the two are at his house, and rue is reading her poems to him. they're laughing like they're drunk but they haven't touched a drop.
after about five poems, she stops.
"that's it."
"there's another one on your notes, i can see it."
"no," she smirks. "there is most definitely not."
"yes there is! it's titled-"
and before he can read the screen, rue gets a phone call. it's ashton.
"hey, ash."
"rue?" his voice is hoarse and slow but has a frantic edge to it.
"ashton, are you okay?"
he breathes heavily. "i don't-" gasp. "know."
"where are you?"
"i'm in the-" inhale. "alley; the one where-" inhale. "i go all the time."
"okay, ash, hold on. i'll be right there."
she turns her phone off and looks at mikey.
"i need to borrow your car, okay?" she asks him, her face flushed and her hands shaky.
"of course! do you want me to drive you, or...?"
"no, i'll give you the car later, okay?"
"okay."
and so he hands her the keys and watches as she walks out the door.
he doesn't even question; he knew that she needed the car.
meanwhile, rue races to the alley - and that's when she finds ashton, bloody and barely breathing.
SHORT UPDATE SORRY !!!
