NOELLE's POV:
I was still shaking the entire time I was talking to the cops. They recognized me from the news, and they took the report, told me that they would look into canvassing the neighborhood to see if anyone got a plate or a make and model of the car. They would call if they figured out who it was and I nodded right away.
I turned and saw Ryan, my breath was still coming out choppy, but when he called himself my boyfriend I almost passed out. Then he kept kissing my forehead and holding me, and I felt so at peace.
He walked to the guy that showed up, Avery, and then we were in his truck. He carried out my bags of copies and learning plans and I sat in the car, looking around wondering if another car was going to come back and shoot again.
Once Ryan got in and started driving I calmed down a bit, my breathing came easier, and I tried to focus on seeing the few cars going around for a bit and when we stopped a block away from school and into a small parking lot behind a building I didn't know I waited to see what he was doing.
He looked back when he realized I wasn't getting out and he waved me to follow. I pushed the door open quickly and made sure it shut hard before I walked with him towards the front of the building.
It was a small coffee shop and as we walked in I heard someone shout they would be right there. I looked over the menu and saw some goodies as well and I looked into the little snack and dessert section to see what was fresh.
"Ms. Rolland!" I looked up and around when I heard a very familiar voice and I saw Cami. She smiled wide and looked back into the kitchen and waved at me. I waved back and Ryan cleared his throat. "Uncle Ry!" She seemed more excited to see him and I watched her take off into the back and then I heard another door open when she was out of sight for a second.
She ran around from the back and right to him. Ryan hefted her up as if she were a mere toddler and held her to his chest like she was light. But then he had kind of done the same to me just a little while ago when I was crying on my kitchen floor.
"What are you doing here with my teacher?" She asked him and looked at me and waved again.
"Well... she got into an accident and I am driving her around until she gets a new car."
"Did you bring the truck?" Cami's eyes went wide and he nodded. "I love the truck! We go camping and fishing in it during the summer sometimes! And when it starts getting cold out and Christmas comes around he takes me to pick out his tree for his house, and then I get to do it all over again when my dad takes me." She told me and I just nodded along with it and she started to say what else she got to do with her 'uncle' Ryan.
"Hey." I looked over at the new voice and saw Jackie, the girlfriend standing behind the counter. "What can I get you guys?"
"She left her to go cup at her house so two plain coffees?" Ryan asked and looked over at me. That would be fine, a little cheaper than what I was thinking about getting.
"Are you sure?" Jackie asked like she saw that I wasn't 100 percent sure that was what I wanted.
"Can I actually try the butterscotch iced coffee?" I asked and she nodded right away before looking to Ryan. She smirked like she knew something and then turned before letting me pay and I just waited so I could pay. I had everything from my debit card to my credit cards on my phone so it was easy to do as long as the shop, like this one, had the updated card readers.
I didn't know that Jackie was a business owner but when I took the iced coffee and took the first sip I was in heaven. It was delicious.
"How much?" I asked when she didn't seem to start ringing me up.
