"Where the hell are the clothes he bought me?" I murmured to myself, opening and closing the drawers in the corner of my room. "Beyyonnd!" I called out. "What?" He said from the doorway, he looked rather annoyed that I yelled for him.

What the hell was he doing up here? Was he watching me change clothes?
I shook away my thoughts. " Where are the clothes you bought me?" I asked. "Well," he began in a low tone "you could just go naked." I felt my cheeks heat up, "Wouldn't you like that?" I snapped. "There's no need to get snippy" he retorted, "I was just playing around."

Damn it! I have to control my temper. I can't let him think anything is wrong

I breathed deeply and put on a fake attitude. "I'm sorry" I murmured "I'm just really wanting to leave, I can't wait to see where we're going."
"Really?" He skeptically inquired. "Mmmhmm" I overzealously replied. "Okay then," he replied. " The car will be here in about an hour and a half, your clothes are in the boxes downstairs" he said gesturing towards the door.

"Okay" I declared, making my way towards the door. "Could you, uhh, maybe show me where that is?" He stood for a second, staring at me, dazed. "Beyond?" I cried trying to break his daze. "Huh?" He spoke as he shook his head abruptly, as though shaking away a thought. "Are you going to show me where my clothes are?" I inquired. "Oh, of course," he stated ushering me along.

We stepped into a quiet dark room, almost like a basement. Beyond swiftly stepped from behind me to turn on a small dim light in the centre of the room. "Your clothes are over there" he voiced pointing to a small pyramid of boxes standing feebly in the counter of the room. "Thank you" I expressed as I made my way the boxes.

I rummaged through the boxes to find something to wear. It wasn't going to be easy to find something in my wardrobe to hide the fact I was starving, or the scars and bruises I had acquired. Let alone the heat I would most likely endure.

"I want to look nice today.." I murmured whilst tossing aside a heavy winter coat.

What? Why? He is planning on killing me today! Damn it Julie, you can't keep doing this shit, just try and focus on LIVING instead of your teenage feelings about this guy.

I breathed deeply. "I'll just wear this" I murmured under a heavy breath, I decided on shorts and a green tank top. I decided to change in the storage room, rather than walking upstairs. Just as I took off the clothes I had temporarily dressed myself in the light in the storage room went out. "God damn it" I squealed, running from the storage room half dressed.
"Woah Julie!" Beyond cried as I ran into him. "Sorry" I replied shyly, "the light went out and I..I"

"Julie" he interrupted, I know you have a slight fear of the dark, don't worry."

I looked up at him and something clicked. I had an idea. If tonight was the last night I had to live, then I would get everything I could out of him.

"Julie" he said in a low tone. "Did you hear me?"

"I Love you" I blurted, seemingly without thought, or reason. Nothing but pure feeling guiding the words from my mouth.
Beyond froze a confused glare on his face. "What did you say?" He inquired.

"Beyond" I said with confidence, staring straight into his red orbs, standing on my tip toes to be eye level "I Love you"

Then, before I allowed my conscious to take it back I kissed him, in an attempt to show sincerity in my statement. He broke the kiss "Julie, do you really?" He asked, with a sadness in his voice. It was almost as if he expected me to say 'no'. "Yes," I forced from my lips "of course I do."
"I have dreamt of you saying that for years, Julie" he spoke softly as he embraced me. I kissed him again, attempting to get one step closer to my goal. I felt his arms wrap around my waist tighter. I broke the kiss and moved to his ear. "I want you" I whispered breathily. Beyond promptly pushed me away.

"What the hell was that about?" I squealed. "I'm sorry" he said. "I don't think this is the best time for that." I looked up at him confused and angry. "Why?" I barked at him, picking my self up off of the ground. "I just don't think this is the appropriate time, we have to be where we're going by 5:30 and it's already 3:20" he said looking at the clock on the far wall behind me. "It's going to take about an hour to get there, so go get dressed" he commanded as he speed walked away.

What the hell was that about?
