Saved || Jesse Rutherford ||

Night

He laid a sweet kiss at the crook of my neck "That's why I saved you", he mumbled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His soft lips on my neck sparked something inside of me...The feeling so foreign. My mind screamed for me to run..Warmed me of the forlorn danger that surrounds this man...But I couldn't. My body desired more..I pushed every lingering thought to the back of my mind...

"He did say he saved you..", My mind added, trying to justify my actions...

"Saved...Saved..", my mind repeated.

Suddenly, my eyes snapped open.. "S-saved me from what?", I asked him, fearful of the answer.

Jesse hesitated for a second...He pulled away from me, adding some distance between us.He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "I don't know why I said that...", he mumbled.

And with those words, reality came hurdling at me..I crashed from my high. This man was a killer...A cold-blooded killer. I should be calling for help. He could harm me and more importantly, harm Kevin.

"What are you thinking?", he whispered. I looked at him, unaware that he had been staring at me the entire time.

I debated whether I should tell him or just keep my thoughts to myself...Psychopaths are known to be mentally unstable and the slightest thing could trigger him...

Finally, I came to the conclusion that he was reasonable enough and that if he wanted to kill me, he would have done so by now.

"That I should be calling the cops right now.." Jesse froze.. His features hardened and his eyes became darker...

"Looks like you made the wrong decision...", my mind added..I prepared myself for the worse....

Without warning, Jesse started laughing.

I flinched at unexpectedness of it all...

He noticed and approached me again.. "Why do keep doing that, love?", he said cupping my cheek.

My breath, quickened along with my heart. My head started spinning, to the seemingly lack of oxygen that I receive when he's close..

"He's a killer..", my conscious added. I listened to her and grabbed his wrist and lowered his hand from my cheek...

He seemed hurt by my rejection.

"Psychopaths are able to disguise their emotions..", my mind added again.

He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of nearby footsteps.

"Ava?", said a child's voice.

"Kevin? I'm in here", I replied.

Kevin came into view and I walked to him. "I thought I said stay inside, Kev..."

He lowered his head,"I was worried..You were out long and I didn't want you to get hurt."

I sighed and kneeled down to him.."It's okay, but next time listen my instructions okay?"

He nodded and smiled.. His cheeky smile suddenly dissappeared as he glanced behind me.

His mouth opened slightly, out of utter shock and he started tugging on my shirt.

I looked behind me and saw Jesse standing there awkwardly.

I turned back to Kevin, "Yeah..Kevin, this is.."

"Jesse..", he completed.
