White Roses

The snow falls gently on my shoulders as i wait for noah in the school field .

I wish he could have picked me up at my house like a the cliches,but the chance of him meeting or seeing my mom would ruin everything for me .

i don't need that.

getting lost in my thoughts , I didn't notice Noah standing right next to me looking up at the sky .

" Shit noah , you can't just keep popping up like that ! "

He turns to me laughing , " Woah there Abby it's fine, come on let's go. "  He nods towards his car, this time with no Cyrus inside .

It's a beautiful grey Audi R8 .

He opens up my passenger side door to let me in ,i give him a small smile as a thank you. 

" So where are we going .. ? " I ask curious .

" You see that's a suprise , even if i told you. You'd think I'm insane . "

" Well now I gotta know . "

And just like that the British wall went silent. 

**
THE BEACH ! 

As in sand , palm trees , hot sun , and the ocean waves .. but in the winter.

so just snow , freezing waters , and no people .

" Now love I know what you're thinking , why are we here ? Well this is where you ran into me for the first time , absolutely saying nothing . "

I feel my cheeks heat up .. am I blushing ?

That's new

" How or why do you remember all of this ?"

" I just do, let's go beautiful we're going for a walk . "

There it is again .. beautiful .

We walk onto what would be the shore of the beach.

" So ellie -- "

" What did you just call me ? "

I turn to him shock probably filling my face .

" Ellie . Is there something wrong ? "

" No it's just -- my dad used to call me that back when i was a baby . "

" Oh well do you not want me to call you that ? "

" No you're fine . "

After two hours of Noah and I walking along the coastline,and  him giving me his sweatshirt , I've learned about three things.

One , we both have secrets. 

Two, beach dates in the winter are  honestly super fun

And three, Noah hates the color green .

*
On my way walking home, I can't help but feel different, like there's something about to happen.
Then I see it the black Cadillac suv, the same one that was there two blocks ago.

shit .

Noah

Our  date was great, but we both continue to hide things from each other. 

I want to tell her about my past, my father, how technically I'm on the run, but I can't.

I'm afraid she'll leave or think I'm gonna hurt her.

*
As I drive home, I hear my phone go off.

I wait til i reach a red light to read it.

It's from abrielle,

Abby ♡.

> You think you could hide from us forever ? If you want you're precious girlfriend to live , meet us at the abandoned asylum. 

Shit. 

I make a u-turn at the next red light and speed over to the asylum as fast as I can,

" Cyrus!! They took her , they found us.  "

I basically yell into my phone , " sir you need to calm down who did they take ? "

" ABRIELLE CYRUS THEY TOOK ABRIELLE TO THE ASYLUM !! "

I feel my blood boil .

" I'm on my way . "

I don't even wait for Cyrus to go inside, I have to get her .

Abrielle

The only thing I remember when I wake up is the rag . It was red and as soon as I inhaled, I passed out. 

I don't know where I am.

I don't know who brought me here.

I don't know why the hell I'm tied up .

All I know is that,  I'm scared.

I hear footsteps approaching me. 

A man with dark hair squats down so he can be eye level with me.

" Well aren't you a pretty one? How ya feeling ? " His breath smells of cigarettes and so do his clothes.

" What do you want from me ? "

" Oh darling aren't you cliche ?  This isn't some crime show, it's real business . What I want from you is your boyfriend. "

" He's n-- Noah ? "

Noah came into the room , I can tell he was livid .

He comes rushing over to placing his hand on my cheek, " are you okay ? Did they hurt you ? " 

I just shake my head.

He turns around, getting real close to the guy.

" Adam what the fuck do you want ? "

Adam looks at him angrily, " we need you. "

Noah laughs, " I'm sorry what ? You need me ? For what ? "

Adam looks at me then back at Noah, " Get her out of here ! "

Next thing I know someone comes from behind me with another red rag.

*

What the hell !?

I'm back in my room. How the fuck do they know where I live ? What the fuccckkkkk !

I go downstairs to find Cyrus in my living room.

" Uh hello ."

" Ah Ms. Lynn you're awake, you see Noah sent me to look after you. How are you feeling ? "

" Um fine. Where exactly is Noah ? "

" He's taking care of business . "

Cyrus picks up an old photo of my mom and I, " Oh also your mum is out, said she had work . "

" Well that's just fucking great. " I mutter .

" Okay well now that you are awake and seem very well, I am going to leave. Don't worry about me telling Noah where you live, I can keep a little secret. "

Cyrus winks then leaves silently.
