When Iris Fletchers accidentally kills someone the smartest thing to do is runaway. On the run, tired and hungry, she stumbles upon Gavin Grey. An eerily quiet, yet breathtakingly beautiful guy. He decides to help her run. But what happens when one...
24 hours ago.. "WHY?!" I shrieked at the man in front if me. "Because your beautiful and I want to feel your skin, I want to smell you, I wa-" he was whispering in my ear before I screamed again, "YOU SICK FREAK GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME BEFORE I DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET I SWEAR NOW STOP TOUCHING ME" I couldn't breathe, it felt as if my body were on fire. My stomach churned and out of nowhere I got this rush of adrenaline. I shoved him off of me with all the strength I had. He fell back violently with a thud. I watched as his skull made contact with the hard ground. His eyes. There was no emotion nor was there the lust in them that happened to fill them just a second ago. Dark scarlet dripped out of his head. My breath hitched and I felt my body start to shake. I tore my eyes off of his dead body and looked around to see if anyone saw what just happened. Lucky for me the alley was empty. I knew i had to do something so I dragged his lifeless body and mustered up the strength and flung him into the dumpster. I wiped my bloodied hands on my ripped jeans and ran towards my house. ******************************** I woke up screaming so loud the birds in the trees woke up from their sleep. I took deep breaths in a lousy attempt to calm my racing heart. I was sweating everywhere, my sweater clung onto my back and my jeans were itchy and uncomfortable, despite the bone chilling cold of late November nights. I sat up and pushed my messy damp hair out of my face and grabbed the bar of soap and made my way towards the stream. I pulled off my clothes and slipped into the cold, but relieving water. I dipped my head in and gulped the cool fluid. I grabbed my soap and lathered it into my long hair and massaging. I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes. I heard a snap of a twig. Turning my head towards the noise I squinted my eyes to see in the dark. I saw nothing. I quickly rinsed out my hair and ran towards my bag. I dressed put my hair into a braid and pulled on my shoes. There is no way in hell I'm staying the rest of the night after hearing a twig snap. Wow, a twig snap. I knew Im slightly overreacting but hey, better safe than sorry right? I took out the opened energy bar and nibbled on it as I walked on the path always making sure the stream is in sight. Now that Im here, walking all alone, I see the true beauty of nature. The trees, the little community of animals, the wide variety of plants and green. I stopped in my tracks and spun around. I dont know if Im being paranoid or if Im actually crazy but i felt something watching me. I turned back around and quickened my pace. I kept my focus ahead but i still couldn't shake off the feeling. I looked back again. And guess what, nothing. I sighed and shook my head only to crash into a tree. Great, I muttered to myself. Rubbing my head I slowly stood up. I think i stopped breathing right then and there. In front of me was a guy. Not just any guy. But a smoking hot tall, dark haired guy. But what truly stood out is his eyes. The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. They were a mix between grey and blue. I was hypnotized by them that i was shocked when he spoke. "Done checking me out?" He said cockily with a smirk; a very adorable smirk if i might add. I was speechless. " I u-uh n-no I w w-asnt." I stuttered like an idiot. "Quiet a show you gave me back there in the stream." He said while looking at me slowly checking me out. "Hey, h-hey, stop that." I snapped my fingers in his face to bring him back to me. "You're hot." He exclaimed huskily. Great nows the time to blush like a freaking tomato. "Your not so bad yourself." I wanted to say but it came out like a weird "your jdndndnf bad hdkdndh self ", great I've made a fool of myself. Awesome. (Note the sarcasm. "Who are you." I asked him more confidently this time although it came out more as a statement than a question. He raised a thick arched eyebro- why am I staring at his perfect eyebrows, now is definitely no the time to swoon over this fine specimen. "Im here to help you, you looked like you needed help when you nearly woke up half of America with your screams, although Im sure i can make you scream louder." He winked and shook his eyebrows. "Ew, no. Are you some kind of rapist or something cause if you want to know I killed a guy who was touching me wrong." I stated confidently. But then horror seeped into my veins as i just registered what i said. His face was blank for a moment before replying,"so is that why your here? Your running away from trouble?" He asked accusingly. "Listen I dont want trouble, If your going to turn me in, fine take me. I was thinking of going back anyway." I said not looking at him. My eyes were staring at the ground below. His next words startled me. " I'll help you runaway." ******************************** Whew, done finally hehe. So how was it?

(Ps: i know this is cliche af, but i mean we're on wattpad people.)
