make sense but if you were me, you'd understand. "There you go again." I say rolling my eyes. He picks me up and places me on my feet. "Alright. Go get dressed. I'll be right here waiting for you." He said. I raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I asked. "No." He said and ran away. "Hey!" I say. I wish moments like these can last.
