Familiar Face

Jess's POV

I woke up laying down with my hand in Kyle's hair and my other hand on his chest with my head buried on his chest.

I slowly get up and look at him sleeping so peacefully.

It warmed my heart up so much seeing him like this. 

I look back seeing Stan looking extremely upset I could see dry tears on his face.

"Stan? You okay?"

"Uhh Y-yeah are you okay?"

"I'm fine.. Can I sit up here?"

"Uhh yeah.."

I slowly crawl up to the front seat and sit down buckling up. 

"You can talk to me Stan."

He sighed.

"I don't know what to say.."

"I'm sorry... She told me how happy you two were..she was always talking about how you two would get married one day.. At least she wanted that."

I look at him and tensed up.

"Stan pull over, you can't drive like this."

He slowly pulled off the side of the road. The second he parked he broke down crying. 

"Come on, switch places with me." I said unbuckling. 

We both get up and over each other switching seats.

I flopped on the drivers seat and breathed out.

"I know it's hard Stan."

I begin driving.

"She was my best friend. Since I was so young I couldn't remember anything. She was so happy all the time. I just loved it. There were times where she would drive me nuts but she was always there for me. Yeah she's a little much but she was so positive. It rubbed off on me and made me the person I am today."

I look at him. He was looking at me.

"Yeah she told me... I went upstairs to get her some chocolate. She was really upset... I rarely have to give her chocolate but..."

I sighed.

"Stan... Did you love her?"

I hear him cry out.

"I..... I don't know..."

"How about now?"

I see his hands ball up as he looked down.

"She was always so kind. It was something I wasn't used to."

"Wait what are you used to?"

"Well my ex. She was the complete opposite.. It just threw me off to see someone so happy all the time. It kinda got annoying."

"Stan... She's is a very positive girl but... She was at her all time happiest when she was with you."

I look back at him seeing him looking at me.

"Jess.... It's all my fault... She's like this."

"Stan don't say that." I choked up.

"It's true. She turned because she got angry."

"No Stan... That's not what happened."

"What do you mean?"

"She was crying downstairs waking me up. I ran to her seeing her so upset but by the time I was heading upstairs I heard her yell out of nowhere. I was going to get to her but I heard you guys show up. Stan all this doesn't add up. She was doing better so fast."

"Then what happened?"

"I don't know Stan but...we will find out."

He breath out hard.

"Do you think.... We will get her back?"

I breath out myself.

"I... Don't Know Stan.."

"I can't believe the last thing she heard was those horrible words from me... I'm such a fucking idiot!"

"Stan stop."

I grabbed his hand.

"Do you want to hear her last words?"

He looked at me with tears streaming down his face and his ears down.

"She said I love him so much... Why can't he love me back?"

He grit his teeth.

"It's because I'm broken!"

"Stan... Talk to me open up? Let it all out. Let's fix you?"

Something sparked in him with that phrase. 

"That's what she always said... You can never be fixed.."

"Who?"

"Her name is Wendy."

"Wendy Testaburgler? Oh my god Stan don't listen to what that bitch has to say. She's totally fake and demanding, she's a terrible person to be around in general.

"She... Broke me..." He choked up.

"Stan... You may be broken but... Stand back up... Be strong for Molly, okay?"

I squeezed his hand tight.

He squeezed back.

"Thanks Jess."

"Stan.... How do you feel toward Molly now?"

"I don't know..."

"Close your eyes and describe her in your own words... Her looks... Her voice... and her personality."

He breathed out closing his eyes.

"Her looks... She....was known for her cute smile at school. No one would ever see her without it. She had the prettiest yellow eyes... I could stare at them all day. Her voice was sometimes a headache and a half but....thinking more positive about it, she was always so inviting and had the most cheerful and kind voice I ever heard. Her personality was.... The reason why I asked her out back then. She was always so outgoing and cheerful. She would approach kids who were alone and sad.. She would talk to people of all sorts not caring."

Something changed in Stan at that moment. I could tell.

"She was so kind... Her soul was pure gold. Her smile was breathtaking... Her... Touch was..Spine chilling... What I would give for her to touch me again."

I looked over at him shocked by his words.

"Do you love her?"

It was like a reflect for him, he said it immediately.

"Yes. I always have..."

I felt my mouth gap open.

"Why didn't you say it back?"

"I have commitment problems... The thought of moving forward scared me. It blinded me and made those terrible words come out of my mouth... I was so scared when she heard and I was lost.."

"Stan...."

He looked over at me.

"You opened up to me. Now when we rescue Molly I want you to open up to her too."

He grit his teeth tearing up again.

"What if we can't get her back?"

"We will Stan.. We will."

He squeezed my hand hard.

"Thank you Jess.."

I smiled.

"See Stan, you just need to right people in your life and you can get fixed."

I squeezed his hand.

"What would I do without you Jess?"

I lightly chuckled.

"Why don't you relax okay?"

"Uhh yeah.. Thanks again Jess."

"No problem. I'll wake you up when we are there, okay?"

"Yeah"

I drove for awhile.

I was getting closer but then I realized someone behind me that look awfully familiar.

My eyes widen when it hit me who it was.

"S-Stan...."

I began to panic.

"Stan!!"

I pushed him.

"What, what?"

"T-that van... That's the van that... Showed up at my house giving me that collar."

Then I saw him try to pass me.

"Stan get down now!!"

"Fuck, fuck where?!"

"Jump in the back hurry! He can't see you!"

He unbuckled and quickly jumped in the back seat with Kyle.

"Get down Stan!"

"I'm trying!"

When he passed he looked right in my eyes.

'It's that same guy.... The one that kissed me..'

I see point at the side of the road.

"Stan.... Get in the very back and hide under the blanket back there."

"Why?"

"Stan please.. Get Kyle back there two."

"Jess, do you realize what your asking?"

I panic not knowing what to do. 

I look away from the guy and drive faster.

The second I did that he drove fast then me and cut me off and stopped.

"FUCK!!!!" I screamed out. 

I quickly swerved to the left hard.

"Jess, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Stan... He knows I'm hiding something. I have to pull over!"

"Fuck.... This can't be happening."

"Cover up please. The blanket is in the back."

"Jess... Are we going to be okay?"

"Cover up please...I'll do what I can."

I slowly pull over seeing him pull over in front of me.

"Don't move, okay? If you hear me hit the car... Please... Drive off."

"Jess, I'm not leaving you!"

"Stan I'm serious. Your predators. Knowing you and Kyle are safe is all I want."

"Jess... Please don't do this."

"Take care of Kyle for me."

His eyes widen as he was about to protest but I quickly opened the door and close it.

I walked up to the guy.

"Why didn't you stop?"

"Why did you cut me off?"

"I just wanted to see you again Sweet Lips."

I cringed to the stupid nickname. 

He got close to me.

I backed up into my car.

"Where are those other guys you were with?" I asked.

"Oh their in the back." He said pointing at the van.

I look and felt my heart rate skyrocket when I saw deep claw on the back door.

"Oh okay. So where are you heading?" I asked slowly walking to my door feeling uneasy. 

"A little place called your back seat."

I tensed up drooping my ear.

"Ohh is someone else in your car I thought you were a loner."

"I am."

"Hmm so if I go to your back seat I won't see anything?"

"No you won't. But if I go in your back seat will I see my best friend Molly?!" I spat out full of rage. 

His eyes widen.

I grit my teeth.

"Give her back!!!" I yelled out. 

"Oh I'll be sure to take you to her Sweet Cheeks."

He grabbed my wrists hard. I yelled out as he pulled me toward him harshly.

I grit my teeth lifting my leg and kicked my car hard.

"Oh Sweet Lips, just go in the back of my car... It'll be fun."

I cried out pulling away from him in fear.

"Whoa, your strong but not as strong as me."

I screamed out when he picked me up over his shoulder.

I grit my teeth hitting his back hard.

I look up and see no one in the driver seat.

'Stan.... Please leave.'

I hear him open the door. He harshly threw me inside the back seat. 

"Such a shame you were such a babe but you had to dig too deep.."

He slammed the door in my face.

'Please guys... Leave me.... You'll get hurt...'

Kyle's POV

"Kyle wake up. Please dude wake up!"

I slowly open my eyes looking up a see Stan panicking looking around.

"S-Stan?"

"Dude we need to get out of the car now!"

"W-what going on?"

I tensed when I felt the car shake and hear something hit it

My heart ached looking around. 

"J-Jess, where is she?!"

"Kyle, get up we need to get out."

He grabbed my arms helping me up.

I groaned out in pain.

I slowly look and felt my heart sink.

I see a black rabbit hybrid picking her up and taking her to his van.

"Kyle, we need to get out now!"

He crawled over the to the back seat. He opened the trunk getting out.

"Kyle come on."

I grit my teeth looking away from the sight and crawl over to the back seat.

I groaned in more pain.

"Come on Kyle grab my hand." He said holding his hand out to me. 

I grabbed his hand.

We got out of the car. 

"Get down and hide."

He touched a button on her car and it started closing her trunk.

"Such a shame you were a real babe but you had to dig too deep..." I hear in the distance. 

I felt the words trigger anger immediately. 

'What did he just say?!'

"Kyle... We should run to the van on the right. He's heading over here now."

"Okay."

He slowly get up to the side of our vehicle watching him.

"Okay.... Go."

We both ran hunched over and hid on the side of his van.

I tensed when I see the guy walk to our car with a gun.

"Oh how I loved to shoot a predator right now. That damn cat wore off fast... Give me something better to bring to Zootopia."

My heart sank hard.

"Kyle.. Get in the van."

"What, why?"

"Get in the van now." he said sternly. 

"O-okay." 

He ran fast to the drivers side.

I quickly opened the passengers side and froze.

It took so much to not scream.

Stan froze too looking in horror.

"Back up Kyle."

I quickly steped to the side and tensed when I see the body fly out of the car.

"Shit Kyle hurry, hurry. He's coming!"

I grabbed the handle to lift myself then I hear a cock of a gun behind me.

I felt my whole body go into shock. 

"Hmm, your what she was hiding."

I slowly look feeling fear consume my body.

"You'll do nicely."

"A fox terrorizing Zootopia... No one likes a fox anywhere." He said with a shit ass grin. 

"Now...hold still."

I felt tears come as I closed my eyes scared for my life.

'I'm sorry Jess.'

*BANG*

I opened my eyes feeling no pain. I slowly touch my chest panting.

I look up and felt my heart sink.

"Kyle get inside now we need to go!"

"J-Jess?"

"Hurry, before he wakes up!"

I see her run and grab the gun and get in the back closing the door she slammed into him. 

I quickly jumped in the passengers side.

"Argh I'm not siting it that." I said looking at the blood filled seat. 

"Okay close the door Kyle and you can climb to the back."

He turned on the van and drove off quickly.

'God that's so much blood.'

I slowly look back and tensed

"Molly?!"

"W-wait did you say.. Molly?"

"Yeah Stan, she's back there..."

I see him tear up and breath out hard.

"Is she okay?"

"Uhh... She...is muzzled still and looks like she's slowly transforming back."

"Kyle... Can you drive?"

"W-what we are running away from someone."

"Please.. We can switch really quick."

I breath out.

"Okay."

He put it on cruise as I grabbed the wheel.

He quickly climbed to the back of the van.

Shortly after I hear someone climb through the window.

"Hey, let me drive."

"Uhh are you sure?"

"Kyle, please your hurt."

I breathed out hard.

"Thank you so much Jess."

She quickly grabbed the wheel switching with me.

I tensed when I see her wrist bloody.

"W-wait.. Jess. What happened?"

"He... Did that."

I grit my teeth thinking about that prick touching her.

"Thank you for coming for me."

"Jess we would never leave you behind."

I see her smile

"I can't believe she's back."

I look in the back seat and smiled.

I see him holding her with his legs wraps around her legs stroking her hairs and ears giving pepper kisses all over her. I could tell she was calming down by the second.

"Did they make up?"

"Yeah it looks like it."

"Good I'm very happy to hear that."

I look around.

I see a hoodie.

'Ehh it's that guys hoodie. Well that's a shame.'

I grabbed it and cleaned the blood off the seat. 

I rolled down the window and threw the hoodie out.

I hear her chuckle.

"I would have burned the hoodie but I like your way better."

"Is that really the guy that kissed you?"

"Don't remind me."

"Are you okay?"

"No Kyle, my first kiss was stolen by that asshole who shot my best friend with a blue ball that made her turn savage."

I tensed.

"What did you say?"

"Yeah, I never kissed anyone Kyle you know that."

"N-no... The... Last part?"

"Oh uhh Molly told me what happened. She saw him shoot her before she went savage."

"Wait...with that same gun?"

She touched her gun holster and nodded. I tensed looking at the gun. 

"J-Jess... Isn't that too dangerous to carry around."

She handed the gun to me.

"Hit the button on the side."

I hit the button and see no ammo.

I look up at her see her smiling at me.

"He did have ammo but..."

She pulled something out of her shirt pocket.

My eyes widen.

"That's the thing that's making everyone go crazy?"

"Yup."

"I'll keep it safe though."

"Wait so... What are you doing with this evidence?"

"We are going to Zootopia and showing it to the world."

"Are we almost there?"

"Yeah."

"Good, I hope everything can go back to normal."

"Kyle... It will... Don't worry."

I look over at her feeling my heart ache.

'Why can't I tell her how I feel?'

"Hey Kyle?"

I look over and see her look over at me.

"We will be the same right?"

I tensed up.

"Y-yeah.. Why?"

"I was just wondering.."

"Is there something you want to tell me Jess?"

She tensed up blushing causing my heart throb out of my chest.

'Did Molly tell Jess?'

"Jess... Did Molly tell you something?"

I see her face get more red.

'Damn it!!! How could she tell her!'

"Jess I don't know what she told you but..." she cut me off.

"She didn't tell me anything..."

I tensed up again looking at her confused.

"I thought I was going to die. She saw me and she slowly came back. Like it was wearing off but I said some things because I thought they were my last words."

I felt my mouth gap slightly.

"What did you say?"

I see her look really nervous then her eyes widen looking ahead.

"Oh... My god..."

"What?"

I look and felt my heart sink.

I see a sign.

'Welcome to Zootopia.'

"Kyle... Its so beautiful."

I look over at her seeing her in awe.

I felt a smile crawl on my face.

'Not as beautiful as you.'
