Chapter 15

Ryder's POV

It's been around 19 hours of endless driving. I just entered Utah from Colorado, and I'm absolutely starving.

I pull up to a McDonalds and drag myself inside. A girl with bright red hair greeted me with a smile and wave.

"Welcome to McDonalds! How can I help ya!"

I don't understand how someone could possibly be so happy working at McDonalds...

"I'll take two number twos and a large sprite." The girl giggles immaturely and pushes button on the register. "That'll be five dollars and fifty-six cents." She holds out her hand and I drop six dollars into her palm. "Keep the change for the uh..." I point to the foster care donation jar by front of the register "that."

Blake's POV

"Blake. Blake! god dammit Blake wake up!" A familiar voice rang in my ears as my shoulders shook back and forth masked in strong hands. I blinked my eyes open. My vision was blurry and a sudden pounding came in my head. Bright blue eyes filled me with comfort.

"Blake we have to go, we have to go right now." The grey duck tape was tore from my mouth and I bit my tongue to stop from screaming. "R-Ryder is that.. You?" Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes. Ryder is here. Ryder is here to save me. "No it's the bogey man. Yes it's me Blake! Now hurry and help me untie these ropes from your ankles.

I hadn't even noticed the ropes gone from my wrists.

Heavy footsteps thudded from outside the door.

"Shiiiiiit!!" Ryder whispered; hands trembling but still fighting against the ropes. "Ryder." I put my hands on top of his, and he looked up at me. It felt so weird talking again, after my mouth being forced shut for.... How long? "Calm down your shaking too much." Sweat trickled down Ryder's brow line. He nodded and quickly started back with the ropes, I helped too.

"Don't you have a knife?" I huffed pulling at the rope with my fingertips. "I knew I was forgetting something!" Ryder shoot his head and pulled harder at the ropes.

The door creaked open ever so slowly. "Oh fuck me now." I whispered slowly. "I would but it seems we have some problems to deal with right now." Ryder smirked, but only for a second. The door swung open and there stood the only and only, second ass hat of the month, Bryan Agustin.

"How in the hell did you find me, uhh, her, well us?!" Bryan ran toward Ryder but Ryder quickly rolled onto his side and up onto his feet. "Bryan, please just-" Bryan swung his fist at Ryder who only caught it and squeezed it until his knuckles turned white. "Stop this Bryan. No more. Kill me if you must, just not-" Ryder paused to look at me. My heart broke into a thousand pieces. Ryder dying? Ryder. Dying. I let the words sink into me. Pains shot up my sides and through my chest.

Ryder dying? Never hearing him sing again? Never feeling his lips against mine? The warm of his hugs? His laugh? His smile? Ryder dying?

"Not Blake." Ryder aimed a sad smile my way, but then transfixed himself on Bryan once again, who looked absolutely terrified. "Well... Ryder." Bryan spit Ryder's name out like it was poison. "If you just kill yourself, little miss Blake here can be spared." Bryan chuckled. "Or I can just give her the dose of endless "sleep" that I came in here to do." Ryder looked to me and dropped Bryan's fist. "Blake." He began; pulling a gun from his back pocket. The same pain shot through my again. I could hear my heart beat loudly in my ears and feel the "Lub dub" in my forehead. "Ryder no, I- I-I'll die for you-" Ryder held his hand up and shut his eyes tight. "No Blake." He opened his eyes and directed his gaze to mine. "Too many people have done that." He slowly raised the gun to his head. The fronts of my ankles sung from fighting against the ropes. Bryan just laughed softly and held my arms around the chair. Tears spilled from my eyes. I'm watching someone else I love die right before my eyes, and again, there is nothing I can do. "No please Ryder I-" I paused and squeezed my eyes tight "I love you!" my voice cracked and throat burned.

"I love you too, Blake."

Ryder pulled the trigger and fell to the ground. The shot wasn't as loud as I had anticipated, but it's probably because I could hardly hear anything over my screaming sobs and heart beat picking up its pace, cracking, breaking, again.

Ryder dying...

Ryder's dead.
