Riley's POV
I held Jason in my arms as he cried. I was shaking from the cold water but I ignored it. After what seemed like forever I head footsteps. JOHNSON: "Jason bro where are you?" ME: "in the bathroom" Johnson cane in and looked down at us on the floor. JOHNSON: "what the hell happened?" I sighed ME: "it's a long story. Can you help me get him to bed" after sending me another confused look he leaned down and helped me lift Jason off the floor. We carried him to his bed and I pulled his wet shirt off before pulling the covers up to his chin. Johnson grabbed my arm and yanked me out of the room. He shut the door and dragged me back to my room. He released my arm and crossed his over his chest JOHNSON: "now tell me what the hell happened." I sighed ME: "Jason came in and dragged me to the bathroom. He kept screaming at me and telling me that it was my fault. He started to drowned me in the bathtub. Then he just let me go and started crying. He said… he said Alex was…" I broke off as the memory of Jason crying on the bathroom floor came into my mind. Johnson choked back tears JOHNSON: "yes Alex is dead. The police shot him while he was getting supplies." tears fell down my face as I looked back down the hallway towards Jason's room. ME: "I have to go back I cant leave him alone like that" I started for the door but Johnson grabbed my arm. He flung me down onto the mattress and glared at me. JOHNSON: "what kind of fucking game are you trying to play." I looked up at him terrified ME: "I have no idea what you are talking about" Johnson's lips formed a tight line and I felt his fist come in contact with the flesh on the side of my face. I bit back a scream JOHNSON: "THE HELL YOU DO! You think I don't know what you're doing? You're trying to make him fall for you so you can escape" I held my cheek and glared back at him ME: "YOU'RE WRONG" he hit me again. He wasn't wrong but I couldn't let him see that. JOHNSON: "I don't have time for your shit. You wanna stay with Jason? Fine I don't give a fuck. But don't think your gonna get away with anything." he stormed out of the room and I got up slowly still holding my cheek. I walked back to Jason's room and crawled onto the bed beside him. He was still shaking. ME: "hey Jason" he pulled me into his arms and I curled into him. JASON: "im sorry" I looked into his eyes and stroked his still damp hair. ME: "I know" he looked at my face and stroked a hand over where Johnson had hit me. He must have seen the bruise in the moonlight JASON: "Johnson" I nodded and he sighed. We were both quiet for a while. Just the sound of our steady breathing and Jason's occasional sob broke up the silence. I thought he was asleep so I pulled away slowly. His arms tightened around me holding me to him JASON: "please don't leave me" I placed a kiss on his lips and snuggled back against him ME: "im not going anywhere" not for now anyways. I knew I had to get away. no matter how much I felt sorry for him. Or how much I was starting to care for him. I had to go through with my plan. I had to get away from this hell. I had to get back to my family. I sighed and blinked back the tears. I love you mom and dad ill see you again soon I promise.
Jason's POV
I felt her start to pull away and I tightened my grip on her. ME: "please don't leave me" the broken tone in my voice made me sick. I was a killer. A monster. Monsters were not suppose to be weak. I shouldn't need her to stay with me. But as she curled back into my arms I knew I did. I pulled her as close to me as possible RILEY: "im not going anywhere" I need her here. just for tonight. Just for now. Tomorrow ill be back to my old self. Tomorrow ill get my revenge. Tomorrow I wont need her. Tomorrow ill get rid of these …feelings…tomorrow.
