when i woke up jaeden was gone and i was still naked under the sheets. i rolled over to see my window, dark early morning in view. i lay staring at it until it hit me that, jaeden was supposed to come back to get me. my heart started racing in anticipation. had he seen me sleeping, did he knock and then leave when i didn't wake up?

i dug into my pillow case for the screwdriver and pulled it out. it had a black and yellow striped handle with a gold headed star screw. i looked at it, then the window, then back again. i could just leave now and then find my way around the town if i wanted.

since it seemed like jaeden would never come at this point, i got dressed and began unscrewing the last screw on the window. i put the window down on the floor gently and climbed out of the window.

i felt my bare feet on the grass. i breathed in the fresh air and i've never felt so good ever. soon i feel a big smile on my face, something that hasn't happened in a while. suddenly i heard a noise coming from the bushes, but thankfully jaeden peeked from behind the big blueberry bush. "jaeden!" i smiled. he walks over to me and gives me a quick peck on the lips. "you're finally out. how do you feel?" he asks.

"the best i've felt in 2 years. thank you jaeden, you saved me." i got teary eyed, i put my arms around his neck and gave him a big hug. "what do you think jess is gonna do when he finds out i've escaped again?" i asked jaeden.

"he's going to be furious. he's gonna go absolutely insane trying to look for you," he says. it really worried me and i feel my eyes getting watery. "don't cry. i'm going to try my best to keep you safe. you'll be safe with me. okay?" i nodded to show i understood.

"let's go to my house." he takes my hand and we take a long quiet walk around the woods as he guides me to his home.

we finally made it to his house, my first thought was, 'it's a lot shittier than jess' house.'

the house was just ugly and broken down. the paint was chipped off, the grass was dead. it was just awful.

he welcomed me in and sat on his little sofa. "me casa es su casa." i looked at my surroundings and it was a tiny little space. his kitchen had dirty plates and cups all over, his floor had little dead insects like spiders, cockroaches, and flies. he had one sofa seat and a boxy tv from the 80's.

"if your thristy, go ahead and check the fridge." i opened the fridge. leftovers and corona beer. "do you have any water bottles?" i asked him. " i don't. just get some from the sink."

"on second thought, i'm not really thirsty." i stand there, i completely regret all of this. i should've just escaped by myself.

"babygirl, get my a beer and some potato chips." i grab the beer and the bag that was laying out on the counter. i handed it to him. "hand me the remote." i grab the remote for him.

i can't believe i'm admitting this, but being with jess would sound nice right now. i haven't even been here for 5 minutes and i'm already wanting to leave. at least with jess, he'd only ask for things every once in a while, he's get up to grab his things. hooking up with jaeden was a huge mistake.

hi guys, sorry i haven't updated or being on wattpad for a long time, writing these stories don't really bring me joy anymore and i'm not really part of the fandom anymore, i've moved on and focused on myself since i started high school last year and i really just wanted to focus on myself, so i have 2 more chapters of this story to write, i will most likely try to finish any of my unfinished stories and i think i'll stop writing for a while, i'm sorry
