Jasmine's POV
                          
t/w violence. I'll put a *** where it starts and ends.
                          
I was walking to the theater on a cloudy Monday morning. Suddenly, I had the feeling that there was someone watching me. I turned around, only to see someone in a coat, pulled up so I couldn't see his face. Ignoring this, I continued down the streets of New York.
                          
After a few minutes I turned around and saw the same guy. This time closer, about twenty feet behind me. Crap this is not good. I quickly ducked into a little cafe.
                          
The shop was completely empty except for the lady at the counter. She smiled as I ordered and sat down to wait for my coffee. 
                          
The man that was following me walked in. This is bad. This is bad. THIS IS BAD!!! The lady from the counter was nowhere to be found. The man walked up to me. I wanted to move but was frozen to my seat. He pulled down his coat so I could see his face.
                          
Noah
                          
"Hey." He smiled but it was cold and uncaring. I tried to talk but no words came out. 
                          
"Break up with Freckles and no one gets hurt." he continued.
                          
"I'm not dating Anthony." I managed to squeak. His expression quickly turned from a smirk to a scowl. 
                          
"I know you're lying. Break up with him." *** He reached into his coat and pulled out a gun, pointing it at me.
                          
"I'm not lying." I said. I attempted to hide my fear. His hand squeezed the trigger. The loud noise of the gun firing was the last thing I heard. ***
                          
Anthony's POV
                          
Waking up next to your crush is good. Unless she's screaming and thrashing around in her sleep.
                          
"Jas. JAS!!!" She woke up suddenly in a cold sweat. 
                          
"Ant!" She pulled me into a giant hug before bursting into tears. We sat like that for a while. To my disappointment, we broke apart after several minutes.
                          
"You wanna talk about it?" I cautiously asked. She looked away from me. And there you go. Messing everything up.
                          
"Sure." she said. Ok so she doesn't hate you. That's good. She explained her nightmare. This guy. How could he do this to Jas. She's so beautiful, smart, funny-
                          
"Ant?" I looked up. I realized that I hadn't said anything. 
                          
"That's so horrible!" I said as I hugged her. We pulled apart and I checked the time. 3:00. Jas seemed to have cheered up enough. 
                          
"So it's 3. Want to go back to sleep?" I asked her. She shook her head.
                          
"No you can. I'm gonna go watch a movie." she said. I smiled at her. 
                          
"I'm coming with you." I scrambled out of the bed and ran around to her side. Linking arms with her, I marched dramatically out of my room and to the couch. Jasmine stumbled behind me, laughing the whole way.
                          
The two of us plopped on the couch. Soon we were watching The Little Mermaid. Lin's favorite. The movie was over in what seemed like a minute. I was shocked to see that Jas was asleep on my chest. Careful not to wake her up, I checked the time. 4:30. Maybe I'll start another movie. Too lazy to do anything, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I was awoken to a fluffy thing hitting my face.
                          
"JAS!" I yelled, my eyes still closed. Jasmine giggled.
                          
"Get up sleepy head." she said. I groaned.
                          
"No!" I turned around so my head was facing the pillow.
