~A/N: AHHHH! I'M OBSESSED WITH PHAN! IT'S INSANE! I THINK IT'S BAD FOR MY HEALTH! Or maybe it's good for my health, seeing as I'm a fangirl. I dunno.~

Taurtis finished texting (Y/N).

"She's coming," he said with a smile.

I was sitting on the couch, not really knowing what to do. I mean, there wasn't really anything to do. Sam and Taurtis' apartment had been robbed of everything except the couch, the bed, the closet, and everything in the closet.

Sam had left the apartment earlier, say that he 'just needed to take a walk.' I didn't believe him, but I let him go anyways, not wanting to get him angry. That was over an hour ago. He still hasn't come back.

The door opened. A T.V. strode through, placing itself down in the empty T.V. stand. There was a person behind the T.V. It was Sam.

He completely ignored me sitting there, eyebrow raised, and walked out of the apartment again. He came back in with a GameCrab and a box. Sam quickly hooked up the T.V. and GameCrab and turned the T.V. on. Only then did I realize that the T.V. was the newest and most expensive one in the store. This caused me to be confused more.

"Where'd you get that?" I asked.

Sam turned to me, a blank expression on his face.

"You didn't steel it, did you?"

Sam blinked once. Then he said, "No, of course not."

I gave him an are-you-serious look. He smiled childishly.

"I just borrowed them without asking."

"That's called stealing, Sam."

"Pfft, whatever."

Then a voice came from the open doorway.

"Uh, well, looks like I can't knock."

We turned our heads towards the door. (Y/N) was standing there, bouncing on her toes.

Taurtis came running around the corner. When he saw (Y/N), he smiled widely.

"(Y/N)! You're here!" Taurtis exclaimed.

"Hi Taurtis," (Y/N) replied.

"You guys wanna watch a movie?" Sam asked. "I've got all three Lord of the Rings films." (A/N: I love LotR. Sue me)

Taurtis and (Y/N) nodded. They sat down on the couch, and Sam got the movie started. Then he sat down next to me. His hand brushed against mine, I could feel my cheeks heat up just a little. Then he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

I smiled as I continued to watch the movie. (A/N: heeheehee, cheeky cheeky me ;) )

(Y/N)

You were on the second film now. You got up.

"Taurtis, where's the bathroom?" you asked.

"Just over there, down the hall," he said, pointing. You nodded and walked away.

When you got to the bathroom, you closed the door and locked it. Then you turned on the sink. You splashed your face with a bit of water. Then more, then more, until your face was dripping wet.

Throughout the movie, Taurtis had been sneakily grabbing your hand or wrapping his arm around your shoulders. It was obvious he liked you.

"No," you said. "I can't fall in love again."

The memories flooded back into your mind. The humiliation, the torture, the heartbreak, it was too much. Too much pain. That's the reason you moved. You had tried to escape your old, cruel life. You couldn't have history repeat itself.

You pulled back your sleeves, looking at your scars again. You couldn't have Taurtis, or anybody for that matter, see them. It would only end badly. Only Chan knew, and that was one more person than you intended.

After a while, you left the room. You knew you couldn't go back to the couch and finish the movie. Instead, you decided to head into the bedroom. Hopefully the boys would fall asleep, and you could sneak past them and leave quietly.

Taurtis

Time passed. The movie was still on, but I wasn't really paying attention to it. (Y/N) had left to go to the bathroom, and Sam and Grian had fallen asleep on one another. They looked cute together.

I thought. (Y/N) had been in bathroom a really long time. Was something wrong?

I got up and started walking towards the bathroom. But I stopped. There were sobs coming from the bedroom. Then I heard (Y/N)'s voice.

"You're such an idiot, (Y/N). Why'd you even come?"

I peeked into the room. (Y/N) was sitting on the bed, head bowed. She had her hands in her lap, palms facing upward. Tears dripped onto her skin.

"(Y/N)-?" I said. She looked up. Her eyes weren't puffy, but they were red. She was surprised when she saw me standing there.

"Taurtis..." she said. "I can't...I have to leave...I'm sorry..."

She got up and started to quickly walk past me. I grabbed her hand.

"(Y/N), don't leave," I said. "Please."

"Why?"

"Because...I need to tell you something."

I pulled her close. Her face heated up.

"Taurtis...I-"

I cut her off by kissing her. After a few seconds, she kissed back. This kiss was soft and sweet, I would call it perfect. I grabbed her wrists and pulled her closer to me, not breaking the kiss.

After what felt like an eternity, we broke apart. I looked down at our intertwined hands. Then I saw something peek out from her sleeve, on her wrist. Curious, I pulled back her sleeve.

My mouth fell open. (Y/N) pulled her hand away, stepping back.

"I-I have to go," she said, turning around. Before I could stop her, she ran, right out of the apartment.

I snapped myself back to reality and chased after her. I stopped outside, the cool night air hitting me and making the hair on my arms stand on end. It was no use. She was gone.

~A/N: call me Queen Cliche, 'cause this just got cheesy! ;)~
