*Tobias's POV*

I wake up on her bed. I look to my side. She is laying there with her hair loose around her. I sight. Maybe I shouldn't have done this. How the hell would I tell her that we can't see each other anymore. She would think that I have been waiting to sleep with her, just to break up with her. She turns while she's asleep to lay on my chest. I place my hand through her beautiful hair. She starts to wake up. "Hey." She whispers smiling. "Hey." I say smiling back. She pecks my lips softly. "I love you." She says as she places her arms around my waist and place her head on my chest. I place my hands on her shoulders. "I love you, too." I whisper softly. I can't do this. I don't wanna leave her. I can't leave her. She's all I have now. It is not fair. For us. For me. A knock on the door makes both of us jump. "Get up! Get up!" She says as we get out of the bed. "Into the closet go." She says as she pushes me into her messy closet. She closes the door behind her. If this is her mother or her father, we are domed. Shit. I am standing half naked in my girlfriend's closet. I place my ear on the door to try to hear anything. "Hey Peter. What's up?" She says nervously. Shit. It is worse. It is her little brother. "Dinner is ready." He says. "Okay, I am coming down." She says still so nervous. "Why are you standing in front of your closet? Are you hiding something?" He asks. Shit. Shit. "Oh, no no." She says. I hear the doorknob turn. I try to find anything to hide in. God! I hate this closet. The door opens, revealing little Peter next to his sister. She got her face into her hand. "Hi?" I say nervously. "Woods? What are you doing in Ruby's closet? And why are you wearing only your boxers?" He asks. Fuck this man. "We were playing a game, Peter. But, It is a secret, okay?" She says as she squats down to face her little brother. She's wearing a robe. "It means that you can't tell either mom or dad or even Louisa." She says as she places her hands on his shoulders. "Okay. But, you guys do like each other right?" He asks. I smile as Ruby looks at me. "Yeah, Pete. We do." I say as I squat next to her. "I love you both." He says as he hugs us both. I place my hand around him, as I meet Ruby's on the other side. "We love you, too." I say. "Okay, see you." He says as he gets out of the room. She looks at me. We laugh together.

"I will see you, tomorrow." I say as I stand on the ladder resting on her window. "Okay." She says as she kisses me softly. I walk down the ladder and to my car. I drive to my house. I just had the best time of my life. This is just perfect. I mean if we go on and date through college, it would be awesome. We would come every holiday to stay at her family's house. I would eventually ask her to marry me. Oh how much I really wanna marry her. We would have kids. We will live happily. But, I will probably never see her again after tomorrow. I am just going to take her on a date tomorrow. I will tell her that I can't see her anymore. She will probably think I am a jerk. But, if she only knew it's for her sake. For her safety. For the safety of her beautiful family as well. A family I have never had.

I walk into my house. It is been this way since Tessa left. I probably should go tell her goodbye before I go to jail. I walk upstairs to my room. I lay in bed with a sad face and a head full of thoughts. I feel bad for myself. I feel bad for Ruby. I should have let her stay with Albert. He wouldn't have put her through all of this. I will have to break two hearts tomorrow. Not only hers. It is also mine. Cause I think we share the same heart.

I wake up and get out of bed , after an almost sleepless night. I couldn't stop thinking about today. What should I say? How should I approach Ruby? I don't wanna go to school. I decide to visit Tessa. I will tell her whatever I am doing tomorrow. I walk downstairs to my car. I send Elite a message to meet me at Tessa's apartment. Elite wasn't so close to Tessa. Tessa was married already when mom died. She texts me that we will meet there. I drive to Tessa's new apartment.

I park my car and head to the building. I meet up with elevator by the elevator. "Hey." She says as we hug. We enter the elevator. "So, did you tell Ruby?" She asks. I sight. "I don't know what to say. That I won't see you again. It is just so hard." I say as we walk out of the elevator. "It will be alright." She says as pats my arm. I knock on the apartment that Tessa told me about. Her face appears as she opens the door. "Elite?" She asks as she lays eyes on Elite. They hug tightly. She lets inside. We sit into the living room. "Where is Anne?" I ask. "She's in school." Tessa says. Unfortunately, I can't see her before tomorrow. "What are you doing here, Elite? How are your parents?" Tessa asks. "Everything is good." Elite answers smiling. I sight. "Tessa." I say. "Yeah?" She says. I take a deep breaths as I tell her what I am about to do.

"No! No! I won't let you do this." She shouts with tears in her eyes. "Tessa, I am not asking. I am telling you." I say. She cries into her hands as Elite pats her shoulder. "I came to say goodbye. For now." I say. I know that one day I will be out of jail. It might be years from now. So, I am saying goodbye for now. I stand up to leave. "I really hope you come to visit." I say on my way out. I regret everything. I am a jerk. I am a jerk for leaving my sister. I am a jerk for listening to my father. And most importantly, I am a jerk for leaving Ruby. For breaking her heart. I walk to my car. I check my phone to find a pile of notifications and missed calls from Ruby. I send her a text, telling her to be ready tonight. I am having this conversation tonight. There is no other way. I sight as I drive home to get everything ready. Ready to break my heart and hers.
