ANNIE LEBLANC
I try to move in the chair that I was currently tied to, but it wasn't any use. "Don't move you slut" I hear Asher tell me whilst kneeling down in front of me staring into my eyes. My face was dirty. I was dirty. "What a shame your coward boyfriend of yours hasn't appeared here yet hm babe?" He says whilst he paces round the room, a gun in his hands. I feel a cold metal being placed against my temple and instantly jump at the contact. "What do you think should I kill you now?" He whispers in my ear. "Tell you what I'll give your boyfriend another 10 minutes and if he doesn't show well, let's just say it's not gonna be so nice for you" He says and shuts the door indicating that he's left the basement.
I hear a gun being fired and instantly jumped at the noise. I start shivering, from the coldness and how nervous I was, soon after I hear the door being slammed open and my arms being untied along with my legs, and not long after my blindfold being took off my head. "Hey baby it's okay" Hayden coos and pulls me in for a hug, making me immediately cry into his chest, letting all my emotions out.
He took my hand and we ran out the house, and I saw multiple bodies covered in blood, most likely dead and Asher's was one of them. I feel the cold wind come in contact to my bare bruised and bloody arms and try to warm myself up, still running. We finally reach Hayden's car and I immediately jump in, putting the heating on as Hayden turns on the car. "Are you okay" he asks knowing that I'm not. I shrug and then start crying again but Hayden places his large hand onto my thigh causing me to calm down a little.
After about 20 minutes of driving we finally reach my house, both of us stepping out.
HAYDEN SUMMERALL
"Look Annie" I say grabbing her arm lightly and pulling her close to me. "I have to leave. It's for the best and we both know. Today was just one of the many things that could happen to you if I'm still going to be around. I can't stand you being hurt. God it fucking kills that I can't be around you, all I do is lead danger to you.I'll come back to you when I've got the all figured out. I promise baby" i spoke softly whilst gazing into her eyes, her shivering stops. Her eyes are suddenly dull and then all of a sudden she bursts out crying. "Y-you can't l-leave. N-not a-again" she manges to say throughout her sobs. "I have to. And deep down you know it's the most safest thing for me to do" She gazes into my eyes, slowly nodding her head. We stand still just looking at each other. Gazing into each other's eyes. And I lean in, so does she. Our lips attach and sparks go through my body. I pull away from her slowly, already missing the contact. "Goodbye Annie, I love you." I whisper to her but loud enough for her to head. "Goodbye Hayden. I love you too" she speaks, tears continuously falling from her beautiful face.
She turns around from me, heading to her front door, and gives me one last look before opening it, walking inside and shutting it behind her. I stand there, feeling heartbroken. I didn't want to do that. I had to.
Love is a funny thing isn't it. It can start off with something simple like friends, but then one of the friends would fall for the other, and sometimes even the other falls too. But sometimes, it doesn't give you the happily ever after that you want. That you're certain that you'll get. If you love someone you'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy, living. But there could be other scenarios where one falls too much in love they're blinded and the other doesn't love them enough. It's scary, knowing what heartbreak can do to people. Or sometimes you only realise one thing.
You only know you love her when you let her go
and that's what i found out when i first left her.
