28: Love of the Chase

IMPORTANT AT BOTTOM!!!!

RILEY'S POV

I just CAN'T BELIEVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! He thinks just cause it's October and all that he can just do this to me! Yell at me, kidnap me, threaten me, treat me like a piece of property, I mean come on now. He should have figured out by now that I can't and WON'T be controlled. I am my own person and I will do what I want to do. I'm starting to regret ever revealing myself to him.

I have to get back to my family. Yeah but if I successfully escape, my house will be the first place he is going to look. So either I go home and put my family in danger, escape and never see them again, or never see them again and stay with this weirdo. Hmm.... I really don't want to put my family in danger so the first option is out. I don't want to stay here but if I escape, will Jonathan and/or River use my family as bait to get me back. I don't know what to do!

Well it's already like 10pm so I might as well go to bed. I can always decide and/or escape tomorrow night.

JONATHAN'S POV

I wake up this morning with a new sense of determination. I have to make sure Riley falls in love with me. I can't continue on with life, knowing she is constantly unhappy. I take a quick shower and get dressed in a pair of black basketball shorts and a white t-shirt. I go bare-foot since this is my house and being bare-foot is more natural. It also helps me sense the vibrates in the ground a bit easier.

I run downstairs and it is only 7:30am. I have plenty of time to set up my first step to get Riley back. First, I have to make her breakfast in bed. I mean who doesn't like breakfast in bed?

I get out all the ingredients for chocolate chip pancakes and I begin making them.

RILEY'S POV

I wake up to the most delicious smell ever.....said no one EVER!!!!

It was terrible and I can hear the smoke alarm going off. Oh god! I quickly rush downstairs and I'm immediately met with a wall of smoke. What happened!?!?!?! I walk through the smoke, knowing that I can't die, to investigate. I finally pass the initial wall of smoke to see Jonathan cussing his head off and fanning the stove area. I grab a stool to stand on, and disarm the alarm and that's when Jonathan finally takes notice of my presence.

"Um....Hey?" Jonathan says but it sounds like a question.

"What happened in here? It smells like something got burned!" I ask, trying to be calm.

"Well you see...um...I was trying to make chocolate chip pancakes for you, for breakfast in bed, but I will say that I am in no way a cook." Jonathan responds while rubbing the back of his, clearly embarrassed. I giggle a little bit at his embarrassed state. He looks up at me with love in his features.

"Why would you be making me breakfast in bed?" I ask inquisitively.

"I was trying to make it up to you, you know....for being an ass yesterday." Jonathan answers.

"Well first, don't cuss, it's rude and bad. And second, thank you." I say. I'm not really sure why I'm thanking him but I just did and I guess it was for actually trying.

"Why are you thanking me?" Jonathan asks.

"Well I guess it's because you're actually trying to make it up to me, instead of being even more of a butt. Now let's try to make those pancakes again." I respond.

25 Minutes Later

I finally finish making pancakes and the entire time Jonathan is just absorbing everything I'm telling him and watching me like a hawk.
