Chapter 13 - 13. The Road

Aaron: Lisa, what are you doing here?

Jeremiah: N, what is happening? We saw her die in the fire with George.

N: That's for you to find out. I'll extend your time here a little longer.

Aaron: LISA, I SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!

Jeremiah: Aaron, calm down. Lisa, calm down and talk to me.

Lisa: I love George. You know that, right? I would never do that to him.

Jeremiah: What did you do?

Lisa: Where is George?

Aaron: You killed him.

Lisa: …

Aaron: You killed him, didn't you?

Aaron: HAHAHAHAHAHA you killed George. You f***ing hypocrite.

Lisa: LET… ME… GO!

Aaron: You b**ch. All this time you were judging me but you're just like me. Why are you crying?? Go on, LAUGH! Isn't this what you wanted?

Jeremiah: Aaron, she can't breathe. Let her go.

Jeremiah: Lisa, what happened here?

Lisa: That wasn't me. I looked through the window and George wasn't with me, Jeremiah. IT WASN'T ME! I HAD ENOUGH!

Jeremiah: What are you talking about? You were with him at the...

Jeremiah: That was your sister, wasn't it?

Lisa: She is always doing this. Always always always. I asked her to share him with me even if it was for a day, he wouldn't tell the difference… right? Right?

Jeremiah: But what about the memories you had with George?

Lisa: I was always watching them. The movies, her room, the restaurants, she did all the things I wanted to do with him. I loved George. I loved him so much! N please let me redo this. I won't kill him again, I promise!

Aaron: So that's why you killed them here. I've met many women in my life but none of them were as pathetic as you, Lisa.

Jeremiah: I thought we said no more judging, Aaron.

Aaron: Did you see all the crap she was pulling when it was my turn? I want her to suffer.

Lisa: I am not like you, YOU PSYCHO!

Aaron: Huh?

N: Ok that's enough. Who is staying and who is leaving?

Aaron: Lisa, you better sit the f**k down. If you follow us, I'll make sure I kill you and I swear even N won't be able to stop me.

Lisa: …

Jeremiah: I'm leaving.

Aaron: I'm leaving too.

Aaron: What?

Jeremiah: Is there anything you want to say?

Aaron: He wasn't… he wasn't a bad guy, Jerry.

Jeremiah: Yeah. Yeah he wasn't.

Aaron: You know what's crazy? I kinda miss when he was my dad.

Jeremiah: I'm sure he actually wanted the best for you so it's ok.

Aaron: I don't remember anything. Not my dad! Not if I had siblings! Nothing! All my memories end with me killing someone and I'm sick of it. The only person that actually made me feel okay was George and now he doesn't even get to have his happy ending. I might just be a curse, Jerry.

Jeremiah: There is no such thing as a curse, Aaron. What happened to him was unfortunate and we have to move on.

Aaron: I know. *sniffles* I know.

Jeremiah: Yeah. So let's go.

Jeremiah: Yes?

Aaron: I am tired. I don't want to do this anymore.

Jeremiah: You want to give up now? After coming all this way?

Aaron: The real question is why you don't want to give up. You have seen nothing relevant about your past. You don't think this is weird?!

Jeremiah: Maybe but I think I'm closer. I just know it.

Aaron: That's good for you but I'm quitting on the next event. I don't care if I die by f**king poisoning.

Jeremiah: All this time and you're still thinking about George? Maybe you just want to quit because you're pathetic.

Aaron: What?
