DAWN. "Oh, I'm going to miss you so much, Dawn. So, so much. I can't believe you're leaving me. I can't believe I'm allowing you to do this, but I know you have to. Everything you have said up to now are all true, which is why I'm giving you this freedom. I love you so much, Dawn, and I'm going to miss you so much. "Aunt cries as she squeezes me tightly for the hundredth time and I let out a chuckle, hugging her once again, just like I've been doing. "I know, Aunt. I know, I'm going to miss you too and I'll try to call you now and then to let you know how things go. "I give her a small smile, pulling away from her and she nods, her eyes suddenly getting teary and I know she's about to cry. Again!"Aunt, please don't cry. I'm not leaving to die, I'm leaving to pull myself together and become a better person. "I assure her, and she nods, wiping away her tears. "Oh, I know. I know that very much, it's just being so l

RYDER.She's here again. In my arms. Even if she doesn't want to be here, she's here again and it'll be the last time I have with her. This time for real; there will be no going back. She gazes at me, her eyes moving across my face as if she's trying to weigh her options, but I know her. I know her far more than she realizes and I know she wants me just as much as I want to hold her in my arms once again before she embarks on this stupid journey of hers that she thinks will keep me away from her or make her forget me. She won't be able to, not because I don't want her to, but because we are both in too deep and it's just too late to want to start over again. I know I'm terrible to her. I have been so selfish with her but if being selfish is what I need to do to keep her from leaving; the selfish is what I'm going to be, despite everything I have done. Despite how much she has hurt because of me. The many times she has cried because of me. The pain no

DAWN. I breathe in, inhaling in his sweaty self when he wraps his hand around my waist to pull me to his chest, the other one going to my head and smoothing down my hair, just like he always does.  "Let me go. You are covered in probably dried sweat and some more. “ I groan, trying to push at his chest, but that only ends up in me, trailing my fingers down his chest, loving the feel of his muscles beneath my fingers.  "But you smell so fucking good. " He coos, burying his nose in my hair and sniffing it before laying his head against my neck. "Plus, you can't deny that you don't love this, feeling this feverish body against yours. " "Hands off me, Stone!" I snap and he lets out a chuckle before pulling away, eyes moving across my face before dropping and trailing over my body. His eyes linger on my legs, and I roll my eyes when a look of disapproval crosses over his features. Knowing exactly where this is going. 

"Why are we here, again?" Bryan groans beside me as we push our way through sweaty bodies, and I roll my eyes.  "Why are you here again?" I retaliate, frowning when a guy bumps into me and doesn't even have the fucking decency to apologize as I watch him skip away, Bryan trying to get to him but failing to do so as we mix up with the crowd once again.  "Because I would not allow you to come here alone!" "Exactly, so stop complaining. It was your choice to follow me here, even when I said not to. " I raise my voice a little to the chatters that suddenly fills the air. How the fuck is it so crowded here? I can barely even make out where I am heading.  "Which I'm glad I fucking did. I can't imagine you getting through here on your own, you own me one, Meek. " I roll my eyes, flipping him off as I dodge through bodies, instantly regretting my decision to dive through when the smell of alcohol, smoke and sweat

DAWN. "Move. "I stop the movement of my pen and raise my head to the direction of that voice and it's truly him. "Stop staring at me like you just saw an alien, Meek. "He says as he takes his seat, and I let out a chuckle, shaking my head. "I'm just surprised you came here. You rarely do. And you have been missing for days. What the fuck happened to you? "I shrug, looking back to where the lecturer is currently uttering things that make little sense to me. I have a lot of studying to do later. "I'm not here for the class. I'm here for you. "Why does that make my heart beats so fast?"Why?"I ask, my voice sounding so unsure, like a high school girl who's talking to her crush for the first time and is about to pee in her thongs... Or panties?"Curiosity Killed the Cat, Meek. Pay attention to class. "I roll my eyes before moving my gaze back to the lecturer again, but that
