Leaving Pt.2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My breathing hitched. "What?", I uttered lowly.

Jesse opened his eyes realizing what he said. I pulled my hand away quickly and took a few steps back.

"Ava, let me explain", he said advancing towards me.

Explain? Explain! What could he possibly explain?! Everything is clear now. Everything makes sense. This is the piece of the puzzle that I needed! This is the piece that would show Jesse's true colors! He's a murderer! My parents are missing and he just admitted to killing them!

I looked for any means of protection and found none. I turned back towards him.

"Stay away from me!"

"Ava...Please. I can explain. You need to hear this "

"I don't need to hear anything! Just leave! You're fucking crazy!"

Jesse stopped. His eyes became darker...I became scared. My heart raced. What was his next move?

"D-do you really believe that?", he asked slowly.

I didn't know what to say? Did I believe that? I remember reading about pathological liars, psychopaths, sociopaths, and unstable people. They all shared one characteristic; they believed they were sane, when in reality they were anything but.

"I d-don't know", I answered truthfully.

"This is why you need to hear me out. I'll tell you everything!", he answered. He began slowly advancing towards me again. I did not back away this time. I mean where would I run? Jesse's taller, stronger, and probably faster than me. I stood no chance.

"How do I know you'll tell me the truth?" Tears begin to cloud my vision. I blinked them away before they could escape.

"Ava, you need to trust me. I told you, I would never hurt you. I want to protect you."

"But you'd be willing to hurt those around me." My eyes betrayed me and a few drops of tears slid down my cheek.

Jesse noticeably stiffened. "Yes. If that's what it takes."

I should have ran. Someone this obsessed that they'd be willing to kill those you love in the sake of protecting you, isn't someone you should be around.

But I didn't. As much as I wished I did, I didn't. I was too curious. I needed some answers, and he's willing to give me those answers. Hopefully, curiosity won't get me killed...

"Ava, are you willing to listen?"
