HEY GUYS! Thanks for the reviews. I really love hearing your feed-back. Here is chapter 5!

Disclaimer: I don't own TT, jus' the plot man.

Raven's POV:

I hear the front door click and I gasp.

Gar's eyebrows scrunch together in confusion. I quickly get up, and yank him up by his upper arm. I grab his hand in mine and pull him quickly with me to the back door.

"You have to go!", I say breathlessly

"Eh?", he asks. I open the door and nudge him onto the step on the stairs outside, so I am now at eye-level with him.

"I'll call you.", I whisper against his lips. I kiss him softly and pull back before he can respond to my kiss.

"Go!", I say hastily. He nods once and turns around running towards the woods. I close the door and lean my back against the door, slowly sliding down. My hand unconsciously moves to my lips as I sigh, smiling to myself. I freeze. How am I supposed to call him!? I don't even have his fudgen number! I repeatedly smack my forehead with my palm. Stupid Raven. Stupid. Stupid.

"Raven? Honey?", a female voice tiredly asks from the kitchen.

"Yeah mom, coming.", I call back. I get up and walk into the kitchen seeing mom rummaging through the fridge. I quickly walk to her.

"Mom! Don't worry, I'll make you a salad", I say. My mom has always been a vegetarian, but I stick with meat. Sorry, but meat if life. Since my dad stopped sending monthly money she has been working her butt off. She works as a waitress at a restaurant in the mornings and as a nurse in the afternoons and evenings. She is barely home and the time I spend with her is precious. I take out the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, and some ranch from the fridge. I quickly take out a bowl and spend no time to make the salad. I walk to the dining table where my mom is sitting down.
"Here Mum", I get a fork and set the salad on the table sitting across from her.

"Thanks baby girl.", She sighs dark circles under her eyes. I notice a few white hairs that have started to appear on her scalp. Little wrinkles have appeared around her eyes. I scowl.

"Mom?", I hear the crunch of the lettuce as she eats.

"Hm?"

"Ace and I are gonna start working this year. We were thinking of go-", I get cut off.

"No Honey, focus on your studies. I want you to have a good future.", she says quietly but firmly. She has always been strong. Her black hair is in a messy pixie cut and her blue eyes always cast a set of determination.

"I know Mum, but you can't keep working yourself till you collapse… okay-no- what if we promise only to work a maximum of 12 hours a week? You work about 50 hours a week right? Please? We would only work two hours, 6 days a week! That's great! We would have a day off to catch up on anything school related. After all I'm about to turn 16… sooo. I don't see the problem.", I had already planned this and Ace already agreed to help and work with me. I knew she couldn't say no.

"Fine.", she says defeated.

"But only 12 hours exact and I want Mason with you at all times. Understood?"

I nod rapidly and that's when I hear a screech coming from the living room. Shit! The movie… mom looks at me with confusion etched in her eyes.

"Errr… I was watching a movie with Ace. But he left because Sophia was feeling ill.", I say surprised that my voice came out calmer than I thought it would.

"Oh ok, tell him I hope she feels better", mom says close to nodding off to sleep.

"Yeah, I'm about to call him to make sure she is okay.", I walk to my mom and give her a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I'm going to take a nap", she says as she stands up and walks to her bedroom. Even though it was only 11:00am, I knew she wasn't going to wake up till late evening. I sighed and went upstairs remembering that school started only in a day… since today was Saturday. I walked to my bed and splattered on it, lying on my tummy. Quickly grabbing my phone I scrolled through my contacts and called Ace. He answered on the second ring.

"Hey mah bishhh", he screeched into the phone. I drew the phone away from my ear as I felt a small smile stretch on my face.

"Hi. Is Soph okay?", I asked.

"What's wrong with Sophia?", he asked worried and alarmed.

"Umm, I don't know… you tell me?"

"Ohhhh.", realization seemed to hit him. "Yeah, she's better now. Don't worry about it-", I heard someone calling his name. Sounded like Sophia. "-hold up. I gotta go. Talk to you later. Love you babe.", he said while making kissy noises over the phone.

"Yeah bye, love you too.", and he hung up. I turned on my back and heard the bed moan at my movement. Staring at the ceiling, I closed my eyes and felt my body getting heavy as I disappeared into slumber.

I walk to my locker seeing a head of messy blonde hair leaning against it. I speed walk to Gar and as I am about to open my mouth to talk to him, a girl with long dirty blonde hair appears out of nowhere.

"Hey Garrr.", she purrs into his ear and I almost gag.

"Hey babe.", he replies with a smirk on his lips. I feel the pang in my heart as I see him grab her by the waist and pull her against him. I pull my hand to my heart as another breathtaking throb hits my ribcage. The knot in my throat makes my breathing become ragged as tears blur my vision.

"Gar, I thought- I-", I stutter and he just glares at me for interrupting his precious time with the blonde bimbo.

"Who are you?", he snarls and looks at me with disgust in his eyes.

"W-Wha-", I can't finish my sentence before hot tears run down my cheeks.

I gasp as I struggle to keep my breathing steady. Holy crap. I can't make the same mistake again, I realize as I remember his grasp on the blonde girls waist. I sit up on the bed and try to hold back my tears and miraculously I do. Getting up from the bed I decide to take a shower. I'm not making the same mistake, I will stay away from Garfield Logan. I let the water run down my body as I make the choice that will save me from any more pain to come.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Goodbye Gar.
