We spend the next few hours delivering all the packages, Markus told Austin he had to follow the list in order which took us from one side of the town to the other! There was houses that were down the road from each other, but Markus made us go around the Wrekin! We had just delivered the last package after hours, I take a look at the clock to see it was nearly 2am!

“I know Markus said we had to go to see him after, but I think we should just head home, we’ve been out for hours now” Austin sighs rubbing his face, I knew he was probably much more tired than I was as he’s the one driving and running up each house, while I was sat in the car.

“As much as I would love nothing more than to go home, it says at the bottom of the letter that we need to go back to Markus’s house no matter what” I say pointing to the little note at the bottom of the letter, I was trying to make sense of the note and why we would have to do that, but like everything with Markus, there’s no making sense!

    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

    *Ten Months Later*I was peacefully walking up and down the market, as it was getting darker earlier once again, the pretty market was just full of fairy lights. This place always reminds me of a fairytale, the people are always so nice when you talk to them.We haven’t been able to come back here in way over a year, with all the chaos we had to stay clear of this place which was sad. But now I was back, the peaceful moment is what I really needed. But due to the peaceful moment, my mind was having its opportunity to start thinking about all the chaos that had filled my life for those months.Of course, my mind drifted to the one and only Roman first and what he was up to now. I know that might be very confusing but also, rather alarming to hear me speak about him that way. But I’m here to tell you, Roman never died that day, even though that’s what Jacob said. When the police looked more into what Markus did to the city, it was found that the device that Markus used to blow up all th

    I continue to lay in Austin’s arms pretending to be passed out, the only flaw to my plan is I couldn’t see what was happening because of my eyes being closed. I trust Austin won’t let anything happen, but let’s all remember that Markus is about and when he’s involved, there’s no telling what could happen.“We don’t have time for this, come on” I hear Markus’s panicked voice says from somewhere, I didn’t know how long this was going to stale him but anytime, is better than us running with him.“Can’t you see that my pregnant girlfriend has passed out?!” Austin voice shouts which did nearly make me jump, thank the lord that I managed to not flinch.“Payton is going to be fine, but we really need to leave!” Markus says sounding like he was really losing his temper, but at this moment I didn’t care that much. “I know something that will wake her up” he says and before I know it, my eyes shoot open as he had just thrown cold water on my face.“What the fuck?” I ask looking down at myself,

    Around an hour later, Austin and I were back in his car heading towards the seafront again. I feel like this is all I have done recently, just drive to and from the same places over and over again. We had both gone over the plan with Jacob and I felt confident, that we both knew what we had to do.The car was silent as we sat there, I think we were trying to come to terms with what we had just learnt, Austin more than me. While also, worrying if a certain part of this plan falls through, which is something we cannot let happen!“I still don’t understand how you were able to hide what you were doing from me for so long, either you’re really good or I don’t pay attention” Austin says breaking the silence, I look over at him laughing as he looked back at the road.“I did it to keep you safe and I knew what you would have said if I would have told you, I’m sorry I kept it from you, I hope you’re not too angry” I say looking over at him with a tiny smile, I would understood fully if he was

    We soon head home and begin to pack our things, Austin told me that we would have to pack one bag each. We didn’t need to be lugging a heap of bags with us when we were trying to run, I kept agreeing with him before I start worrying about the plan that was ahead of us.I had packed a bag of important things before walking out into the living room, I could still hear Austin rushing around in his room getting his things ready. My eyes begin to scan the living room a place I had called home for a few years now, trying to take in any details that I could. I had no idea if we were going to be able to come back to this place once we leave, not because we’re going off with Markus as I know we’re not. But after he gets arrested, we’re going to be put in witness protection. I know for sure that we won’t be able to live here, this will be the first place that Markus will look.I still couldn’t really believe that this whole nightmare is going to end soon, the event that has taken over my life f

    Austin just looks at me for a second, I had to try and act like I was somewhat surprised over what Markus had said. But I knew before Markus knew what was going to happen, Jacob gave me the heads up a few days ago.“I mean I’m happy that you’re taking us into consideration, but Payton and I can’t go on the run with you Markus” Austin says turning back to talk to Markus, I knew Austin didn’t want to because he knew I didn’t like being around Markus but also, because of the predicament that I was currently in.“I know it’s not the ideal situation, but you’re going to have to if you don’t want the police to turn their sights onto you” Markus says not getting why Austin was so hesitant, I was more shocked Austin was kind of telling Markus no for once.“We can’t psychical go on the run” Austin said looking to me as he said it, I think he was trying to spell it out to Markus who clearly, wasn’t getting what we were trying to say!“Sure you can, I have been on the run before I came here and

    Austin soon spots Markus standing there too, lucky for us he hadn’t turn around to look at us yet so we had a few seconds. Now he was in my eye line, I couldn’t stop the scared feelings that were running through my body.“I know you’re scared Payton, but trust me you’re going to be fine” Austin whispers looking down at me as we walked, I take a deep breath in sending him a smile letting him know I was somewhat fine, even though my heart was going at a million miles an hour. As we get even closer to Markus, you could see from the way in which he was standing, that he was also panicking. We even managed to get right up behind him and he didn’t know it, this Markus is one I’ve never seen before!“Markus?” Austin says when he still didn’t turn around, this does make him jump and finally turn around to look at us standing right behind him.“You two don’t understand how happy I am to see your faces, you won’t believe the amount of shit I’ve had to deal with this morning and it’s only 10am!

    In no time, we arrive at the sea front, my anxiety still off the charts at this point. One thing that I have learnt about Markus, you never know what his next move is going to be and there really isn’t much point trying to predict it either. Whenever you think a situation is going one way, Markus sweeps it from under you and sends you in a complete spin!We drive up and down for a few minutes, I was hoping we would be able to spot him and be able to stay in the car while we talk. That way if the conversation for whatever reason was to go south, we will be able to make a quick getaway. But I couldn’t catch sight of the man even once, even Austin said he couldn’t see him anywhere.“I think our best bet would be to park the car and look for him on foot” Austin says after a few more minutes with no luck, that plan was definitely not what I wanted.What if Markus has somehow found out that I have been the one helping police? Could this whole meet up be some kind of surprise attack? Markus

    I was sat in my bed just letting my thoughts wonder, I don’t think I have fully had a chance to think over everything that has happened. Not only with Markus, or the feelings for Austin that are slowly taking over my thoughts. But the little life inside of me, I place my hand on my stomach just staring at the ceiling.I still can’t believe this is all happening, my mind has been so consumed with everything else that I haven’t fully processed what’s really happened. I just hope when the time comes, everything will be back to normal.The noise of my phone getting a message snaps me from my thoughts, I look over to see it sitting on the table. I had a thought I could just leave it, but I knew it might be urgent so I had to force myself to stand up to see who it was.I pick it up to see a message from Jacob, all it said was the plan was underway, but I knew exactly what that meant. I thought I would have more time to prepare myself, but it looks like it’s starting right now! The spies wer

    We were soon pulling into the apartment complex, I feel like this is all I have done over the recent weeks. Just gone to and from seeing Jacob, Markus than home again, not how I thought my life would be going if I’m being honest. Jacob soon pulls up at the bottom of the steps where I send him a smile, I look over at see the lights on telling me that Austin had come home before I got back.“What should I tell Austin?” I ask looking over, I think I’m fully out of excuses at this point, I’ve had to use so many recently! “I can’t say I went to work today, he only told me yesterday that he had drove passed my work and saw it will be closed for a few weeks” I say my best excuse was out the window, he knows that most of my friends are out of town until all this trouble blows over and Brooke is missing.“Just say you got a call from the station telling you Roman wanted to see you, you were picked up by an officer and took over to see Roman” Jacob says which I soon think about for a second, th
