Chapter 6 Part 1

That’s when I stop recording on my phone and pull out a knife of my own, as I enter the room.
“Stop!” I yell. Jason turns around, and Jamie’s eyes are lit up with fear. Jason suddenly drops his much smaller knife and comes at me with just his fists.
“Bad decision,” I say, grabbing both of his hands while still holding the knife.
As soon as I let go, he backs down. I pick up my phone, grab Jamie’s from his shelf and untie her, mouth first.
“Are you okay-” she kisses me almost before I could finish.
“I am now,” she says. “Let’s go. Now.”
We exit the area, and walk back, talking about exactly what happened. He took her, and I’m taking the recording to the police.

Next thing I know, Jamie was texting me, giving me coordinates, and asking me for help.
“Jason,” I murmured, knowing it was him. “Stephen, I’ll be back soon, if I come home and somethings changed in this house- I don’t care if it’s a pillow on the floor, you will be grounded for a month!” I say, running out of the door. I have a feeling he’s gonna do something wrong.
I tell the cab driver the coordinates, knowing I won’t make it if I run.
He takes me there, and within 10 minutes, I’m in front of a small house-like building.
I just burst in, not bothering to knock and follow the sounds of Jason’s voice.
I wait by the door to record on my phone what he’s saying, “I’m sick of having you in my way, so you’re going to die very, very, slowly.” I can hear her sounds coming from a duct taped mouth. I peek in to see blood trickling down her cheek.

I always feel bad about lying to him. He thinks he knows everything, but what he doesn’t know is that under these blue eyes there’s gray, and under the gray eyes, there’s a person made of secrets.
I smile at my best friend, “So.. Who’s taking Ms. Thalia to the dance next week?”
She smiles back, saying, “No one yet..”
“You’re kidding, right?” She shakes her head, indicating no. “You’re like, majorly popular!”
“Oh, I got asked,” she begins. “I just turned them all down.”
“Why?” I ask.
“Just waiting...”
“Oh, so there’s someone..” I say. I never ask, because it’s wrong to nudge into everyone else’s secrets when I have my own.
I don’t bother to think of those right now. Not around Thalia. Or anyone.
“He’ll ask you, you know. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t.. Except Edwin, of course,” I joke.
“No, he won’t. Trust me.”
“As much as I trust you, I can’t this time. I mean, if I were a guy, I think I’d ask you.”
“Even with knowing everything about me..?” She asks.
“Even with knowing everything about you,” I repeat back to her.
