I'M BAAAAAACK!
Okay, so I told myself I wasn't going to post anything for a while, but I have had this story idea running around in my head for a solid six months now and I finally figured out exactly what I want to do with it!
I am now a junior in high school, and I've only been in school for two weeks… and I'm already crazy busy and stressed out. So, I cannot promise that the updates on this story will come regularly. Sadly, school has to come before fanfiction. BUT, I do promise that I will do my best to try to write and update on weekends as much as I can! (:
This story is sort of a sequel of No Stranger to the Rain, I suppose. It's very different from that story, though.
ALSO! I am rating this story M right from the start because I am not doing a companion fic this time… if there's smut in this story, you're straight up getting it. (;
Disclaimer: I do not own Castle. Andrew Marlowe does. Kapesh?
She was running.
Running as fast as her legs could go. Throwing the dirt from around her feet into the air. Her shoes hit the hard ground for a quarter of a second before they were up and down again.
The rustling trees and the sound of her feet hitting the ground around her was almost deafening. Her ears were ringing and she could hear the sounds of the screams in her ears.
She just needed to get away from there.
She wasn't running from someone, she was running from something. And she felt like she couldn't get away fast enough.
She had committed a crime.
She had committed murder.
She never thought the phrase, "I'm going to kill you!" would become so real. A real sentence that would actually have validity.
Until tonight.
Her life was perfect. Perfect boyfriend, perfect house, perfect job, perfect city. She was happy.
But now, she was scared.
She wanted to hide and never come out.
She felt below everyone else.
She was a murderer.
And she couldn't take it back; couldn't fix it.
She slowed to a stop in front of her apartment building.
She slid the metal key in the lock, turned it, and pushed the door open.
"Babe?" he called out.
"Yeah... it's me… I'm... back," she panted.
He walked towards the door to greet her. "How did it go? Did you do everything I told you to do?"
"Yeah, it's done. It's... over. She's dead."
"Good," he said, a small smile curving his lips upward.
She took another step toward him and collapsed into his awaiting arms. She immediately broke down in tears.
"How can you be okay with this? HowI'm a murderer," she cried.
"No you're not, baby. You did the right thing. If that bitch ratted us out, which I know she was going to, we would've gone to jail for the rest of our lives! Wouldn't you rather stay here and live a happy, free life with me forever?"
"Yes," she whispered between sobs. She looked up into his eyes and let him close the distance between them, placing his warm lips on her soft ones.
"I love you," she cried.
"I love you, too."
Okay, so I know you're all like WTF!? But trust me, it'll all make sense soon enough.
Or will it? (MUAHAHAHA!)
PLEASE review and tell me what you think and who you think the mystery couple is!
