I Ran Away and Now I'm Here

He looked at her. "Because I heard your crying, and it felt like a sign... That my life was going to be diffrent. no more straight lines in my life, you know?" he sighed. "I sound stupid...."

 

[iMeisaki]

"No, you don't sound stupid. I understand you actually, like you needed a turn of events in your life." She started looking towards the ground thinking that Leland sounded like herself. "Great, it's starting to rain. Just so damn wonderful.." Rayes clothes were already worn out, dirty, and started ripping. Now on top of that, she was going to be a wet cat.

He took off his jacket, revealing his white T-shirt underneath. "Use this." He smiled.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes paused and looked at his jacket and then his eyes and then back at his jacket. She slowly brought out her hand and wrapped the jacket around her arms. "Thanks." As she looked down and gave him a quick half-smile.

 

[gogojojo331]

"No problem." He looked up, as the rain started to pour on him, revealing part of his chest. "well..." He sighed.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes was in awe because she's never been this close to someone before because her parents suspend her from going to a real school and meeting regular children. So she was homeschooled and only knew people from the town she lived in. Rayes started to blush when she saw Lelands chest, she decided to bring her face down so he couldn't see her blush. She tried to think fast by asking another question. "So how far is the place you live in?"

 

[gogojojo331]

"A couple of blocks, actually..." He chuckled. "Its a normal two story house, with a cool arcade basement my dad used to play in!"

 

[iMeisaki]

"Hmph..That seems very nice." She smiled. "Do you and you father still play down there?" She questioned him just to make time go by.

 

[gogojojo331]

"No...." He said. "He Died recently...." He sighed. "Suicide.... and....." He remembered finding it first.....the face of him..... staring into his soul.....

 

[iMeisaki]

She looked surprised and felt very sad. "Oh I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to bring it up. I'm sorry." She looked down thinking to herself that she was so stupid to ask a question like that.

 

[gogojojo331]

"No." He said. "I brought it up.....I-" Thunder and lightning hit, and he jumped up. "AH!" he said.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes gasped. "Do you think we are clear to go now? I don't want to sit in the rain anymore." She smiled with a small giggle.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Y-yea...." He said. He was never a fan of the rain. He got up slowly, and outstretched his hand.

 

[iMeisaki]

As Rayes got up she started patting herself down and quickly noticed she was missing something. "Oh crap, um, I need to go back to where we were before. Stay here I'll be right back. I have to get my bag, I'll be two minutes. Promise." Rayes started to turn around pacing fast back to the alleyway she was at before.

 

[gogojojo331]

He stood outside, patiently waiting for her.

 

[iMeisaki]

As she started walking back to the spot where her bag was, she picked it up and realized she wasn't alone. It was the gang that she saw before and they started pacing towards her. Minutes passed and she started to panic. She was taking longer than expected and she was afraid of what was going to happen next. One of the gang members had called to her, "Hey baby, why don't you stick around over here?" he started laughing. Rayes eyes started to widened.

 

[gogojojo331]

Leland came around the corner. "Hey!" He said to the gang members. "Leave her alone...."

 

[iMeisaki]

The gang members started laughing and said, "Hey Punk, what are you gonna do about it?" They gang members started to walk towards Rayes and Leland. Rayes blurted out, "Hey screw you guys!" and then whispered to Leland, "We have to go." Rayes kicked one the gang members in the shin and he tumbled down. The gang member that went down shouted, "You little bitch! You'll pay for that!" Rayes took Leland's hand and started running. "So where to?!" she asked him while running.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Take a left!!" HE said to her, and ran down, taking the lead down the street. He hoped they did not have a gun of any kind.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes started looking back and she didn't see anyone following them. But she thought that they should keep running. "How much longer till will make it?!" 
*till we make it?!"

 

[gogojojo331]

"Almost there!!" He said, looking back for good measure. They seemed most of them were gone at this point. "We are losing them...."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Okay, at least we are almost there. GAH!" Rayes suddenly gasped and put her hand on the left side of her stomach. Her sides were killing her because she didn't eat all day and her anorexia was starting to kick in by hurting her on the inside. Rayes put her other hand on the wall leaning trying to catch her breath again.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Whats wrong?" he said, helping her up, slowing down the pace. "Did you get hurt?"

 

[iMeisaki]

"No..no. I'm fine, just a pinch of pain came. I'll be fine. Lets just keep going." She took her hand off the wall and started following Leland again.

 

[gogojojo331]

"All right...." He said, moving , holding her close. Within a few minutes, they were both at the doorsteps of the house, sweaty, panting and wet.
