Saved || Jesse Rutherford ||

Explanation

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

"Jesse..", he completed.

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

"Yeah..", I said biting my lip, unsure of how Kevin might react.

Jesse, not certain of what's to do next, approached Kevin and held out his hand.

Kevin, afraid, hid behind me. "It's okay", I coaxed, "He won't hurt you". I looked at Jesse for reassurance. He nodded and agreed.

Kevin began to approach him unsure. He stared at Jesse for a while and finally smiled.

"So you're a criminal? Are you going to jail? What did you do? Did you steal something? What are you doing here?", said Kevin, firing questions at him.

"Woah, slow down there grasshopper", said Jesse picking up Kevin in his arms. Kevin laughed uncontrollably.

I smiled. Once he put Kevin down, I said, "Kevin, maybe you should go inside..I'll be right up."

"Okay", he said looking at us both.

I watched him go inside and waited until the door closed. Then, I turned back to Jesse.

"Uhmm..I was wondering if you..you know wanted to come upstairs for dinner...I mean if you want to..You just seemed like...well not a psycho....", I said nervously, not knowing how to go about this.

Jesse smirked and said,"I would love to."

"That's great!", I said a little too excitedly. "I mean..Cool", I  responded, trying to play it off.

I stared at him for a while...Tattoos covered his body, giving him an edgy look. But from what he showed me tonight, he seemed...kind. He could have killed me and Kevin..He had every opportunity to. But instead, he comforted me and was pleasant to Kevin..Maybe I'm just being naive, but Jesse Rutherford does not seem like a criminal. He even said he could never hurt me....

"Are we going to eat down here, love?", he asked smiling, tilting his head a little.

"Oh no, of course not..I'm sorry, I just space out..", I said chuckling nervously.

"Does that happen often?", he asked, still holding a smile.

"Yeah..I guess so...It's just good being in your own head sometimes, you know.."

"I know exactly what you mean...Being one of the most wanted man in America, you don't necessarily have a lot of company", he said laughing, but I caught some sadness in his voice.

I smiled and decided to say nothing. I began walking and Jesse joined me. He walked right beside me. He was close enough that if I reached out, I could touch him..At one point, our hands brushed against each other and I felt waves of electricity flow in my body. I instinctly pulled my hand away.

"You felt that too?", he said smiling from ear-to-ear.

"Yeah...", I nodded, casting my eyes downward, while smiling to myself.

Once we got inside, I made my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and saw nothing but beer and a few condiments.

I slapped my forehead. "I forgot that there's no food!"

"Then we could just order takeout or something", Jesse offered.

I leaned on the fridge."I don't have money and my parents still aren't back yet..from wherever they've gone to..."

Jesse noticeably stiffened. "Do you know what happened to them?",he asked in a low voice.

"No..Do you?", I asked standing upright.
