Undercover

I looked over at Jack, we were cuddling on the concrete floor. I sat up, my back hurting from sleeping on the floor last night. I stood up and walked towards the cell door. I looked out and saw the faint light in the hallway. It was clear, I recognized the area, I had helped to build it after all. We might be secret spies but that doesn't mean we always made smart decisions. Most of us had missed out on the most basic schooling, we didn't know math or English. We simply knew how to fight, how to sneak around, and other things that would actually help us in this career. We were homeschooled with the only knowledge we would need.

I shouted down the hallway to see if someone would come down. No person came by. Were they expecting us to be reasonable prisoners and not try to escape? Didn't they know me at all? That's never how I've been, I've always tried to escape. That was the entire reason we were in this hell hole. I had wanted to spread my wings and that's why I was now confined to a cage, a small cage.

"Alex, what are you doing," Jack asked.

"Trust me Jack," I whispered.

"I do."

I smiled to him and began to snoop around the darkened cell. Why had they put the both of us in here together? A lot about this situation just seemed really out of the ordinary. I could tell that Jack was afraid, he was shaking ever so slightly. I was also afraid but there was a possibility that I could get us out of here. I built this place after all, there had to be a way out.

"What if I said I could break us out," I asked suddenly.

"That's fucking ridiculous, have you looked around? There's no way. We'll die before we can get out of here," Jack muttered.

"I built the fucking prison Jack. If anyone can break out of here it's me!"

"Yeah, cause you've done a good fucking job of keeping us safe and out of here so far! I trust you and look what fucking happens! I always fucking trusted you and now look where we are. Fuck you! I still fucking trust you but I don't want you. Just leave me out of your schemes."

"I'm not going anywhere without you. I need you Jack. That's why I brought you with me; we were fully aware of the risks but still we did it. This is what we always knew would happen. I can't do this without you, I can't do anything without you. I'd rather die with you than live a moment without you."

He looked up at me through his eyelashes, it looked as if he were about to cry. He ran over to me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a tight hug. He laid a soft kiss on my neck. It wasn't sexual, it wasn't anything but a sign. A sign that he trusted me. I pulled away from his firm grasp and faced him, lowering his chin slightly so our eyes locked.

"Please Jack, I need you to do this with me. Don't tell me that you're giving up right now," I whispered.

"I'll do it. What do you need," he whispered just as quietly.

I couldn't help but smile softly at him. There was a lot of emotions floating in the air that words could not quite capture. I looked away from him, afraid that he'd see the emotions in my eyes. I might have kissed him and cuddled with him but it hadn't meant anything. If he saw that look in my eyes he'd realize all of it had meant something. He'd realize my emotions for him that I'd been beyond afraid to admit.

I motioned for him to follow me and I began to shove the empty bed frame from the wall. I felt the cinderblocks carefully, looking for a weak spot. I smiled softly as I felt them cave in a little bit. I smiled at my own flaw while building. Never had I been so happy to screw up in my life. Maybe we could make it out. Maybe we were going to be okay.

Notes

I got another update out today and I'm proud of it. I'm listening to Full Frontal and it is making me kind of happy and makes me feel better. I'm also thinking about emailing them because I think I could surprise them with a story or something cause I've seen some crazy shit at work (I'm a mechanic). Also, it's gonna be wonderful to see my parents again next week because I do kind of miss them however it's been really hard for me with my anxiety spiking all the time.

Anyway, leave a comment and rate if you enjoy :)
