Psycho But Not Really

p s y c h o - 35

"alright, we're ready to take off", I heard muffled voices, I tossed and turned in my slumber, when I felt somebody's chest, I quickly sat up and my eyes widened.

"What the fuck!" I screamed, I was in a plane, with several men, including Lenny, Nate and Marcl, they all had guns and knives of, Melanie was just casually feeding Manny, "Thea, we're going to live in California from now on... it's too dangerous in New York, we have malcoms men on our tails" Lenny explained.

I didn't notice Nate beside me, "So what? You're just going to expect me to leave everything behind, just like that?" I snapped my fingers. Everyone went silent, "Thea, stop acting stubborn, if we still stayed in New York we all would've been dead" Nate sighed, and looked at me.

"Fine, and it's Althea for you" I coldly said, and got up to go to the bathroom. Walking down the aisle of the plane, I got many stares, death stares, and winks, I ignored them and locked myself in the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror, I sighed, and washed my face.

As I brought my face up to see myself, I could've sworn I saw my mother standing behind me smiling, I turned around and just saw the wall, I shook the creepy feeling off, and walked out.

I walked back to my seat, where Nate was still beside me, I didn't want to talk to anyone, I didn't even care that Nate was sitting next to me, I just had to accept the fact that I had to leave everything behind me.

Snuggling up beside the seat, I looked out the window, we were still on land but we were about to take off, I suddenly thought about how I got here? Did someone carry me?

I turned to Nate, and opened my mouth, but shut it, I didn't want to speak to him.

Nate sighed and opened the book he was reading, "Yea, I carried you here, you're so light" he said, and continued to read, I could feel my cheeks burn, and heard Nate chuckle. For just a slight second, I felt the same happiness Nate and I felt when we had our moments, but it quickly went away, when I saw Marcl looking at me. He smiled and gestured if I was okay, I nodded my head, and fell asleep.

~~~

Let me tell you now.

That, that was the worst plane ride in my entire life, I had to make over twenty bathroom trips to vomit, not even Manny could beat me. What's important is that, we landed safely, and soundly without any disasters.

Once we landed, two black SUV's was waiting for us outside, I slowly got out of the plane, letting the humid air hit my skin, I missed New York's weather, a lot. I met up with everyone, who were discussing about who would get in each car.

"So, Melanie, Marcl and I are going first, Thea are you okay riding with Nate?" Lenny asked, I looked at Nate, and sighed, "Sure", was all I managed to say. We all separated into our assigned cars, I waited for Nate to come in with the driver, he was talking to him, I stared at him from the window, I thanked the heavens that he didn't see me and the windows were tinted.

"Ready?" Nate said as he got into the car, I nodded and the car went on drive. We drove really far out into the country, I bet this place was in the middle of nowhere, I turned to Nate who was reading his book, "Nate..." I gently said.

He turned his full attention towards me, "You know when you said my mother was transported to another hospital.." I said, but Nate interrupted me, "Thea, I'm sorry that I brought your mother up in a rude manner, it's not like me" he said, and looked at me. I raised my eyebrows, "It's not that, I just wanted to know if you know which hospital she went to.." I looked down.

Nate lightly lifted my chin, and smiled, "I have my men trying to find where she is" he said. Nate was still holding my chin, the driver only paying attention to the road, I breathed in deeply, and we both leaned in.

Inching closer and closer...

Our lips so close, yet so far from kissing...

Then...

I turned my gaze to the window, and Lenny's face was crushed to the screen, he was smiling, and trying to find out what we were doing, "Argh" Nate groaned, and looked back at me, "Sorry, I-I..." I stuttered then gave up.

It looked like we were at the location, I got out of the car, and Lenny came to my side, "Were you guys kissing?" He sounded like a teenage girl trying to gossip, I rolled my eyes and elbowed him in the stomach, "I need an answer!" He whined as he clutched his stomach.

I looked up at the big house, a villa.

A fucking villa. I curse you rich people. Especially Nate and Lenny, I don't know where they get this money, but it better be a safe place. Melanie grabbed onto my hand and dragged me in, I don't even need to describe the house. It was beautiful.

Melanie dragged me to a beautiful room, I assumed was mine, we settled in our rooms and unpacked our clothes, which I still don't have, Melanie said she ordered me some clothes, and they should be here in a week.

I decided to roam around a little, I checked out the rooms next to mine, besides the one on my left, it had a dark aura. I slowly walked in, and I immediately saw black, the room was so dark, pictures of a couple and a young boy and a very little girl. I caressed the photos and things that were in this room. "What are you doing in here..." Nate's voice came, and I jumped a little, I felt his chest on my back.

I turned around, my lips were already shaking, "I-I was just checking out all the rooms.." I said, and looked down. Nate caressed my cheek, "are you scared of me?" He asked, I quietly gasped, and gulped. "No" I said, Nate deeply chuckled, "let me ask you again", there was a pause, "are..you..scared of me" his voice held hatred, I looked up at him, "y-yes" I stuttered, Nate chuckled, "Don't be.." he leaned over.

No no no, this can't happen again
