gun shots filled the air followed by screaming.

it's been about a little over an hour and i couldn't run anymore but i kept walking as much as i could. i was surrounded by thousands of acres of forest.

saying i was terrified was an understatement.

i looked at the phone but no service. so many things filled my head at once.

i still loved that son of a bitch.

i didn't want to believe it was true but there was a straight tape with colby agreeing with my father to murder me. there was no denying that.

i finally got to a big broken down tree and decided to sit there for a while trying to calm myself down.

i physically couldnt cry anymore. sitting down in the dark quiet environment was so eerie to me.

i look at the phone again.

1:32 am

i was so tired at this point but i was terrified to fall asleep.

a few minutes passed and i was still there praying that all of this would just disappear.

my dress was filthy but a little too long, it could hold me back if something happens.

i took the fabric and ripped it off right on my knees.

i loved that dress too but mud and dirt, a little blood and sweat ruined it.

i threw the fabric to the side and laid down on the dirt.

tears began to well up in my eyes before i fell asleep.
-
the sun shown through my eyes as i looked around.

i found the phone and looked at the time.

8:26 am

i sat up looking around but i had to keep going. i stood up and began walking forward once again.

10:29 am

i was walking for ages. all there was were trees. i sat down against a tree once again with no service.

putting my head in my hands just wanting to go home.

then, a twig snapped. my head shot up as i heard my heart begin pounding.

another snap.

i looked around frantically terrified they found me.

then, i looked to my left to see colby. holding his side and struggling to walk.

i didn't know what to do. i stood up but stuck in my stance not knowing whether to run or stay.

he looked up to see me there.

"blakeleigh?" he asked. i stood quiet.

"oh my god are you okay" he said picking up his pace.

"don't get fucking near me colby" i said.

"blakeleigh please just hear my side" he begged.

he slowly sat down and i guess it couldn't hurt to hear and explanation.

i sat down where i was. he was about 20 feet from me.

"before i met you blakeleigh yes i was ordered and hired by your father to kill you. he didn't want to owe them that amount of money so we were going to say you died of natural causes or some shit" he began.

my heart broke at the words. my own father wanted me dead because of his money.

"but blakeleigh when i got to know you, you are the sweetest most beautiful girl i have ever met in my entire life. and will probably be the only one. i fell so fucking hard for you so i couldn't have killed you even if i wanted. i had the perfect opportunity to do it a while ago" he explained.

i didn't know what to believe at this point.

"what about kat, tara, and devyn?" i asked shaking.

"they are still alive. the guys couldn't do it so they resigned. they're not doing it anymore so they are okay" he said.

"then why are you still with me? if you couldn't do it then why didn't you follow them?" i said tears forming.

"because i wanted more time with you. i enjoy being around you." he said looking at me.

"blakeleigh i don't know how else to show you how sorry i am. and that i was never going to hurt you ever" he said. his eyes glistened with tears.

"i'm more scared of you then ever" i said lowly.

he nodded putting his head down.

"how did you ever find me?" i asked.

he pulled out a tracking device and a piece of the red fabric i ripped off my dress.

"your earrings have a chip in it and i found this" he explained.

"how do i know i can trust you again" i asked.

"you don't. but i have never met someone like you blakeleigh. all i ever wanted more was to keep you happy with me no matter what" his voice broke.

i stared into his eyes. i've never seen them so regretful and sincere.

"please let me show you that you can trust me. please" he said sniffling.

i gave in.

i stood up and ran over to him falling into his arms letting all my emotions out.

he hugged me tighter than ever shaking from trying to hold back his own emotions.

"i'm so sorry darling" he choked.

i looked at his face, still covered in dry blood and a black eye with a gash on his cheek, definitely going to scar.

"come on we have to keep going" he said picking me up" i stood by him holding on his arm as we began walking once more.
-
another two hours passed by and i heard a roaring in the distance which sounded like some kind of air craft.

we both looked yo to see a helicopter over our heads slowly lowering.

"thank fucking god" colby breathed out.

a too ladder was dangling close enough for us to reach. colby lifted me up, him be right behind me going up the same step with me making sure i didn't fall.

"we finally reached the top of the helicopter and fastened ourselves in side.

i look to see sam driving the helicopter

"oh my god colby" he said looking at his wounded face.

we sped off to a small modern house in the middle of a field. i didn't even know where i was.

once we got there, we got out and went inside. i grabbed the first aid kit telling colby to sit down along with a wet rag.

i sat beside him cleaning his face and neck off
