Crazed Heart (jai brooks)

Chapter 9:

Jai's POV:

I kissed her. Its the first thing I thought of doing. When I seen her beautiful lips and her angered yet desperate eyes, I couldnt help myself. We both stared into eachothers eyes, waiting for one of us to say something. But all I could do was stare at her beautiful features as I was left in confusion and disbelief. Her eyes mirrored the same emotions I had and that showed me she was thinking the exact same thing. Why the fuck did I do that? Shes gunna think i'm so weird for doing that. For fuck's sakes. My trail of thought was cut off as she coughed awkwardly and looked down at her beige ugg slippers. 

"Look, you dont need to worry about me, okay? I will be fine." I whispered whilst taking a loose strand of her hair and hooking it around her ear. She sighed. I could tell she wasn't happy with my answer but she decided to drop it. I hugged her. She buried her head into my neck. Once she let go, I looked into her eyes and announced, "I have to go now, but ill see you around yeah". She nodded her head in response. Just before I opened the door she shouted, "wait" I stopped. She looked at me with wanderous eyes. "Will you still talk to me after this?". She waited and all I did was give her a sympathetic smile before walking away. I knew that this would have upset her, but I couldn't do this to her, she deserves to be happy. I couldnt let her associate herself with someone as cruel as me. Some would call me psychotic, others would call me inhuman, and if i'm honest, I totally agree.

Riley's POV:

I sighed asthe door shut with a slight slam as he left the apartment. Even though this whole situation has left me confused, I am intrigued. I had such a great time last night even though we didnt socialise much. I enjoyed taking care of him. I enjoyed being in his presence, I enjoyed having his company. It made me feel safe. I hadn't realised how alone I was before he came here. Living in this apartment alone does sometimes get hard, especially when your having a bad day. But if I ever felt alone I would just say it was due to boredom and that I would get over it. But would I really? Would I really stop feeling alone. I sighed again for like to 30th time in the space of an hour. 

I was working a late shift today, basically meaning I was at hell pretty much from 3pm till 10:30 pm. I hated this shift because it would always drag and I would never be able to find any entertainment to keep me occupied. I had just finished getting ready as I rushed my way out the door. Time was not on my side today. I rushed to the store apologizing for my lateness. 

Time dragged as a low umber of customers visited the store. I dont know how this place is still up and running if im honest because it hardly gets any business. Time flew by eventually and it was time to lock up the store. I lowered the shutters as The wind forced against my already cold skin. My coat and scarf was wrapped tighter around my body as the cold wind bit at any skin that had no layers of clothing upon it. The sound of my short heels echoed through the lonely street as no one was around. It always scared me walking home in the dark, you know, with all them stories you hear of things that happen to people but im probably just over thinking as usual. My pace quickened as i neared to an alley way where I could hear muffled screams that echoed through the small area. I stopped as he screams continued. I knew I shouldnt have stopped, because I knew, that being the nosey person I am, would go to see where the noise was coming from. I took small steps down the narrow alley and noticed a man who held a sharp object against a womens neck as she whimpered whilst being forced upon the hard wall. I gasped making the man turn his head towards me. The woman took this as her chance to run, leaving me alone with the man. Bitch, I saved her sorry ass. I backed away as he ran towards me but his icy hands grabbed me by the neck whilst forcing me up against the wall, repeating his previous actions to me. I whimpered under his touch as the cold metal of the knife was held against my skin. Tears clouded my vision as I struggled to breath, making it hard to see the man that had knocked out the attacker and had pulled me up. The person who saved my life, grabbed my hand as we ran towards a black vehicle that i only recognise as jai's. I turned to my left and thanked the lord when I saw no one other than jai there. He forced me in the car whilst running to the other side. He started the car with an angered expression upon his face as he sped up the road towards the block of apartments. I sobbed as he drove faster. Soon enough, we arrived. He took me by the hand and dragged me into his cozy home. I ran inside sobbing in the process as he took me in his arms calming me down. He sat on the couch with me on his lap shushing me. 

"What happened?" He asked as he rubbed my back.

I took a deep breath before replying, "I w-was walkig home from w-work when I heard screaming from the alleyway a=and I went to go and see w-who it was and to h-help the-"

I was cut off as angered flashed through his eyes. He stood up making me fall off of his lap and onto the couch. 

"You went to see what was happening?" He shouted with rage. "How stupid could you get? You could have been killed. Why do you always get yourself into this shit huh? Its like you want to die...." 

"Well sorry for trying to save someones life" I shouted back through my tears.

"You cant even save your own life so why even try?" He fired back.

"Well why do you try to save me then? Why do you always come to my rescue? You tell me to stay away from you because your a bad person when all you keep doing is come back to me... Why, tell me why?" I fired.

Silence. Nothing but silence as he looked at his feet.

"You really wanna know?" He said after calming down.

He took my silence as a yes.

"I'm a killer too. I  have did just as much fucked up shit as what that guy that attacked you had done. I'm crazy. But with you I feel sane. There happy Princess? You finally know the truth..... I warned you"
