Falling For A Murderer

Saviour

Skylar POV

Los Angeles was a hell of a lot different than Seattle. Sunnier, warmer, and a lot more beachy. I sighed as the bell rang and threw my stuff in my bag. "Hey Sky!" I heard someone call to me and turned around to see Sabrina running towards me with Kat and Lukas. "Hey guys what's up?" I asked them, adjusting my messenger bag and shuffling my feet. I really just wanted to get out of her and lay on my couch in my apartment. "We're headed out tonight wanna join?" Sabrina asked me while Kat and Lukas shook their heads vigorously. "I dunno..." I began but trailed off when I saw their faces. "C'mon Sky! You never go out anymore! Please please please! Just for tonight!" Sabrina begged. "Yeah it'll be fun! Best buds, hanging out, having fun." Lukas imputed and I sighed in defeat. "Fine. I'll go. But remember, if anything happens tonight, I'm blaming you." I narrowed my eyes, remembering how last time I went out with this bunch I ended up being arrested for 'disturbing the peace'. What ever the fuck that meant. "Great! Come pick me up at like 7ish. Love ya babe!" Sabrina said and pecked my cheek before heading off with Kat and Lukas. I smiled and shook my head as I headed back to my apartment blasting Bring Me The Horizon in my ears.
Once I finally reached my apartment, I walked through the door and pressed my back against it, closing my eyes and sliding to the ground. 'This college thing is harder that I thought.' I thought to myself before getting up with a grunt, tossing my bag on the couch, scaring my cat. "Oops." I giggled as my tuxedo kitty came up and brushed itself up against my legs, begging for attention. "Hi Cobalt." I said and picked him up, holding him in my arms as I made my way to the kitchen. "They're making me go out tonight Cobalt..." I mumbled to my cat as he just stared at me with his emerald green eyes. I chuckled lightly. "And I'm talking to a cat. Of course I'll go out tonight." I told him as I fed him.

After debating in my head for a while of going or not, my little demon won and I got ready in a skin tight red dress with my black pumps, teasing my hair just a bit as I walked out to my car to pick up Sabrina. I saw her standing at the front of her apartment complex, smirking as she got in my car. "My my my what do we have here?" She laughed and I rolled my eyes. "Yeah yeah save it. I look good an you know it." I joked as we pulled away and made our way to the club where Kat and Lukas were waiting. "Finally! You guys are here! Goddamn we didn't think you'd actually come Skylar!" Lukas giggled as I nodded. "Well I needed to get out with my best beds right?" I smiled as he hugged me. "Well then since we're all here let's head inside." Kat said, grabbing Lukas's hand and leading us through the club doors where the bouncer just smiled and nodded.
Once inside, Sabrina grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor to find a 'victim' as she liked to call it. It was hot a sweaty on the dance floor, the streaming lights colored everyone in different shades of colors. I began to sway my hips to the song (although I wasn't really paying attention but I knew it wasn't a bad song to dance to). Sabrina had just found her man to take home while I on the other hand couldn't seem to find anyone attractive. Suddenly, I felt someones hands on my hips pulling me back against their chest and grinding against me. I could tell it was a guy because, well...you get the picture. I glanced down at his hands and arms as the wrapped around me. 'Tattooed' I thought to myself. 'Nice.' i smiled when I felt his breath hot against my ear. "Let's dance babe." his voice rang in my ears as he pulled me back further, letting me grind harder. After a couple minutes he roughly turned me around and I gasped to see who it was. Austin Robert Carlile from Of Mice & Men. His hands traveled down to my ass, squeezing it roughly, while I wrapped my arms around his neck. "So what's a gorgeous girl like you doing alone at a club like this? Don't you know it's dangerous." He growled in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "I may not look like it but I can handle myself pretty well thank you." I retorted receiving a chuckle from him. "Oh I bet you can." He kissed along my neck and my jawline before brushing his lips against mine. My breath hitched and he smirked a bit before roughly pressing his lips against mine. I was taken aback but soon began to move my lips with his. He ran his tounge along my bottom lip, asking for an entrance which I gladly gave. I mean, how could I say no to Austin Carlile? His tounge was instantly inside my mouth, exploring every inch of mine before entwining his tounge with mine.
Someone tapped Austin on the shoulder and he hissed in annoyance before turning to see who it was. "Alan, I'm busy." He snapped as Alan threw up his hands defensively. "Dude, we need to go. Tino got into a fight with some guy at the bar." He mewed to Austin. I turned to look at Austin who looked conflicted but finally he nodded towards Alan. "Give me a minute." He told the red head who had waved to me before walking off. Austin pulled out a piece of paper and smiled sweetly. "Call me." He said, pecking me on the lips. "Have these ready for any girl that comes your way?" I asked him challengingly and he laughed. "No. Only you babe." He whispered to me kissing me again before wading through the mass of bodies and walked out the club. I just smiled as I went to find Lukas. I looked down at the paper and scoffed. 'probably not even his real number.' I sighed but decided to keep it anyways. I looked around for about a good 15 minutes but I couldn't find anyone. "Those fuckers." i mumbled, realizing that they probably left without me. I grabbed my jacket and headed out the club to walk to my car.

Okay, it's not the fact that I'm scared of the dark. It's the things in the dark that I'm scared of and walking down a near abandoned street with only street lights and shadows every where is kinda creepy. I shuddered but kept walking as i got this feeling that I was being followed. Once I got to my car, I reached for my keys but those were knocked out of my hand and I was shoved up against my own car. "Hey there baby. You look nice in that dress. It would look nicer on the floor." A husky voice came through. I began to struggle in the guys grip but I could get out. I tried to scream but a hand wrapped around my throat. "Now Now Now. We wouldn't want the fun to end so soon now would we?" He grinned darkly and pressed his lips on mine, trying to get and entrance. I kept up the struggle, kicking and wiggling to get him off of me when I felt his hand creep up my dress and brush past my core. 'Fuck! Someone help me!' I screamed mentally. Whether or not it was a fucking God-Sent miracle or I'm just one lucky bitch, the man was yanked away from me. "Get the fuck off her you asshole." The other one growled and the man just laughed. "And what are you going to do about it punk?" He spat. The taller figure clenched his jaw and swung at the other man, hitting him square in the jaw. The man yelped and stumbled backwards, landing on his ass. I had slid to the ground and watched in shock. Mostly because I was kind of light-headed and I couldn't stand. The taller man was now bent over him, beating the shit out of him. Suddenly, the other man gave up and the taller man got off him. "Get the fuck out of my sight!" The tall one spat as the other ran off somewhere. I looked up to see my rescuer as a smile creeped across my face. "I thought you said you could handle yourself." He murmered in my ear and that's when I realized it was Austin. I tried to stand but stumbled into Austin's chest. He wrapped his strong arms around me to hold me up and I guess he knew I was close to passing out because he picked me up bridal-style and carried me away to his car. "I'll have Phil or Aaron come get your car." He told me and from there I have no idea what happened next.

AUSTIN POV
I sat in my car, driving home with Alan in the passenger seat and that girl in the back passed out. I had seen her exit the club by herself so I decided to follow her. Just to make sure she would be safe. Then that guy came over and did that and I...I just couldn't contain myself. I could've killed him but I didn't. For the girls sake. Wouldn't want her thinking I was gonna do the same. "We didn't complete the hit." Alan grumbled in the passenger seat and slumped downwards. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "Jesus Alan. What'd you do? Lose the target?" I demanded. Alan bit his lip and nodded. I growled. "I gave you a simple fucking task and you couldn't do it." Alan sighed. "Sorry! You disappered and I think the guy noticed Tino and I following him so we got out of there! I mean, we know where he lives. I'll just follow him to work tomorrow!" Alan defended himself and I nodded. "You better. Remember, we have money on this job." Suddenly I heard a groan from the back and looked in my mirror to see the girl moving a bit before lying still again. I chuckled lightly and smiled at her. Not going to lie, she was absolutely beautiful and that was my actual number on the paper, though I rarely give it out to strange women but she seemed different. "What are you going to do with her?" Alan asked me quietly and I pulled into my driveway. "Let her stay the night and possibly take her out to breakfast tomorrow." I told him and he nodded to me. "That's nice of you." He mumbled, getting out as soon as I parked the car. I walked over to the other door and gently picked her up, tossing Alan her jacket. He riffled through the pockets, finding her wallet and smiling. "Her name's Skylar Marie Dawson. Age 20. Height 5'9-" I cut him off with a hiss. "Don't go through her stuff you little shit!" And Alan put it back before heading inside. I stopped him at the door. "I want you to go back and get her car. I trust you can find it." I told him gently as he picked up the keys from her coat and smiled at me. "Of course Austin! Let me grab Phil." He told me as he called Phil.
I headed inside and up the stairs to my room where I laid her on the bed. I took off her heels and put them by the closet before tucking her under the covers. I quickly changed out of my clothes and threw on fresh boxers, some sweats and a tank top. 'Wouldn't want her to freak out if she woke up in a strange house next to a shirtless man.' I thought and crawled in bed next to her, pulling her closer to me and wrapping my arms around her. SHe just looked perfect sleeping and I smiled.
'No one will love you. You're a murderer. A freak. You kill for money.' The voice in my head told me. I shook my head before drifting off to sleep.
What if the voice was right? No one could possibly love a murderer like me.
