Escape

Chapter5

I stared at Grace's back as she walked away.

Aaron is innocent... If he wasn't, why would he lie to me? He seemed so trustworthy but he is in a prison.

I couldn't concentrate on anything the whole ride home from the jail.

"Are you okay Lacie?" Asked Katherine.

I wasn't.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just tired that's all."

I lied.

The trees whipped passed me as we drove by. I was so confused.

Aaron wouldn't lie to me.

But I has just met him... I didn't know what to do.

I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, a hand was shaking me back and forth.

"Lacie... We are home." whispered Katherine.

Ugg.

I moaned and grabbed my things. I dizzily walked out of the car and up my front porch steps.

Thankfully I was home and could fall asleep in my own bed.

I walked through the door and heard a very familiar voice... Cassandra Cactusi

"Heyyyyyy Lacie!! How was your day in jail? Just kidding, you know what I mean hun."

Cassandra had been my best friend since third grade, and pretty much my only friend.

I love Cassandra so much and she's as always there for me. I told her about how nasty it was and everyone I met.

My main topic was Aaron.

"He seems so dreamy." She kept saying that over and over.

I agreed with her.. He was sooo dreamy.

"Did you guys talk about lacrosse?" She asked

"Yeah... And a lot of other things too."

"Like what?"

Should I tell her that he wants me to help him escape? I just met Aaron yet it seems like I've known him forever.

I shouldn't- he said that he trusts me.

But his cousin says he's lying--- is that even his cousin?

Questions whirled through my mind and I was lost in a daydream.

"LACIE!!!!" Shouted Cassandra.

"No need to yell Cass..." I reply, obviously annoyed and holding my ear because it ached.

"No need to yell? Lace-"

"What." I said stubbornly. It was easy to get mad at your best friend because you love them the most, and you know they will forgive you.

"Do you even know what you just said Lacie?? You kept saying it over and over again. I tried to get you out of it but you wouldn't- or couldn't. I don't know. I'm sorry for yelling but I was so scared."

Oh my god.

Did I just tell her what I thought I did?

Did I just tell her me and Aaron's plan?

"Wha- what did I say?"

Sweat dripped down my forehead.

I said a quick prayer and hoped that I didn't say that.

Please.

I couldn't have.

Again, my brain was aching for about the hundredth time today.

Ugg.

I knew I had ruined everything like I always do.

I know I shouldn't be beating myself up about some guy I barley knew, but I couldn't help it.

He seemed so opening and comforting.

"Lace... You just said it again while in thought."

"What did I say Cassandra?"

I was worried.

"You said that you were in love with Aaron."
