Crazy for you

 Forest

Tom's POV

We stood in silence after I said that, Ciara clearly did not know how to respond. She could have begun with I'm crazy for you too but no she is being quite difficult.

"I saved you, why are you not thanking me?"

"I-I'm so thankful b-but why did you uh.. h-he needs help."

I shake my head, "No baby." I smoothed her hair down, trying to keep her calm.

"He does not deserve to live."

Her lip quivered, "Tommy I don't wanna be here."

"Okay we will go but Ciara you cannot go home."

"Why? I-I swear I won't tell anyone, I promise! I just wanna go home." She clasped her hands together as if she was praying.

"I cannot take you home, I apologize."

"Don't you trust me?"

I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Everything is going to be okay." I smoothed her hair down one last time before pulling her head into my chest.

"Let's get you out of here." I stepped back, ready to walk away when Ciara's hands clung onto my shirt.

"I don't wanna see it."

I pulled her face back into my chest, holding her tight against me as I led her out of the room. I kicked the lifeless body that was blocking our way to the side, a low groan escaped my lips, gigantic fucker. I unlocked and opened the bedroom door, leading Ciara out first I closed the door behind us.

I pushed past everyone in the house until we were finally outside. I pulled Ciara over to my car and opened the passenger door. I helped her into her seat and took a step back to close the door.

"Don't leave m-me!" Ciara yelled, reaching out for my hand.

I crouched down, "Baby I am not leaving, I have to drive us you know that right?"

She nods slowly, "Do not worry my princess, you are going to be okay."

Ciara nods once again tears spilling from her eyes, "No crying gorgeous girl." I say as I wipe her tears away.

"S-Sorry I'll stop." She wiped face and gave me a fake smile.

I pat her knee, "Alright let's get going."

I stood back up and closed Ciara's door. I walked around to the driver's side and got in, Ciara instantly reached out for my arm, intertwining our fingers as I began driving.

"Where are we going?" Her voice held worry.

"I cannot tell you."

"I'm scared."

I looked at her as we came to a stop at a red light, "Why? Tell me Ciara, why are you scared?"

She shrugged, "Exactly so just be quiet, okay?"

—•——•——•——•——•——•——•—

Ten minutes later and we were finally getting close to where I needed us to be. Luck was not on my side at all today. I know this because out of nowhere I heard police sirens in the distance and I knew they were for me.

"Fuck." I muttered, now I could see the blue and red lights.

"What happened?"

"Someones following us."

"Who?" Ciara turned around to look, my car does not have tint meaning that the officer would be able to identify her if they saw her.

"Do not fucking turn around!" She jumped at my sudden outburst.

"Why are we in the woods Tom?"

"I already told you Ciara, you do not need to know."

I sped up and tried losing them, I did not completely get away but they were far enough for me not to worry as much.

Ciara let go of my hand, "Let me out."

"What?"

"L-Let me out of the car."

"Hell fucking no!"

"Tom." She grabbed my bicep, trying to convince me.

I shook her off, "Ciara please just stop it."

"No I-I want out of this, now!"

"I am not letting you out!"

Ciara moved her hand to the center console of the car, she pressed the unlock button and opened her door.

"I swear to fucking god Ciara close your door!" I swerved around, trying not to hit any cars or random rocks.

"No!"

"You're going to get hurt please stop!" I was practically begging. I reached out to grab her right when she threw herself out.

I slammed on the breaks, grabbed all my things and got out. Ciara ran into the woods, I heard the sirens approaching again, so I ran into the woods as well.

The sirens stopped, light began shining past the trees next to me instead. I do not give a fuck about that man behind me, I just want to get Ciara.

"I know y'all are out there, just come out. I'll make sure y'all get taken care of real good."

The fuck is that supposed to mean?

"Are you alright honey? That man hurting you?" Just as he finished his sentence I made eye contact with Ciara.

She was crouching down behind a bush, covering her mouth. I raised my pointer finger to my mouth, telling her to stay silent. She squeezed her eyes shut and looked down at her feet.

"Darling I can help you. Come on out, that man won't hurt you no more."

Ciara stood up, almost falling as she did she looked at me then to her right. She tried to make a run for it, keyword tried.

Ciara's POV

I conveniently tripped over a rock and right as I got up he was there. He put his hand over my mouth and pulled me behind a large tree. His body firmly pressed against mine, putting a finger over his mouth as an indicator for me to be quiet.

He nods as to say do you understand, I nod as well.

I would've loved this if we were in a different scenario right now.

Tom lowered both his hands and grabbed my wrists, pulling them into his chest he kissed my knuckles whispering, "Calm down."

"I'll find ya both, just you wait!"

I shut my eyes and silently sobbed as the officer continued calling out for us.
