"Dad, please say something." I plead quietly.
His eyes snap to me.
" I'm taking you home. For good this time." He says, jumping off the bed.
" Dad, come on I can't just leave!" I say incredulously, rising to my feet too.
" You almost died Hazel!!" He shouts with eyes wide.
" I know that dad. I was there!...B-but that's not what I want to hear right now. I need my dad. I need my dad!" I cry out, tears trailing down my face.
His head drops, breathing hard.
" I failed you didnt I?"
"Dad." I quickly go over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest.
He quickly holds me tight as he releases a shaky breath.
" I almost lost you, I almost lost the last thing I have left to live for." He says with a shaky breath, causing a pinch in my chest.
" I'm sorry sweetheart, I'm s

Moving in with Roman, came with a deal. Dad made a deal, that if I were to move in with Roman, I had to attend therapy for atleast a month.Of course I agreed. I wanted more then anything to get out of the academy and to live elsewhere. It's not that dad didn't trust Roman or anything, but he wanted to ensure that I would be safe, as well as safe. To me, Roman was the word safe. I've always felt safe around Roman because I know that he would protect me as I would him. Protecting each other just became a natural thing for us, eversince we were young.With today being the day that I moved, I had everything packed and ready to go and was simply waiting for my dad to show up. I don't know how he managed to sort everything out so quick with the school, but he did and now in a few moments, I would be out of here.Avery was both saddened by the fact that she was losing a roommate but she was

3 weeks later......Winter break is approaching and already the change in weather has made itself known. Today is one of those really cold days and staying at home seems best.Gosh, my home.I still haven't gotten used to it. Roman and I are actually living together. It's been quite a busy couple of weeks I must say. We've had a number of visitors, mainly my dad, my friends, Roman's family which obviously means his stepmom and Rosy, since him and his dad aren't really talking. Well Roman not talking to his dad that is.And when it comes to his friends, lets just say I've been doing a pretty good job at avoiding them. After what had happened at the hospital, everything is still as thick as when we had that little stand off. Everything has been a little calmer, now that I am not living at the Academy

" Roman?" I blink twice, trying to make sense of why he would be here in my room, this early. More over watching me sleep."Hey."" Morning." I mumble, sitting upright.We look at each other for a while without saying a word. " How long have you been in here?" I ask, tucking my hair behind my ears." Not long. " " What's the matter?" I search his eyes and I sense him bothered somehow.A minute passes before he speaks up. "Your birthday is coming up soon." I look away from him. " Is that why you're in here, watching me like a creep." He doesn't answer." I don't celebrate it anymore." I say, turning to face him again. "Those days are gone now. It's just a day and nothing more." " Because of me?" " No." I say, getting out of bed. " It's because of what happened isn'

His name is Jacob, the guy who had returned my book to me.He is simply a cool, down to earth guy that I like talking to. We had coffee once when I was done with therapy, I had popped by the nearest coffee shop whilst waiting for Roman and he simply showed up. He had been around and I invited him over, just because I felt like it and I didn't regret my decision.Conversation flowed easily and I found myself laughing, he gave me a reason to not even glance around me. Because he couldn't stay long and had to be elsewhere, he couldn't meet Roman. I am actually glad about that because it turned out, that Roman had been in a bad mood. I feel bad for half listening to him vent that day, since I was still in that calm and good mood I received, in my time spent talking to Jacob.I wanted Roman to meet Jacob and I think he will like him. Jacob plays the piano and is in the band. He likes to read, just like I do. He makes me laugh a

He mentioned Roman and I was already agreeing.He took me to the coffee shop close by, which was a walk away and the only place I felt comfortable talking at. Thankfully he had an umbrella ready, so we didn't get wet. The coffee shop smelt like coffee, obviously, but the earthy colour theme with the dark floor, brown and creame white walls and a hint of orange here and there. The place screamed cozy and comfy, just what I liked.He chose the booth at the back with a window seat, sitting opposite me. A waitress came by and we both seemed to order our own different hot beverages and nothing more. I took a good look at him and one thing came to mind. He looks just like Roman." You wanted to talk about Roman." I speak up, not wanting to drown in the silence." Yes, Roman hates me." I blink at him, surprised by what he just said. " You don't have to say anything to that, we both know that it's true.

I woke up all sweaty and with my heart racing. I had a bad dream. It's the same one that seems to visit me right around this time of year. I wish it would leave me alone but it's more of a haunting memory turned bad dream. I tried to forget, I tried really hard but each time the day comes, my birthday comes, it feels like I am taken back to that dark place.The same where I was a prisoner in my own skin.I sigh, pushing back my hair away from my face. It's still in the early morning and checking my phone for the time, I see that I have an hour or so before my alarm goes off. Getting out of bed and needing something to keep my mind distracted, I get out of my room and head downstairs.My stomach starts to grumble in hunger and I remember that I didn't exactly eat, before going to bed. Might as well make myself something to eat. I decide on making myself a bowl

I kissed my best friend and I l-liked it. Oh my gosh, I'm so horrible." Hazel, open the door please!" Roman calls from the other side of the door as he knocks.I don't answer, still trying to come into grips with what just happened downstairs." Come on baby please, open the door!" He called me ' baby'. Oh my, I'm really dreaming right now." Hazel -" " I kissed you Roman!....Oh my gosh I took advantage of my best friend!" I gasp as my words sink in." What the fu - no Hazel you did not. I kissed you first and you know what, I want to do it again!" My eyes widen at his admittance.He would?.A few seconds pass before I turn around and unlock the door, opening it slowly and nervously. I hear him come in and I don't dare look at him, until I close the door.I quickly glance at him

I have never laughed and smiled as much as I do, in a short space of time, like I've done being around Roman. It's only been hours and never a full day since he confessed his feelings to me. I've lost count of the many times in which he's stolen kisses. He can be quite sneaky when he wants to. Either way, I like it and I feel strongly about everything. Though hours in but like I had said, things feel natural and good.It was a good idea to skip school today because then I would have missed all this. And even if I went to school, I'd be bored out of my mind. So staying home was best. We had spent most of our day cuddling, eating, making out, binge watching on movies and just enjoying each others company.We had eventually fallen asleep on the couch, whilst watching a movie. Having woken up first after hours, I had found myself just watching him sleep. It truly was a pleasure, to see him so relaxed, so at peace and damn
