Trusting You

Dylan's dead?

BLAKE'S POV

I stirred awake and looked beside to see Rue still asleep. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. Last night was amazing. After the party, we came back here and danced with ourselves. Then we sat and talked, watched a movie before going to bed. I kissed her lightly on her forehead which caused her to stir a bit before she smiled and opened her eyes revealing her green sea of eyes that I was definitely drowning in. "Morning", she said as she turned her body to mine, lying on my chest and looking only at my face. "Morning", I smiled. "What are we doing today?", She asked her eyes looking very excited. "I don't know. How about maybe shopping then we could go to a restaurant later", I smiled. The sound of restaurant caused her smile to falter, she sat up and started playing with her fingers. She does that when she's nervous or scared.

"What's wrong?", I asked, my voice laced in concern. She shook her head still playing with her fingers. "Rue, talk to me", I demanded as I held her hands. "I don't know if I'm being paranoid but I think someone is following me. I mean, like that time with your party stuff, why was someone taking pictures of me?", She said as she looked up at me urgently. I just realized that that was true. I'm going to look into it but I don't want her getting worried about it. "When I was entering the restaurant, I looked back and I saw a guy from far off, staring at me but I don't....I was probably imagining it", she continued saying. I quickly pulled her chin up to look at me, "Hey hey hey. You're a very beautiful girl, people are bound to stare at you. And whoever took your photos was probably someone who didn't like you or didn't like me or didn't want us together. Maybe one of my very crazed fans", I said smirking. She smiled as she hit my arm. "You're probably right", she said as she sighed and smiled.

After almost two hours of shopping, we headed to a restaurant downtown. We sat, ate and talked. "You know we've never really discussed college", she said. I've been dreading this topic for a long while but I know we have to talk about it sooner or later but I wasn't ready yet. "What about it?", I asked casually. She rose her brows at me as if saying "you know what I'm talking about". I shrugged. "You're leaving for college soon Blake", she looked at me flatly. "I know that Rue", I said, sitting back to give her full attention. "What about us?", She asked. "Nothing's happening to us. I love you, you love me. We'll work it out", I replied. She still looked worried. "Don't worry about it Rue. I gat you", I smiled knowing she'll smile back which she did. "Okay, so I have to go to the gym later on so let me go drop you at your room okay?", I said getting up and putting my phone in my back pocket. She nodded and stood up as well. As I got out of the booth, someone brushed me roughly. "Hey", I snapped as I looked back. The guy hurriedly mumbled an apology and hurried off. "It's okay. Let's go", Rue said as she held my hand and pulled us outside.

"Oh wait. I forgot to call Sam. She said I should call her on my way back", Rue said. She searched her bag for her phone but it was too full for her to reach in well. "Just use mine", I said I put my hand in my back pocket to give her my phone but it wasn't there. "What the hell?", I said as I furrowed my brows. "What happened?", Rue asked. "I put my phone in my pocket and it's no longer here", I said still patting my pockets. "Are you sure you took it?", She asked. "Yes I am", I immediately said. "Let's just go check inside", she said as she pulled me back into the restaurant. We found the phone on the table right beside the dish I just finished eating from. "See, you must've forgotten it. You're now becoming an old man Andrews", Rue said smiling as she gave me the phone. As we walked out, I kept thinking about what happened because I was very certain I put my phone in my pocket.

I dropped Rue at her dorm room. I greeted the girls and went home to pick my gym clothes and gear. I walked into the gym and breathed the smell of sweat. I looked to my side and I spotted Rue's friend, the Skylar dude. I was starting to hate him less, at least he helped in planning my party. He saw me and waved. I waved back and walked straight to the intensive room. Less people come here because they don't want to engage in the more intense workouts and that's just how I liked it. I sat down waiting for the instructor to come. I looked up to see Dylan walking up to me. Oh God no

"So you finally want to settle this", Dylan said smashing his fists against each other. I stood up, not in the mood for Dylan's trouble, "Dude, you got it all wrong. I'm here to gym. I don't have time to beat you up right now". "Oh no, you're not backing out right now, right? Are you turning to a pussy? It's cause of that girl right?", He smirked challenging me. "Leave Rue out of this", I said calmly willing myself not to flare. "Awwnn is Blake touchy about his girlfriend? Sweet little Rue", he kept poking me. "Dude, quit it!", I snapped. "I wonder what she'd be like in my bed. If I could get Mabel, I could definitely get her", he smiled evilly. That's it! I punched him. He swung back and I dodged and swung again. "Don't you dare!", I snapped as I kept punching him. He punched back till we were both swinging punches at each other. I was so close to snapping but I let him go and sighed deeply. "Stay out of my way, Carter", I said as I picked my bag and walked out. I've had enough of gym for today.

I got out of the car and walked into the apartment. "Dude what happened to your face?", Tyler said in shock. "Nothing much. I just got into a fight with Dylan that's all", I shrugged as I dropped my bag on the floor. "That dipshit", he remarked. We both moved to go to the kitchen but froze at the sound of the knocking on the door. It's probably Rue.

I smiled as I opened the door but my smile fell as I stood in front of a police officer holding up his badge. "Mr Blake Andrews?", The officer asked. Tyler came to stand beside me as I nodded, "That's me". He pulled out his handcuffs and went for my hands, "You're under arrest for the murder of Mr Dylan Carter. Please remain silent or anything you say will be used against you in the court".

I stood shocked at his words. It was like cold water splashed on my face. "Dylan's dead?", I said but the officer didn't answer me. He just handcuffed me and started pushing me towards the police car. I didn't fight back or struggle. I looked back to Tyler who still stood mouth open, "Call Sam and my parents!". He nodded and immediately pulled out his phone.

The officer pushed me into the car and shut the door as I still tried to comprehend the situation.

What the fuck is going on?
