Corrupted. [Part II: On The Run]

Chapter Seven: We Can Disappear Together

CHAPTER SEVEN:

  I look down the isle and see if Louis is coming. The fact that I've actually escape, will mean that he'll probably snap and kill us both if he catches us.

   I look over at this boy with a racing heart and sweaty palms.

  "Please, we have to get out of here." I beg him, seconds away from getting on my knees and pleading.

  He grips my arm and a chill shoots down my back, something about his touch catches me off guard.

   "I promise you'll be safe, just give me a second." He lets go of me and pulls out a key. He walks over to his storage unit and opens it.

   I continuously keep watch, paranoid that Louis will come any second.

  After a few seconds, he comes out with a large backpack on, a gun in his hand… and a huge box of diapers?

  "Come on, love. I'll get you somewhere safe." His voice completely makes me melt for a moment. I get pulled back to reality when he starts to walk off.

  I follow behind him, studying him as we walk. I see his tattoos all over his arms, honestly looks like a doodle pad. His tattoos are absolutely ridiculous, but somehow he can pull it off. He makes doodle pads sexy.

  I laugh at the thought, but it's true. He could pull anything off.

Hot damn, he's so attractive.

  Boys that look like him, don't come from places like where I'm from.

  Every single thing about him seems perfect… his curly hair falling a little over his green bandana, his muscular arms, his tallness… damn he's so tall, his breath taking green eyes, his deep voice, all the way down to his obviously over worn shoes. Not a flaw in sight.

  "You mind holding this?" He hands me the box of diapers before I can respond.

   He opens the trunk of his incredibly nice SUV and takes the box from me and places it inside. He shuts the trunk and then walks to the side of the car, I follow him.

  "Here…" he opens the passenger side door for me to get in.

  "Thanks." I say slightly awkward, feeling weird about the situation. I take my bag off and get inside, I throw it in between my legs and then hear him get inside.

  He takes his backpack as well and shoves the gun inside it.

I don't even ask.

  "So erm, should I drop you off at the police"-"No!" I cut him off frantically. "I mean, no. Um, I'm really hungry. Starving. I haven't ate, so uh, yeah. You can just drop me off somewhere to eat and then I can just find a bus or something." I bite my lip and look away, I'm so bad under pressure like this. I'm trying to keep my cool and not look suspicious, but I don't think I'm doing that good of a job.

  He looks at my weird and then starts the car.

The rest of the ride is in silence as he drives down the road.

  "Hardees okay?" He looks at me and I nod my head.

   He pulls into a parking lot, and as I unbuckle my seat belt he turns off the car.

  "You don't have to go in with me." I say, not trying to sound rude.

   "It's okay, I'm starving too. Plus Lux needs to wake up or she won't sleep tonight." He smiles at me and I about die when I see his dimples.

  "Lux?" I question him trying to distract myself from his perfectness.

  He looks in the back, so I turn my head to see what he's looking at. I'm startled when I see a little child sitting in a car seat. I didn't even notice her.
