Piers went inside his room and sit on his bed to think about what happen on his first day. His parents weren't home. They were working. Piers felt so lonely. He's never been or felt this lonely like this before. He was also a bit heartbroken too.

He decided to turn his Xbox on and play some video games. Video games always cheer him up whenever he was down. In a middle of a game, he heard the front door ringing. "Dammit. It's nine o' clock. Who would ring my door bell at this time knowing it's a school night?"

Piers open his front door and when he opens it, Helena enters inside. "Can we talk?" Piers was surprise how forward she was. He then thought that maybe she came here to break up with him. He was ready to break up with her anyway because he was already heart broken.

"Sure." She follows him upstairs to his bedroom. "Wow…this is how your bedroom looks? Not how I imagine it." He closes the door behind him. "Really? How did you imagine my room?" "Won't say." "Why not?" "Because it's not really important right now." "Right so what did you want to talk to me about?"

"About this morning and how I acted at the diner. I was totally all over Leon and that wasn't cool." She took a seat on the edge of his bed. "I forgot that I have a boyfriend name Piers and I love him a lot." Piers smile a little. Hearing that made him feel a little bit better. "Wow Helena….thanks. I thought you didn't notice."

"Of course I did. Now come here so I can tell you a little secret." She pats his bed and he laughs. "Helena, I know what you're trying to do!" "What am I trying to do? All I want is to tell you a secret. Is that bad?" Piers smirk and stand over Helena. She looks up at him. "Not at all." He presses her lips with his and they both began to kiss.

Helena put both of her hands on his cheeks and he leans towards her which causes her to move back further onto the middle of the bed.

They've both kick their shoes off and Piers took his shirt off. Helena did also. His phone starts to go off but he ignores it this time. He kept on kissing Helena's lips softly. Annoyed by his phone that kept on distracting them, Helena stops kissing him and says, "Hey, I think you should get that."

"I don't think it's important." He told her. Piers then begin to kiss her neck and it made Helena laugh. "Stop. That's my tickle spot." "Perfect…" He whispered. Helena laughs more and for the next few minutes she stops laughing due to being use to him kissing and biting on her neck after a while.

Helena didn't notice that Piers was biting on her neck for some reason. But when he accidently bites her hard she quickly sits up from his bed. "Did I bite you too hard?" "You were biting me?!" She jumps up from his bed and went to his bathroom to look at her neck where he was kissing her at. She notices a pink mark on her neck. "Oh no…oh no. This isn't good…" She said to herself. "Piers! You gave me a hickey!" Helena shouted walking out of his bathroom.

Piers chuckles. "Don't say hickey. I prefer to say it a love bite." Helena was mad at him but she couldn't help herself from smiling and laughing at his comment. "Shut up I'm mad at you." Piers got up from his bed and put his arm around Helena's waist. Whenever he would do that, Helena felt butterflies in her stomach.

"I know you are but you still love me right?" "Of course I do. I love you so much that I'm not even mad at you anymore." "Good. Let's have a second round of this…" She giggles and he starts to kiss her again. This time Helena's phone goes off. "Sorry, let me get that okay?" She went over to where her phone was it was a call from her dad. "Shit!" "What happen?" "It's my father!" "Dammit. So I guess we have to finish this some other time huh?"

"Yeah…I guess. I'm sorry Piers." "Don't be…besides. Next time, bring safety." "I bring it?" She laughs. "You buy it!" "No you buy one because you've started it!" "But you gave me a hickey!" "How many times am I going to tell you that it's a love bite? Sheesh!" "Alright fine. I'll buy one okay." "Helena. I'm not going to let you buy one. I'll just go to my parent's cabinet and get one."

"Aw, look at you growing up." She joked. "Alright, put your clothes back on so we can head out. I'm driving you home." "Thanks Piers."

Piers and Helena got dress and they went downstairs. When Piers opens the front door, both of his parents appear in front of him. "Mom? Dad? What are you two doing here? I thought the two of you were going to come home later?" "Oh no. I found your mother talking to my best friend!" "We were just talking!" "Well uh mom dad? I'm going to take my friend Helena home." "Go ahead son."

Piers parents step aside and let Helena and Piers go. "Do your parents always argue?" Helena asks. "Not really. But ever since my mom got a new job my dad and her has been arguing." "Really? Why?" "Wish I knew." He told her getting inside of his car. "Come on and get inside." Helena smiles at him and gets inside of the car.


Claire was walking home with Leon. It was nine forty five and they've both have taken the long way home. It wasn't Claire's idea though. The two ditch Sherry, Jill and Chris at the diner by telling them that they were going to go head to the library to work on their homework together. Of course that was a lie.

"Do you think he's going to forgive me Leon?" Claire asks him looking up at the sky. "He should I mean look at you." She stops walking and looks at Leon raising an eyebrow. "What's wrong with me?" Leon doesn't say anything. He just chuckles and tells her, "You're beautiful and sweet." "I'm not sweet." She told Leon frowning. "Yes you are." "Not what I did to him a few months ago!" Claire snaps.

"What are you talking about?" "N-nothing. I-I think I need to get some rest maybe?" Claire suggested while rubbing her head. "I think so too. Come on." Leon starts to walk and Claire walks besides him. For the rest of the walk home, Claire thought about Piers and then about the argument they've both had earlier. She hated to argue with him because it would stay stuck in her head all day and she would say to herself that she wish she hasn't say anything.

Piers and Helena didn't say anything inside the car to Helena's house. The car stops in front of Helena's car and Piers told her, "We're here." He looks straight ahead and Helena smiles and then plants a kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight and thanks for the drive home." "Anything for you." He told her looking at her. "Night." She went out the car and he watches her went inside her house.

Alright, time to go home. Piers start his car and drives back home. While he was driving, he thought about hitting Chris up to chat about random things. He stops at a red light and while he was waiting for the light to turn green he sees Claire with Leon. Jealous starts to grow inside of him.

He saw how Claire and Leon were laughing. He also saw how Claire put both of her arms around Leon's stomach smiling. Tch, why am I even jealous for? I don't care who the hell Claire's interested in! Piers notice the light has change to green. He drives.

"Shut up Leon! It was Chris's twelve birthday party and I'm surprise you even remember that." "Of course I would remember something like that. It's something to never remember. Not to mention, your mom was shouting, Claire just receive her ministration!" He then chuckles and Claire hits him. "That was even more embarrassing. God, still this day I wish I can make it up for Chris. I mean, let's just say my ministration at that time crash his birthday party." She laughs. "It surely did crash his birthday party. Poor Chris had to shut it down."

"I told him not to but he wouldn't listen! He was always such a pretty stubborn person." "You were also too." Claire looks up at Leon. "I am not stubborn!" "Yes you are." "No I am not okay? I'm just Claire." "Yeah and Claire is pretty stubborn." "Hey watch it Kennedy. Being stubborn runs in the family. What runs in your family?"

"Let's just say," Leon flips his hair and Claire burst into laughter. "Your hair?" She said still laughing. "Of course. Also, the looks. On a rate from zero to ten how good do I look?" "Zero." "Ow." Leon said touching his chest pretending that her word hurted him. "I was going to give you a hundred but you can forget about it!" "So what do I get?" She asks smirking. "Negative one."

Claire gasps. "You did not just go negative!" "Yes I did." He said teasingly. "God Kennedy I hate you." "I love you too Claire." He pulls her in for a hug but she tries to push him away. "Don't fight it!" "Don't tell me what to do!"

"Wow…looks like you two are having fun." A voice said coming from in front of them. Leon and Claire put their hands off from each other and look where the voice was coming from. "Ada?" Leon said shock. He couldn't believe he was seeing Ada. He hasn't seen her since he left to New York.

"Ada…I can't believe you're even…" "Save it for later." Ada told him winking at him. She passes by him and slips a note inside his pants pocket. "See you around." When Ada was out of sight, Claire went up to Leon and said, "Wow…who would have known Ada would be out here this time of night?"

"Yeah…that's insane. Come on. Let's take you home." "Why so you can spend time with Ada?" Claire said poking his chest. "No…" Leon said smiling a little. Claire knew Leon was lying to her. He would always do it whenever the topic was about Ada and it did make her feel a bit jealous. She wasn't jealous because she wanted Leon for herself. She was jealous because Ada and him have been through a lot together.

Leon and she have been through a lot too together. Like when Ada broke his heart when he was thirteen and when he caught her cheating on him when it was his sixteenth birthday. Claire was right by Leon's side making him feel better and smile, laugh, and also give him advice.

"Leon…you don't have to lie to me. If you still have feelings for Ada then…go ahead. I'm allowing you too. I don't control your love life." "Thanks Claire but I don't have feelings for Ada." "Are you sure? Because when you first seen her you kind of was drooling." She joked.

Leon laughs and says, "Good one. I'd use that for later on. If you know what I mean." He winks at her and Claire smiles. "Oh shit, let's go." She grabs Leon's hand and they've both made their way over to her house which took three minutes. When they got there, Claire turns to Leon and says, "Thanks for walking me home. Actually, thanks for everything. This officially has been the best day ever because of you."

"Oh no problem. Always glad to make your day. You make mines too. Well, I should get going before my mom flips out. If I'm not mistaking, she probably is already." Claire giggles. "Goodnight Leon." "Night." She went inside of her house and Leon turn to go walk home.

"How was the date?" Chris asks Claire when she has entered inside the house. "It wasn't a date okay?" "Then what was it?" "Hanging out?" "Did you guys smooch?" "What? No! Chris why don't you go to bed?" Claire suggested going inside of the kitchen to get something to drink.

"I would but I'm waiting for a phone call." "Why and for?" "Jill." "Ah, she's making you call her at ten thirty huh?" "Yeah…pretty much." "Why?" "Because I'm on punishment." Claire sits beside her brother on the couch. "Why are you being punished for?" "Between you and me…let's just say that I accidently swore in front of her parents." "You curse in front of her parents? Wow dumbass."

Chris laughs. "I don't see how Jill deals with her parents? They're pretty bossy if you ask me." "Oh my God. What did they make you do?" "They've made me take off my shoes when I got inside of their house! And made me sing them a song for dinner!"

Claire was laughing hard. "Wait what? What song did they make you sung?" "National Anthem." "But aren't you a horrible singer?" "Yes. That's not all though. While I was singing, the glass in their hand broke." She laughs. "Then her parents got mad at me and told me to pay for the damage by cleaning their whole entire house for three months! So that's where I flipped the fuck out."

Claire shakes her head at her brother. "What am I going to do with you Chris?" "Nothing. Hey, why don't you go upstairs and sleep? You look like shit." "Thanks asshole. Night." She hugs her brother before she heads upstairs to her bedroom. When she got up there, she change into her pj's and her phone buzzes.

She unlocks her phone and a text appears on her screen:

Private: You think you can get away from me you little piece of shit? You think everything is going to be fine? Well guess what?! You thought wrong bitch! When I'm out of this crap, I'm going to go to your house kidnap you, torture you, and then kill you.

Claire froze in shock. She was about to rush out of her room to go downstairs to tell her brother Chris about it but then she receives another text message:

Private: Don't you dare think about telling your brother Chris about this? I am watching you...so you better watch out. Hint, I can be under your bed.

Claire gasps and then walks slowly towards her bed. She was afraid that someone can pop out of nowhere but then she realizes that Chris could hear her. So she went on both of her knees and look underneath her bed. No one was there. She gets up from the floor and glances around her room.

She stops when her phone goes off, "Hello?" She said into the phone. No one answered. A text message appears on her screen again:

Private: Just kidding! I know you're scared. Listen, no one will get hurt unless you tell someone about these messages I'm sending you. You tell someone, someone dies. Even if what you tell them is not specific. I dare you to say something. I want your body on mine.

Ew. Claire thought to herself. She quickly texted the stranger back:

Claire: Leave me the fuck alone Steve okay?! I know it's you!

Private: Steve? Who the fuck is Steve? This isn't Steve sweetheart.

Claire: Then who is this and what do you want from me?

Private: You will know soon but not tonight. What I want from you? I want you. Me + You = Forever n ever! We will be a very powerful couple. Also, baby please don't date that gay guy Leon.

Claire: But Leon isn't gay?

Private: Bitch! Didn't you hear me? You're making me fucking mad and I hate being mad! I feel like getting out of this van and busting inside your house and shoot your brother!

Claire: No! Please don't do that! That's the last thing that I need!

Private: Good. Glad we're on the same page here. Now, stay away from Leon. If I catch you hanging or talking to him someone is going to die. Got it?

Claire: Why are you doing this to me? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?

Private: I'm not doing this to hurt you Claire baby. I'm doing this for US. Like I said earlier, say something, someone dies. It can be anyone like…

Claire: …

Private: Piers? You don't want him to die right?

Claire: Oh God no!

Private: But didn't he hurt your feelings earlier?

Claire: Yes but it was my fault! Just don't do anything to him please! Don't even drag him in to this situation! He doesn't deserve to go through this. Just please don't…

Private: You care about him a lot.

Claire: Yes. Yes I do.

Private: Do you still like him?

Claire: No. He's dating someone.

Private: So? That doesn't mean anything. DO YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT?

Claire: No! I don't! I care about him but I don't like him! At all!

Private: You fucking bitch! You're lying to me! I know you think of him every second of the day. You probably dream about fucking him too.

Claire: You're fucking sick.

Private: Another thing, don't curse talking to me because that's how I hurt people that you love. Let me ask you again.

Claire: …

Private: Do you like Piers?

Claire: No I do not.

Private: Fuck you bitch then! I'm done talking to your ass! You're fucking ugly! I'm killing someone! BYE

Claire's heart started to pump fast and hard.

Claire: What? No!

The stranger didn't respond and Claire rush towards her window to see if she sees him/her. She saw a black van starting to move. "Fucking bastard." She muttered under her breath. She rushes downstairs and Chris was on the phone with Jill. "Yes Jill bean."

Oh no…the stranger might hurt Jill. "Chris! We need to talk!" "Hold up babe, my sister is calling me." He lowers his phone down and looks at Claire. "What?" "Listen to me, I can't tell you what's going on but someone is going to get hurt. Right now." "Claire go get sleep okay?" "Chris! Listen to me! Someone is going to die!" "Jill, I will have to call you later. My sister is having some sort of episode. Love you too." He hangs up and turns to Claire. "What the fuck?"

"Chris! Someone is after me!" "Alright. Calm the fuck down. What's going on?" "I can't tell you because I'm afraid he or she is watching me right now…Chris I'm scared." "I can help you if you tell me. Tell me Claire what is going on."

She sighs and was about to tell her brother everything until her phone buzzes. She reads the text message:

Private: I was just playing around. Wanted to scare you. I love you Claire. You're fucking perfect.

"Chris…never mind." She rushes upstairs and Chris was suspicious. He just calls back Jill. "Hey Jill? Yeah…everything is fine."

Claire: Stop saying that. You're freaking me out and scaring the shit out of me.

Private: Oh sorry baby. Do you want me to come up to your bedroom and maybe we can sort things out?

Claire: No thank you. I'm just exhausted. Can you leave me alone?

Private: Sorry. Can't do. I'm in love with you Claire. I want to be with you forever.

Claire: Can I please at least talk to my friend Leon please? He's my best friend.

Private: Fine whore. You only have a week to talk to him. You hear me?

Claire: Yes.

Private: Good, now get some sleep. Or else I'm going to sleep with you.

Claire: Alright.

She puts her phone on her night stand and she fined herself shaking. Claire went on her bed and started to cry herself to sleep. While she was trying to fall asleep her phone buzzes. Of course she reads it and it says,

Private: Stop crying.

Claire did what she was told.
