Tied Up.

-1- Black cars

I watch as she leaves her lecture and gets into his car once again. Why can't she just get her license already and stop relying on that nuisance of a boy to drive her around. I'm going to have to do something about it soon, I cant stand watching her with another man.
As the car leaves I signal to my men to follow her and make sure he doesn't lay a single finger on her, this girl is driving me crazy and she doesn't even know it. She flaunts her self around campus with that boy wearing the tiniest pieces of clothing, when she's mine that definitely wont happen, and ill have you soon.

Rose is an angel sent from above and I'm nothing but hell, even if I feel so drawn to her. When I first saw her, with her small drama and outstanding body in a silk blue dress that stopped mid-thigh, her honey brown curls flowing just past her shoulders and her brown eyes so captivating... she was applying for a job, at my bar. I made sure she got the job of course because the second I saw her in that club I knew she was mine, the second she walked through that door she became property of Ace Romano.

But she has the boy, Cameron, she's always hanging out with and I do not like him one bit. It's difficult to find information on this boy besides that his parents died in a brutal pile up a few years ago and where he works, a small local bar, my bar, with my Rose. My smile widens at the thought of firing him. I will do what ever it takes for her to be mine and the whole world to know it too.

I notice the same black cars with the same weird men in them following me and my best friend Cameron as we are on our way back to our apartment from collage. He doesn't ever seem to notice but I do, the same thing happens every time I drive with Cameron. Black cars. Never when I take the bus or walk back, only when I'm with Cameron??

Maybe he's part of some undercover gang and they see me as a threat. Me?? A threat?? Ha they've got to be joking. I'm nothing but a 5"3 petite little girl what's so threatening about that?

***

I just got fired from my job but that's not what I'm focused on.

They're back.

The black cars.

They only come when I'm with Rose.
They make me feel threatened Rose is my best friend and I'd hate myself forever if anything ever happened to her, I've known her since we were 6. We used to play pretend in the woods behind my house. That is before "it" happened.

"I am the forest guardian do you dare cross me sir Cameron?!"
"I do dare!!" I charge at Rose with with my imaginary sword which so happens to be a stick.
"Not so fast!" She pulls out another stick and whispers ("this is my magical bow, it never misses") she draws another stick from the tree behind her and holds them as if she is about to shoot me with a bow and arrow.
"Any last words?" She asks her bow aimed right at my chest.
"Yes actually." She furrows her brows
"Go on then peasant!"
"Ok, well what I was going to say was...CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" I scream as I run off further into the forest with Rose not far behind.
"PEW! I shot you with my bow" she says making the noises pretending it was real. I fake fall to the ground yelling in agony as I begin to enact my slow, dramatic, painful death before she notices something right next to my death bed.
TW: Suicide
"Hey what's that?" She asks pointing as I move my gaze to the red patches in the leaves
"MY BLOOD!! Ahhh ahhhh" I say still pretending to be dying.
"No look, it goes over here" she starts following the trail. By this time I am lying on the ground, dead. Until I hear her scream in fear and I run to her rescue with my stick sword. Then I saw him, hanging from the branch by just a Piece of rope.

Since then I've sworn to myself to always protect Rose from anything bad and I live by that.
