Jonah's POV

I have to ask...

Me: why do you want to kill yourself?

Quinn puts her phone down and looks at me for a moment, straight into my eyes. I instantly feel like I shouldn't have asked that.

Me: you don't have to answer
Quinn: no it's alright I just needed time to think about what to say, there is many reasons
Me: so I didn't offend you?
Quinn: no, of course not. I was just thinking
Me: ok

She sits there for another two minutes. I figure she is thinking about what information she is going to tell and what she is going to keep a secret.

Quinn: well, lots of things have happened...

I can see her tense up

Quinn: I- my parents left me and gave me to a complete stranger when I was younger...

She hesitates

Quinn:He's always drunk and doesn't care what I do, but I don't mind that.And everyone I know tells me how- you know what just look at my Instagram comments.

I pick my phone up from the table and search @bb.quinn and click on her most recent post.

I turn off my phone, not wanting to see anymore of this. I give her a sympathetic look.

Quinn: that's not the whole reason, I'd just rather not say all of it
Me: that's ok
Quinn: I'm kinda glad I met you, you're so kind and I already feel like I can trust you
Me: you can
Quinn: thanks, but I should be going now

I sit there for a second and nod.she gets up from the bench and turns around to walk away, but I grab her hand.so she turns and looks at me.

Me: Quinn

I look into her eyes

Quinn: I won't
Me: promise?
Quinn: I can try, for now
Me: that's all I need , for you to try

She gives me a quick smile and walks away

After she's out of my sight I'm about to leave in the opposite direction, but I notice that she left her phone on the table, so I start to walk down the field in the direction I saw her go.

Quinn's POV
I walk to my car and as soon as I'm about to open the door I feel my body get pushed against the car. The person grabs my wrists and turns me around, letting go for a moment and grabbing on again.I look up at the man and see the devil (obviously not actually the devil)

Me: Mason, please don't
Mason:let's finish what we started last time
Me: no

He grips my wrist even tighter

Mason: I found your sister, you know, the one that you got separated from
Me: where is she?
Mason: I'm not telling, but if you don't cooperate no one will ever see her again
Me: I'm not doing that with you, just leave my sister alone!

He smacks me hard across the face and throws me on the floor. He bends down next to me holding my shoulders against the ground.

Mason: never contradict me, now get up!

I stand up and he pushes my body against the car, once again and puts one arm next to each side of me.

Jonah's POV
I heard yelling, so I start to run and as soon as I get there I see Quinn with a guy over her against a car.

Mason: now you are going to get in the car and let me drive!
Me: she most definitely will not
Mason: who the fuck are you?!
Me: doesn't matter, now you are going to let that girl go and leave before I beat the crap out of you and call the cops
Mason: Fuck you, I'll be back and I will get what I want

He walks away and gets on a motorcycle and is soon out of sight. I walk over to her...

Me: are you ok?

She stands on her tippy toes and wraps her arms around my neck.
She let's go after a few minutes

Quinn: thank you so much, you saved me

I pull her into my chest

Quinn: how can I repay you?what can I do?

Me: you can agree to stay at my place for a while

She looks at me, then asks "why"

Me: because you are safe with me, and you said the guy you live with is always drunk and doesn't pay attention to you, so maybe he won't mind.

Quinn: ok
Me: thank you
Quinn: for?
Me: letting me keep you safe
Quinn: thank you for keeping me safe

We both smile at each other and decide that I will drive my car and she will drive hers behind me.
