13 CHAPTER 13

Days and days go past, Chase and I just end up getting closer. I tell him everything he tells me everything too. I helped him deal with the pain and he helped me as well. I met his mother and sister, they were really wonderful people. He met my family too. We were heading to my house right now to do homework.

"Okay okay how about we do it in the library?",I ask him.

"Yes wherever you would like."

"It's my favourite place in this whole house.", I say and spin.

" I know I know you told me over hundred times Lara.",Chase says and laughs at me.

"Did not.", I say and pout.

"Did too. "

We do all our homework and end up going to visit my dad.

You know Chase my dad was my superhero and I loved him a lot. I remember a time when I was 5 and we had a bird but he looked sad,alone,and he needed to go to his family so I opened the cage and let him go and my mom yelled at me alot saying its supposed to stay in there but I couldn't help but wonder why. I mean he was a bird and birds are meant to fly as high as the clouds so I went to ask my dad. Dad told me I did a good thing by setting him free and then my mom was proud of me too.

"Hmm so you were always so cute.", Chase says.

I smile," Yeah maybe."

" I feel like everytime I get close to someone,they leave."

"That's not true."

"Yeah,yeah it is."

"My dad,Aiden,Jacob everyone!",I begin to cry.

"I'm not going anywhere,I promise", and pull me into a hug.

"You know Lara I'm sure your dad is proud of you even now."

" Why would you say that?"...

"There's nothing great I have done."

" Oh but there is."

"What is it?",I ask him.

"No matter how many times you have been hurt, how much pain you have felt or all the damage that has been done to you,you managed to keep away from the darkness. You kept away from the darkness you are not just anyone beauty you are a survivor. The girl who fought with all the darkness inside her head."

I swear I felt something feel alive inside of me. Was that something that one called hope?

"Now come on lets go get something to eat.",Chase says. I mess up his hair and laugh at him. He smiles at me. We then head to get some food.

Aiden P.O.V

I lost her, I lost the only girl that ever meant something to me. I didn't know I'd lose her by just trying to make her feel special. How could I be so stupid. Lara would never love me, she was just way too good for me in every way possible. Why am I crying for someone who could never be mine?...It was almost night time and I haven't seen Lara all day.

I knew she wouldn't want to speak to me so I sent Clowy to check up on her. I needed some booze to get my mind off of Lara. I was totally, completely and madly in love with someone who could never love me back. I drank alot and I was completely drunk.

"Aiden baby what's wrong?"

I see Kate walking towards me.

" Leave me the hell alone Kate." She grabbed my arm and when I turned around I saw Lara. She pulled me towards the trees and started kissing me and pulling my hair. Her mouth felt so cold, wrong and very unpleasant. That was when I realized I wasn't kissing Lara. I pulled myself away from whoever it was. Kate what the fuck? I look around and see Lara standing by the tree. She had this pain in her eyes and hurtful expression on her face. "Lara wait!",I yelled but before I knew it she was gone.

" Drake did you see Lara anywhere?" "No man I haven't seen her."

Sebastian and Ray come running to me.

"Aiden its Lara she tried to commit suicide!"

In that moment it was like a cold breeze just hit me and I got goosebumps. I ran as fast as I could but that was when i saw some guy on top of her. I tried not to make a scene in Lara's eyes. I couldn't stand to see her with another guy. Before I knew it all I felt was a pain in my nose and a liquid roll down my nose,the motherfucker punched me and I was too weak to fight back! I tried my best to get Lara to come to the room , but she didn't. I haven't slept or eaten for a few days and I looked like I had been dragged through hell and back. The next day I saw Lara with him oh well at least one of us were having fun.

We headed back home and all I did was watch the love of my life fall in love with another guy. Each day I watched them get closer and closer and it was the worst thing ever! It hurt like a bitch.

Chase P.O.V

All my life I wasn't sure if love at first sight existed but then Lara came along and changed everything.

Right now she has become an important part of my life I mean she gives me hope in life. Lara makes me want to live. I also stopped cutting my wrists because of her and she promised never to cut hers. That day when I spoke to Aiden about falling in love in 3 days, I spoke my heart out although Lara thinks it was all just pretence. I'm scared that I will no longer be good at hiding my feelings away from her.

Her smile would make any guy melt in fact she's the reason I'm alive my beauty is what keeps me alive. I once showed her some of my music and she loved it and even danced to it. She was the most beautiful broken person I have ever came across. Everything about her was really cute. The once I had been talking to Rachel and Lara about how I couldn't sleep at night but they burst out laughing because I called it anxiety but it was actually called insomnia. Rachel also said I was sweet.

There was one song I had made especially for Lara and she loved it.

The lyrics were like...

Because times are changing but we will be alright because I got you by my side...

Yeah yeah yeah alright I got you...

And trust me the beat was just amazing.

Even though I had been tortured by my dad most of the time, I wanted to live through it just to see Beauty the next day...
