The Runaway

Chapter Fifteen

I skipped down to my studio and pulled the door open. I picked up a blanket that I always had here and snuggled up in it. I sat down in front of a canvas and began doodling. My mind wandered back to what it felt to have Sebastian's lips against mine. His were so soft, inviting, and warm while I must've been odd. A smile spalyed across my face and I listened, hearing soft sounds of music coming from a stereo in the corner.

"Hey," a voice whispered in my ear. I let out a soft yelp and jumped up. A pair of warms arms wrapped themselves around my waist from behind. I twisted in the persons hold and saw the same green adorkable eyes. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smirked.

"Whatcha doing here?" I asked, raising a brow.

"Just came to check up on my lovely girlfriend," he replied. I blushed and stuffed my face into his chest, trying to hide my blush.

"Hey, I hope you do know, you're missing out on a wedding," Sebastian said, placing his face into my hair. My eyes widened and I jumped out of Sebastian's hold, ran into the closet area where I kept the dress, and quickly started to put it on. Just as I was pulled it over my head, the door to the closet opened and Seb stepped in.

"Sebastian!" I screamed, placing the dress over my body. He stood there is the doorway with wide eyes.

"Er, um, sorry. Uh, you, um... You need help?" he asked. I pulled the dress over my head and turned around so he could get the zipper. His fingers grazed my skin each time he pulled the zipper up, stopping momentarily to feel my back. After he had pulled it up all the way, I turned around and thanked him. I could see that he was already in a suit, so all we had to do was go. I grabbed his arm and dragged him out to the car, where he got in and started it up.

"Go!" I exclaimed. He pulled out of the parking lot and started on the drive to the Justice of the Peace. It was only five or so minutes away. My phone rung, so I picked it up.

WHERE ARE YOU??? - Rachel

On my way! Jeez, gir, calm down! I'll be there, Sebastian is driving me - Joey

Okay, sorry. It's just that you and Quinn aren't here yet and they're about to start - Rachel

We'll be there as quick as we can - Joey

Just then, a thunderous bang erupted from just up the road. I saw that a truck had T-boned another car. Sebastian stopped the car and I got out. I ran to the wreckage and checked for survivors. Just as I was checking, I saw the girl in the front seat.

"Quinn!" I screamed in anguish and terror. I pushed through the wreckage and tried getting to her. "Call 911! Now, Sebastian!"

"Oh my god, Quinn, stay with me. Please, stay with me, Quinn!" I mumbled, trying and trying to see if she was okay. Just then, I noticed the phone in her hand and the unsent text message. I picked up my phone and dialed Rachel's number as quick as I could.

Ring...

Ring...

"Hello? This is Rachel, who's calling," Rachel asked over the phone.

"Quinngott-bonedinthemiddleofthestreetIdon'tknowifshesalive!" I said quickly into the phone.

"Woah, woah, woah. Who is this? And slow down," Rachel said. I took a deep breath, staring at the almost lifeless figure of Quinn.

"It's me, Joey. I was with Sebastian as he was driving and then we heard a huge crash. I got out to investigate and... and... Rachel you might want to sit down... and Quinn got T-boned in the middle of the street. I don't know if she's alive, Rachel. Sebastian is calling 911 now, but I'm so scared. I'm just standing here looking at her through the window. She's holding her phone with an unsent message to you," I told Rachel.

"Oh my god... Oh my god! Finn call off the wedding, Quinn got into an accident!" Rachel exclaimed to Finn over on the other side of the line. The police and ambulance got here and took Quinn away while Sebastian and I were being questioned. Seb was holding my hand and rubbing comforting circles onto the back of my hand. After the investigation was done, I was shivering from the cold. Sebastian took off his coat and placed it over my shoulders, then wrapping his arm around me and pulling me close.

We walked back to his car, him getting in the drivers seat and me getting into the passenger seat. Then he took off with me telling him directions to my house. It was a long ride, but the silence was deafening. Just as we got to my house, I realized my mom wasn't home. Typical. I was pretty shook up, so it was gonna be hard to calm down.

"Sebastian..? Will you stay the night with me?" I asked in a small voice. Sebastian looked over to me and nodded his head slowly.

"Yeah, sure, Joey," he said, getting out of the car and walking over to my side. He opened the door like a true gentleman and led me out. I pulled my house key out and walked up to the front door, slippping the key in, and unlocking it. Just as I kicked off my shoes, I was swept off my feet and carried bridal style in my dweeb's arms.

"Ah! Sebastian!" I giggled.

"You're mine, all, all, mine," Sebastian said into the crook of my neck. I giggled and hugged him.

"I'm yours," I replied. He started to march up the stair and into my room, where he threw me onto the bed. Getting over top of me, he smiled.

"So how's my Queen Bitch this saddening evening?" he asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Saddening, dear King Asshole," I replied, feigning a frowny face. Sebastian chuckled and shook his head. He got up and so did I.

"Go change for bed, I'm pretty sure you're tired," I nodded my head and started to pull my dress off, leaving me in a bra and underwear in front of Seb. I honestly didn't care anymore. I picked up a cameo and some fluffy pajama shorts and pulled them on. I quickly left Seb in my room and went to my dad's old closet, pulling out a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Once I returned to my room, I tossed Sebastian the clothes and he started to change. I may or may not have stared at him a little longer than purposeful and he may have caught me staring.

"Like what you see?" he asked, smirking.

"Oh, haha, how very cliche of you," I rolled my eyes and pulled the blanket up. Sebastian got in next to me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer. I twisted around to where I was facing him and smiled.

"You know, you can be weird and stuff, but you make up for it when you're nice," I whispered to him. He chuckled and pulled me closer.

"I love you," I whispered.

"Me too," he mumbled. I playfully slapped his shoulder and twisted around so that my back was to him. Just as I was falling asleep, he kissed my jaw and said goodnight.

"Goodnight," I mumbled.
