calum hood;

"calum, c'mon over here."

"yes, mr. rose?"

"i never want to see you near my house again."

"sir, that was an acci-"

"i don't know how they do it where you're from, but here in new york, you live rough and tough. nothing here is an accident."

i woke up. lately, i've been having nightmares from days i was with jay. each night got worse than the last. a buzz from my phone startled me,

hey, i know its 2:52 but i wondered if you could pick me up at the bus stop we met at
- stoner

i didn't even have a car, we all actually didn't own any vehicles. sigh, i guess i'll walk.

natasha stone;

"i heard he killed someone, norm!" i heard from the kitchen.

"he's a very decent man, elisa! he wouldn't hurt anyone." my mom and dad were discussing someone.

"oh, but he did. the rose family had two daughters, now they only have one!" i knew exactly who they were talking about and it sure did make my blood boil. i marched down the stairs and confronted my mom.

"fyi, he didn't kill her." i spoke, i wanted to say more, but i didn't know the whole story. calum didn't say how she died. he did say he was one of the many other reasons why she died.

"how do you know?" my mom crossed her arms.

"i know him and he-"

"killed someone! natasha, you don't know him! he'll end up killing you too!"

"enough!" my dad yelled. "natasha, go up to your room."

it wasn't fair! i barely spoke for calum. but then again it was true that i didn't know him. i broke into tears. i'm determined to find out! i snuck out of my window and walked to the bus stop where calum and i first met and texted him to meet me there.

"you don't know him."

"he'll end up killing you too."

what if they were true, i trust calum, but does he trust me. well, obviously not! he hasn't told me the real reason behind jay's death. sigh, i should've known. a man dressed in black approached me and i thought he was going to kidnap me, but it was just calum. but i had a feeling in the bottom of my stomach that i wished a man dressed in black kidnapped me. at least if it was that case, i wouldn't know his real purpose.

"babe, its 3 am. you could've gotten killed out here!" i tensed at the word "killed".

"let's go to your place. i'll tell you what happened when we get there." he nodded and we walked back to Viva La Vida Penthouses.

i would often look at calum and wonder what made him be a murderer, but he was so sad when we visited her. i'm so confused. i stared out in the sky, no stars were out. i looked over the ocean, no sparkle. nothing. i'm starting to see things in a different light. but i was in love with calum. help me.

"wake up, tasha. i made breakfast." calum shook me, i got up and so many people were at the table.

"morning, tasha!" greeted vanessa.

"hope you slept well." winked luke.

what if they knew about calum and jay? does ashley know calum killed jay? oh my gosh, this is so hard. but i love calum, why am i doubting that he didn't kill her? well, he was such a dick when we were in australia.

"natasha, can we talk?" ashley pulled me into the living room, away from everyone before i could say anything.

"natasha, do you know something that i need to know?" uh-oh.

"depends." i said, sitting on the couch.

"you know something about jay and calum." i stood still. am i too obvious?

"how did you know?" i stuttered.

"you look at calum the same way i did when jay died." she teared up. oh no.

"so you know that calum ki-"

"yeah, but it was an accident and we-" i cut her off and yelled,

"how does killing someone become an accident?!"

"natasha, its not what-" calum came in.

"calum, you murdered someone!" i yelled. i didn't want to be next. but i love him. but i love him.

"not in that way!" he screamed.

"then how?! she just took the knife and killed herself?! is that how it went down?" a few people laughed, and others speechless.

"tasha, jay was in a car accident." vanessa comforted me.

"and, we say "calum killed her" because the letter jay wrote before she died, was like she blamed calum for her death." luke added.

"calum has never murdered anyone." michael patted calum.

i feel so stupid. i walked up to calum to hug him, but he just ran away. i started to cry.

if this is love, this sure is a real funny type of love.
