Our feet hit the pavement silently as Jeremy and I walk hand in hand. We've been out for almost the whole day.

I got a text at about four from my mom that they're leaving and that they had business to take care of. I'm just really sad that I couldn't see them off.

But Jeremy and I were at that spot of his again. And let me tell you it looks so much better when its bright and shining out.

The snow is still there on the ground, and the water has frozen but it still looks absolutely gorgeous.

"Okay,  I spy with my little eye. Something... red." He says.

My eyes wander around. Looking for something red. Which I dont see at first, until I squint my eyes.

"Oh, oh. That baby's stroller." I say almost jumping two feet high.

I slide a bit and land on my butt.

Jeremy's laughter fills my ears as he offers me a hand and pulls me up.

"You're cute." Is all he says.

I smile and look up at him. He also smiles down at me.

"Want to go watch a movie or something?" He asks.

"Yea, okay. " I say.

We walk to the campus where we decide to head to my dorm. He lies on his back while my back snuggles into his.

His hand drapes over my waist.

"Oh, let's watch Pitch Perfect." I ask excitedly.

"What's that?" He asks.  A loud gasp rips from my throat. 

"You dont know what Pitch Perfect is? You have to watch it. " I say, seriously urging him.

He sits quietly as we watch the Bella's do their thing.

As the movie reaches the end, I feel myself falling asleep.

And then I retire to my dreams.

"Hey" a weird man whom I dont know says to me.

"Hi?" I say as a question not as a statement.

"Uh, are you okay mam' you dont look okay." He tells me.

"Oh, I'm okay thank you." I tell him

"No, you have a blue eye and your face is swollen." He says.

I pat my fingers over my face and flinch in pain when I do that. Where could I have gotten those.

"Do you need any help? I could help you I'm a police officer." He tells me.

"Oh, no thank you." I tell him.

"But you're a victim of abuse. Your friend Allyson Ross sent me here to check on you." He says.

And just like that I wake up. A victim of abuse? Allyson Ross?

In my dream was Allyson married? To Colton Ross? What the hell type of dream was that?

When I look beside me, Jeremy is sleeping next to me. His mouth is slightly open and light snores are escaping his lips.

I smile and leave a peck on his lips.

I stand up from the bed and stretch my tired bones. I then walk into the kitchen.

Is there something we could eat. Oh here's frozen pizza, I could eat that.

I take it out of the box and I put it on a pan and straight into the oven. When I look at the clock that's hanging just above the fridge , I see that it's eight PM.

Mom and Dad must already be there.

I send them a quick text.

Me: Sorry I missed sending you guys off. I love you and I hope you made it safe. I love you.

"Hey." A voice says. He stands behind me on the sink and places his arms around me. He leaves a kiss on my check and down to my neck.

Sending a shockwave down my entire body. His hands dome over my tiny frame and he caresses every part of my body.

His neck kisses turn to licks and he moves slightly. Then he turns me to kiss me passionately.

He squeezes me against him.

I turn off the oven and lead him to my bedroom.

He pulls his shirt off and I mimic him.

He smiles to himself as he watches me. He's spotting a tent on his pants. I pull the sweats off and left in my underwear.

He pulls me to him and he kisses my body. He too pulls his sweats off and pushes us to the bed.

My back flat against it. He maneuvers his lips everywhere. There's a dull aching in my chore as he goes lowers.

He straps my bra off and my boobs are fully exposed. He watches then for a hot minute then looks back at me.

"You're beautiful." He says in a hoarse voice.

He pulls my panties off and stares directly at my womanhood. And then he does something, he flickers his tongue against my chore and my back arches from the bed.

He continues like that, until he puts the combination of a finger and his tongue in.

I feel my mouth dry as I'm moaning uncontrollably.

I smile at him. As I pull his boxer shorts off. His manhood bounces out. Nothing can define the fear that fills my heart right now as I see how big he is.  Is it going to hurt.

He kisses me softly, as he aligns himself with my core. He pushes himself in slowly.

And at the same pace I almost yell out loud. Tears roll down my cheeks.

I hold his arms, digging my nails into his arm. The relaxed face he pulls makes it less painful.

He seems to be enjoying it. He pulls out and pushes in again. With less slowness than last time in more faster. 

He picks up my legs and puts them on his shoulders.

"Are you ready?" He asks hoarsely.  Before I can ask for what. He pushes himself into me fast. The pace is so fast that our skins collide and make a loud clapping noise.

He does this for some time before he pulls out of me, leaving me feeling empty. He spills himself on the floor. He looks to be in euphoria just as much as I am.

"You're bleeding." He says a while after he watched me.

He walks away into the bathroom. And I'm left wondering if what just happened really did happen.

He enters the room and wipes me. And the floor.

I take his shirt and I throw it on. While he throws on some sweats. And we sit back and cuddle.

This time we watch fast and furious.  His hand caresses my face, he missed the entire introduction of the movie while staring at me.

My phone rings. Its Ally.

"Hey." I say with a smile.

There's crying coming from behind her.

"Gem you need to come home." She says.

"What, why?" I ask.

"Gem its serious you need to come home now." She says. The crying behind her only gets louder.

"Take me home." I tell Jeremy. I slip my sweats on and a hoodie.

"What's happening." He asks. As he opens the car door for me.

"I dont know but it sounded serious. And someone was crying. "  I tell him. He shakes his head.

Maybe Annabelle's wedding was cancelled or maybe the planner dropped us.

When we reach the home, I take Jeremy's hand and we run up the porch and into the house.

I don't knock this time, I just push into the house. I find a crying Annabelle on the couch and she hugs me. Its longer than usual.

"What's happening?" I ask. I'm starting to feel very ominous.

Alice walks to me. And she walks me to the couch and she hugs me.

"Gem I need you to relax okay?" She asks. Why is she involving me in Annabelle's life? I watch a confused Jeremy standing there.

"What's wrong Aunty Alice?" I ask her.

"Gem. Just promise me that you'll be okay. And know that were here for you." She says.

Ally walks in and she stares at me . Her eyes are sad.

"Okay?" I ask. This is starting to get annoying.  What the hell are they hiding?

"Gem, it's your parents." Alice starts, her voice is calming. But nothing could ever calm the storm that is fighting to escape inside me. What's wrong with my parents?

Oh no!

"Your parents have been involved in an accident." Alice says.

I immediately go numb.

"And they... they did not survive. " Alice says and she cries louder than me.

I stay quiet. I just stare blankly at Jeremy who seems to want nothing more than to hold me.

My parents are dead.
