Twisted

Secrets

The rest of the night and day went like that. It was a good day, I actually smilled for once without being forced. Valerio made me forget for one day that I was in prison.

Jason came around five o'clock, ''Valerio, we're leaving. C'mon.''

''Not until you say sorry to Kitty.'' He then sits closer to me.

Jason sighs and enters the room. ''Okay, I'm sorry. Now can we go?''

Molly comes out of the bathroom with pajamas on and rolls her eyes.''So the family's here.''

''Very funny.'' I snap.

''I'm joining you then.'' she sits down next to Jason and starts talking to him.

''Remember, people are friends not food.'' I smile jokingly.

Molly shows her fangs just to add to the situation, ''Don't worry about it.''

''Okay calm down Draculara, lets get down to business before the gaurds come.'' Valerio looks directly at Jason on this one.

''I said I was sorry.'' he stares back

''You didn't mean it.'' Valerio snaps.

''I never wanted an apology.'' I add muttering.

''You got depressed after what he said. I think you NEED an apology.'' Valerio sighs.

Jason now turns to me, ''I'm sorry.''

I nod looking at the floor, ''Before you go can you tell me what happened to Jesse??''

He hesitates, ''He was driving to someplace, drunk, and crashed into a loading dock. Now he's been asleep for um, a week. I think. Also the doctor hasn't told me anything else since Tuesday.''

I nod, ''That doesn't sound like him. Are you sure he was drunk?''

''Yea the doctor ran tests and he was basically wasted to the max.''

''Damn.'' I start to rub my temples.

''Don't beat yourself up for it. Your under a lot of presure either way.'' Molly lays down and turns to face me.

''Don't remind me. Next week is my dead line.'' I almost start to cry.

I feel Valerio and Jason stare at me. ''The only reason I haven't told you is because I-I didn't want you to worry more than you already are.''

They nod, ''Okay.''

''There's a slight chance that ny wrist won't get better. It's still broken and I have scars now. A few days ago one of the doctors said I couldn't take anymore wounds. Long story short, I might have to move to Michigan to get the proper treatment..''

Valerio just stays there staring at me like someone had thrown a spear right through him.

''What?'' Jason says.

I nod. My eyes get so watery that I can't see and I hug my knees to my chest. ''Im sorry.''

''It-it's okay.'' Valerio doesn't change position or expression. ''They won't torture you at all to see if you've made progress. Then if you don't they'll send you to M-Michigan.''

He made sense but I was unsure at the same time. His eyes had gotten darker and Valerio got tense to what I had told Jason and him.

''You have a point.'' Molly added quietly.

''And I thought it couldn't get worse.'' Jason whispered even softer.

Silence drifted over us for a few minutes. Gaurds passed, back and forth, but we didn't care. It felt like time had stopped.

''I'm scared.'' I finally get the courage to say.

When you think about it.... who wouldn't be?! If anyone would go through this much, they would be in tears every second of the day.

''Everything's going to be fine. We just need time to figure things out. Then we c-''

I swallow hard to clear my throat, ''Why are you so calm about things?! I'm. supposed to be stuck in this hell whole for four years, I don't remember, but I do know that I want to get out.''

''Escaping?! Are you crazy?'' Valerio just starts shaking me left to right.

''Well i'm already in a mental hospital.'' I laugh sarcastically.

He backs down a little and so do I.

''Someone's coming.'' It was Isabella.

We nod and Valerio and Jason hide.

Just after a few minutes, heavy footsteps come headed our way. They stop in front of our door but instead of opening it the guard opens the door across from us.

Valerio comes out and sits next to me.

''What are you doing?'' I mouth to him.

He just shakes him head, meaning to calm down thats it's fine.

I just nod and listen to the sounds.

The gaurd takes out something, a kind of cart? I don't know, but the squeaky wheels drived me crazy. He/she locks the door again and walks away.

Just before we could start talking again another gaurd comes running down the hall. It was only 5:52, something must have happened. Activity in this place is at night or really early in the day.

Just when everything was quiet, screaming surprised us. It was obviously a boy. Just one more victim.
