When When darkness overcomes you, you run. When light threatens the dark, your calm. When people stare at you intently, you feel uncomfortable, like something's wrong with you. When, When, When is something perfect going to happen?

Chapter 2 Part 2 Of Weakness Shane ushered me out of the bedroom where the dead man lay. I shivered and Shane wrapped his arms around me. I looked up at him. "Shane, I can't do this anymore if you won't tell me why". I told him as confidently as I could. He didn't answer for a bit then said, "Angie, you don't understand do you?". I was about to respond but he pulled a piece of cloth over my nose and mouth. I kicked and flailed. Why would he do this? I thought he loved me? Once again, why was he even doing these freaking things! Soon I was to tired and the drug affected me. I drifted away in Shane's arms. Just as I woke up last night's events came flooding back. I looked around at my surroundings. Shane's house. I was in his bedroom. I had only been here once before. I tried to get up but then I felt something at my ankle. I looked down. There was a rope binding me to the bed. I reached down to untie it but Shane walked into the room. "Trying to escape I see...". He mumbled. I nudged closer to the wall as he stepped towards me. "Now your my prisoner". He whispered in my ear once he was close. I whimpered. He leaned closer and kissed me. Wait what? Kissed me? And here I'm thinking he is kidnapping me and maybe going to kill me! He pulled away. "Shane, I'm getting mixed messages here!". I intruded. He smiled but said nothing. Damn you! Instead he leaned in and kissed me again. Dumbstruck. All I could do was kiss back. He leaned me back against the wall. Smashing his lips against mine. Then he released and walked out of the room. Ok weird. I'm very confused. Is he kidnapping me or kidnapping me? Am I just here for his pleasure?

Chapter 2 Of Weakness We crept farther down the hallway and I squeezed Shane's hand. He looked down at me and whispered "this is your chance Angie, do it". I shivered, then leaned over the sleeping body and plunged the knife into its stomach. Tears rose in my eyes as I watched the blood seep out of the wound. Shane took the knife from my hand and stepped into the bathroom to wash it off. "I'm sorry". I whispered to the body when Shane was out of earshot. "I didn't want this, I'm sorry".

I sunk to the floor as the bloody knife fell out of my hands. "This has gone to far". I whispered to Shane as he lifted me up from the floor. He smirked, "but nobody knows, love". He whispered back as he wrapped his arms around me, God I loved when he called me love. "But it's bad, we've killed too many people". I said, feeling innocent and small, not strong and powerful like Shane promised. He chuckled, but he said nothing. We stood there for a few seconds, staring at the dead body in front of me. "Come, Angie, we better get back before anybody notices". Shane said as we walked of the house. I shivered in the cold winter night. How could I go on like this? I tiptoed up the stairs to my room, careful not to wake my sleeping mother. I shut the door and then turned around, facing my room. I jumped as Shane crept from the shadows, "you scared me!". I said, hitting him on the arm. He looked at me hungrily, like I was a big meaty burger from In and Out. "Shane? Why are you here?". I questioned him, realizing how strange it was for him to come back. Shane stepped closer, I could feel his breath on my neck. "I'm here for you". He pushed my hair from my face. "Shane? Wha-". I started then he cut me off as he leaned in to kiss me. I kissed back, his lips pressed against mine. They fit perfectly. Then he let go and walked out of my room and out the front door. I sighed. He teased me like that a lot, I was used to it. That didn't mean I liked it. I woke up to my mom yelling at me "Angie! You better be awake!". She yelled. "Coming!". I yelled back. I quickly dressed, dashing around my room. When I finally rushed downstairs, my mom sat at the table. Eating an apple. "Here!". She tossed me an apple. I caught it and bit in. "Well, bye mom". I said. Running out the door. I jumped in my car, turning on the ignition and driving off to school. I met Shane at the front and he gave me a peck on the cheek. Damn! That's all I get? Really? "Shane.". I said to him as we walked inside. "Yes love?". He asked me. "That's it?". I said to him. He looked at me and I'm pretty sure he understood because he leaned in for a REAL kiss. Our lips met and I stood on my tippie toes to reach him. His fingers caressed my hair. "Hello Mr. Daniel, Ms. Pelli, having fun?". I heard Mr. Kelly say. "Oh yeah! Sorry". I pulled away from Shane. He smirked and we both just stood there. Awkwardly. I parted from Shane and walked off to my first period. School was soooo lame today. We had to watch a science video about photosynthesis in science, random stuff in math....yeah I really didn't like school very much. I was so excited to graduate in 5 months. As I settled into my chair in my room I grabbed my phone and texted Shane. "Come over please?". Sent. "Yep On my way!". Reply. I smiled. I heard a knock on my door and Shane walked in. "Your mom let me in, what's up?". He said. I giggled. "I wanted to see you". I chimed. "Yeah, great reason for me to stop playing my video game-". I cut him off. This time I leaned in for a kiss. We kissed passionately for a bit and he leaned me back against the wall, his hands moved down my body. Making me jittery and tingly all over. The he pulled away and his smile turned to a doubtful frown. "We have another job, there is money involved". He whispered. "Please, why do we have to kill people! You said we didn't have to kill many!". I said. I always wondered why we had to do this. All he would tell me was that we needed to and we where the only ones who could do it. Persuasion also encountered kissing..... But I still never knew why....

Boys Y'all, They Confuse Us So if you are an adult....then you've had much more experience with guys then I have, but. I'm still able to get inside their heads. Asking a guy out: Don't be creepy! So you know in movies when the girls are like, in awe or something when a guy talks to them....they just stand there and stare. I don't think anybody actually does that? Ok? Be normal, ok so it's ok to be weird but basically what I'm saying is be yourself. Never ever change for a guy or for anyone! Just be nice ask them out, ok? They might seem like gods, but they are just human beings, girls. So just calm down. The better approach is starting a conversation. You don't walk up to a guy and say "hi wanna go out?". Also, don't put pressure on them to go out with you if they don't know you very well. Maybe say..."Hey, do you wanna go to that party on Saturday?". 50% of the time guys say "YES". The other 50%...well...sorry girls. Rejection: Rejection, the enemy of dating. If a guy rejects you? Don't feel miserable! He is missing out! Sure, it's ok to shed a few tears, but don't go all "I'm going to lock myself in my room till I die". As I said before, they ant gods. There is someone out there for you! That's some advice for tonight, they key to this. Be yourself. Love ya, Ruby
