Stockholm Syndrome {hopelessly in love}

Chapter 10

So here's a very very late update

WhenI was getting dress the next morning I found my phone in the bottom of my suitcase. So obviously I called Emma. She picked up right away.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Look, do you have a weird psychopath brother?"

"You mean Jonathan?"

"No. Jason."

Dead silence.

"Em?"

"Did you say Jason?"

"Mhmm."

"He umm.... He died a few years ago. And well my family doesn't really talk about him. Wait how'd you find out about him?"

"He's not dead."

"What?!"

"He's not dead."

"Are you sure? How do you know?"

"He's right next to me."

'WHAT?! CAN I TALK TO HIM?"

"Shh, not right now, he's asleep."

"Wait where are you?!"

"That's not important right now. I need your help."

"What, did Jason kidnap you or something?" She asked sarcastically.

"Umm yeah, basically."

"WAIT, WHAT?!?!"

"Em, calm down. I need to know how my family is."

"How should I know how your family is."

"Well my brothers go to your school...."

"Oh right. I actually don't remember seeing them at school recently."

"Oh no. This is bad."

"What?"

"I'll call you later, ok?"

"Wait, you need to explain-"

I hung up, there was no time to explain.

"Jason!" I said frantically, as I shook him awake.

"What do you want?" He asked sleepily.

"Jason, wake up! I think Matthew hurt my brothers!"

"What?" He asked as he sat up.

"I was talking to Emma and she hasn't seen my brothers."

"Hold on. Who's Emma?"

"Your sister."

"H-how'd you find out who my family was?"

"You're last name. Emma's my best friend, so I just kinda figured it out."

"So now she knows I'm alive?"

"Umm yeah..."

"Oh....."

"I'm... sorry?"

He chuckled then was serious once again as he said, "so what makes you think Matthew has hurt your family?"

"Emma hasn't seen any of my brothers at school in a while."

"That doesn't really amount to much. I mean, it's possible that she just didn't see them, or they got the flu and stayed home or something simple like that."

"But what if it is Matthew?"

"Then we should worry. But it probably isn't. You know how over dramatic girls are. Emma probably just freaked out and convinced herself she hadn't seen them or whatever."

"Jason, why aren't you even willing to try?"

"Because if they are in danger, we have to leave to help them. And if we leave, then I can't do this all day," he said putting his arms around my waist and kissing me.

I got lost in the kiss.

After a couple minutes I reluctantly pulled away.

"If they are in danger, we can't just stay here and pretend we don't know."

"But this is more fun."

"Jason, please, for me."

He sighed. "For you."
