She's on the Run

8

Recap

During my run my music stopped and I got a phone call. I checked it and it was Moe.

Me - hey Moe is everything okay?

Unknown voice - let's go have some fun baby.

Moe - no let me go!

Shit

I turn around and run as fast as I can back to the club. I get past the bouncer and look around for Moe and I can't find her. My heart and mind start racing.

I check the back room and I hear whimpering I kick the door as hard as I can breaking the lock. The guy turns around.

"This stall is taken" he says

"Get away from her." I say

He walks up to me and I tell Moe to go get help. As soon as he's out of the stall Moe runs out. He tried to grab her but I kicked him in the knee.

Oh crap

Next thing I know I'm pinned up against the wall with his hand around my neck. I tried to kick him but he wouldn't budge. I could start to feel myself pass out. At the very last second I was dropped to the ground.

Hopes pov

I saw Moe running from the back room and tears are going down her cheeks.

"Moe what happened?" I ask grabbing Ashlyn and Tobin

"I'll explain later! Taylor told me to help! Hurry!" She says running back to where she came from and I ran after her and so did Ashlyn.

"Find the others now!" I say to Tobin

When we got back there a guy had Taylor pinned to the wall with his hand on her throat. Taylor was struggling to get him off so I grabbed the vase and hit him as hard as I could and he dropped Taylor to the ground. Ashlyn punched him so hard she knocked him out. I ran over to Taylor.

"Breathe your okay" I say rubbing her back as she regains her breathing.

Morgan runs over and holds her hand. The rest of the team was here by now. We ended up calling 911 and the guy was arrested. A paramedic checked Taylor's neck and then we headed back to the hotel.

Taylor's pov

When I hit the ground everything seemed to go slow motion. I was struggling to get air into my lungs and Hope kept telling me I was okay and to just breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly. It took a bit but I finally got back to breathing normally. Moe ran over and held my hand as I sat on the ground for a few minutes. We had to wait for the police, they asked all of us questions and arrested that guy and we were able to go back to the hotel.

I unlocked our room and held the door for Moe as she walked in. We both changed and then we sat on the bed.

"How did you know I was in trouble?" She asks

"You called me accidentally and I heard you say get off so I ran as fast as I could to the club, I snuck past the bouncer and looked for you, I figured you would be in the back. I'm glad I got there when I did because I don't want to imagine what would have happened if I didn't." I say

Moe stayed quiet for a few seconds. She got up and paced the room.

"I could have lost you" she says

"I'm right here" I say softly

She cuts me off and crashes her lips on mine and wraps her arms around my waist pulling me closer and I wrap my arms around her neck kissing her softly back. We break away when air is needed.

"Wow" I say

"I'm sorry" she says

"Don't be" I say

I connect our lips on a short soft kiss and she of course kisses me back.

"Taylor will you be my girlfriend?" She asks

"Yes I will" I say smiling

She picks me up and spins me around gently. I hold onto her.

"Well I'm sleepy" she says

"Me too, we have practice tomorrow." I say

We both fall asleep

Next morning

I woke up to my alarm and I shut it off and slowly got up. My throat felt sore.I then changed into my practice clothes. I was about to go brush my teeth when Moe spoke up.

"Oh my god babe!" She says coming over to me

"What?! What's wrong?!" I ask starting to panic

"Your neck is really bruised!" she says

"I haven't looked in the mirror to see" I say walking to the bathroom with Moe following right behind me.

"I'm texting Jill and Dawn." She says

Minutes later I hear a knock on the door. Moe goes and gets it while I stare at the mirror.

I can tell it's Dawn and Jill. They know about what happened but it was also pretty late.

"Okay tell me exactly what happened again ?" Asks Jill

"Um the team went to a club and Taylor was out running, a guy came and grabbed me and was gonna rape me, I must have called Taylor on accident and she came and rescued me but she told me to run and get the others and when we got back in the guy was choking her and hope and Ashlyn got him off and then we called the police." Moe says

"Taylor can you come out here please"  says Dawn

I walk out and Jill and Dawn both gasp

Dawn looks at my neck

"Do you feel any discomfort or soreness?" She asks and I just nod

"Okay I want you to go easy today. If the pain isn't getting better come to me and I'll take you to the hospital to get looked at." She says

"Okay thanks Dawn" I say

"No problem" she says

Jill and Dawn leave and we go down for breakfast. After breakfast we head to the buss to go to the stadium for our practice.

Skipping 3 days to next game
Moe's pov

(I'm making up everything that's happening in this game so none of this has really happened)

We are playing Germany and we are still tied 0-0 in the first half. Germany has been more rough then I remember. Taylor's been knocked down a lot. We just got a corner and I go to take it. I kick it into the box and Taylor is able to head it in. Some of the players went down including Taylor and everyone got up except Taylor. I jogged over to her
