ANDYS POV

We continue to stare at each other for about 30 seconds before I put my hand out and say "I'm Andy". He snaps out of his trance and shakes my hand. "Rye" he says. He comes around from the counter and engulfs me in a hug. I immediately hug back, taking in the smell of his cologne.

"Better get used to my hugs, I'm a hugger". I smile into him. "Well im a huggee" I say back. "That was cheesy" Rye says. I just smile again.

I let go and say "We should get to know each other". I give him my phone and he puts his number in. I get it back and it says
"Rye😍".

I smirk to myself. "Well I got to close up, see you later" Rye says and kisses my cheek. I blush slightly, nod my head and leave. I rush back to the house, and see that Brook left a note.

"Hey, went out with Jack. See you tomorrow! P.s, hope you find your soulmate.". I smile, Brook always wants the best for me. I decide not to text Brook about finding Rye so I can tell him in person.

I decide to send Rye a text.
Rye
Andy

Hey
Soulmate?
I have a name
I know but I just can't get over the fact that I met you. I mean I was always so scared a would get a girl as a soulmate. Then I got you.
You got me. Is that a compliment?
Oh yes! You are so gorgeous and probably lots of other things.
Oh thanks, I think your hot too.
OoOOo I'm hot
Shut up.
Do you wanna meet somewhere?
Now? It's almost 10:30. It's dark and scary.
Yeah it's fine, unless you really don't want to
No I'm fine, where do you want to meet?
Uhh the park?
Yeah sure I'll be there in 5
Ok see you there❤😘

Still ANDYS POV

I get up from my couch and head out again. I start waking to the park since its only a 5 minute walk from my house. I see a bench with a lightpole shining right on it. I decide I want to wait there for Rye.

I start to hear footsteps behind me so I turn around but as soon as I do, I get pushed up into a tree. It's too dark so I can't see who did it but they start to kiss my neck. I try to punch and kick but his person who I presume is a guy, is just too strong.

I start to call for help but it's not a yell because it's mixed with crying. So it's more of a whimper for help. The guy says "Stop struggling and it will be better for both of us" but I don't stop whimpering. I keep trying to escape but it's not working. I want Rye I think to myself.

RYES POV

I'm in the park when I hear whimpering. At first I think it's an animal but then I hear a barely audible 'help'. Even though I just met Andy, I swear it's his voice.

I listen for a minute more to hear where it's coming from. I figure out its coming from the west side of me. I run over to where the whimpering comings from. I see Andy and immediately rage because I see a guy trying to force himself onto Andy.

I run over, throw the guy off Andy and start punching him. I see his nose bleeding and him unconscious but I continue to punch him.

"Rye! Rye!" I hear Andy calling me. He's crying so I rush over to him and hold him tightly. I start walking him to my car and I help him get in. He starts calming down now. "Do you want to go to your house? ". Andy replies back shaking his head so I head to my house.

"If y-you hadn't had been there, I-I could have b-been- " then he breaks down again. I hold his hand the rest of the way home to comfort him.

Once we get my house, I carry him in bridal style and place him on my couch. "Do you want a tea?" I ask. He nods again. I get up and head to the kitchen. Once I'm done I head back to the living room and give it to him.

He starts again with "If you weren't there it could have been repeated." Andy said shakily. "What could have been repeated?"

"um"

What's Andy hiding? Will he tell Rye? Who knows?
I update when I have inspiration.
Bye!
