Chapter Nineteen

I screamed constantly.

Then the prison guards would come in, I would ask the same question, and only then would they knock me out cold with drugs. I would wake up about 1 hour later, twindle my thumbs a bit, and then start screaming again. Its one giant cycle to be honest.

Great system. Huge thumbs up.

I was screaming again, and I could hear the sloppy foots step of guards coming.
They were probably extremely tired of having to do this all day.

I was a bit tired of yelling all the time, my voice was growing hoarse and dry. They barely gave me enough water as is, so I hardly every could replenish my throat.

But I needed to see him. I needed to see Aaron.

So I continued shrieking.

The guards came and unlocked the cell, stepping inside, with the needle which contained the sleepy drugs pointing out towards me.

One of them, who was quite younger and most likely not high in the ranks of prison guard said with his hands covering his ears,"Jeez girl, do you ever shut the fuck up?!"

"Oscar! Don't talk to the prisoners! Especially the loons like this one!" Said a older guard, most likely his superior.

"Sorry." Mumbled the guard called Oscar.

He was the one holding the sedative towards me and when he pricked the needle into my arm.

I suddenly grabbed him and pulled him close.

Oscar went white and tensed up, all the other guard rises their guns higher and more stiffly. However they didn't shoot for fear of hitting a fellow guardsmen.

I pulled Oscar even closer to me and whispered in his ear, "Want me to shut the fuck up? Well I need to talk to a man called Aaron Larkin. Let me speak with him, after you'll never hear a peep from this cell again. Do we understand each other?"

He nodded profusely, nervous I would suddenly go bananas and snap his neck.

"Good." I said.

I released him and pushed him back far enough so his back hit the metal bars of the cell.

He'd already injected the drugs into my veins and I started to feel its effects.

"You have until the sedative wears off, then I'll start screaming again."

Then the drugs overpowered me and I dropped, hitting the hard cell floor, then reluctantly fell asleep.

Please Aaron I thought I just want to talk to you before I go.

***

I woke approximately 1 hour later, hand cuffed to chair by both my hands and feet so I was completely and utterly powerlessly.

I felt punch-drunk and groggy from the drug and could barely recognize my surroundings until my dazed eyes rested on a familiar face. His hair had grown out a bit, his once sparkling green eyes were now dull and lifeless, and now his formerly unblemished skin was now marked with a thin scar of where I had cut him.

"Aaron." I breathed out.

"Hello Johanna." He said. He'd called me by my real name and I must say it felt very strange and unnatural for him to call me that.

I had wanted to asked him so many questions and I had though about it over and over again. But now that he is actually here. I couldn't think of anything.

Because despite all the shit he has done to me.
I still can't help but be in love with him.

I am freaking pathetic.

We'd sat there staring at each other, waiting for someone to say something.

Then I decided to break the quiet.

Hesitantly, I spoke "Why did you say it, I mean really say it?"

"Huh?" He wondered.

"What you said at back a the hotel room." I told him, "It was a lie. You said you didn't love me but, you were lying. That's been the only thing, keeping me going the fact that you were lying and you do actually have feeling for me. I have replay that night in my head for the whole time I've been in jail. I know you were lying. "

He looked at me strangely, "But I wasn't lying, I never loved you."

His nose twitched.

"You just lied again."

"No, I didn't."
Once again Aaron's nose twitched.

I smirked and said, "See every time you lie your nose twitches."

"Does not." Nose Twitch. "OK maybe I does twitch when I lie."

(A/N: Did anyone catch that? Its been in previous chapters, Aaron's nose twitching when he lies. *Author Whispers* Foreshadowing.)

I laughed at him and he laughed at himself, and I have to say, I felt good to laugh with him.

When our laughing died down, I repeated my original question.
"Why did you say you didn't ever love me?"

He ran his hand through his hair and then looked me directly into my eyes.

"I said that because...." He sighed and looked down but then continued, "because I was scared and needed to capture you and put you in prison. But most of all i was scared that I had actually had fallen for a serial killer."

"Aaron..." I said when he finished, "I'm breaking out of here and fleeing the country. I want you to come with me."
I had said it so fast I barely had time to process what I said.

There's my master plan!

"What!" Aaron almost shouted.

"Shush.... Not so loud" I quieted him.

"This place is maddening." I told him, "I am going to die here, if I don't get out soon."

"But-" Aaron started.

"No buts. Its either you come with me or you don't. There's no in between."

"I don't think-"

"Aaron, look at me." Aaron's eyes met mine, "I love you." I said. "And I think you love me too. So I want to spend the rest of my life running with you, being with you. However, I can't force you to be with me, it is your decision."

"Uh..." Stuttered Aaron.

"Hey, you have time to decide, if you want to come with me, go to my trail and meet around the back of the court house."

Just then a guard opened the door to the room and said inside, "Ok that's enough chit-chat. Come on prisoner Evers, back to your cell."

He unlocked my cuffs that hooked my feet to the floor, and I stood up and stretched my legs. Aaron stood up as well, attempting to be proper.

Then before the Guard or Aaron could react, I turned and placed my lips on Aaron's.
He was startled for a second then melted into the kiss.

The guard was so shocked, the kiss lasted at least 20 seconds before he pushed me off Aaron.

Aaron flushed, "Remember what I said." I told him.

Then, I was pushed out of the room, still glancing at Aaron over my shoulder.

'Remember Friday' I mouthed to him.

'I won't ever forget. ' He mouthed back.

Then he left my view.
