"Happy Anniversary babe. We've been dating for a year now" Steven said with a grin.
"I love Steven," I told him, giving him a kiss.4

LATER ON THAT DAY
"MOM! DAD! TALK TO ME! PLEASE DON'T GO! MOM! DAD! NO, YOU CAN'T DIE! I WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE NOW! PLEASE!" I cried as I looked at my mom and dad, lifeless. Covered in blood, laying on the floor. That's when I found a note from Steven:
Dear Amanda,
I hope you know that it was I who killed your parents. Do you remember Mr.Burly? The one who was after your parents? He never achieved iin killing them, because he was sent to jail after his last attempt. Well, Mr.Burly is my father. Yes, I lied to you. My parents don't live in Louisiana! My father sent me to date you, so I could get close to your parents, make a good impression, and then kill. I never really loved you! You are a worthless girl who will never be attractive. I'm positive that you'll live with a bunch of cats in a tiny apartment. You have been fooled Mendez! Your stupidity made everything so much easier. Don't you think that if I really loved you on a trip to Louisiana to get to know my parents? If you would've realized that I didn't love you at all, you would've broken up with me, but you didn't. If you had broken up with me, then your parents wouldn't have been killed, yet. You better be careful Amanda. You're next.
Sincerely,
Steven Burly
When I read the note, I was heartbroken. I should've known! He was right, I am stupid! I cried the whole week, realizing I could've fixed this by breaking up with him, but I had no idea that he was going to do this. I truly loved him, I thought he loved me. I called Melanie and Rachel so they could come over.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Melanie yelled as she saw my dead parents on the floor.
"WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?! STEVEN IS A PIECE OF SHIT! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM, LITERALLY. I'M GOING TO THE GUN SHOP, SEE YA LATER AMANDA," Rachel told me as she walked out the door.
"Rachel wait! Don't go! It's too dangerous! I don't want you to get killed too! Plus, you don't even know where he is!" I yelled at her. I didn't want to lose one of my best friends too.
Melanie stood there in shock. She stared at my parents and then noticed something in my mom's hand. A bomb.
"RACHEL, AMANDA, GET YOUR PHONES AND YOUR CHARGERS! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE! STEVEN SET A BOMB! LOOK, IT'S IN YOUR MOM'S HAND. RACHEL, QUICK! TAKE A PICTURE AND AMANDA, GET THE NOTE TO USE IT AS EVIDENCE! COME ON I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Melanie screamed as we ran out and got into the car. First, he kills my parents and the, he sets a bomb in my house! What was wrong with this kid?! Oh right, EVERYTHING WAS WRONG WITH HIM!
We called the police and told them that there was a change in the address where they had to meet us since the house was going to explode. They sent some firefighters to my house to stay around the area. We told them not to bother to try to stop the bomb because it was going to go off in one minute. There would be police officers meeting us at Melanie's house.
After the police got all their evidence, they left in search for Steven. Melanie, Rachel, and I decided to close our cupcake shop here in Miami, Florida and open one in Holmes Chapel, England. We also moved to be super far away from Steven.

I don't think Harry would be one of those guys. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't do something like that to me. Harry and I have a connection that Steven and I didn't have. Harry makes me feel loved, in a different way that Steven did. I don't know, it just feels more, real.
"Babe, you alright?" Harry asked me in a worried tone as he saw the hurt expression in my eyes.
"Yeah, I just miss my parents," I told him, not getting into much detail.
"Are they on a business trip or something?" Harry asked me. It was kind of cute how he was eager to know what was wrong.
"No Harry, they're dead," I tell him as a tear drops from my eye. He chuckles at first, thinking it's a joke, but when he sees I'm serious, he looks sad and he tries to comfort me.
"I'm so sorry babe. I thought it was a joke, I feel terrible for you. I'm sorry to ask you this but, how did they die? If you don't want to answer the question then it's fine, I understand. I just want to know." Harry made me feel a lot better. The way he was interested in knowing why my parents are no longer alive and the way he tried to comfort me. It was perfect. I told him the story of what Steven did and how my home got destroyed.
"After my house exploded, I stayed with Melanie and made some money to buy a new one. A few months after that, we moved here. Now Steven is in jail, just like his father still is. His mother committed suicide because she was ashamed of her husband and her son," I told him.
"What a dick!" He yelled. He continued yelling and it sort of made me laugh.
"WHAT A FAMILY OF DICKS!" He kept yelling and that's when I started to crack up. He really did care!
"Harry calm down! It's all fine now. My parents are in a better place and Steven is in jail. If this had never happened, I wouldn't have met you," I tell him and he calms down a bit.
"True, but what he did was still unforgivable! He is a dick. I hope he goes to hell along with his father. His mom had a good reason to commit suicide," He said and I giggled. We went downstairs and then he remembered I still hadn't given him his week-aversary gift. I led him to the huge garage and showed him his gift.
"YOU GOT ME A FUCKING FERRARI FOR OUR WEEK-AVERSARY?! YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN ME FOR A WEEK AND YOU GET ME AN AWESOME CAR! MY GIFT WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS! YOU MUST'VE, NO, YOU DID SPEND A FORTUNE ON THIS CAR!" Harry exclaimed and I could see the joy in his eyes.
"I love you!" He told me. Wait what? Did he just say he LOVES me? I'm fine with that...
"I love you too Hazza," I say as I kiss him on the cheek. "I'm gonna go to bed K baby?" I told him.
"Wait for me," he said.
"Harry," I warned him with a serious look on my face.
"Fine. None of that but can we just cuddle?" He asked me. I nodded in agreement and we went upstairs. The night was amazing. I woke up and noticed I was still in Harry's arms. I got out of bed and tried not to wake him up. I got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=108318553
I poured myself some cereal and milk in a bowl and ate. Melanie had left a note that she went out with Niall for breakfast and Rachel went with Louis, Liam, Zayn, Eleanor, Perrie. and Danielle out for breakfast. She was friends with them now so that's good. Melanie, Rachel, and I decided not to be in their gang to make things interesting. When I heard Harry walking out of the elevator, I ran towards him to give him a morning kiss.
"What's for breakfast?" He asked and I giggled.
"I just had cereal," I told him.
"You ate without me?" He asked me and slapped my arm playfully.
I made him bacon and eggs when he told me that he wouldn't eat cereal because he had to eat it with a spoon and told me that he was trying to act like Liam, who was afraid of spoons. I laughed and told him that he should stop acting like other people and be himself, so he did.
"Fine. I'll be myself: I want bacon and eggs because I had cereal yesterday!" He yelled like a little kid.
"I said be yourself, not a little bratty kid. Here's your proper breakfast," I said and handed him a plate full of bacon and eggs.
"I can't eat all this! I want cereal now! Just kidding, but seriously this is a lot. Want some bacon?" He asked me and I gave him the face that Niall makes when he sees pizza.
I had 2 strips of bacon and then went to the second floor.
"Where are you going?" He asked me as I walked up the stairs. I was too energetic to go up the elevator. It was just the second floor.
"I'm going to the gaming room. I want to play in the arcade," He hurried up eating his breakfast and then joined me. After and hour of playing in the arcade, we went into the office room to do our homework. We were done two hours later.
"Damn that took forever!" He said and he looked exhausted and bored from doing all that homework.
"We would've finished earlier if you didn't fool around every five seconds," I said, giggling.
"Hey, I wasn't the only one who took forever!" He playfully hit me in the arm and we both laughed.
Next thing you know, the doorbell rings. That was weird, Rachel was at the mall with the gang and Melanie was at Niall's. Maybe they came to hang out at our place. Harry and I went downstairs to see who it was. I looked through the peephole and saw him. It was Steven.
