Song of the chapter: I want to break free- Queen

"Let's play 20 questions." Jonah suggests.

"What?"

He sighs. "So basically, I can ask you any 20 questions I want, and you have to answer them. Same goes for you."

"Okay? How old are you?" I ask.

"20. You?" Okay.

"17. What type of music do you listen to?"

"Rock. Tom Petty, Queen. Stuff like that, you know?" I nod as he tells me. "Why do you have so many tattoos?"

"I love the art of it and you shouldn't be talking." I tease. "How many tattoos do you have anyway? I have thirteen so far."

"I have a total of 54. I think." My eyes widen in shock. "But I am also 20, you are only 17. I know you said you would tell me about this later, but who is this 'him' you keep referring to? I am dying of curiosity over here." Jonah exaggerated.

"Well, since you are just going to keep pestering me about it and I have to live with you, I guess I should tell you." I pause. "But you have to promise me that you won't go around feeling sorry for me." He puts one hand over his heart and the other one raised up in the air.

"I promise." He agrees solemnly. So I start explaining my tragic life story.

"When I was in the third grade, my mom passed away in a car accident. After that my dad became an alcoholic and started abusing me, physically, sexually, verbally, and emotionally. Apparently, it was my fault. The only person who knows about it is Zach. Well, I guess you do too now. There's more, but I don't want to go into detail." I sigh.

"Wow. I know I promised not to feel bad, but I am human, and I have emotions. That is just terrible. At least you have Zach though."

"Not anymore." I breathe out.

"What was that?" Jonah asked me. I shake my head signaling to him that it was nothing.

"What is your zodiac sign?" By the look Jonah gives me I can tell he has no idea what I am talking about. I giggle. Wait, what?! What is happening to me?! I never giggle. I only do that when...oh no. This can't happen! I can't fall for him! He's my kidnapper! "When were you born?"

"June 16th." I start to laugh. "What? Why are you laughing?"

"You are a Gemini. Everything makes so much sense now." I reply calming down from my laughing fit.

"What do you mean?" I start to explain all of the character traits of a Gemini.

"Gemini have double personalities. Are headstrong, quick tempered, passionate, manipulative, honest, possessive, dominate, mysterious, funny, adventurous, and dirty minded. Perverted?" I look at him with my eyebrow raised and he just smiles innocently. "How many of these are true?"

"All of them..." He says looking down and blushing. I laugh. That's nice to know, I guess.

"Why did you take me if you have all of this stuff?" I ask, breaking the silence.

"I just get kind of lonely, I guess. I don't really know."

"But why did you choose me? Out of all people in the world? Me." I obviously hit a nerve, because Jonah's nostrils started to flare, and he immediately started to yell at me.

"I JUST DID! OKAY?! I don't know why! I just did. Leave." He calmed down.

"What?" I ask.

"Leave me alone! Go upstairs! Do something! Just leave me the fuck alone!" He screamed at me.
