Set Him Free

You are bleeding

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

This is a state of grace

this is a worthwhile fight

Two hours later, Anna wakes up to a very annoying noise. She tries to move when the pack of ice fell on the floor and her left cheek stinging so badly. Not knowing where she was, Anna starts to panic. Getting up very quickly, she starts to walk slowly towards the sounds that wake her up , they were coming from the upstairs. Is it where her kidnapper kills her? Should she run away? She could feel her heart thumping on her rib cage. Oh god this is my freaking first day here! She shuddered. And stilled in her place, near the staircase.

Suddenly the sounds stopped, and footsteps made their way to the stairs. Her feet draw back to where the door is and her hands clenched the knob tightly. She silently made a prayer, please don't let me die so soon at least let me have my first kiss!

Aaron was surprised to see the girl standing beside the door with her small fisted hands. He believed she'd at least scream when she opens her eyes, but she was rather staring. His frown sank deeply, he shouldn't have brought her here.

''why am I here? '' Anna asked the guy in front of her '' and who are you, are you some psychopath who kidnaps innocent girls to kill them? ''her little mouth couldn't shut up for the first time when she wanted to stay the hell mute.

His eyes were staring daggers at her, she is sure that if looks kill she'd be six feet under. His muscles tensed under his wet t-shirt and beads of sweat was dropping from his forehead. He's a heartless jerk and criminal that what would people always see him as, but why he didn't want her to call him that. He never mind it before but this girl, she's different.

Anger that was the only thing he felt since ever. And now he's furious. Furious at no one but himself.

Anna's eyes fell on his bleeding knuckles she gasped and rushed to him, forgetting that he was the one punched her in the morning. Her hands held his with tender touch.

'' you're bleeding'' she stated the obvious .

Aaron froze from her touch, no one has ever touched him with kindness or consoles for years. He kept watching her every move, when she took out a tissue from her jeans pocket and started to wipe the blood.

'' these are deep cuts, where's the kitchen? And do you have first aid ? I should clean them first though'' her eyes met his, Aaron's were emotionless he didn't even flinch when she stroke the gash. He didn't answer her yet, he just kept watching her closely. Then everything click in his mind, she's not that innocent as he thinks, she's just manipulating him to not hurt her.

'' leave me alone'' he harshly pushes her hand away and tights his grip on her shoulders. ''don't fool me that you care about me'' he spat.

'' you're just here because I couldn't let your sorry a** lying motionless on the school back yard. And believe me I'd have killed you if I want, so don't push me'' he shouted. Grabbing her upper arm he shove Anna aside, sending her on her knees. '' come I'll drive you back''

What the hell is wrong with this man! She wanted to shout as her knees sting.

the drive back to school was quiet, you could only hear him breathing heavily and his hands was white from how firm his grip on the steering wheel. But Anna was silently crying from the stinging pain on her knees from his shove. Arriving at school his eyes still on the road,

'' get out and stay the hell out of my way'' Aaron growled.

Anna couldn't understand him for once, he was screaming danger but something towards him pulling her to comfort him. Now she couldn't understand herself too!

'' I'm I - thanks '' said Anna.

''just get out'' Aaron barked.
