Words To Die By(All Time Low)

Chapter 4~ The Deal

I looked at the clock on the wall, after calming down from that weird dream, and see that it is six. I decide to take a shower since I know it will take an hour at least. While in the shower I let my imagination run wild and picture how this date could go. 

This first of two options is best. The date can go off without a hitch and I can return home only mildly embarrassed because of Rian and Zack. 

The second option is that the date goes horribly and we have nothing to talk about sober. And Rian and Zack bring up every embarrassing moment of my past and I never get to see him again.

I never thought about the third option, the option that I get. The enjoyable to a point option.

~*~*~*~

When it was exactly 7:59pm I went across the hall and when the clock turned eight I knocked twice at Jack's door before panicking because I never texted him the details. What if he isn't ready? What if he had thought I had second thoughts? What if he had second thoughts? These thoughts keep racing in my mind until thirty seconds later when he walked out looking a handsome as humanly possible. 

"I'm sorry I didn't text you, but it seems like you got the memo anyway. " I say raising an eyebrow.

"I realized how late it was getting so I assumed we were going at eight because that's normal, and I knew you were tried and probably feel asleep so..." He responds with a nervous chuckle.

"You know so well already." I wink lighting up the slightly tense mood. We laugh and call an Uber to take us to the Owl Bar so we can meet up wit Rian and Zack.

~*~*~*~

  "Welcome gentlemen to an evening of fun and memories that are just waiting to be made. One rule though per request of the coordinator: there will be no drinking tonight." Zack says, a smile that reaches his eyes on his face.

"I can't handle seeing another drop of alcohol today. I served so many 'Sex on the Beach' cocktails that I never want to have sex there!" He sighs. We laugh at his dramatics and make our way to his car.

"So where are we going?" I ask.

"We're going to the amusement park!" He says excitedly. We all nod and head to his car excited for the night ahead. 

~*~*~*~ 

When we got to the park the whole thing was brightly lit up against the navy sky. Immediately I pulled Jack to the Tilt-A-Whirl. 

"Isn't this a little mild?" He asked a Rian and Zack joined us in line.

"Maybe. Or maybe you will be eating those words." I replied cheekily with a smirk. When the ride started I was right. This particular ride went faster than this kinda ride usually would, plus the g-force was extreme. I was smiling and laughing the whole time while I was stuck to the edge.

"Well I was wrong."  Is what I heard when we got off the ride.

"Told you" I said while winking. We laughed. "So where to next?"

"The roller coaster?" We all agreed and got in line. Afterwards we went to the tower of doom thing, hammer, swings, etc. After we left the amusement park is when everything went to shit.

"Thanks Ri for setting things up. I'll see you tomorrow." The last words of the night that I don't regret saying or hearing. With that they drove away, and Jack and I went up to my apartment, where he took the lead into the bedroom.

It didn't get farther than him taking off my jacket before I was pinned up against the wall, and not in the way I want.

"Wha-what are you doing?" I choke out as his grip is now around my neck.

"I want to make a deal, see I work for some bad people, yet I like you so what do ya say?"

"Who ar-are you?" I tried to ignore his words.

"Let's just call me a hitman, or something. But are you willing to make a deal?"

"N-" He bangs my head against the wall. Once. Twice. "Yes."

"I thought you would see it my way. Okay so here's what you need to do, if I don't kill the target I have to kill three people instead, but I don't feel like it, so you'll do it. I pick the targets and you shoot when I say." I start to shake my head frantically but he just slams my head again. So I just nod. 

"Good. Goodnight." And like that I'm unconscious.
