The Escape Artists Of Death (Ian McKinley x fem!reader)

3: Frankie and The Car

Last night Ian allowed me to stay at his place for the night.

I didn't think much of it to be honest.

We watched 'Heathers' and he kept making sure I was okay.

Flashback

I'm on the couch as Ian is in the bathroom.

I'm watching the movie and I just can't seem to stop thinking about everything. I didn't want it to actually happen. And I wish Ashley and Ashlyn didn't die. Maybe I could prevent the other deaths.

Maybe.

Ian walks back out and sits next to me.

"So... You and I would have been the only two to survive right? So we don't die at all? " he asks.

I nod slowly as he sighs.

"I mean death is just a concept. I remember I was 14 when my mom was taking me to the dentist. Terrible accident happened. Near exit 180 to be exact"

Did he just say 180...? Like as in flight 180? Wait. Exit 180 was on the highway that had the other incident with a vision. The girl escaped death by dying and coming back to life! I heard she's in good shape now! Lucky woman.

But so am I. I cheated death myself. Once you cheat it, you only die by old age.

It was easy for me. I hung myself on call with a friend. I was saved by it but almost died. I did it on purpose. And it worked.

"What accident? "

"This girl had a vision. Like the other ones. And she stopped my mom's vehicle. Got us out of there" he says.

"What are you saying...? "

"I'm saying that I wasn't in her vision but I was there. She said that my mom and I cheated death. But my mom moved away and left me here to rot I guess" he says as if it's casual.

"You are gonna live this time" I say as he nods. Only if it's done right that is.

"Yea I know. I know how the system works. When you showed up today it actually made sense. They were the first in your vision. Death is like a force. But... It depends on how it plays out sometimes" he says with a small smile.

"Ian" I say. I'm finally gonna confess.

"Yea Y/n? "

"I like you" I say.

He smirks a little.

"I know. Why do you think I act the way I do towards you? "

Wait. He actually meant all of that stuff? Like the countless nicknames and hand holding!? I thought he meant it in a platonic way!

"Wait you like me? "

"Wasn't it obvious? " he asks as he turns towards me.

"I... I don't know" I say with a shrug as he laughs a little.

"Well now that we are open with each other about it. Do you wanna be my girlfriend? " he asks.

I blush and nod.

"Mhm! "

He chuckles and pulls me in and kisses me.

It's a sweet kiss. Even if he pulled me into it.

A few seconds later he pulls away from me and smiles.

End of flashback

I shift in bed. I forgot where I was until I realized that Im wrapped in Ian's arms. His face barried in my neck as I can feel his hot breath on my skin.

Today Kevin, Wendy, and I are going to hang out.

"Morning sweetheart" he mumbles into my neck.

"How did you know I was awake? "

"Cause I'm smart" he says sitting up.

I roll my eyes.

"I'm hanging out with friends today. So I'll probably be back later today? "

"I got work. Meet me there, ok? " he asks as I nod.

Wendy picks me up and we head to get food. Frankie is in the car in front of us.

Some truck comes up beside us really close and Wendy attempts to tell them to move.

Suddenly we see a truck, without anyone in it, roll down the hill.

Wendy and I scream at Frankie as Kevin honks the horn.

I honk again and Frankie moves his car just as it gets hit.

He rolls out okay which shocks us.

"Holy shit" he says as we notice he cheated death.

"Are you okay!? " I ask. The cops come and take him away.

We head to Wendy's house and look over the pictures. Lewis is next.

"Swords... Something with weights... HOLY SHIT" I yell at the end causing them to jump.

"What? " asks Kevin.

"He's going to die by weights and blades!" I say as they get up quickly.

We head out to the car and head to the school.
