song of the chapter: vow by TENDER

Jack made much of the dubiety Laura was in. He gave in a little chuckle. She hated that.

 He took the chance to explain. As she stuttered,

"What? She escaped? What kind kind of- Eh. what-" she stumbled upon her words, rambling and he stopped her from speaking. "Let me talk."

She was silent. All you could hear was the spring like winds blowing in the air, and the clutter of junk around the enormous yard in response to the wind.

"At last." he spoke within the silent air. (not so silent now)

"She escaped, yes. With the little help of god knows who. All I know is that she came bursting in my apartment in her orange prison uniform all filthy and gross-- had the audacity to grab me with her grubby hands, and call me 'son'." he was talking as if it were the most traumatizing incident in his life, but in a sarcastic manner. Frankly enough, Laura was not impressed.

"Proceed."

"Anyway, she wants us to help. You know, to help put that sicko whos apparently keeping you alive in prison for good. Its been 9 fucking years, as I quote, she's been planning this for so long. His actual death. Every last detail." the thought filled his aching soul with excitement.

Laura gulped. "Where is she now?"

"That's the fun part. I was hoping you'd ask." she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as his filled with anticipation, he was grinning triumphantly.

"Come out, mother."

Ross checked his watch. 5 AM. He was losing track of time. Its been 2 hours already since Laura's been gone. God where is she.

"You seem to care a lot about this person..." she began to pry. Ross could see right where this was going. "Yeah whats it to you?" he grumbled. She laughed.

"Why do you care about this person so much? What have they done for you?" his eyes widened and he immediately stopped in his tracks. She did the same. "Whats wrong?"

Those two questions. Were all too familiar. 

"Lets..... just keep moving..." he gulped nothing at all, his throat was dry. Suddenly a voice was heard, and he looked up at a man at a slight distance. "Hey! Whats a lad like you walking around at this time? Kids like you should be in bed sleeping." the man walked closer, and he seemed to be in a baker outfit. He worked at the bakery he supposed.

He seemed to not be around here either, noticing the accent. Ross quickly stuttered out a response. "Uhh... No Umm, were just looking.. for someone.. " 

The baker laughed at him. Why is he laughing at me? 

"Who?"

Ross looked at him in confusion. Ella quickly clutched onto his arm, "Lets go Ross." and she dashed out of the conversation they  we're having. He was now having a strange feeling when he looked at her.

Like...

"Come on, we're really close Ross, its right over there." she continued to tug him with her as then jogged. Suddenly, a struck of realization came upon him. He stopped running, causing her to stumble in her tracks.

"How the fuck do you know my name. As I recall, I didn't even shed a word about who I am to you other than who i'm looking for. What the hell-"

"Ross I.." she looked around unsteadily. They we're a few feet away from the junkyard.

"I'm running out of time." she breathed out, struggling to make eye contact with him.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" he yells at her. 

"I'm nobody." she responds. What?

He couldn't find the words. "What do you mean you are nobody? Aren't we all just nobodies-"

"I'm not here. I'm in your mind. I'm only a part of your imagination."

Like.. if she wasn't real.

And with that, she disappeared in front of  his eyes.
