High school from a nerds point of view

Chapter nineteen

Aidan wouldn't talk to me.
"Come on its not that bad."
He just looked at me.
"I mean like I said we all have to die right."
Still nothing.
"And this way I get to know now when my time is up."
"How could you!"
He finally said something.
"How could I what?"
"How could you push him like that! Are you crazy now? Or depressed do you want to die?"
"Of course I don't want to die."
"We could have been together for a while and now look what you did."
his eyes started getting watery.
"Aidan.....I'm sorry."
I walked over to him and held his hand threw the cold bars.
"Paris he will kill you."
"Don't worry about that."
He squeezed my hand tightly and j saw a couple of tears fall from his eyes.
"Aidan it will be fine I promise death isn't a big deal."
"It is to me do you not understand that I love you?"
"Maybe. Don't you understand that I love you?"
"What?"
I blushed. Of course I loved him how could I not and facing my death had made me more willing to admit it.
"Of course I love you stupid."
"You never acted like it or even said anything...I wasn't sure you even liked me."
"Let's face it I mean in what world would you ever like the nerd back?"
He laughed.
"In what world would you ever like the std infested bad boy."
I laughed remembering telling Ally he had STDs.
"This one....now no more crying it makes you lose your edgy vibe."
He smiled.
"If you ever tell anyone I cried I'll deny it."
"How will you know I'll be a ghost I'll tell all my little ghostly friends and we'll make fun of you."
"Your not going to die."
"Liars don't keep friends."
"I'm not lying I won't let them kill you I'll kill them first."
I laughed.
"Ok then captain America."
"No I want to be superman."
We talked for a while cracking jokes but the fact of the matter was I was going to die and he couldn't stop it no matter how much he wanted to. I watched him wanting to remember everything about him for as long as I could. I noticed that he couldn't hold still for longer then a minute with out having to move I noticed he ran his hands threw his hair when ever he didn't want to answer a question. he would bite his lip when ever he was thinking about something. I loved learning things about him like why his favorite color was white and why he hated cats and what his favorite movie was. I was so fascinated with everything that the hours ticket by with out me noticing until officer red was at my cell.
"So everyone is worried about you Paris."
"Yea? What are they saying?"
"That your dead."
"Hmm well."
"Your not surprised they gave you up so fast?"
"No I'm sure you started the rumor."
"The only person who wasn't upset was your dad I wonder why?"
"I don't know I mean maybe he doesn't care much about me or maybe he still has hope."
"How will he feel when he finds out you killed yourself."
"But I didn't."
"But that's what it's going to look like."
"Maybe he will be relived to be rid of me."
He laughed as he unlocked my cell.
"I've found out the perfect punishment for Aidan."
"What's that?"
"He gets to watch you die!"
"Why is that the perfect punishment?"
"He loves you so what's worse then living when the person you love isn't?"
Aidan was looking at him.
"That's right there isn't anything worse."
"What made you like this? I mean people aren't born cruel?"
"We adapt to the people around us."
He unlocked his cell and pushed us up the stairs. Aidan grabbed my hand as he led us out of the cave.
"We're are we going?"
"Why?"
"I thought you would kill me in the cave house?"
he rolled his eyes.
"Why would I want to get blood everywhere?"
"Sounds like someone is a OCD freak."
He pushed me to the ground and pointed the gun at me.
"Ready?"
"Are you?"
He started counting.
"One."
My heart started beating.
"Two."
I couldn't breath and I shut my eyes.
"Three."
I heard gunshots but didn't feel anything. I slowly opened one eye then the other and in front of me was officer red dead. I looked over to Aidan and he was staring open mouthed at the officer. Then we heard rustling and officers swarmed out of the bushes the cop that had been holding Aidan took off running back into the cave he made it into the elevator and was gone. I couldn't breath for a minute I just looked around. The people around us where on our side they saved me. I stood up and started waking toward Aidan and that's when everything happened. The officer that had went back into the cave was back and he had what looked like an army behind him. I saw one of the guys point his gun at Aidan and before I could stop my self I was running toward him and pushing him down getting in the way of the bullet myself. I felt it making its way into my shoulder it felt like someone had poked me with a red hot iron and was pushing it in deeper. Pain was shooting all down my arm and all over my chest causing me to lose my breath. I could feel the blood running down my arm and into the grass and slowly I felt myself getting sleepy I opened my eyes and saw Aidan looking down at me with panic written all over his face. I tried to reach out and grab his hand but my arm wouldn't move. Then the sleepiness over took me and everything went black.
