We left early that morning,I had no chance to say goodbye to Vaas or Lamar,so I wrote a letter to them.

Dear Lamar and Vaas,

Sorry that I had to leave without telling you but I have gone AWOL with someone I met online,don't worry,she will treat me okay.

Her name is Iris by the way,Isis's older sister.

P.S Jason will no longer be a threat to me or you guys,I promise.

Kindest regards,

Amanda

I personally would've written something much better but Jason told me to write those exact words,really?Me going AWOL with someone I met online?Wow!I don't think that they will possibly believe that because they know me better than anyone would.

                        ***
Yeah,aaha,you know what it is!Black and yellow,black and yellow,black and yellow,black and yellow.

I rolled my eyes at the lyrics of the song.Jason was super concentrated on the road,I have never seen this side of him,except of course when we did the heist.

"Jason,can I ask something?" I asked as I turned the music off.

"Yeah sure,shoot." He replied,half smiling.

"Why did you kill my best friend?" I asked,refusing the urge to cry.

"Citra made me do it.She said it will be the only way for Eliza to come back to life but had she made it happen?No,she didn't.Instead,she gave me more missions,kill Grant,cause your accident,not the motorcycle one,rape you and the mission I want to do,and it's not one from Citra's,I want to win your heart." Jason said,tears were forming in his eyes.

"I'll do it." I said as a tear escaped.

"Do what?" He asked,stopping the car to let a deer pass,then he continued.I swallowed before I could talk again.

"I'll be your one and only." I replied,facing him.I meant it though,he has been through a lot.I didn't want to kiss him,but he looked like he needed it,but I didn't because he was driving.

"Thank you Amanda,it really does mean a lot." He smiled at me.

It's the least I can do Jason after the hell you made me go through.

I thought but I didn't say it out loud,I'll never say that outloud.My phone buzzed.A message from Vaas and Lamar.

Vaas: What do you mean by this      letter of  yours?Call me when you get this,please.

Lamar: My boy Franklin said you broke up with him,what up Amanda girl,talk to me.

Before I could reply to Lamar's message,my phone buzzed again.I had to drop my phone when I saw who the message was from,I gasped and slowly faced Jason.He stopped the car immediately and took my phone in his hands,my eyes were wide with both shock and fear.Jason's own eyes became wide.He too was shocked,he locked the doors of the vehicle he was driving and pulled me closer.I laid my head on his chest,I could hear his heart thumping loudly and fastly,I don't blame him or his heart,I too fear what is written in the message.

I'm coming. You'll need all the protection you have. 😘 😘
-Isis

My heart thumped loudly and violent.She is coming,how is that even possible?She is supposed to be dead.

"Jason." I softly said,he hummed in response. "Please don't let Isis take you away from me." I truthfully said.

"I won't." He said before kissing me on my forehead.I looked up and kissed him,I held the side of his face and he entangled his hand in my hair.I continued to kiss him,it felt amazing,until we heard a loud thud outside the car.We both shrieked and I moved closer to Jason.

"I know you guys are in there.And I thought you said my brother was creepy!" Riley's voice said.I sighed a breath of relief.Jason unlocked the doors and Riley came in.My cheeks burnt from embarrassment.

"What on earth are you doing here?" Jason asked,half pissed off,that I could see very well.

"What's important is that I'm here." Riley smirked.My phone buzzed again.

Three's a crowd don't ya think? 😘
-Isis

My phone almost slipped out of my hands again.We need to get Riley to safety.I showed Jason the message and he tensed up.He looked at Riley,who was currently playing a game on his phone.

"We need to get him to safety,Isis knows our every move,which is not good." Jason whispered to me.

"How'd it happen?" Riley asked us.

"What?" I asked him back.

"This?" He waved his hand to us.

He killed my best friend,tried to rape me,told me to end things with Franklin,caused my accident,and won my heart!

It's what I wanted to say but I didn't.

"I guess he isn't so creepy when you get to know him." I replied,smiling at Jason.He started the car again and drove out of the woods.

"Riley,I'm sorry but we have to leave you at Citra." Jason said,facing the road.

"Why?" He asked as he looked up from his phone.

"My dead best friend is haunting us and told me that we need to get rid of you."

"Get rid of me?!"

"Shut up." Jason shushed him and continued to drive.

                           ***
We caught a flight going to Los Santos,Riley came with us.Jason took him with,knowing the risk we were taking.On the flight,I felt a bit sleepy,so I closed my eyes and let the darkness take over.

                          ***
A loud,ear bleeding laughter echoed in the darkness,this caused me to awake.I was on the floor,with Riley close by.

"I told ya three's a crowd." Isis's voice echoed in the darkness.I crawled over to Riley and shook him,he didn't wake up.

"Riley?!" I cried out.Blood flowed out of his chest.I clutched it and tried to stop it but his heart was still.

"You are next." Her voice sent daggers through my heart.Suddenly everything went black.

                           ***
I screamed when I awoke.Sweat was dripping off my forehead,my pajamas were wet with sweat and I was crying.The light went on,Jason sat up straight.He knew what was wrong,he didn't have to ask me.He wrapped his arms around me and laid my head on his broad chest.I cried into his chest,and he gently stroked my hair.

"I should have done it like I planned to do three years ago." I whispered to Jason.

"Done what?" He asked me,still stroking my hair.

"I should've killed myself Jason.None of this wouldn't have happened,if Franklin hadn't stopped me,you guys wouldn't be living like animals.It's all my fault." I cried some more.He pulled me closer.

"It's not your fault.If you wish to blame someone,blame Citra." He whispered to me.I wiped off the tears and hugged Jason back.

"Goodnight Jason."

"Night Amanda."

                         ***
A sweet aroma waltzed in the air,and did the tango on my nose.A salty,yet tasty smelling aroma followed,doing the cha-cha.I yawned as I turned over to grab my phone to check the time.06:56 a.m.

"Morning,I made breakfast." Riley said as he brought the plate of food closer.I sat up straight.

"Morning Riley,you can take them downstairs.I want to go and freshen up,be there in a jiff." I smiled at him.He nodded and went out the door.I took my gyming gear and headed for the shower.
