More Lies Than The Truth

Chapter Five: How long has it been?

BENS POV
I woke up in the back seat of a truck and I felt something wet on my head. My hands were zip tied together so I brought them both up to feel what it was. Touching it stung, and I looked at my fingers to see blood. How did I get here? Where am I? What's going on?" I jumped when the front door opened and a scary looking dude got in the front seat.
"Good you're awake." His voice was musty sounding.
"Who are you?" I asked. "We already had this conversation." He replied. "How'd I get here? Why am I bleeding and why are my hands tied? Do you work for Trevor? Oh god you do don't you. Please don't kill me! I didn't mean to cross Trevor...it's not my fault!"
"SHUT UP! What the hell are you talking about?" He asked starting the truck. "Wait you don't work for Trevor?" I was throughly confused on everything that was happening. "I don't know anyone named Trevor. We came from the police station, remember?" He started driving now. Police station?
"No...I was just swimming with my girlfriend when Trevor hit me in the head with- a bat- I think." Everything was a little foggy, but that was the last thing I remembered happening.
"What are you on kid? I just kidnapped you from the police station and you wouldn't stop crying to I hit you in the head with this gun. You were out for almost a day, I was worried I killed you for a while." He chuckled.
That's when my chest started to hurt. "Wha-wha- no...you're wrong." He slammed on the breaks and turned to me with the gun. "YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?"
"NOPE."
He put the gun down and said, "I ditched the cop car and hot wired this truck so they can't track me. I don't need you anymore so you can leave. Thanks for your help though." He unlocked the doors. "You're welcome? And where are we?"
"Why? Anywhere you want to be?"
Actually there is.

AEROS POV

I'm never speaking to him again. He screwed up in my book for the last time. No Parker. No Ben. No Lila. Just me...
and Emilie.
I need a break from everything. Maybe I should move to France. Things were better there- My thoughts were interrupted by a pounding on the door.

BENS POV

"Thanks again!" I yelled as he sped away. Did I just say thank you to a supposed escaped convict? Yep.
I opened the main door to the women's dorms and found my way to her dorm. I went to knock on the door but when I touched it the door creaked open. "Hello?" I said pushing the door open further. There was definitely no one here. The furniture was gone and the carpet had been ripped up and thrown into corners of the space. "What happened here?" I whispered to myself. I shut the door behind me as I went back into the hallway. "Ben?" I heard as I was shutting the door. "Hey Parker have you seen Aero?"
"Not today...we aren't on the best of terms right now...what are you doing here?" He looked at the door. "It's weirdest thing...I came here looking for Aero but there's no one here!" I explained to him. He looked at me like I just spoke German. "Maybe you'll have better luck at her dorm."
"This is her dorm..." I replied.  "Bud you have head issues again? This is kind of getting old."
Excuse me? I think he's the one with head issues. "Okay fine! What's her "new" dorm?" I asked. "222." He pointed to the stairs.
"Thanks." I began going towards the stairs. "Wait..if they don't live there anymore, and you aren't talking to Aero, why are you here?"
He looked hard at the floor. "Don't you have something better to do than question me?"
"Whatever." I muttered and went up the stairs. I finally found room 222 and knocked on the door.
The door opened and behind it was Aero. "Ben?" She said sounding surprised. I rushed past her into the dorm and said, "The weirdest thing just happened to me!"
"Ben you can't be here. You need to leave." She said sternly avoiding my eyes. "What Why? I just got here! I need some help making sense of things." She came behind me and started pushing my towards the door. "Nope I don't want hear about your problems. I have problems of my own. Go vent to you girlfriend if you need to talk to someone...and don't tell her you came here first!" She yelled shutting the door in my face.
What just happened? What is she talking about? I thought she was my girlfriend?
"Ben? What are you doing here?!" I turned around to see Lila. "Oh thank god maybe you can help me!"
"You didn't answer my question!" She yelled at me. "I just came to talk to Aero and something weird is happening. When did you guys move up here?" I asked. Her face turned bright red and she asked "Why do you want to talk to Aero?" I'm getting no where with this.
"Because I thought that's what people did in a relationship-" "A RELATIONSHIPS?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? TO US! WHAT DOES SHE HAVE THAT I DON'T?"
She screamed in my face. "Lila calm down! I didn't think it would matter to you that much."
"YOU CANT EVEN GET THE RIGHT NAME!" She screamed right before slapped me across the face. "Wrong name? Do you go by something else now?" I said rubbing my cheek. "MY NAME IS AMY. A-M-Y. ITS NOT THAT HARD." She then walked away.
I don't know what's happening. I feel sick. I feel- dizzy.
"What- wha- happen-"
