Can You Escape the Feeling?

Chapter 21

Rosie's POV:
R: "Guys!!!!" I yell running into each room waking everyone up. "Wake up!" It was 9:30 A.M. & I just got a call from one of the officers.
Haz: "Ugh it's too early."
M: "Haz shut up! If Rosie is waking us up, it's for a reason."
L: "Did someone call, Rosie?"
R: "Yah one of the officers called & said they went to go talk to Nick. His alibi checked out which is good, so it's not him. But the bad news is when they went to go talk to Josh & go to his apartment no one was there. No one there or at his work had seen him in the past couple of days which means he might have been part of taking Tom & Y/N."
L: "Oh my gosh. That's the guy they were arguing about."
R: "Now they're sending officers back up to the woods because they tracked Josh's car. It's on the other side of where we were last night."
M: "They're going to Josh's cabin that Y/N & him used to go to. We have to drive up there now! Rosie call them back & tell them they're at Josh's cabin & the address." I did just that letting them know the exact address & telling them we're heading up there. Today is the day are friends are going to be found & are coming home.
Tom's POV:
Right as Brynn said that & ran out the cabin, I knew what I was gonna do. There was no other option. I rip off the duct tape from my mouth.
T: "Y/N stay with me. You're gonna be ok. Just hold on," I say taking the knife & cutting the other rope that was tied to my wrist as my eyes go from my wrist to Y/N.
Y/N: "Thomas I-I don't kn-" she says as her eyes start to flutter open & close.
T: "Shh...Y/N don't waste energy. Just try to keep your eyes open. Ok? Listen to my voice. Stay with me," I say as I finally cut the rope & run over to her & cut the ropes off her wrists & place her on the ground against the wall.
Y/N: "It hurts Thomas," she whimpers as she squeezes her eyes shut putting pressure on it.
T: "I know, I know love," I say cupping her face. "Umm.." I look around for something-anything to put pressure on her wound. I run to the bathroom & grab towels. "Here you go," I apply pressure. She grits her teeth wincing from the pain.
Y/N: "Thomas you have to go." She says grabbing a hold of my hand her sparkling eyes staring deep into my worried & saddened eyes.
T: "I-I can't Y/N. Don't ask me to leave you." I plead as tears fall from my eyes as does hers.
Y/N: "Thomas," she says & I kneel down, "Please this is the only way to stop this. You know you have to."
T: "I know I have to save you Y/N." she shakes her head slowly.
Y/N: "Please for me? I'll be ok." She nods as she cups my face caressing her thumb against my cheek.
T: "Are you sure?" I whisper & she nods.
Y/N: "But I need to tell you somethings before you go."
T: "Anything Y/N. Tell me."
Y/N: "Do you remember us talking about you & Haz's parties & then about me finally getting to know the real you & you saying there's good guys out there, & I said something about I think I found the right guy, & you asked who but I never told you because Josh & Carley came, & then we escaped?"
T: "I remember what about it?"
Y/N: "You're that guy Thomas. I finally figured it out. You're the right guy for me. It took me a while," she chuckles then winces from laughing. "but I found you," she says as a tear escapes her eye, & I wipe it away with my thumb.
T: "And I'm really glad you did Y/N," I give a weak smile & put a strand of her long hair behind her ear.
Y/N: "I also want to tell you that you're the first guy I truly do love & have fallen in love with. I love you Tom," she said. It suddenly felt weird & unnatural for her to call me Tom. I grew to love her calling me Thomas.
T: "I love you too Y/N," We both leaned in for a sweet yet passionate kiss like this was the last time our lips would touch each other's. I started to stand up, & she stopped me before I completely stood up.
Y/N: "I love you Tom, & I want you to promise me something."
T: "Anything for you Y/N."
Y/N: "I need you," she says licking her lips as she tries to hold back her tears. "I need you to move on after you leave, & I'm gone."
T: "Don't say that Y/N," I say crouching back down & holding her cold hands. "You'll be here when I get back, you promise me that?"
Y/N: "I don't know if I can keep that promise Tom. But you can promise me to find that lucky girl out there for you/me yes? She's waiting for you somewhere out there, but you have to let go & move on for me. I love you Tom, & I'm glad I got to know the real you." She kisses me one last time. I stand up & grab the gun & walk to the door & turn around one last time seeing those sparkling eyes staring back into mine.
T: "Be ready in a red dress on Friday by 8 o'clock. Ok? I love you Y/N, & I'll never stop." I say as she wipes away her tears.
Y/N: "Ok," she nods. "And don't forget to wear your dancing shoes & the bouquet of daisies." She gives a weak laugh & smiles.
T: "I won't. I love you Y/N." I smile.
Y/N: "I love you too Thomas." She smiles, & I take off after Brynn. I ran outside seeing the car was still here, so I know she's on foot. As I ran chasing & trying to find Brynn, I tried to wipe away all the sad & angry tears because of the pain Brynn has caused. I ran the fastest & best I could jumping over fallen trees running through the forest.
T: "Brynn! Where are you?!" I yell. She must've not been too far ahead because I could hear her.
B: "Not for me to tell!" She yells and laughs as I try to run faster to catch her. I finally see her running just a couple yards ahead of me. She turns around & sees me giving me a smirk & starts to run faster. "Think you can catch me?!" And as she said that my feet moved the fastest they have ever gone finding the most strength & energy I had left to catch up to her. Still with the gun in my hand I caught up to her & tackled her to the ground. As we both crashed to the ground, the gun fell out of my grip away from the both of us. We both glanced up at each other & then our eyes glanced towards the gun. We both tried to scramble over to the gun, but I got it before Brynn did.
B: "I see you chose to come after me Tommy," she flirts as she's on the ground on both her knees looking up at me.
T: "Shut up!" I yell at her pointing the gun aggressively at her.
B: "I guess you'd rather see Y/N die than stay with her and try to save her," she says with a smile.
T: "I said shut up!" I yell tears coming out of my eyes. I wipe them away with my sleeve as I point the gun at Brynn. "You're sick you know that," I say taking a step closer to her. "You take people's happiness and love because no one will EVER love you," I yell. "How could they though," I say calmly. "You're a murderer, selfish," I take a step closer to her after each word. "Shall I go on," I say placing the head of the gun against her forehead.
B: "Tommy," she says calmly. "Well if I can't ever be loved neither will you," her tone changed. "That's another reason why I stabbed her," she says harshly through gritted teeth.
T: "And that's why you're gonna pay for this," I cock the gun back ready to pull the trigger.
