*Paul*

We were all at the park again. Everyone was tensed, but Jasmine and Mark were weird. I didn't know what was going on. Then, Mark and Jasmine walked away from us.
"What's going on with them?" Ben asked me.
"I dunno." I replied sighing and waiting for Leslie to show up.

*Mark*

"Mark, I'm sorry for earlier. I really am." Jasmine told me.
"I am, too. We should forget what happened. We have worse issues to work on." I agreed.
"I know, but I know I can't forget." She replied looking down. I dunno why I was doing it, but I leaned again and kissed her. Like for a last kiss.
"I told you Julie that Mark and Jasmine were playing in your back when you were in danger." We heard from behind. We pulled away to see Leslie with a gun in her hand pointing toward us and Julie with tears falling down on her face.
"Julz… " I started.
"SHUT UP!" Leslie and Julie yelled at the same time. "You, too." Leslie then said for Julie who just looked away.
"Now, who wants to be killed first?" Leslie asked with a weird smile on her face.
"Kill me." Julie exclaimed.
"Julie, please…" I started again, but Leslie cut me.
"Come on, Mark. It's not like you care about Julie or else, you wouldn't have played in her back and Jasmine, do that to your own little sister, the one you pushed in the back to tell Mark how she felt about him and trying to get him back. Imagine what would Chris think if he learned what you did in his back as well." Leslie kept pushing oil on the fire. "But oh well, he'll never learn it cuz you're all going to be dead in a minute." She then added pointing her gun at Julie's head.
"Please, Leslie, don't kill her. I'm begging you." I begged her. She wasn't listening and Julie closed her eyes waiting for the gunshot. I couldn't believe we were all going to die and Julie would die thinking I didn't love her. Suddenly, something appeared jumping on Leslie and taking the gun out of her hand. I looked up to see Chris holding her to the ground as Julie fell into Paul's arms crying.

A Week Later…

*Julie*

"Julie, do you want some tea?" Jasmine asked me coming into my room. I didn't reply. I didn't want to see her, I didn't want to hear her. I didn't want anything to do with her anymore.
"Julie, please. Talk to me. I'm so sorry about what Mark and I did, but it was only the pression of the moment. Mark adores you more than anything." She added. Still I wasn't saying a thing. She left my room and I looked back outside. Leslie was now into a mental institute. I didn't know if I liked the idea. She could come back anytime.
"Sweetie." I heard my mom say.
"Yea?" I replied.
"These came for you." She answered giving me the flowers and leaving the room. I took the card in my hands and read: "Julie, I love you more than anything. Please forgive me. Love Mark". I looked at the flowers and threw them in the bin. I didn't want to see him either. The two people I love dearly both betrayed me.

*Jasmine*

It was killing me. My own sister didn't want to talk to me. I knew she would end up forgiving me. But when? I knew Mark tried so many times to call her, send her flowers, etc. But she didn't want to talk to him either. Chris learned after all. He forgave me, even though I don't know how he did it when my sister wouldn't even talk to me.
"Jas?" I heard from behind me. I turned to see Chris coming into my room. He sat down next to me and held me tight in his arms.
"Oh Chris! What can I do to make Julie talk to me a little?" I asked him.
"Give her some time. She'll come around. Don't worry too much." Chris said kissing my forehead.
"What are you doing here?" I suddenly asked him.
"I came to tell you that I'm going to see Leslie. I wanna know what happened for her to turn out like that. Maybe I could help or something." He answered me.
"You really think you could change something?" I exclaimed.
"Who knows. Now, you take care of yourself and I'll be back later." Chris replied kissing me. I was so lucky to have him and I didn't know what I would do without him in my life. He held me closer and looked at me in the eyes.
"I love you, Jasmine." He smiled.
"I love you, too, Chris. Come back soon, please." I replied.
"I will." He agreed kissing me once more and leaving me alone in my room. I heard my sister's door open and I looked down the hall to see her going down the stairs. I followed her into the kitchen.
"Julie, please talk to me." I begged her once more.
"Not now, Jasmine. I just can't." She finally told me something and went back into her room.
Well, it was a start… Right?
