Eden slept for a few more minutes before hearing something coming from the kitchen and waking up, sitting and looking around for Noah. Getting up, she cautiously followed the noise and found Noah making something. She came behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hey," she murmured.

Noah smiled when he felt Eden's hand around him. "Hi." He said has he steered the grits. "I hope you are hungry." He added has he turned his attention to the eggs and sausage.

"Mm," Eden said, watching him. "I am, actually." She chuckled a bit, glancing from each pan that Noah had going. "I didn't know you could cook so well." Sure, he had made the pancakes the day before, but those were easy.

Noah softly laughed at Eden's words. "My mom showed me how to cook...." He said has he finished the eggs, he then got some plates and started putting the food onto them.

"Lucky you," Eden murmured, not meaning it to come out rude. She blushed and shook her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that." She sighed, pulling her arms from Noah and covering her face with a hand. "My mom was too busy drinking to pay mind to what was going on with me, let alone teach me to cook."

Noah looked over at Eden and kissed her head. "Well i can teach you." He said before he went and put the full plates on the kitchen table. "...but right now come eat." He said with a smirk.

Eden nodded and followed Noah to the table, smiling at his offer as she sat down with him. "Thanks, for this. I know... I know it was a bad start, but it doesn't matter now."

Noah sighed and looked down. "i am sorry for that." He said. He know that she wouldnt never forgive him for the way he treated her before.

Eden pursed her lips, taking his hands and holding them. "I forgive you, Noah," she said earnestly. "I hurt you, too." She averted looking at him.

Noah looked up at Eden with a smirk, it was like she always knew the right words to say to him, he nodded. "I hope its good." He said starting to eat.

Eden gave a sideways grin and nodded, starting to pick at her food as well. "I'm sure it will be better than I could do," she retorted with a chuckle, scooping food into her mouth.

Noah softly laughed. "Well with time youll get the hang of it." He said before putting a spoon full of food in his mouth.

Eden swallowed and said, "That's an extremely hopeful prospect." After a few more bites, she said, "It really is good."

Noah smirked and nodded. "Thanks." He said. A few minutes later, Noah was done with his plate and he slowly found himself staring at Eden. But he could hope it, she was beautiful that he found it hard not to.

Eden finished her plate as well, unaware of Noah's staring. She took a drink of water before she noticed his handsome gaze, and she blushed. "What?" she asked, worried he had seen her pigging out or something.

"Its nothing." He said with a smirk and stood up and took his and her plate to the sink and washed them. After he was done, he leaned onto the counter and glanced at Eden. "So when would you like to leave?" He asked.

"Uh..." Eden stood up, remembering the conversation from the night before. "Wow, um... I don't know. Soon? When would it be okay?" Her mind flashed to the fact that her ankle still had its' chain, and wondered if Noah was going to let her off of it for when they left.

Noah nodded to the idea of leaving soon, he really didnt have anything really keeping him here. "How about today, we head out?" He asked, looking out the kitchen window, then back at Kyla.

Eden's face lit up and she nodded so quickly it looked like she was trying to shake her head off. "That sounds good. What do we need to do?"

"I just need to pack a couple of my clothes." He answered putting his hand onto Eden cheek. "ooo yeah, i need to buy you some clothes, unless you dont mind wearing my clothes a the time." He added teasing her.

"Well, like this, I might get arrested," Eden teased back, gesturing to the shirt of his that barely brushed her thighs. "Clothes for me is probably a good idea."

Noah softly laughed before nodded. "Okay well, we have to get this off you first." He said before getting on his knees and started unlocking the chain that was still on Eden's ankle. The chain dropped onto the floor after he unlocked it, he stood up and kissed Eden's cheek. "Your free." He said before he walked passed her and walked into his room. He got a suitcase from under his bed and put it on his bed, he started packing.

Eden's heart skipped a bit when he let the chain off of her ankle, and for a moment she just stared down before she dropped into a crouch and she rubbed the skin around where the binding had been. She jumped up and walked into the room with Noah, trying to help by folding the shirts and pants he had grabbed.

Noah noticed that Eden was folding his clothes. He stopped and stared at her, a smirk came on his face. She looked beautiful to him. He softly laughed and went back to packing, and took a second glance at Eden. He then grabbed one of his shirts and some random pants, he handed them to Eden. "Here so you can go with to the store so you can pick at your own clothes." He said, has he softly smirked and went back to packing.

Eden snorted, setting the clothes back down. "I can just wear what I had earlier- there's nothing wrong with them." She had set her old clothes down on a table in Noah's room, so she finished helping him pack and grabbed them to go change.

Noah nodded and looked at Eden a few times before he closed his suitcase. "Go head then." He said with a smirk.

Eden paused, pondering why Noah kept giving her that smirk, but she shrugged and headed to the bathroom to change. A moment later she emerged, the borrowed shirt laid over her arm. She met Noah back in his room and hefted a happy sigh. "What else?"

He put his suitcase down on the floor and put on a snap-back hat. "Nothing." He said, walking out the door. "..Come on." He added holding out his hand for Eden.

Eden smirked at the way the hat looked cute on Noah as she took his offered hand and let him lead her out of the house, running a hand through her loose hair.

Has they walked to the car, Noah let go of Eden's hand and put his arm around her neck, and softly kissed her cheek. He opened the passenger door of the car moved aside to let Eden get in. He closed the door and unlocked the trunk and he quickly put his suitcase in it. He sighed and looked at his house, the house that he lived in since he could remember. He sighed at the memories that the house held of his parents. He closed his eyes for a moment before he walked back to the house and into his room and got a picture of him and his parents had took together before they had died. He took it out the photo case and walked back outside. He closed and locked the door behind himself, and started went back to the car and closed the trunk. He then got into the drove side and he put the picture next to the steering wheel, and started the car.

Eden sat in the car with her hands folded in her lap as she waited patiently for Noah. Her fists shook slightly as the reality of leaving -even for just a bit- sunk in. After a while she was confused as to why Noah was gone so long, but she sat up when he got in the chair. Eden looked to his picture and gave a slight frown, sympathetically taking his hands and kissing his temple.

Noah sightly smiled has he felt Eden's lip on his skin. He turned toward her and kissed her head. He then started driving off, he sighed has he slightly looked at his house in the review mirror. But he is attention went back in front of him.

Esen turned her head to look back at Noah's house, thinking of what he might have just left for her. "We don't have to leave, Noah. You don't. Honestly I should just go, I shouldn't make you take me." She dropped her head and closed her eyes, pulling her hands back into her lap.

Noah stopped the car at a red light, he looked over at Eden and he put a hand on her lap. "Eden its fine." He said, he know that it hurt to leave but wanted to. He been in this small town since he was a little kid. So this could be he is only chance.

Eden nodded as she took his hand an brought it to her lips. "Thank you," she whispered against them, closing her ryes as she pushed out the bad memories from the town.

"Welcome." He said, has the light turned green. He pushed on the gas slightly. He had once finally had what he wanted out of life.

Leaning her head back into the seat, Eden asked quietly, "So where first? After clothes, I mean."

"Its your choice, Eden." He answered not really caring has all has he was leaving here with Eden. He keep driving until they got to the mall. He sighed rubbing his head before getting out the car and walking towards Eden's side. He opened the door for her and held out his hand for her.

Eden paused before taking Noah's hand, having been distracted with thinking about where they could go. Her cheeks reddened and she took his hand and pulled herself out of the car. "Sorry."

Noah shook his head with a smile. "Its fine." He said has he closed the car door behind Eden and started walking towards the mall. He let go of his Eden hand to her feel free for once since kidnapped her two weeks ago.

As soon as Noah dropped Eden's hand, worry that she would be seen by someone who knew her and thought she had run away flooded her head. She murmured the name Jodie and decided it would be her alias in case she did bump into somebody.

.

"Get whatever you want." Noah said following behind Eden, he didnt really know the best female stores. So he thought it would be best if he just followed her.

Eden shrugged and walked into a Zumiez. "Okay," she called, pausing to pick up Noah's hand again. She nodded a hello at the kid standing at the desk and bobbed her head to the metalcore playing in the speakers as she picked through some symbolically-skater girl sundresses.

Noah let go of Eden hand once again, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He softly kissed her cheek before he too started bobbing his head to the metalcore song.

Eden smirked against Noah's kiss and pulled away just to hold the blue-black dress up to her to show to Noah. "What do you think?" she asked with a thoughtful frown.

Noah smirked has he stretched his head and looked over the dress. "Ummm its cute." He answered, he wasnt use to shopping with a girl. So he didnt know what to say.

Eden snorted a laugh while she rolled her eyes, draping the dress over her arm. "Thanks for the input," she said sweetly, flipping through the other dresses. Though she wasn't much of a dress girl, so she motioned Noah to follow her to the women's jeans rack.

Noah nodded and followed. Has he followed Eden, he learned more and more about her style in clothes. He shouldnt stop staring at her look at stuff and decide to put it back for whatever reason. He softly laughed ever time that happen.

((Is it okay that I just skip to after they're done in the mall?))

Eden had tried hard to hurry through the shopping, though whether it was of boredom herself or to not annoy Noah, it couldn't be told. She only ran into one guy who recognized her, so she pasted on an angry face and a weird accent and hissed, "My name is Jodie," before she pushed past him as she pulled Noah behind her. When they'd finished shopping she grabbed one of the bags and excused herself to change in a women's restroom, coming back out with a black beanie that matched her hair, a purple flannel and skinnies. She raised her eyebrows at Noah with a smirk. "Thanks again. Ready?"
