Chapter 21: "I know everything about Kelsey. You can not lie to me »

  I needed to calm down. I needed to stop shaking. And I needed to leave this stage

Of autism that had suddenly appeared in me.

  After that strange scene in the forest, he had gone into shock. But a very deep shock. So much so that I had not even realized that Aaron had loaded me all over the forest and got me in his car. I did not realize I was driving. I had not realized it was practically frozen. I had not realized that his jacket was on my shoulders and I had not realized he had turned on the heating for me.

  We were in deep silence in his car. I could only feel his gaze from time to time, penetrate me and I could even risk telling myself to burn my skin.

  The car stopped at a rickety traffic light and Aaron's eyes went to me. I felt it but I was not going to see it. And just to remove the possibility of temptation, I looked out the window. I saw my reflection in the rearview mirror and God was ugly.

  My make-up ran, my hair full of leaves and completely disheveled, my shirt ripped into one of the sleeves and my face covered with ragdolls that the branches had caused.

  It was disgusting, but more than normal.

  I raised my legs in the seat and made a ball as the car started. I settled even deeper into what was already on Aaron's jacket and looked ahead.

  I felt...

  I did not know how I felt. It was so strange that I could not decipher it. It was fear, mixed with confusion, mingled with a little consternation and a hint of mistrust and impression. And that without mentioning the adrenaline that continued to run through my body.

  I wanted to get out of the fucking car. He wanted to open the door even though he was on the move, jump and then roll and then run as fast as he could to get out of there.

  But he knew there would be no point in doing so. First of all, chances are that with my bad luck and how clumsy I am, die trying. And the second might be that I was in such bad shape that the fat that exceeded my body, made it bounce off the road and that is the only reason I did not die. But then I would have to run, and the fat was no good for that, not to mention that Aaron was a damn Flash and would reach me the moment he wanted to catch up with me.

  Remembering that Aaron was quick, led me straight to what had happened earlier in the woods. I closed my eyes tightly trying to get that image out of my head.

  Damn Kelsey, why do you always get in trouble when they do not call you?

  And that is, yes, I always got into trouble. But I did not have the damn fault! Problems haunted me! What was I supposed to do! Evade them !? HOW DARE SHE DID IT !?

  I needed something, but I did not know what. Or she did.

  I needed none of this to happen.

  He needed Aaron not to be what he thought he was.

  I needed a time machine to get my ass out of the woods before that madman showed up.

  I needed to have lost all my senses for that damn hour or more in which the maniac had appeared.

  I needed my fucking parents not to have left me in a goddamn orphanage where they taught me to curse so much and use God's damn word in vain all the damn time.

  But he knew that what he asked for was impossible.

  CURSE! WHY SHIT I DID NOT CASE A KEY?
