I Ran Away and Now I'm Here

He chuckled, and pet her.

After a few more hours passed, Rayes woke up and saw them in the neighborhood. "It's that house at the end." She pointed.<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_08/4640393700_7e2cca9811_z.jpg.235cfe7e39edf487334e646cb1b754e8.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="28346" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_08/4640393700_7e2cca9811_z.jpg.235cfe7e39edf487334e646cb1b754e8.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p> 
The house was old and the side was starting to turn green. Even though they had maids and butlers. They didn't know how to maintain the house. Now, Rayes father was dying so no one wanted to take care of the house.

He smiled

 

[iMeisaki]

Her faced turned into disgust. She hated coming back but she was forced to. "Great..." She said. 
The car came to a stop and Rayes got out. She wasn't ready to go back in that house. She waited a few minutes and laid down on the grass in the front yard.

 

[gogojojo331]

He got out as well. "U wanna go in first, or should I?"

 

[iMeisaki]

"No, I'll go in first. Just give me some time. I'll guarantee that she'll slap me when I introduce you because she's upset that I didn't like the guy she wanted me to marry. Like she can control me and make me marry someone I don't know. Uh hello?! This is the 21st century not the 1800's." She said lying on the ground with her hands covering her face.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Best if I go then..." He sighed. He had seen them in trial when he testified.

 

[iMeisaki]

"No, don't. I'll do it." She lifted herself up and got up from the ground. She then got her bags and and went up to the stairs. She hesitated to knock the door so she just stood there.

 

[gogojojo331]

He waited

 

[iMeisaki]

She looked at him like she was scared. But then she went back to the door and knocked. She waited for a few seconds until the door opened. "Rayes? It's good to see you." The maid said. "Hi Jessie, it's nice to see you too." Jessie started getting emotional and hugged Rayes. Clearly she must have missed her. "I really missed you Rayes, it truly wasn't the same." She said. "Yea..I'm sorry.." Rayes said.

 

[gogojojo331]

He waited for his turn to jump in .

 

[iMeisaki]

"Who's this handsome man?" Jessie asked. "This is my boyfriend. Leland." She smiled toward him. 
"Very nice to meet you Leland." Jessie smiled

 

[gogojojo331]

"Nice to meet you too..." He said, hand outstretched for a handshake

 

[iMeisaki]

Jessie shook his hand. "Why don't you two come in? We are all glad you two are here. Well the rest of us. I don't know if the masters are too ecstatic about Rayes.." She said carefully with a handkerchief in her hand. "Sure Jessie, I need to see my father first.." Rayes replied.

 

[gogojojo331]

He went in quietly, and sat down.

 

[iMeisaki]

"I gotta go see my father. If you have a problem with anyone. Come to me okay?" She kissed him and headed off into the room where her father was on his death bed.

 

[gogojojo331]

He sat, and waited.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes entered the room and saw her father reading the newspaper. He looked terrible but still acted the same. "Hi father. I see your condition has grown worse.." She said sitting on the chair next to the bed.


"Rayes. I already know what you're thinking. You want the money. Well if you want it, you're gonna wait. I know my time is coming but I hate to break it to you sweetheart. If you want to start getting it. You're gonna have to start modeling again." He gave her an evil smirk knowing that Rayes hated modeling.


"You know, I'd think you would much nicer to me after what happened." She grew angrier. She heard footsteps into the room. It was her mother.


"So, who's the boy? Can't believe he fell for you.." She said while eating a grape.


"Sorry mother but I'm not interested in that tool you call a nice man." She started laughing. Next thing you know, her mother slapped her.


"You ungrateful child!" She hit her again and Rayes pushed her into the wall holding her cheek. Rayes cheek started bleeding but Rayes wasn't going to fight or harm her mother.

 

[gogojojo331]

He started hearing the noise, and rushed upstairs, and seeing the door as locked, kept opening the lock.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Mother stop!" She grabbed her wrist just before she was going to hit her again. Her mother was trying to break free but Rayes was too strong for her.


"Melissa stop right now. You'll get in trouble. We're on probation, remember?" He said.


Her mother ripped her hand out of Rayes grip and unlocked the door. "Just go to your room Rayes." She said in a tone.


Rayes opened the door and saw Leland. She had her hand on her cheek and blood was going through her hand.

 

[gogojojo331]

He held her hand. "We are going home." He said, looking at the parents. "Right now. We are going to call the police. You both will go to jail."

 

[iMeisaki]

"No Leland..it's alright." She sighed and moved her hair. She went towards her room. "I need the money so I just don't care anymore.." She said putting her hand on the door knob to her room.

 

[gogojojo331]

"No!" He said, stopping her hand. "If you go, all we fought for... All we went through... All you went through... Will be for nothing. You'll be letting them win..." He guided her down the stairs.

 

[iMeisaki]

"All we went through would be for the money. I don't mean to sound greedy but this would be an easy way of living instead of having to struggle! I'm tired of struggling Leland. I've been like that all my life and now I just want it easy." She let go of his hand and looked down.

 

[gogojojo331]

Tears formed in his eyes. "W-What happened to you, rayes...." He looked away, and turned around. His emotions were a mix of betrayal, and regret, love, and anger.
