Aris Jones X Reader One Shots

Our Paths (Part 2)

A/N:This chapter is just a filler but has a lot of violence in it so proceed with caution

"I told you. I don't know anything,"I repeated, spitting my blood on the concrete floor. This was some real mafia shit right now, and I'm not in that. I'm not even in a gang. I was picking up immunes. Now I'm bound to a chair as some guy in a mask beats me senseless.

"You betrayed us for a reason. What do you know about Right Arm?"He insisted.

"Because some kid got away I'm with Right Arm?"I asked, pointing out the pure ignorance of his statement.

"You think you're funny?"

"I'd like to think so,"I mumbled, keeping up my strong demeanor. He didn't appreciate that answer as he pulled something out of his pocket. If things were bad before they were about to get disgusting.

"Tell me what you know,"He demanded.

"You want the truth?"I asked. He got real close to my face as he awaited my brilliant response. "I. Don't. Know. Anything,"I said slowly, talking to him as though he was a toddler.

"That's it! I've had enough!"He yelled.

On the inside I was terrified. I can put on all the acts I want, but I'm still human. I still don't want to be in pain or in a hole in the ground after having accomplished nothing.

Then, I thought about Aris.

Maybe I did accomplish something.

As long as he's safe I did something right for once.

Aris's P.O.V

I don't know if it was me that needed to learn or them, but the result was the same. I lost every time and ended up in my cell covered in bruises and blood. I don't know if it's downright stupidity or a dangerous level of overconfidence, but it was getting me nowhere.

On the surface.

I was showing them that no matter what they couldn't keep me down. Physically I may be hunched over in pain, but mentally I am just as strong as ever. They can't take who I am from me.

I just hope that this is the right path. Or else that girl would have gone through something she wouldn't tell me about for nothing.

I really hope that I'm doing the right thing.
