I walked away from him till I hear him shout my name numerous times. "Laura!" Laura!" but it didn't stop me. I just kept walking almost out of the school parking lot till he pulls me back again. God! When will he stop bugging me!?!?!?

Laura: Let me go Ross! I want nothing to do with you!

Ross: Wait! Let me explain myself

What is he talking about?!

Laura:(tries to be calm) There isn't anything to explain about Ross, it's over, we're over. Just let it go

Ross: Just please let me explain

Laura:(Sighs) What?

Ross: Well--

Heather:(walks up to them) Well hello Rossy (smiles clingy to his arm)

Ross:(lets go of Laura's wrist)

Laura:(takes her wrist looking at them) What were you gonna say Ross?

Ross:(sighs) It's nothing

Laura: That's what I thought

I snap my body back forward and walk not bothering to stay for their "little" make out session. I couldn't help to take a tiny peek. I slowly turn my head a bit to their direction and just as I thought, they were making out. I roll my eyes and just kept walking. As I kept walking though I wonder, what was Ross gonna tell me before his little she devil girlfriend came? Or what was he even talking about. I could feel tears streaming down my face, I was hurt. Seeing Ross move on hurts me so bad but yet I am still mad at him. It's like half of me is still in love with him and then the other half is like total lost in interest. The cold wind was blowing in my face, going through my hair which is making my tears cold. I wipe them up and go inside my house and go up to my room, slamming the door shut and just cry. I was in a corner, in my room and I was just in full blown tears. It hurt so bad, the pain was eating me alive, all for it to heal is for this whole thing to give me an explanation. Just one explanation. Soon I got a text. I wiped my tears and looked at my phone seeing a text.... from Ross?! What does he want?! I open it up and see what he has to say for himself.

"Come at the park at 11:00pm and I'll explain everything to you.
~Ross"

Woah..... I don't know what to believe right now. It could be a trap or it could be the truth. Maybe I'll get my answers, but maybe I won't. It's all to confusing right now, I wish I had my sister, she would know what to do. I also wish I had my mom, she would make this all better and I wouldn't be like this, I would be happy and not miserable. Whatever, I'm going, life is worth taking risk, like my dad says;

"Life is to short to play it safe. So forget the risks and take the fall. If it's worth the risk, then it's worth it all."

Whenever I was torn apart over something I would always remember that that quote, I'm taking the risk and hopefully it is worth it all. I texted him that I would come.... it's worth it all now.

A few hours later

It's 8:00pm now and I'm currently eating dinner and watching tv but I couldn't pay attention to the show, all I could think was that if I made the right decision. Was it right to say yes? Was it all a scam? Will I get an explanation? I don't know. I hate how the world is so confusing at times or in my case, all the time. All I ever wanted was to have a life like my parents did before their incident. Be happy, fall in love and have a family together then dying together. That's what I want but I don't think I'll ever get it. Just then a Ding! interrupted my thoughts. I grabbed my phone and saw another text from Ross.

"Change of plans, get over here now. I'm already here waiting for you.
~Ross"

Well this is sudden but I have to go since I told him that I would be coming anyways. I put my jacket on, grabbed my phone and walked out of my house to the park that Ross and I usually go to. I was a little excited, mad and nervous. You would to if you were in my shoes. I finally got to the park and saw a faint figure there, it was probably Ross. I walk over to him and hesitantly tap his shoulder. He turns around.

Laura: Hey

Ross: Hey

Laura: So..... you said you wanted to talk to me

Ross: Well..... I have something different in mind

Laura:(confused) Like what?

Ross: I'm sorry

What is he talking about? He's getting me confused a lot right now. Just then, I got punched in the face. I stumbled back but regained my balance. I look at Ross and saw that his hands are balled up into fist and he had blood on one of his knuckes. I felt the part where it hurt and I felt a warm liquid on my face, blood. I look at Ross scared and shocked. What is he doing? He's not like this.

Laura: W-What are you doing Ross?

Ross:(ignores her and punches her in the gut)

Laura:(grunts and falls to her knees)

Ross:(starts beating her)

I don't know what's going on but I didn't bother to fight, I was scared that it would anger him more. I just took all the punches and kicks and all the pain that he has in his body. I felt a hard punch at the back of my head and that was the end of my vision. I was knocked out cold.
