in confusion and covered my already nude body. I looked at the clock and it was already ten o'clock—but, that was impossible—a girl like me, would remember every moment.
    “What happened?” I snapped, but no one was there. “Christian?” I called for him again as I put my clothes on in the dark room. “Christian? Where are you? I’m so confused.”
    For once, I did not want God watching me.
     

Chapter 5
    Kill, Kill
     
    The only sound in the store were my heels tapping against the tile floor. I felt like an outcast, yet everyone was congratulating me about Mama's reality show. I was back to my old ways, in a tight sun dress and high heels, with my hair big and full of curls.
    “I'm sorry if last night was awkward,” Christian said, as he appeared from nowhere.
    I jumped in fear but this time my claws were not out, “You scared me again!”
    “Why are you shaking so much?” he asked as he followed me throughout the gift shop. “Do you think I took advantage of you or something? I thought you were okay.”
    I pulled Christian to the corner of the store and searched to see if anyone was around, “Honey, I don't even remember anything,” I whispered. “I just...this is going to sound crazy, but I blanked out.”
    “For two hours? Was I that bad? We even had a conversation for thirty minutes.”
    “I'm so confused. I’m also a little scared...” I shoved Christian aside as I saw Tyler walking inside. “Are you following me, Tyler?” I said as he approached me, showing off his new suit.
    “Me?” Tyler said confused. “Why would I follow you? You're pretty but not that pretty, doll.” Tyler stared at Christian as if he would attack him. So, to make Christian jealous, Tyler wrapped his arm around me and walked me out the store. “Baby, I miss you so much. Please go out with me tonight. That man is nothing but tattoos and trash. I'll admit he could model but he's nothing but Barbie's douche boyfriend.”
    I laughed, thinking how Christian called him Ken. “Tyler, I’m sick of the games. One minute you love me the next you cannot stand me.”
    “Ha, Leanna I never loved you. So, let's take love out of this. I like you and I think you're smart, but I can never love such...trash,” he winked. “You understand, right?”
    Out of anger, I clawed Tyler on his cheek. “Fuck you!”
    He screamed and rubbed his bleeding scratches. “What the hell is your problem? You have no right to do that,” he paused and began to whisper, “I think you're going to regret doing that to me!”
    He walked away in anger, and he brought back all my memories. Tyler and I had an unusual relationship. He always cared for me as if I were his first child, he told me he loved me multiple times, and he even told me he would marry me. Believe it or not, we did not fight much but when we did, it was hell.
    Christian came walking to me outside the gift shop. He stayed silent as we watched Tyler drive off in his new pickup truck.
    I leaned my head on his chest, “Can we talk later? I’m so upset right now, Christian.”
    He nodded and pointed to his car, “I fixed it. I can give you a ride home.”
    I frowned and walked in the opposite direction. “No, I need some alone time.”
    I could feel my sadness drowning Christian as I walked away. I knew he was probably worried about me walking home as the sun went down. But, I just could not be bothered with such drama. Times like those, I had to be alone to gather all my thoughts. I had to think about all the wasted times with a boy like Tyler.
    But, I loved him.

    Mama said she would call me when she had time, so I waited for my phone to ring. I did not think I would need her as if I were a child again. I was proud of her, accomplishing her dream, but I wanted to be selfish and have her in Riverbed with me.
    The sound of glass crashing to the floor made me jump out of bed. I was sitting in my dark room, so I searched for my tiny flash light that Derek had given me for my
