"Its pretty much all on your shoulders"

"What do I have to do"

"You have to get Malachai to fall in love with you." Sarah responded

"I have to WHAT?"

"Crystal you have to...if he loves you than he won't kill us if were caught."

"Yea and maybe he will start being nicer" Sarah added

"Not likely"

"Well he won't kill you and you can convince him not to kill us"

"Yea" Sarah gave me a look that was REALLY sad and begging.

"Fine"

"YES! Thank you Crystal" They both came over and hugged me. The day went by fast and Malachai came back sooner than usual. I knew I had to start on the plan fast so I did what he wanted...stay out of his way and complete ignore him. The next couple of days were quiet and uneventful. After 2 weeks of being silent I decided to talk again. "Malachai tell the truth....why do you hate me so much?"

"Why does it matter to you"

"I don’t know it just does ok? I guess I’m just sick of being hated"

"Well you tolerable I’ll give you that...so I don't hate you"

"But according to other people you hate everyone"

"I hate most people...but like I said...your tolerable"

"Im just gonna take that...and...your really not bad yourself" I flashed a quick smile and went up to my room. That went well. I had to admit...he was pretty cute...when he wasn't threatening me or pinning me to a wall or a floor...well....maybe...SHUT UP no he’s not. I shook my head trying to get the thoughts out. My goal was to get him to fall in love with ME not have annoying little thoughts. Probably the only reason why I was have those thoughts was because he was the only guy I have been talking to for 2 weeks. I sat on the bed deep in thought when Malachai walked in and sat down on the bed too. "What are you trying to do?" He asked angrily. "What are you talking about?"

"2 weeks ago you would talk nonstop and piss me off everyday! Now all the sudden you don’t talk to me for 2 weeks and today you just come over and compliment me???your planning something!!"

"What I’m not allowed to be nice?!!?!" I said just as loud and angry as him. He lunged and me and was right in my face. His hands were by my sides blocking my exits. I did the only thing that I could think of...I kissed him. I pulled back and looked at him. He looked really mad. I thought he was gonna hit me when he yanked me up, off the bed, and slammed me into a wall. Then what I least expected...HE kissed ME. The strange thing was...I liked it. I pulled back. Then wished I didn't. "Um..."

Then he just walked out the door!!!! Like backed up, turned around and walked out the door. Without a word!! "Jerk" I mumbled. Who kisses a girl then leaves without a word. How rude. Oh right..this was Malachai we were talking about. He was a rude jerk. I slid down the wall and sighed. I can't fall for him...it would ruin the plan. I really think kissing him was a bad idea but I had nothing else to do. Plus he was RIGHT THERE in my face. I mean yea he isn't that attractive on the outside but here was just something to him that drew me in. I walked over to my bed, layed my head in the pillow and screamed into it. This was so humiliating!!! And to make it worse the song 'Wanted' was playing in my head by Jesse James "Put your lips on my mouth keep me comin around" SHUT UP JESSIE JAMES THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME. "Cuz I only wanna be wanted by you"

AHHHHHHHH SHUT IT!!!! I decided this would be a good time to get dressed (yea I was still in my pajamas at 2:00 pm.) I went through my bag full of clothes that I had brought with me and changed into a black and white tank top and black shorts. I put on my tall black converse and white knee high socks. I kept my hair down and walked downstairs. I didn't have to watch Job and Sarah today so it was just me and Malachai. Which was a bummer for me because I was embarrassed. When I did I almost immediately slammed into Malachai. "I wanna know and I wanna know now..." He said mad but calm. "Know what?"

"Why did you kiss me?"

"Why did YOU kiss me?"

"Answer my question!"

"I don't know okay?? It was all I could think of to do when you were trapping me! I wasn't expecting you to kiss back!!"

"I don't know why I kissed back! I don't know why I kissed you again! I don’t know why I’m even explaining myself to you!! I still hate you got it??!!" I bit my lip. I was about to cry...I could feel the tears coming. "Fine" I ran upstairs and cried into my pillow. Why is it such a big deal to me?!? I was so confused. I wasn’t actually falling for him...was I? I didn’t want to. I needed to stick to the plan. For Job and Sarah.
