"But I love you!" I screamed, "Please, don't leave me Jared!" 

"Look, I found someone new, you have to move on." Jared explained.

I grabbed onto his calves. 

"Don't go. I can't live without you!" I sobbed.

"Can someone get her off of me?!" 

A broad guy around my age picked me up and turned me around. As I looked back, Jared started running away, towards my school.

"Look, Skylar, is it?" 

I slowly nodded yes.

"You are way too beautiful to be caught on that fool. He obviously doesn't deserve anyone with such beauty." 

He brushed the mangled hair from in front of my face.

"Why don't we go back to my place and get you cleaned up?"

"But what about school? I can't get caught, my parents will find out, and I'll get groun-"

He put his index finger to my lips and said, "Sh.. no one will know. Now come on."

"But.. wait... I don't even know your  name."

"Michael. Michael Carey."

"Next thing you know, we're dating."

"Why don't you tell me more about that." Dr. Menendez declared.

FLASHBACK

At first everything was wonderful and exhilarating, he wasn't really the romantic, sappy type. He always wanted some adventure and thrill in his life. 

We always went on rides on his motorcycle and I always used to sneak out and visit the burger joint on 3rd and Maple at midnight, just to meet him.

But after about 5 months or so, he didn't only want a relationship, he wanted other things... 

But I wanted to stay a virgin until marriage, so I told him no. 

" Do you not love me Skylar?!" he screamed, " Have you ever?!"

I was terrified, I knew that Michael had been a bad kid, for as long as anyone could remember, but I never saw this side of him.

"I... I do love you Michael!"

" I hear the crack in your voice. You're lying to me."

"N-no! I'm not!"

"That's it."

And then, he grasped me so firmly, and pinned me against the wall. He took a hold of my neck, and he ordered, " Look me straight in the eye, and tell me that you love me, and no one else."

" I love you Michael Carey. I love you and absolutely no one else." I choked.

He let go and looked at me , with tears streaming down my cheeks, and he gave me the most passionate kiss that we've ever shared.

I didn't know if I wanted to leave him. That moment was one that scarred me, but left me wanting more.

"So, you have mixed feelings for the kid?"

" Basically. Our love is brutal, yet alluring and riveting. This might sound silly, but each time his voice rises and when his pins me against a wall, I get excited for what' coming next. It's like the way he shows how much he loves me. Soon, I'm going to get hurt a lot, and I want to prevent that. So, I've come to you because I'm in desperate need of your help. Because I believe that I'm beginning to obtain chronophobia."
