Innocent ✔️

Forty two

I pushed him away and got up running downstairs. All the way down, I was hoping that Jonathan was still there and didn't leave.

Hearing Jackson calling my name made me just hate that he was following me knowing that he will hear what I will tell Jonathan and made me run faster not wanting him to catch me.

I went to where he was standing and found him opening the front door to leave.

"Can I come with you?" I screamed causing Jackson to stop in track and look at me like I was crazy and Jonathan to turn around and make sure that I was telling him that.

"What?" He asked.

"My name was on list! Which means that you wanted me in your house." I said, looking at him. I didn't know if I should call him sir or just Jonathan which made me kind of nervous to call him the wrong thing and make him react badly.

"Yes. You want to come?" A small smile appeared on the corner of his lips when he walked back in and pushed the door to shut it again.

"Yes." I bite my lip, not knowing exactly if what I said was the right thing to say. "I mean I don't have a choice, my name is on your list."

He softly nodded and start walking closer to me making my heart beats to speed up. I didn't know what was coming but I knew that was I was doing was the right thing. Not what I wanted, but the right thing to do.

"And I'm giving you the chance to choose baby girl." His hand got placed on my cheek making me want to call Jackson to push him away from me but I didn't have time to even think about it before his hand got slapped off by Jackson and I got pulled away from him.

"Ana," Jackson's scared features sort of pleased me. I felt like I was loved and it caused me to want to smile and tell him that he was a really good actor. "Ana don't do that!" I could see the fear of being reject in his eyes but that won't change what I wanted. "He only wants you to go with him so he could just make me feel like I lost. He only wants to have sex with you Ana, believe me." He was looking into my eyes as if he was trying to compel me to pick him but I only shrugged his arms off of me and said "at least he won't win my trust then go around having sex with everyone." When he didn't answer, I knew he gave up. As much as I wanted him to stop me as much as I wanted to leave. "I'll go pack." I whispered, keeping my eyes on his watery ones. The thought of seeing Jackson cry makes me weak but I ignored it.

"You don't have to pack, Anastasia. I'll buy you everything you need." Jonathan crossed his arms with that stupid smirk glued on the corner of his lips.

I didn't expect myself to pick Jonathan over Jackson but I didn't look at it that way. I looked at it from the other perspective, me wanting to be with Kyle and if Jonathan was the answer than so be it.

I took one last look at Jackson and somehow saw tears falling down his cheeks. Was winning this game so important to him? Was this the last time I'm going to see him?

I just turned back around finally walked out of this mansion, not knowing where I'll go or who will be there. I didn't even say goodbye to Miss Robertson.

All I was thinking about was being in the same place of my brother. I wouldn't pick someone that would probably leave me over my own brother that I'm sure won't think about leaving.

I know I acquiesced on going with Jonathan not even know if it is the right choice and not giving myself a chance to think and pick something, I just went for it, thinking if it was the right choice or not.

I emitted a long sigh of fear, detesting the fact that I always overthink over my choices but this was the first time of my life choosing something that serious.
