With a small yawn I slowly opened my eyes. I turned around to give Rogue a goodmorning kiss.Except there was a problem.
No Rogue.
I sat up rubbing my eyes, he was probably just out for a run. Getting up and out of bed I silently celebrated at the fact that it was saturday.
Walking out of Rogues room and down the stairs a very sleepy Jessie greeted me.
"Where's Rogue? Is he still at JJs?" She asked with a yawn.
"He's most definitely jogging or something." I tried to wave it off but stopped "Wait what do you mean at JJs?".
"I got home at like three last night, I peeked in your room to check on you guys. Rogue wasn't there, So I figured he was at JJs."
"What?" I exclaimed "We went to sleep together last night."
Jessie sighed, "He probably snuck out, I'll call him."
She got sent straight to voicemail.
Pulling out my phone to try and call him, I went straight to voicemail as well.
Jessie scrolled down to Jacobs contact and called him instead.
"Jess? Whats up?" He anwsered.
"Is Rogue with you?" She asked hurridly.
"What? No? I mean I don't think so." There was a rustling of sheets as he seemingly looked around "Nope not here."
"You had to check?" I piped in.
"Yeah cause this one time, you know what thats a funny story that can wait until later. But yeah he's not here."
Thats when the panic kicked in.
"Thanks anyway." Jessie muttered before hanging up.
She saw my panciked expression, "Look he sneaks out all the time. If anything JJs lying. I'll see if his fake Id is here."
Walking back up the stairs and into his room Jessie reached behind his TV taking out a small card.
"This says his name is Ben Dover." I noted.
She snickered, "Yeah and the funny part is him and JJ have never been caught."
"Alright so thats still here.." I trailed off "So where would he be?"
"Look if he's not back by Noon. Then we'll tell Milah ok? He's mosy definitely drunk at JJs." She assured me.
That really didn't make me feel any better.
JJ pov
He better not be with Ried.
My heart basicly beating out of ny chest I called my Best friend.
Straight to voicemail.
What if he hurt him?
What if he was hurting him right now?
Almost falling out of bed I ran down the stairs not bothering to change out of my pajamas.
"I'm going out for um..Coffee! Be back!" I shouted jogging out the door.
~~~~~
Was it West and Fourth, or West and third?
Choosing my first choice I pulled a hard left turn.
I had followed Rogue there one night, getting him out a situation.
That couldn't have ended well.
Pulling up on the sidewalk I hopped out.
Jogging to the alleyway I peeked in walking in a few steps.
Blood.
That was the first thing I saw.
A huge puddle followed by a small smear.
Putting a hand over my mouth my stomach flip flopped.
Please don't let that be Rogues.
My eyes watering I ran back to the car, Milah had to know.
This was to far.
Rogue pov
It was dark..
And cold.
I tried getting up only to be met with a searing pain in my shoulder.
Crying out I heard the clicking of a tongue from in front of me.
Stay quiet Rogue
"Bailey?" I whispered.
"You finally woke up hm?"
Somebody grabbed my shoulder roughly causing spots of pain to dance in my eyes.
"This." He squeezed my shoulder harder "Could have been avoided."
He removed the blindfold from my eyes not yet realeasing the grip on my shoulder.
"Josh.." I whispered tears in my eyes threatening to fall.
"Be quiet!" He barked shoving me back into the wall.
There was a sickening crack as my head connected with the cement behind me.
My head swimming I slumped forward.
"Why.." I managed.
"Did I say you could speak?" He scolded "My god your voice is annoying."
"To bad I missed." He sighed gesturing to my bandaged shoulder.
"You shot me?" I whispered shocked.
"No moron I gave it a kiss." He muttered.
There was laughter from behind him.
I froze in the realization that we weren't alone.
"You didn't hurt Boone did you?" I asked my lip quivering.
"Not yet." He drawled.
My eyes went wide, "No! Don't! Please I'll do anything!"
Struggling to get up he pushed me back down.
"Shut up!" He yelled "Before I make you!"
Silent tears dripped down my face.
"Just do what he says ok? I'm scouting around for a way out."
"Thankyou Bailey." I whispered.
Ried scoffed "Your such a Freak! Theres nothing there! No wonder I was the only one who would take you."
His words didn't faze me, I had heard it all before.
"Your going to have to do worse than that." I laughed dryly.
The room silenced except for the sounds of knuckles cracking.
"You shouldn't have said that." Ried chuckled.
Uh oh.
