Loving a Criminal

Alone

Kasey's POV

"Mom are you home" I yelled when I walked through the house.

Derek's car was gone. So he probably went back home to his wife. Cheating bastard.

I walked into the kitchen to find a note tapped to the refrigerator.

Went to Atlantic City with Derek don't wait up

I crumbled the note up and through it in the trash.

Great I'm in this hell hole all by myself.

I walked to my room and closed the door. I flopped on my bed.

Don't cry, don't cry

I kept repeating to myself. Trying to stay strong.

This has been going on for the last three years, and it still hurts.

You would think I would be used to get by now. I turned over and sat up on my bed. Watching the storm clouds form outside my window.

Just leave. Anywhere has to be better then here.

It's not that simple. Where would I go? I have no family, no friends, no money. I rather be here, then out on the street somewhere or dead.

I walked over and opened my window letting some air in.

I looked up at the moon and watching the clouds pass over it.

It's gonna be a long, lonely night.

I looked down at the empty street. Watching trash blow across the pavement. Squirrels case each other.

How sad squirrels have a better life than me.

I looked to the right and saw a shadow like figure staring in my direction.

Weird

I started to get creeped out so I pulled myself back in my room and closed my window.

Jason's POV

She's so beautiful

"Oh my God Jason shut up"

Oops said that out loud.

I turned to look at Alex. "Sorry man, so what you think?"

"I think your an idiot."

I glared at him. "No, about Kasey"

"Oh well she seems trustworthy. But I don't like her. She's too nice"

I raised my eyebrow in confusion. "To nice, Alex there is no such thing as too nice. And by the way she talked to you back at the park. I really don't think she likes you all that much."

"I don't see why not"

"You hinted that we should kill her"

"Well she shouldn't of been listening to our conversation."

I rolled my eyes and walked to the car. "Come on bro let's go home."

Kasey's POV

6 hours later

I woke up to a loud bang downstairs.

What the hell was that?

I carefully got out of bed and walked downstairs.

I saw nothing by the door nor in the living room. So I walked to the kitchen. I saw my mom picking up pots and pans off the floor.

"Mom are you okay?" I asked walking into the kitchen.

She turned and looked at me with blood shot eyes.

"Kassidy there you are"

I sighed. Great she's fucked up.

"Mom go to bed, you look like hell"

"I will, I will but I have something for you." She reached for her bag on the counter.

She pull something out and through it at me.

It was a wad of cash. "Mom were did you get this?"

"Me and 'hiccup' Derek hit 'hiccup' a mini jackpot 'hiccup'
in Atlantic city. That's your 'hiccup' share.

"Mini jackpot? How mini?"

"$15,000 dollars, that right there is $5,000 that's yours."

"Wow ummm thanks" I said rolling the money around in my hand.

"I'm 'hiccup' going to 'hiccup' bed. Night" she said walking down the hallway towards her room.

Wow $5,000 dollars.

Hey you can finally leave.

I looked down at the money and sighed.

Maybe.
