Bonnie and Clyde (ON HOLD! Writer's Block.)

8. The Ugly Truth & The Escape

After Nico left I felt weird. I only had sex with him just to get Dylan's story off my mind, but instead I imagined Dylan on top of me and that was wrong. I'm surprised I didn't moan his name or anything like that. I don't know how long we went on for but lets just say that he changed his condom at least four to five times. I can't go to sleep, it felt like hours since he left but I know it wasn't. The sun is creeping up now and I'm still awake. I wonder if Dylan's is as big as Nico's or bigger. That would be insane, he would literally be the whole package. I really like Dylan, even though I feel intimadated by him he somehow makes me feel safe like he would jump in front of a bullet for me. I know he wouldn't but I feel that way. With Nico I get butterflies in my stomach and I feel a sudden rush, which isn't good. My favorite quote about love is "If a guy holds your hand and you feel a sudden rush and get butterflies in your stomach, let him go, chances are that he'll break you into pieces; But if a guy holds your hand and you feel safe with him, keep him, never ket him go because he will be the one to keep those pieces together." I have no idea who said that, but I loved it, it's basically my motto.

The sun is high up in the sky now and I'm still not tired at all. I hear someone unlock the door which means it's time for breakfast. I get up and go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and fix my hair before putting my stuff back in my room and going into the cafeteria. I look to the side of me and see Nico talking to a bald security guard. "Hey." I whisper to him. "The food's over there." he says, not making eye contact. "Why are you talking to me like that?" I ask. "Because, sweetheart, you didn't mean anything to me. You were just a bet, a fifty dollars bet and you were stupid enough to sleep with me." he says as he and the bald guy begin to laugh. I knew it! I knew he wasn't good for me and even though I didn't like him as much as I like Dylan I still felt hurt, disgusted, and angry. I swing and punch him straight in the nose causing to fall on his ass and blood running out of his nose. "Fuck you!" I yell. All of a sudden I see the bald guard coming at me with a tazer. I grab his arm and flip him over. Well all the MMA classes is very handy now. "Stand down!" I hear one yell behind me, but when I turn around he was already laying on the floor and Dylan is handling another one. Holy shit. I heard someone yell escape and I knew exactly who it was. I turn and see Jace, Riley, and Mike charging at the other guards. Soon after, other patients joined the fight too. I see Nico trying to get up and I instantly kick his face causing his head to hit the floor and bounce back up. I grab hs tazer and his keys before pulling Dylan. "We can leave." I whisper as I show him the keys. He smirks at me and I smile back.

"Jace! Riley! Mike!" I yell. All three look at me and I show them the keys. Each of them grabs one of the unconscious guards' tazer and follows me. A couple of the other patients notice and decide on following us too. When we turn on a corner to go to the elevator there was a whole group of guards coming towards us. "Shit." I hear Dylan mutter. "We can do this." I whisper. All at once we run and begin using the tazers, some punching and kicking through the guards. I notice two guards holding Riley and I quickly kick one in the face and elbow the other. "Thanks." she says and I wink at her. Riley and I run to the elevator and begin to push the buttons. The doors open and we go inside. We begin to yell at Dylan, Jace, and Mike as we hold the doors open while they fight off the guards. They begin to run towards us and once they are close enough we move back and all three of them slide in before the doors closed shut. "Is everyone okay?" I ask and they all nod as they catch their breath. The elevator stops and we all get ready for more guards but when the doors open there is nobody there. We ignore it and run to the front doors. I try to use every key until the right one works and unlock it. "There they are!" we hear someone yell and we begin to run as fast as we can. We see a van that looks like the one Jace and I came in and we go to it. I get in the driver's side and try every key but none of works for the van. "Move." Mike says and he starts the car without the keys. "How... nevermind." I say as we drive away.

{}{}{}

We've been driving for thirty minutes now and everyone hasn't said a word. "We escaped!" I yell. scaring everyone. "Sorry, I... I just can't believe it." I say. "I know, it's amazing." Riley says as she hugs me. Riley, Dylan and I are sitting in the back, Riley next to me and Dylan across from me. The van starts to slow down and we hear Mike and Jace curse ubder their breath. "What happened?" Riley asks. "Ran out of gas." Mike replies. We all sigh in frustration then we get out of the car. I see a truck coming from the same direction we were coming from. As it comes closer I see the guards with guns. "Run." I say and Dylan takes my hand. "Run!" We all run into the woods as we hear the truck stop and footsteps behind us. All I see is Dylan running in front of me as I grip his hand and try my hardest not to let go. I try to look around me but stumble over rocks so I keep my head straight. We find a giant, fat tree with lots and lots of leaves and decide to climb it. Dylan lets me go first to make sure that I don't fall. We climb until my arms feel weak and I sit on a fat branch. Dylan comes up and sits on a branch that's across from me and a bit higher. We stay as still and as quiet as possible as some of the guards walk pass the tree. We stay up here for what felt like hours, but we wanted to make sure that they don't pass the tree again.

After a while Dylan begins to climb down and I do so too. He hangs off a branch then lets go, landing on his feet. "Do the same thing." he says to me. "I'll catch you." he adds. I let go of the branch and instantly feel his arms around my waist. "Crazy trust fall, huh?" he says and I can hear the smirk on his face. "I guess so." I smile. We begin to walk, being as quiet as we can. "So" Dylan whispers. "Why'd you punch the guard?" he asks. "Because I was just a bet to him, just like you said." I whisper back. He doesn't say anything. "Go ahead say it." I whisper and he stops as he looks at me. "Say it, I told you so." I say. "No, I'm sorry that what I said was true, I didn't want you to get hurt." he whispers. I smile at him before we begin to walk again. "But" he whispers. "I told you so." he smirks at me and I slap his arm as I chuckle. "Wait" he stops again. "Does that mean that you had sex with him?" he asks. I stay quiet as I try my hardest not to make eye contact with him. "Victoria, did you fuck him?" he says more angrily now. I hear someone run and then stop. I turn my head and see Jace. "Psst." Jace looks at me then jogs to us. "Where's Riley and Mike?" I ask. "They caught them." Jace says. "Oh god, the stuff they're going to do to them." I say. "I know, but I over heard the guards talking and some other patients got away too." Jace says. "Are you serious? That's great!" I say. "Why? That means that there's some real psychos on the loose." Dylan says. "Yeah but we're not their number one priority." Jace says and I smile. "Well lets go." I say and we begin walking.

{}{}{}

I think it's been two and a half hours that we've been walking, minus the breaks we took. The sun is setting as we read a sign that says 'Welcome to New York'. "Well, I'm far from home." Jace says. "Why'd you had to move to Jersey?" I chuckle. "My parents are stupid." he says before hugging me. "See you guys soon." he says as he shakes Dylan's hand. "So, are you going to go back home?" Dylan asks as we begin to walk again. "I'll probably go to pack up some stuff and get my car but I can't stay." I explain. "Why not?" he asks. "My parents don't believe me so they'll probably take me back." I say. "Where are you going?" I ask. "I don't know, I can't go back home because that's where it happened." he says. "Well maybe you can come with me." I suggest. "Are you sure?" he asks. "Yeah, I don't want to travel alone." I smile at him. He smirks at me and says "Okay."
