The man at the pizza place was so nice, he let me and Austin stay the night. He said it was much too dangerous for us to be walking around straight after it happened, he set us up in a bedroom and left. Not that I had a very good sleep after everything, but I managed to get a few hours in.I sent a text to Roman explaining that we were both okay and how lovely the guy at the pizza place was, at first I got worried as he didn’t text me back straight away but in the morning he does. He offered to walk over and walk us back with him, I said how that was nice but it would be safer for him to stay there and Austin and I would meet him after.Austin opens up the door to the pizza place, the air wasn’t as bad as it was last night but you could still smell it in the air. As we walk out, there were lines of police cars cornering off some parts of the town, I suspect those were the parts that were hit the most.“Thank you so much for letting us stay” I smile as I hug each member of the family,
After I was done in the shower, where I hoped and prayed the smell of pizza was off my body, I walk out to see both guys still in the living room. They were stood up standing in front of the tv, where with how the people are talking I guess it’s the news.“Is there anymore updates?” I ask walking over to the two guys so I could also see, Roman looks over as I come to a stop beside him.“No yet, but they said there’ll be a huge update in a few minutes” he explains looking back towards the tv, he soon wraps his arm around my shoulders as we both stand there and wait.“Were you able to get the pizza smell away?” Austin asks trying to break the long silence that kept appearing, his comment alone makes me laugh and look to the side of Roman so I could see him.“With a lot of body wash, yes” I laugh holding my arm up for him to smell, he leans over smelling my arm saying yep it’s gone. “I was just thinking in the shower, now the car Markus gave you got destroyed, you’re back to square one”
It was the next morning, when I woke up I was shocked to find Roman not asleep next to me. It took me a few seconds to remember what happened, where the feeling of confusion just takes over my body. I still don’t have a single idea why Roman was arrested, he’s nothing like Markus who should be the one put in jail! I walk out of my bedroom to see Austin in the kitchen, he was downing a cup of coffee leaning up against the counter. He looks up to see me with a smile on his face, before I could reply he holds a second cup of coffee up towards me.“I knew this would be something you’d be after, I heard you pacing up and down the house most of the night” he says handing me over the cup, I send him a little smile as a thank you before taking a look down.“I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t stop you from getting any sleep” I say with a little smile jumping up on the counter, the coffee was definitely needed as I take my first sip.The silence soon engulfs us as we remain the in the kitchen, I just
The car ride was silent, now I was in the car it gave my mind time to work. I know after this trip, Jacob will tell me what Roman has done and why he was carted away the way he was. But part of me doesn’t want to know, to me Roman is the most generous and thoughtful guy, I don’t want my view of him to be ruined by this situation. But I also want to know what he has done, if I never knew it would always be in the back of my mind. I know I could have started the conversation with Jacob, we’ve been with each other so many times that I kind of class him as a friend. But I could tell the vibe in the car, he was also lost in his own thoughts trying to make sense of everything that has happened. I assumed I would be taken to that abandoned looking warehouse, but we soon turn a corner and end up in a nice looking neighbourhood. We soon pull up at a nice looking house, which only makes me turn to look at Jacob a little confused. “This is where I live” he tells me as he turns the car off with
I stay at Jacobs for a few more hours going over things, I have to admit for awhile I’ve been worried that him and his team weren’t really doing much. But he sat me down and went over everything they have on Markus, all I can say is that man has got lucky on some of his escapes.We pull up at the apartment complex, where I send him a smile as I take my seatbelt off. I was about to open up the car door to leave, but I turn to look at Jacob once more who was still sat there smiling at me.“I know I have been asking so many questions, but I just want to know if you have seen Roman since you know, the whole arresting thing?” I ask trying to keep my voice down, if Markus has people waiting outside of a flipping warehouse, I wonder who he could have wating here!“Going to see him is actually my next stop, I let him know yesterday that I would be telling you what’s happening today, he wanted me to let him know how you took it all, you two are really the same person” he smiles which only make
It was early the morning after the kiss, I was sat in my bedroom getting ready. I was trying to take as long as I could, I wanted to avoid Austin for as long as I could. As I sat looking at myself in the mirror, memories of last night fill my head.*flashback*We continue to kiss for a few long moments, it was as though my brain just didn’t know how to function in that moment. But after awhile, it starts to work and I’m snapped from the moment. I push on Austin’s chest making him pull away, where his shocked face looked back at me.“This can’t happen” I say repeating what I said in the room, I push past him and start to make my way towards my own bedroom.“You know what just happened felt right, more than it does with Roman” Austin says following behind me, of course he wouldn’t just allow me to walk off!“You have no idea how I feel!” I shout still trying to make it to my bedroom, but Austin was hot on my tail.“Everyone can see that you’re not happy with Roman, but you know when you
It was now the next morning, Austin and I spoke for hours all yesterday and last night. I confessed even though I was putting on a brave face, I was scared out of my mind, but Austin kept reassuring me that I would be absolutely fine.I had just gotten ready and was about to leave, when my phone begins to ring on my dresser. I walk over to the phone to see it was Jacob, I turn around to the door to make sure Austin wasn’t about to walk in before holding the phone to my ear.“I need you to be downstairs in 5 minutes, I’ve got to take you somewhere” was all Jacob says before he hangs up the phone, I look down at my phone so confused on what the heck just happened.But my brain soon kicks in telling me that Jacob would only call me like that if it was an emergency, I look around my room picking up everything that I’m going to need. Before I knew it, I was walking out of my bedroom and into the main section of the house where I thought I would find Austin. But I instead see a note on the
In no time at all, we arrive at the house Jacob took me before. The one he says that no one knows about, I told him to call it his mini hide away last time I was here.“Is it safe for Roman to stay here, you told me you use this house so when you’re not at work, you can live a normal life where no one can follow you?” I ask looking over at him as we stop, I didn’t mean because it might be unsafe for Roman to stay here but I don’t want all of this to get in the way of Jacob being able to escape.“I’m glad you remembered what I told you, but no I don’t have to worry about that as Roman actually isn’t staying here long term, I’ve just brought him here so you can see him” he smiles which was really nice, but also proving what a great person Jacob actually is.“You know I’m going to thank you again don’t you?” I ask looking over at him, but he shakes his head opening up his car door.“And I’m going to tell you that you don’t have to” he smiles before he climbs out of the car, I follow his
