Escape

Chapter8

**REWIND**

"I think I'm falling in love with you Lacie."

**THE NEXT DAY**

My head was pounding, and it was hard to think. I hadn't slept well last night, after the soft spoken words that came out of Aaron's mouth.

Honestly, I wasn't sure how to reply to that. I loved Aaron, although I had only met him a week or so ago. I loved him, but I didn't think I was in love with him.

I thought.

I kept thinking.

Until my head hurt even more.

My head told me to stop thinking about if I am in love with him or not, but my heart told me to keep searching in my soul because I wanted to love him.

I needed to love him. My heart needed someone as pure as him.

I finally convinced my mind that I was in love with him. And it made me feel way better, because the truth is that maybe I was in love with him but I never had a reason to find out.

Once I was done stressing about Aaron, it was time to stress about my parents.

That must be where they were this whole time instead of being with their daughter. I probably take after them because they whole reason I met Aaron in the first place is because I was caught stealing. But what did they steal?

I reminded myself that I didn't care. Whatever they wanted to do was none of my business, I just wish I wasn't related to people like that. But I can only thank them for having this influence on me, because without that, I would have never thought to steal something, I would have never had to come to the jail, and I would never had met Aaron.

Meeting Aaron has changed my life for the better after years of depression and suicidal thoughts. My parents were cruel and abandoned me. I was bullied at school because all the boys thought I was pretty and the girls were jealous.

Aaron has made me feel good about myself for the first time in a while. I never used to smile or laugh, and now I catch myself smiling just hearing his name or thinking about him. It really must be love. There no other logical explanations for the dramatic change in directions my life has taken.

What the heck.

My thoughts have turned into Jenna Hamilton from Awkward.

I laugh and roll my eyes. I can't believe I was thinking those things because it sounded just like my favorite tv show.

I decided to change because it was 7:00 am and I needed to get ready for meeting Aaron. I wanted to look nice so I put some make up on, not a lot but a perfect amount.

I was defiantly nervous to see Aaron because of his words last time. I debated even going, but then I remembered it wasn't supposed to be fun, but Aaron made it.

"Hey beautiful" Aaron spoke gently as I walked up to his cell. He looked so nice today, I smiled and replied with a quiet "hey" back. He smushed his face between the bars and laugh, and I couldn't help but let a chuckle slip out as we got dirty looks and glares from other prisoners.

"Let's get down to business." His face turned serious after our 'special moment'.

"About what?" I asked. I had the slightest idea... His escape plan, but I really didn't want to help him escape. I loved him, but I couldn't be even more of a criminal than I am, even though he is innocent. I didn't like the thought of me.. What am I talking about. I will do anything and everything for him. And I know he would do the same for me.

"The escape." He whispered.

I knew it.

"I have a plan." I smirked and so did he, it was contagious.
