The door slammed shut...

"How pathetic!" I muttered to myself. I looked around with my eyes for a few minutes but began to get bored just sitting there so I decided to take this time to explore his death chamber.

I made my way down the stairs leading to the basement entering the room flicking the light switch on. My eyes scanned the room but I was taken back when I spotted what was on the floor.

"Lana!?" I rushed over to the poor girl attempting to shake her awake. Her hands and legs were chained to the floor. I noticed the body beside her, Wendy I think her name was.

I knew she was dead. I remembered from the show. The important thing was to wake Lana up and get out of this place before the man himself got back.

"Lana it's Aiden get up now!" I shouted. No one could hear me from down here anyway, Thredson made sure of that.

Her eyes opened, a huge sigh left my lips, thank god she was alive. "Where are the keys?" I asked slightly panicked, he would be back any minute now, yet I had to stay calm. "What?" She finally answered. "We need to get out of here I need to know where the keys are Lana. Think!" I shook her once more. "Over there." she motioned to her head towards a long cabinet.

Whilst searching, I'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat when I heard the loud slam from upstairs. I knew it was the front door and I knew we were running out of time! I basically threw everything off the cabinet before I found what I was looking for.

Time was of the essence as I rushed over to Lana beginning to set her free, my palms were sweating like crazy, causing me to drop the keys multiple times. Loud Footsteps began to echo the room.

He was coming...

I finally set her free with only a second to spare turning around to see him standing there, Lana slightly behind me.

"I knew it! I knew you'd leave me!" The man spoke.

You couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

I didn't answer, I just looked a Lana mouthing a 'quick' to her. We both ran towards him full speed forcing him to the floor then scrambling up the stairs. Our breathing was heavy, we were small women so it took a lot to shove him over, and then run up a flight of stairs.

Once again the footsteps were back but harsher and full of anger. I swung his cocktail cabinet open and pulled out the pistol that was kept there during the show. Again... I remembered.

God, I hope it's loaded.

I then swung back around pointing it at the man that had just entered. His hands flew up in surrender like manner. "Woah" he took a step back, making me take a step forward. "I see you found my gun.," he spoke trying to sound confident although his eyes said otherwise. "Yeah, and I won't hesitate to use it."

I answered raising an eyebrow confidently.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He put his hands down, walking forward with a chuckle. "Try me!" I spoke taking another step forward trying to intimate him.

"Aiden.." I heard Lana speak from behind me. "No," I said answering her and then turning my attention back to Thredson.

"What makes you think I'm going to listen to you!? Your just a halfhearted man with mommy issues." I raised my eyebrows, him taking a step forward.

"What?" He asked in confusion and upset. "Look, it's not our fault you mum left you. It's no one's fault, In fact, you should be thankful because if she saw that you turned out like this she'd be disappointed anyway." His face was a mix of horror and upset."

"So I suggest you grow up Oliver."

I took a deep breath.

His face raged with anger, he clenched his fist and jaw gritting out a "How did you know all that!?" He began to pace towards me, so I adjusted my grip to the gun, him standing still in response.

I opened my mouth and spoke.

"Because I watched you on TV bitch!"

I pointed the gun to his thigh and shot with no hesitation causing him to yelp in pain. I motioned Lana out and began to follow her before I was called back, by a very sorry looking Oliver thredson.

"But you love me Aiden?.." It was more of a desperate question than a statement.

"How could I ever love you... If I'm in love with someone else."

I answered chucking the gun on his couch, swiping his car keys off the side and turning around to exit but coming face to face with Lana smirking.

-----------
"How could I ever love you... If I'm in love with someone else."

That one line rang in my head the whole car journey, I don't know if it was my head playing tricks on me or the fact that Lana actually sat next to me repeating it. "Okay, I get it" I spoke, and she giggled from beside me.

I knew that I was in love with someone. I actually can't believe that I finally admitted it, but I couldn't be in love it didn't work like that.

"Aiden... Aiden... KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD!!" Lana screamed from beside me I was too focused on my thoughts to look at the road.

My life flashed in front of my eyes, once again and I couldn't do a thing to stop it.

DARKNESS.

-------------

I was awoken with a hand in mine, thumb stroking my knuckle. I fluttered my eyelids open to him. I smiled and I reached out caressing kits face wiping the single tear that was under his eyes causing him to jump.

"Aiden!" He smiled. "You weren't waking up and I was scared you never would." I sat up dangling my legs off the bed opposite him. "And why's that?" I asked placing both my hands in his.

I couldn't help it. I had already admitted it to
Lana and thredson it was time to tell him, and him from him to tell me. I was going to let him this time, no cutting him off.

"Because I Love You, Aiden Pines."

He took a deep breath after, you could see on his face he was nervous, but It was cute really.

I squeezed his hands in response.

"I Love You to Kit Walker."

He smiled in at me, and even in a dark room like this, his smile brightened it up. It was hard for me to admit but I couldn't help but feel good.

I pulled his head in connecting our lips together it was a small kiss but even then he made my heart skip a beat, And that's when I decided, I had to get out of here, but not on my own.

With Kit...

Although, something had to be done first.
