"Why?"
"The excitement and happy glow you had when you left is gone, you practically brushed your boyfriend off and you missed dinner. What's going on?"
" I'm okay." He arches his brow as if he doesn't believe me. I sigh and speak up again. " I thought it was my day but I guess I was wrong." I tell him with a shrug.
"What happened?" He repeats once again.
" I don't want to talk about it." I mumble, walking ahead of him now.
" He didn't make it did he?" I stop in my tracks, before turning around to face him.
"H-how do you know that?" I ask, clearly surprised.
"Because I saw him practising with his buddies earlier."
"'He forgot." I explain with a shrug.
He sighs, pulling me by arm to the closest bench. He let's a few people pass by before speaking u

"Stalking me again?" Roman's friend says, the minute he takes notice of me."No, I just wanted to know if he was here today." I say, glancing around for Roman, but again, there is no sign of him.He never called me right after that night and more over, he hasn't been to school for two whole days.I've noticed and that says a lot." What does it matter to you?" He asks, shutting his locker door." It matters because-" I bite down on my tongue, preventing myself from saying anymore.He arches his brow in question of my silence."Is he okay?" I try again."He's fine, not that it should concern you." Someone says from behind me, coming around to stand in front of me and next to him.Roman's girlfriend.I know she's right, that it shouldn't concern me, but I can't ignore the worrying feeling in me about him.

I watch on quietly as Danny's muscles flexed and stretched in the water, he was so fluid, so flexible yet strong as he swam.His tall frame moved so fast in the water yet so captivating. I loved watching him practice alone, it gave me a sense of pride in him, to be his only audience and greatest supporter. No one was present right now, how could they? With it being early in the morning.When he went into that water, he was unstoppable and a pleasure to watch. I never grew tired of watching him. With music playing in my earphones and having to watch him, these were the times we surely had privacy.His muscles bulged and stretched as he finally got out of the pool, my heart beat twice as hard when he took notice of my seated frame on the benches.Switching off my music and placing the phone on the bench, I rise to my feet and start towards him."How long have been here?" He asks wip

" R-Roman, what are you doing here?!" I whisper yell, walking past him to check out the door, to see ift" You still have got time, no one will notice you here, so-" " So what?" He speaks up." What do you mean so what?....Someone could find you here and you could get into trouble?! " I whisper yell, starting for the window, wanting to look for an escape route for him.I wouldn't want us to get into trouble.I'm spun around by arm before I can reach the window." Why do you care?" " What?" I ask with a frown." Why do you care because you've never shown interest in what I do before." He arches his brow." Roman....." He holds up his hand, silencing me." What are you doing Hazel Grace?" " I should be asking you the same question, you're here, more like sneaking in and wanting to get

"Come on." I'm grabbed by arm away from my locker.I can feel myself being dragged away from the locker, the letter is still in my hand yet my eyes and mind are focused on his name.I'm knocked out of my trance when I realize that I'm moving further and further away from my locker. Before I can let myself be dragged all the way to an empty classroom, I try pull my arm back but he tightens his grip on me."Let go of me!" I shout.I'm set free and I stumble back, till my back hits against a locker. He turns around to face me and hazel eyes meet my own.Something is shoved in my face, before I can say anything. I lean my head back to take a good look at it.He's holding up his own letter, with my own name written on the bottom."This doesn't mean anything to me." He says, pulling the paper away from my face.I don't say anything, but just loo

All I can do is push my legs to walk faster as I try get away before he notices me. I never thought I'd see him again after what happened that night, he played the biggest part to the humiliation, fright and life threatening I faced.He was the director of the show, from start to finish. He'd been out for revenge, but many who were present don't realize this.They believed him when he said he didn't mean any harm, but we both know he was lying through his teeth. When we were alone in the same room, I felt uncomfortable all the time and with good reason, he had known about what happened between Danny and Amber, that even though it was a misunderstanding, because of how hurt he was, he wanted them to feel how he felt, that betrayal and hurt. We never knew each other yet he targeted me for his foolish games, for some it wasn't much of a big deal but to me, it was. He toyed with my emotions and tried to make me look

I've totally given up, I'm now convinced that he won't show up.Why did I have to have him as a partner? Couldn't it be someone, who would be available at this time?Looking around me, I notice that a majority of people have received their ribbons and that only a few, still have nothing in hand. Even Sam, who's partner surprisingly is a friend of Hailey's, has got a ribbon.I was surely surprised when he rose to his feet when he was called, and she was by his side. I was curious as to why he didn't tell me. Did he think I wouldn't be interested or what?I would ask him once we were alone.Speaking of Sam, he glances at me once again to check, and like the other times, I shake my head no. Opening my mouth to say something to him, his eyes move behind me where they widen a fraction, before a smirk comes onto his face.He looks back at me and gestures for me to

I might have only sat once on a bike but I've never travelled on it. I've had to hold on to Roman and try keep calm as we both travelled to where we needed to be.I wasn't thrilled about my plans being interrupted, but I knew what I needed to do and the faster time went, the sooner I could return to Danny and we could enjoy our first night away.I still couldn't believe that Roman showed up like that, as if he knew the perfect time to interrupt us. He is so demanding it annoys the heck out of me.If this partnership were to even work, I had to put my foot down and not let him put me in a corner and leave me with no choice, like he did back at the Academy. The thing with Roman is that he's always been demanding, growing up. Thinking back now, I used to tolerate it but not anymore, we are grown now.We finally arrive at our destination and before I can have a look, we are let through a gate and led to a s

"I asked you for a simple thing, but you couldn't do it, could you Roman?!" I whisper yell, dragging out a half asleep Roman by arm, out of Rosy's room."It's not my fault you resisted when I tried waking you up." He shrugs, rubbing at his eyes."Don't you dare lie, you didn't do such a thing. You just had to keep me here a little longer." I point at his chest."And why would I do that, it's not like I enjoy your company so much that I'd want you to stay any longer." He throws at me.Ouch.I have to take a few seconds to recover from what he's just said. I don't know why that kinda stung."Well if you wanted me nowhere near you so much, why did you even go further with this partnership?" I ask." I couldn't stand to know you'd be some idiot's partner, who knows what they could have been thinking around you or worse, done." He says in disgust.

Months later....I can't believe we finally did it, we graduated. I am more then ready to change the scenery and head on to college, with Roman ofcourse. He totally surprised me when he told me about how he'd had everything covered, before I could even start stressing about it. He literally begged that I let him have his way and darn it, I found myself agreeing before I could think about it, when he suddenly pouted, giving me innocent eyes and all.He can be so sneaky when he wants to.I finally left the Academy in good terms with the place, no longer was there fear or anxiety. I walked away with a smile, being in steady ground with some people. They have been a part of my story, a journey in which would honestly take us having a sit down, in order for me to retell.The life I have lived has been full of twists and turns, ups and downs and though at times, I felt like giving up

I can't get his words out of my head, no matter how much I try. What he said, has brought so many thoughts into mind and those words, could only mean one thing, whatever it is, is important. His body language and tone suggested it and I can't think otherwise.I know that he has given me free reign over his phone, like I have done so too, but I just couldn't find myself checking his phone as if I am snooping around. I mean I trust Roman so much, it's bloody impossible for me not to.I can't go and straight out ask him, because that would mean I was eavesdropping. I didn't mean to overhear his private conversation, I just happened to hear, that's all. There are so many things I don't want do, that may come out wrong in his eyes. " Urgh, this is so exhausting!" I groan out." What's exhausting?" My head snap up in the direction of his voice, where he stands at the doorway.Before I can an

A moan slips out of his lips as I plant kisses along his skin. My focus is sorely on his neck and under his jaw. " Baby, what are you doing?" He asks, his sleepy voice making him sound so hot right now." Morning." I murmur in his ear before continuing with my assualt right where his weak spot is." Hazel." He groans, placing his hands on my waist, squeezing it and causing me to jump slightly.I lean back to look down at him." Will you wake up now?" A smirk plays on his lips whilst still keeping his eyes closed." Roman, look at me already." I whine." But I'm still sleepy." He says, trying to fight off a grin." No you're not. I'm here and that's more then enough reason to want to wake up." " Nope." I gape in disbelief of his answer. Fine, if he wants to sleep, then I'll leave him alone, damn O'

" Hazel?" I snap out of the trance I was just in, turning to look at my dad.His eyes show concern, even his approach towards me is slow and careful. I watch him silently as he sits on the coffee table, infront of me.We stare at each other for a moment, before he sighs, taking my hand in his own." This is the second time you've been up like this, in the middle of the night. You need to sleep sweetheart."" He wont talk to me. " I say numbly." Hazel...."" Roman wont talk to me, he wont answer my calls. I'm selfish aren't I?"" Hazel don't do this." I pull my hand away, cutting him off." I should feel different after having made this decision, but I'm not. " I rise to my feet. " Being here has made me realise that it's no longer just about me anymore."I walk away and head up to my room, feeling exhausted but not enough

I'm sorry.They are the words that my grandparents couldn't help but repeat too many times. It's been years since I'd last seen them and I thought I would never see them again. Tensions and disagreements were the cause of us seperating. After my mother's passing, nothing was the same again. My grandparents never saw eye to eye with my father again, both parties mourned differently. My grandparents thought it would be best for them to leave with me and raise me, whilst my father had time to mourn yet my father disagreed. He refused to let me go.The tension was too much and it was not good for either one of us. They suddenly left and communication thinned, until it was no more. Though it saddened me to lose out on contact with them, I accepted that I would never see them again. Years passed but now they are back, they want to mend our relationship and right, their wrongs.

It truly hurt me to see my dad the way he was last night. The image is still stuck in my head. His words caused an ache to my heart. It hurts that my dad feels so hurt, the blame that he placed on his himself was not right.I don't want him to constantly blame himself, for what happened to me. It's not his fault. I want him to understand this. I have to set things right, I know I have to. Things cant go on like this, it's exhausting to go through this rollercoaster ride once again.It's like my family and I can't catch a break. We need a break from all this. It's my first morning being home, having woken up in my own bed and breathing homey air. It feels weird not waking up next to Roman or him, not being the first one I see. We are so used to being around each other, now only being a phone call away just feels different. Everything feels different but not too bad, though I miss him terribly but being

I could never catch a break.I thought I was done with hospitals already, now to find myself in here again, it tells a different story. I have woken up and Roman is the first person I see. His head is rested on my bed, his hand holding mine. I shift slightly and try pull my hand away but his grip tightens, refusing to let me go.I close my eyes and will myself not to cry. I am so exhausted emotionally and I feel like I can't deal with what happened to me and what, I had learnt not so long ago.I almost died again.I faced death but the difference is that I remember now. I thought I was done with the lies, I guess not. I knew that there would be people who did not like me, but for someone to hate me enough to kill me, that's a whole different level. I have had enough honestly and a part of me, wants me to quit on life but I know I can't. Roman, my dad, my family and friends wont allow me to.

You stole everything from me.What does that even mean?" How can I steal something from you, when I don't even know you?......You're Roman's friend, no, you aren't anymore. " I shake my head." When Roman finds out about this, he will never forgive you. Never." I say, turning my back to them.I can't believe she would do this to me, to Roman. She is Kyle's partner in crime and she's been pretending to be a good person." Don't you dare turn your back on me Hazel!" She shouts." I can do what ever I f*ckin' want!..... You can't tell me what to do and who do you think you are to order me around huh?!" I say, glaring at her over my shoulder." Oh you'll be eating those words very soon you lil' b***!"" I'm sure I wont. Not when I'll be out of here in no time. Roman is coming for me." I say in confidence of my words.I turn b
