Okay first of all, have you heard the new simple plan song? It is freaking amazing!
Okay and the story takes off from where Red left the Diner with Norman when got "nearly" kidnapped. Don't be confused :p I love the second part of this chapter. You'll see it later <3 have fun~
"Red, wait up!" She heard Norman call her and turned around to look at him as he ran towards her. She waited for a few seconds till he approached her panting heavily "Okay, I need to exercise more"
Red giggled and wrapped her arm around Normans shoulder "I wonder how you passed gym class"
"Trust me, it was not. easy" He laughed and stared at Red who's face turned from a happy giggly Red to sad frowning Red.
"Hey" He said quietly "It's going to be okay"
"I don't think it will, Norman" Red sighed and they started walking again, they weren't going anywhere, they were following the sidewalk.
"Don't worry about Jonathon and Damon, I'm pretty sure Gina is giving them a piece of her mind right now." Norman assured her and Red shuddered "Gina's not nice when she's mad"
Norman chuckled "Oh, I know"
"This really sucks" Red sighed and Norman nodded as they continued walking in silence. They were now heading towards Red's house but they both felt uneasy as they continued to walk further. Norman stopped suddenly and turned around because he felt someone was following them. He gasped, he saw the man that was in the diner earlier right behind them smirking.
"Red... run" Norman mumbled but Red didn't hear him and turned around "What's wrong?" when she noticed the man as well.
"Norma-" She was suddenly interrupted when somebody pushed her inside an alley and she fell down, she groaned and looked up to find out who pushed her when she saw two men hovering over her while Norman stood at the other side with another man behind him pointing a gun to his head.
"Norman!" Red yelled terrified and scrambled to her feet in a hurry "What do you want?!" She screamed at them and stared back at Norman who didn't know what to do.
The man that was following her snorted and got closer to her pulling out a knife "We don't want to harm you, Red. But if you don't follow us, we're going to hurt you"
Red panicked and started screaming hoping that someone would hear her and come to their rescue but it only made the men angrier and one of them lashed at her, he gripped her hand as she tried to run away from them while the man with the knife dragged the knife across her hand which made her scream only louder.
"RED!" Norman yelled as well staring horrified at his best friend who was scared to death "DON'T HURT HER!"
"Shut it" The one behind him said clicking the gun making Norman gulp in fear.
"That'll teach you a lesson" He pulled the knife away from Red as the cut in her hand bled making Red whimper quietly as she was held by a man with one arm wrapped around her and the other to cover her mouth.
"The car's on it's way" Red heard someone say and she panicked even more, she thrashed around angrily and bit the mans hand which made him let her go immediately, she screamed loudly and both her and the man that was holding her, fell to the ground. In a hurry, she started crawling away from him but with a knife in his hand, he crawled after her and struck the knife in her leg making her cry out loud but she didn't stop and continued crawling. One of them rushed to her and grabbed her before she ran away. She was crying by now.
"Say goodbye to your friend" The man holding Norman said and Red's eyes widened when he struck Norman on the back of his head with a gun and he fell down unconscious.
"What have you done!?" Red screamed "NORMAN!"
"Norman!!" She screamed again "NORMAN!"
"LET ME GO!" She pushed the man but he wouldn't budge "Norman! get up" She sobbed loudly.
"NORMAN PLEASE!"
"We're leaving, deal with her" the men scattered away leaving her with the man who was spying on them at the diner.
"Please" she sobbed "Please let me check on him"
"He's alive, shut up" The man groaned holding her still as she cried quietly calming down after the freak out. She gave up. She knew he was not going to let her go and she was just tired of fighting. 5 minutes later, a car arrived, the driver got out gave the keys to the man and made his way out of the alleyway disappearing through the streets of her hometown where for some reason no one seemed to pass by and notice her getting kidnapped.
He placed her in the car and locked the doors as he got in the drivers seat, started the car and made his way out of the small street towards the highway.
When in 10 minutes, the car suddenly came to a halt. The man frantically looked around him for an escape but he found none when he turned to Red and threatened "No matter where you try to hide, no matter how far you try to run. Sawyer Raven will always find you. Even if it meant killing every, single, person you know. So surrender yourself now before you hurt the people you lo-" He couldn't even finish the sentence when the man suddenly went still and blood scattered everywhere making Red scream out in shock.
She sobbed and moved away trying to unlock the door but it was on child's lock which made her cry even more. She was terrified.
"Red, come here" She heard Leo's familiar voice and jumped up running towards him. He held her up and she wrapped her arms around him feeling safe and comfortable.
"Jonathon" She whimpered when she saw her best friend and cried "Jonathon, where's Norman?"
Leo passed her to Jonathon and sighed as they both went back to the car "He's okay, don't worry"
Red nodded and whimpered softly, wiping away the tears on her face as the car started. She laid her head on Jonathon's shoulder and sighed softly hiccuping every once in a while from all the crying. After the adrenaline washed off, she felt the burning sensation through her legs and to her arms.
"My legs hurt" she mumbled, getting a little bit dizzy and her head ached from all the crying.
Jonathon examined her and gasped "Leo, hospital, now!"
Leo mumbled something that Red didn't quite catch when a ring tone interrupted the silence that was slowly taking over. She didn't pay attention to Leo's conversation and instead started thinking about Norman and how she put him in danger. He could have been shot. He could have died in a moment and it was all her fault.
"It's all my fault" She mumbled again when Jonathon said something but Red zoned out and didn't hear it and no matter what he tried to say, Red will always believe that it was her fault.
She slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, hoping that tomorrow will be a better day and thinking about how she's going to explain all the bruises to her parents.
Red woke up with a sudden gasp and jumped up into a sitting position which gave her a head rush and a headache.
"Oh God" she groaned as she felt a seizing headache. She placed her hands on her temple and rubbed it lightly trying to ease the pain. When the pain slowly subsided, she opened her eyes a bit more and took a look around the room she was in. She recognized it immediately, it was Gina's.
The door suddenly swung open and light filled the room making Red wince and squint her eyes as the lights hurt her eyes.
"Oh shit, sorry!"
Red looked at the person who walked in and saw Jonathon hurrying back to close the door. When he closed it, Red let out an audible sigh and fell back down on her bed as Jonathon walked in "Hey" he said softly and stood beside her "How are you feeling?"
"Good, you?" She asked him and he smiled "I'm good, baby girl"
"Hows Norman?" Red asked and cleared her dry throat. Jonathon noticed and poured her a cup of water and gave it to her "He's fine, he's downstairs playing checkers with Holly"
"That's good" she squeaked and placed the cup aside as she gulped half of it.
"How long have i been out?" Red asked Jonathon who was now staring at her with a pained expression.
"A couple of hours, it's 7 pm" Jonathon said and helped Red get out of bed, her leg and her hand were wrapped up. She stood up with the help of Jonathon and they both walked out of the room, down stairs.
"Red!" Gina's face lit up when she saw her bestfriend coming down the stairs, Red smiled tiredly and walked to the living room where Norman, Luke, Holly, Leo and Damon where sitting staring at her direction.
"Are you okay?" She asked and Red nodded "Yeah"
Damon stood up, took one good look at her and pushed past her making his way out of the house. Red was a bit confused with his actions but she didn't have time to speak up and ask about him when they all bombarded her with questions.
Leo stared at his bestfriend painfully and excused himself and walked out behind him. He found Damon on the porch with a smoke in his hand as he inhaled and exhaled softly.
"This is fucked up" Damon mumbled which took Leo by surprise since he was completely silent on his way out.
"I know" Leo said as he took a seat next to Damon, pulling out a cigarette from the box that was lying next to Damon.
"Leo" Damon said, his voice cracking "I can't let her die"
"We won't, Damon" Leo said reassuringly as he blew out a puff of smoke that disappeared into thin air in a couple of seconds.
"If you didn't catch her on time, she would have..." Damon couldn't continue his sentence when he started crying silently. Leo let his bestfriend cry. It's been 2 years since he cried other than the night before.
He sniffed and tilted his head up "That stupid girl!" he took the cigarette out of his mouth with shaky hands and threw it on the ground.
The memories kept on coming to him, circling around his brain making him remember horrible things that he tried to keep buried deep inside but they came out viciously.
"Red's not like Sally, Damon"
"Shut up!" Damon yelled and stood up "They're both alike in every single way possible! THEY'RE BOTH IRRATIONAL AND STUPID! THEY BOTH TRY TO GET THEMSELVES KILLED AND GUESS WHAT? ONE OF THEM SUCCEEDED! AND THE OTHER WILL SOON"
"With Sally, it was too late, Damon. We have time with Red. We can save her"
"Yeah right" he scoffed.
"How do you expect to save the girl when you believe she's going to die eventually? Damon, we fucking need you here. Stop thinking about Sally. She's gone, and it wasn't your fault. None of this is your fault. Shit happens, okay?! Now get your fucking head out of your ass and stop mourning over the past. Theres more to the future to come to even give a damn about what happened back then. It's over. It happened. Get the fuck over it." Leo wanted the best for his bestfriend, he never ever talked to Damon that way... no one ever did but Leo knew what his friend needed, just a little push. However, with every push, Damon seemed to be tripping over his own feet.
"Red needs you" Leo said and walked back inside leaving Damon by himself.
When he walked in, he saw Red sitting on the couch with her friends surrounding her as they talked and joked around but she clearly looked like she wasn't in the mood. She had a frown on her face and her eyes focused somewhere else.
He walked towards her and patted her on the back, she looked up at him a little bit startled at the sudden contact but relaxed when she realized it was Leo.
"Come" He mumbled and helped her get up. Red nodded and got up following him out of the house where Damon was standing still staring at his own feet with another smoke between his lips.
"Leo, I don't need another one of your lectures" Damon mumbled and turned around, his eyes widening slightly when he saw Red standing next to his best friend.
Leo gave Damon a knowing look and went back inside leaving the two to talk.
"Damon, I'm sorry" Red's lips quivered, her eyes getting blurry "I-I didn-"
"Shh" Damon walked over to her slowly and placed both of his hands on either side of her cheeks "I am sorry Red"
He stared down at her and inhaled a deep breath, he saw the most beautiful girl. His heart raced as he inhaled in her scent that had him intoxicated. They just stood there staring at each other forgetting the whole world.
Damon couldn't help but avert his eyes down to her lips that he wanted to kiss badly. Damon liked Red. From the moment she came up to him in the diner until now. She was the only one that made him forget about his worries, he liked her, a lot and he hated it. He hated it so much. He couldn't afford losing someone he might fall in love with in the future. He didnt' want it to happen but he knew he had no choice.
He knew he was going to fall in love with her, sooner or later.
She was Red and he was Damon.
The Damsel in Distress and her knight in shining armor.
They were bound to fall in love.
---------------
Gah! I just love this part! And I love what Leo told Damon, shit does happen and we just need to get it over it eventually... life goes on my friends. Again, sorry for the long wait <3
