I look at Jason and he’s terrified. I don’t want to touch him because he might hurt me. His look of horror turns to anger and he clenches his fists. Then he looks at me in the eyes and I can’t continue to look in them. I felt his pain but I can’t bare to look at them. He clenches his jaw. “This is your fault.” I look at him and his eyes become darker and darker, almost black. “What?” I’m trying to stay calm instead of having an outburst. The look he is giving me is so intimidating, I can’t handle it. “This is all your fault Aaliyah.” He says through clenched teeth. “How is it my fault Jason?” He is getting angrier and angrier by the second. But if I don’t stay calm all hell could break loose. “GOD DAMN IT AALIYAH!!!” He grabs my shoulders and shoves me into the wall. “Jason stop!!” Jordan yells.
“GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!” He punches Jordan and instantly he falls to the floor. He’s knocked out.
I look at Jason in shock. I look in his eyes and they look like pure insanity. He stands in front of me. “SERIOUSLY AALIYAH I CAN’T STAND YOU!!! YOU TOLD ME THE DAY AN INTRUDER CAME IN MY HOUSE TRYING TO HURT SAM AND I WAS BEAT TO DEATH, YOU SAID DON’T WORRY YOU’LL BE SAFE WITH US!! BUT AS ALWAYS AALIYAH YOU FAILED! YOU PIECE OF SHIT! SHES FUCKING GONE BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU PROMISED WE WOULD BE SAFE HERE!! BUT LOOK NOW AALIYAH!! BECAUSE OF YOU, WE’RE FUCKING NOT!!!!” Punching the wall next to my head repetitively.
He’s right. I can’t believe I let this happen to her. “Okay Jason.” I put my head down hiding my tears. “When Jordan wakes up, tell him that he’s leader now. I failed.” I walk out and I hear Jason say something that will probably stay with me for a long time. “She wasn’t capable of being leader any way. She’s worthless and useless. Such a waste of fucking time.” I stop in the hall and nod. “You’re right. I am a waste of time.” I whisper.

I don’t know how long it’s been. Two weeks? Three maybe? Who cares. I don’t care, I’m wasting peoples time anyway. I’ve laid in bed for god knows how long. I didn’t care. I was weak from not eating. I’ve lost my appetite. I’ve been staying alive with water.
“Aaliyah come on out its nice outside.” Jordan says for the 4th time today. He knows I’m in the stargazing room. It’s pitch black. When I cry at night, I open the roof to look at the sky. But not lately, it’s been raining. “Aaliyah please I know you’re in here.” He sighs and walks in cautiously finding the bed. “Hey baby girl. You need to eat. And shower. It’s been almost three weeks.” He rubs my shoulder.
“I just want to sleep. I’ll eat and shower when I feel like it.” I whisper. “Wow this is the first time you’ve said a full sentence to anyone since you know…” He trails off. “I know. I’m not in the mood.”
“You haven’t been lately. I’m worried about you Liyah.” He rubs my shoulder again. “Don’t be. I’m perfectly fine. I don’t want to waste anyones time… That’s all. Just get back to work. Find her.” “Okay Liyah.” He kisses my cheek and shuts the door letting me sit in the darkness, just the way I like it.
