Devil Addicted

chapter 34

Aubrey POV

"No fucking way" he grits gripping onto me tighter. 

"Ian-"

"Aubrey" he says staring me down challenging me to disobey. Before I can say anything else he says "So now care to explain why you had blood all over you?"

"Ian we need to have space for a while just so we can figure it out" I say looking him back in the eyes, letting him know I won't back down.

"I already said no and answer my question." he says coldly his silver eyes darkening. 

"You can't trap me, Ian I need space and you can't fight me on this." I strain in his grip and try to say confidently.

"You have a week" he relents but grips onto me tighter and his face twitches. 

"Gee thanks" I roll my eyes.

"That starts after you eat breakfast and tell me why the fuck you had blood all over you."

"Ian" I sigh and stab some egg.

"Aubrey" he insists with a demanding tone.

"You can't get angry at me" I say looking into his eyes pleadingly.

"I can't promise that, you had fucking blood on you. And I'm really hoping it's not what I'm  thinking." he says running his hands through his hair. I make no move to say anything so he grunts "I'll try"

I look away from him and stare at my food "After I ran, I decided not to go straight home." I pause and move my face to look at him "Because I knew you would be there." He sighs but I continue "So I went back to that alley."

"Of course you fucking did!" he says clenching his jaw and furrowing his brow. He brings his hand to grip my chin.

"I had to see if he needed help and he did, hence the blood" I say.

"You are fucking crazy" he scoffs shaking his head in disbelief. "You never do that shit again, FUCK Aubrey what if something happened?"

"Don't tell me what to do" I spit back.

He releases his grip from my jaw and grabs my shoulders instead. "I'm trying to keep you safe."

"I don't need that Ian" I sigh

"I have to do it angel, I care about you-" he starts but I interrupt him.

"Well you can do that from a distance" I say coldly. 

He growls and stands up "One fucking week" he spits and the storms out of the kitchen and I hear the door slam shut. 

I feel bad he opened up and I just shut him down. But I need space to see if this is what I really want, he won't let me break up with him so space will have to do for now. Ian always made me feel safe but I can't just let the fact that he freaking shot someone be ignored, especially when he wasn't open with me about his life from the beginning. 

Before I can be distracted by my guilty thoughts my phone buzzes.

            Spence: wow princess please tell me why an angry ian stormed out of your house??

            Aubrey: i told him we are on a break :/

           Spence: come over right now 

           Aubrey: bahahah ok see you soon :)

--15minutes later--

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT AUBREY. HE SHOT SOMEONE?" Spencer gasps, sitting up taller in the couch.
