Chasing The Lies

Chapter 13

They knew where I was. The insane person who wanted me stuck in prison for the rest of my life knew where I was because I was stupid. I hadn't been waring my disguise out of pure forgetfulness and it had been a huge mistake. It's a wonder no one else had noticed who I was this whole time I was here at Spencer's. He reassured me before that non of the people around, including his parents, ever watched the news because they were too preoccupied with their own problems. It still worried me though. What if some one did notice me and the cops were on their way now. We had to go some where else. It was too dangerous being here now. I had to get out of here before I was found.

I stood up from the couch I was sitting on and rushed up the stairs to pack all my belongings. I needed to leave now. The fact that the psychopath who wanted me to fall for their crimes knew where I was pushed me to pack all of my belongings in less than five minutes. I hoisted my suit case up and dragged it out the room and down the stairs. It clunked down the stairs noisily and drew attention to my panicked state. Soon Asher was at my side, helping me pull my luggage down the rest of the stairs.

"Why are you carrying this down?"

I stared at him in complete astonishment.

"You seriously think I am going to stay here another moment with my potential killer just around the corner?!" I practically screamed in his face.

Asher took a step back and put his hands up in defense. Okay, so maybe I just freaked out on him for no reason but I was going crazy. I couldn't stay in this house for another second.

"Calm down, sweet heart." Asher whispered carefully.

I looked into his hypnotizing hazel eyes and took in a deep breath. Entranced in his eyes i slowly started to calm down and could actually breath without hyperventilating. I started to walk towards him without thinking, just wanting to touch him in some way. Once I was only a foot away I reached out and laid my hand gently across his cheek. It was slightly rough from stubble but it was perfect to me. Asher took his own hand and laid it over mine, sighing in content. This moment right here is what i wanted to remember forever but it was over in an instant when Spencer walked in.

"Hey guys have you seen where I put my phone?"

Asher and I quickly jumped away from each other and tried too look casual. Asher pulled it off way better than me who had my hand stuck awkwardly in my hair and was back to hyperventilating. He looked like nothing had ever happened except for the slight flush on his cheeks but you had to be really looking at him to notice it. I tried to calm my breathing again when I noticed that Spencer looked completely fine which meant he didn't know a thing. This calmed me enough to allow my self to look at Spencer and try to get out an answer. Before I could even speak though Asher was already answering.

"No, I haven't seen it but you need to find it quick because we need to get out of here."

*******************************************************************************

An hour later I was still waiting for Asher and Spencer to finish packing. I mean it took me less than 5 minutes for me, what was taking them so long?

Currently I was perched on the edge of the bed ready to jump into action if i needed too. I never knew when some freak could pop out of no where and kill me right there. I obviously looked very tense because Asher has told me multiple times before not to worry, he wouldn't let any one touch a single hair on my head. That was sweet and all but how could he protect me when he was in the closet, which was like a completely different room, and not beside me. So I continued to be tense and freak out at every little sound I heard. So when Asher's phone went off i nearly died of fright. Once i figured out it was his phone and stopped my silent screaming I picked up his phone and flipped it open, wanting to see who almost put me in my grave early. I was surprised to see it was a blocked number. after reading the text I calmly closed the phone and walked over to the closet to show Asher the terrifying message i just opened. I tried to keep my cool as much as i could but I felt like i was going to explode from fear. I leaned against the closet door and watched Asher calmly pack, totally unaware of my presence. I cleared my throat to get his attention and when he looked up a smile broke out on his face.
