Sins ♕ / Justin Bieber / Jason McCann / Shawn Mendes

[9] Escape

I kept my knees tightly pressed against my face. I didn't want to look at anyone or anyone to look at me. Jason held me by my arm and took me back to his car. Thankfully, he didn't harm my parents any further but I remained uncertain about my future. Where were we driving now?

I hated Jason with every single cell of my body, he was the incarnation of evil yet I hated myself more than I hated him. If I thought about it he was just taking revenge on me for something that I was involved in, the homicide of his girlfriend.

She was the one who kept him sane as Jazmyn said and I could corroborate that after watching the CD video of them together in several occasions.
His genetic syndrome and the death of Emily sunk him into the sea of hate and pain he was swimming on.

I never saw him break before, he would always radiate anger or hate through his pores but when he started crying before in the uncared house I could sense and almost taste the bitter and sour feeling of his sadness and endless pain. How could a thirteen year old girl know that her excitement about a trophy would cost a life, in fact two.

My parents never told me the girl in the car crash died. They simply told me she broke her arm but that she was completely safe and sound, but what could you expect. It was pretty obvious they weren't going to traumatise me by telling me the hard truth. I simply found out as I grew up.

Buildings rose over my sight at the distance. We were entering a city, a big one to be exact. The concrete and metal structures welcomed us as I had a glimpse of the people passing by the sidewalks. Families with their children, couples holding hands, friends laughing as they told funny stories. I envied each of them, I envied their freedom and their innocent and sane minds.

I switched my gaze to Jason's position, he kept his eyes locked on the road firmly but I knew his attention was on the happiness of everyone surrounding us. The unbearable feeling of guilt kept twisting my stomach unmercifully. Everyone seemed extremely happy but us.

Jason parked inside the car park of a coffee painted building and kept his gun hid behind his jacket intimidating me like he would always do. We entered the lift as the metals door opened and Jason pressed the '5' floor. The doors closed with a nice sound and the elevator travelled up to the desired floor.

When the doors opened I saw a corridor with a red carpet which led to a couple of wooden doors with metallic plates on each. Jason pushed me from behind indicating me to walk forward. I obeyed him with no hesitation until he indicated me to stop on the door with the plate '29' on it.

He brought a handle of keys from outside his leather jacket pocket and inserted the right one inside the lock. He opened the door and pushed me in with tired moves. It was an apartment, it looked quite modern and comfortable, the main entrance leaded to the open living room with a massive window and a balcony, the kitchen was connected to it and just two other rooms by the side of the living room. but just before I could analyse it any further Jason handcuffed me against a metal bar by the fridge.

He took a cigarette from outside his pocket and lighted it up before breathing in the toxic fumes. He avoided making eye contact with me and simply left the apartment to god-knows-where.

Hours passed by and the only entertainment I had was the fridge next to me which thankfully had several resources for my hungry and needy stomach. Suddenly the metallic sound of keys sliding inside the lock made me flinch and stand up fearing an angry Jason with torturous desires.

The door opened letting the beam of light from the corridor of the apartment illuminate the room. Suddenly a click sound filled my ears and the whole kitchen and living room lights switched on. A figure walked in but it was not Jason, it was a black man around his late thirties, he was wearing a grey suit adorned with a sea blue tie. His eyes travelled across the room until he finally spotted my presence.
