Kidnapped By Rogue
Chapter 35

I proceeded to stand there as I looked around the room. The green walls seemed to close in around me and suddenly I was hyperventilating. I quickly plopped down to the floor and pulled my knees to my chest, pressing my forehead against them as I tried to take a deep breath. A bit of pressure was placed on my back, as a small voice whispered into my ear, "It's okay. You're okay. Breathe." I tried lifting my head to glance at the person comforting me, but was pulled into a tight embrace. In a reflex, I wrapped my arms around their frail shoulders, shutting my eyes tightly. "KJ?" I barely whispered but then only my heavy breathing and an occasional 'shush' was heard.

Before long, I was calmed down and exhaustion was whisking me away, but not before I was pulled away from my comforter and placed into someone else's arms. I peeked out and caught a glimpse of a grey t-shirt, belonging to Rouge himself before finally going into an uneasy sleep.

Rouge's point of view:

"She's freaking out!" Sarah yelled, sprinting into the living room. I jumped up and followed her down the hall.

"You're okay. Breathe," I heard Sadie say as she sat in the middle of my bedroom, cradling Blakely. She was pale and sweaty and breathing hard as she clung onto Sadie.

With her eyes clamped shut, she whispered KJ's name only to be answered with silence. I grabbed her up and into my arms to carry her to the bed. She peeled open her eyes then shut them once again. I gently placed her on top of the bed, pulling the covers up to her chest; her breathing was now slow and steady.

"That was low," I caught Sadie saying before I latched onto her arm.

"Shut your goddamn mouth," I snarled, gripping her harder as she squeaked in pain.

"I'm sorry," she said breathlessly and I dropped her arm, which she held to get chest. A tear escaped her eye but she brushed it away. I dismissed her and told her to close the door on the way out.

I sat down on the bed, opposite of Blakely and observed her. Her right hand twitched often, as did her lip. I brushed her hair out her face and noticed the towel that was once wrapped around her head, was laying in a heap on the floor. I went over and picked it up, throwing it into the bathroom then went and lied down on the bed letting sleep take me away.

I opened my eyes slowly, looking around the room. Blakely was still sleeping beside me, slightly snoring. I slid out of the bed, careful to not wake her and made my way to the living room.

"Is she okay?" Sadie questioned as soon as she saw me. I nodded and proceeded to sit on the couch next to Airion with Tinleigh on his lap and Ace with Sarah on his.

"She's sleeping right now. Where's Riz and Kenzie?" I asked when I realized they were the only people missing. Brydon put his arm around Sadie and looked at me dully

"I think you know," he answered with a wry grin. I rolled my eyes and looked over at the TV- Jerry Springer was playing on mute.

I snapped my eyes to the doorway just as Blakely entered. Her hair was up in a rather messy bun and she was wearing a pair of my sweatpants with a grey tank top.

Sadie started to get up, but Brydon wouldn't let her so she sat there with a fake smile plastered on her face as Blakely passed her. She headed towards me, and I absentmindedly patted my thigh in which she sat on without an argument although she was very tense. "Sleep good?" I mumbled into her ear and she gave a small nod. I wrapped my arms around her waist and tightened them until she relaxed. Everyone stared at her, expecting an outburst of some kind.

"Uh, hi?" Blakely said awkwardly, which snapped everybody's attention away from her. I couldn't help, but chuckle a bit. Biting her lip, she turned so she could face me, "Rouge?"

"Yes?"

"Why? Why did you take me?" she asked, captivating everyone's attention once again. "Why are you doing this to me?" I looked at her and sighed. I pulled her up out of my lap and took her hand to lead her into the bedroom. I sat on the bed and she stood in front of me between my legs.

"Well," I began to explain...
