Trusting You

Beautiful hazel eyes

RUE'S POV

"What's happening?!", I asked as Noah rushed into the room. "We're moving now!", He said as he started packing the bags. I rose my brows at him, "What?! I thought you said we had two days". No no no, this can't be happening. What if they don't find me in Cape town?!? No no no.

"Yeah well the cops are here so we're leaving now", Noah snapped. The cops are here! Thank God! Finally, I thought as tears fell from my eyes. Noah roughly untied my legs and picked me up but my hands were still tied. He started pulling me towards a narrow exit window. "When you jump down, don't try anything!", He snarled. I kept silent as he lifted me up to the window. I crawled into it and jumped down. I immediately started looking around, everywhere was surrounded with trees. We're in a fucking desert?! I heard the sirens at the other side of the building. I tried screaming but Noah had already jumped down. He put a hand over my mouth as he dragged me through the woods. I fought to break free but he was too strong.

I kicked a rock to the side instantly tripping Noah. He let out a yelp of pain and removed his hand from my mouth to massage the pain. I immediately started running backwards screaming, "Help! Help, I'm here". I kept running as I heard Noah's footsteps behind me. I didn't know where I was running to but I kept going. Branches and thorns tore my skin but I kept running. I twisted my ankle so I couldn't run anymore. I hid behind a rock and silenced my breathing as Noah approached where I was. I tried to remain silent but my ankle hurt so bad. I tried to run it a little accidentally rustling some leaves.

Noah immediately froze and I knew he'd heard me. He came up to me and seized my hand lifting me up, "You think you can run away? You can never run away from me Rue!". I flinched in fear as he shook my violently. Then I heard a gun shot and Noah's body jerked forward and mine did as well, from the impact of the bullet. I stared at Noah wide eyed as he gasped and struggled to speak. I look down to see blood on his shirt. He slid down my body to the ground.

I gasped, tears falling out of my eyes. I stood there transfixed but that broke once I heard my name and the voice that said it. "Rue! Rue!!", He yelled as he ran up to me. I cried loudly as he hugged me tightly. He rubbed my head lightly, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't here". I shook my head as I cried louder. I saw some officers taking pictures and carrying Noah away. Tyler, Skylar and Jack ran up to us. They watched us quietly as we hugged, tears in our eyes.

Suddenly everywhere became blurry and I couldn't breathe. I struggled to breathe as Blake's voice rang out, "Rue, Rue hey! Breathe slowly. Rue!". That was all I heard before everything blacked out.

"She's going through shock from the events but she'll be fine. Although, she has some wounds on her arms, neck and a twisted ankle, there's no major damage done to her body" "Thanks doctor". I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I saw was a white ceiling. Ew, definitely a hospital.

"She's awake", I heard someone say. I looked to the side to see my mum and Jordan. They rushed to my side. "Rue, honey how are you feeling", my mum asked. "A little sore in the throat but I'll be fine", I smiled. She released a breath of relief as Jordan hugged me tightly. I smirked, "So I have to get kidnapped and almost die to get a hug from you". He smacked my arm, "Don't joke like that!". "Ow! Mum!", I whined. My mum smacked Jordan on his head and we laughed together.

The door opened and Flynn ran inside, "Rue!". I smiled and waved at him, "Here!". He came to my side, completely oblivious to my mum and brother standing in the room, "Oh thank goodness, you're okay". I smiled, then he noticed my mum and Jordan. My mum smiled, "You must be Mr Flynn. I'm Mary Evans" she stretched out her hand to me. He shook it and stared at my mum for a second before clearing his throat, "Nice to finally meet you". Jordan and I rose our brows at each other and smiled as Flynn reluctantly let go of my mum's hand.

He awkwardly turned to me, "I have to get going now but I'll keep calling to check in". I nodded as he hurriedly left the room. "He's cute", my mum chuckled. "Mom!", Jordan and I yelled.

My mum and Jordan few minutes later and some officers came by to take my statement. I told them all I could and they said they'd come back if they have any other questions. I sighed and looked out the window, thinking about everything that happened and my last thought was when Noah was shot, then I closed my eyes.

"Welcome back!", Everyone screamed as Blake assisted me through the door. The doctor said I could go as long as I didn't stress my legs too much. Blake carried me bridal style till I forced him to put me down so I could walk by myself. After so many protests, he finally agreed.

I smiled at my friends as I rested my head on Blake's chest. "Awwwnn she's blushing", Jace cooed and I flipped him the finger. "Hey, the doctor said not to lift any part of your body", Jess said. I furrowed my brows at her, "Don't be silly, he said just my leg. Right Blake?". Blake pretended to think before saying, "I'm pretty sure I remember him saying any part of your body". I hit him and he pretended to flinch as my mum walked in with a tray of cookies.

My mum decided to make dinner for all of us before leaving. She said it's a "Thank you gift" for my friends. "Mrs Evans, you're my new favourite person in the world", Jack yelled as he ran for the cookies. I frowned at him, "Really?". He smiled warily before saying, "Don't worry you're my first and a half". At that, everyone laughed. I could feel things gradually going back to normal. I missed this.

I gasped and shot up from the bed and Blake immediately woke up. He pulled me close to him, "Another nightmare?". I nodded as tears slipped out of my eyes. He hugged me and whispered, "Shh Shh it's okay. He can't hurt you anymore okay? He's gone". I had been having nightmares about Noah and the forest non stop since the incident.

Blake's been constantly worried. The other day, we got into an argument about it.

"Don't you think you should...", He started to say. "I'm not going for therapy Blake", I immediately shot out. "But your nightmares are getting worse!", Blake said. I folded my hands and faced him, "I'm fine! I don't need it". "You're still in denial", he frowned at me. "I am fine! I don't need therapy. What's your deal?", I snapped. "My deal is you need to speak to someone about this. You need to let go!", He snapped and walked out.

I whimpered as he held me close. "I love you, you know that", he whispered. I nodded wiping the tears from my eyes. He rose my head up making me face him, "Rue, I can't bear to see you like this anymore. I just can't. Please just...". "I'll go for therapy", I cut in. He immediately smiled, "Really?". I smiled and nodded. He hugged me tightly and started dropping kisses all over my face before he looked at me with his beautiful hazel eyes and said, "I'll be with you every step of the way".
