I Ran Away and Now I'm Here

[iMeisaki]

Rayes was amused by the size of the house. This house was almost the same size as her old house but it looked so much more peaceful. "You have a really nice home." She said. Rayes tiredness was growing on her now and she had to look down at her feet to keep her awake.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Yea..." He smiled. "Come on. Lets get you inside." He helps the gi- no, Rayes up the stairs. "Hold on..." He felt her get weak, and drift into sleep. "Just a few more steps...."

 

[iMeisaki]

She yawned and wrapped her am around his to get up the stairs. Rayes started leaning her head on his shoulder while slowly pacing up the stairs. "Okay..." She said and she started going up the steps. They seemed so far away from her, she felt like she wasn't going to make it up the stairs.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Come on...." He smiled. "One more step....." He helped her up. "You can sleep then...." He patted and rubbed her back. She would make it, and get the healing she deserved. Something that seemed long distant.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes seemed surprised by the way Leland was treating her, she wasn't used to being treated so nicely. She didn't even realize that when she kicked one of the gang members, one of her cuts that her father gave her split open and became an open wound again on her leg. Rayes looked down but didn't say anything about it but only responded with "Thank you Leland, for tonight."

 

[gogojojo331]

"You're welcome...." He opened the door, not noticing the blood on the stairs. He then guided her into a living room, with a long couch and and tables, and tv set. It looked like:

He laid her body out on the couch. "Come on..." He said. "Get some rest."

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes looked around thinking that the house was really pretty and very calming. She didn't want to get the couch dirty with her wet clothes and bloody leg. "Are you sure I should lay down on your couch? I'll get it dirty..I just don't want to mess it up." As she was laying down on the couch her side started hurting her more and she put both of her hands on the side. "I'm just concerned about getting your house dirty, I don't want to mess it up."

 

[gogojojo331]

"ITS fine...." He said. "Are you bleeding?" He unzipped the coat, and looked her shirt, noticing her chest pain... Did she open up a wound somewhere? He looked, and saw blood on her pant leg.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Yea...I'm um fine though, it doesn't hurt. It'll heal itself." Rayes started looking around to see if Leland's mother was there. "Is your mother home?" She asked.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Sleeping, probably." He said to her. "It is 9:30 pm, after all..." He looked at her body. No wounds at all. He didn't look at her leg. Probably a small cut....

 

[iMeisaki]

"Okay..I'm not tired though.." She gave a small laugh. She was thinking to herself that it was a miracle that Leland found her. She has more time to be away and more time to think about where she will go.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Dont lie...." He chuckled. "You looked like you were gonna pass out on the stairs." He went to go upstairs. "Gonna change my clothes...." He said, smiling.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Okay, have fun.." She giggled. Rayes watched Leland go upstairs and once she couldn't see him anymore, she sat up and took her phone out turning off all of her location trackers so her parents couldn't find her. She did the same to her iPod too. She sighed looking at her phone with her best friend Tess. Tess had died a year before Rayes left. Rayes promised Tess that she would get both of them out of her hometown so they could be runaways together. Tess had died of cancer though and before she died, she told Rayes to go on without her and that she would take care of her when she was gone. Rayes looked at the picture on her phone and sighed. "Oh Tess..what will I do without you..?" Rayes put a hand on her head and put her phone back.

He came back downstairs with a Nirvana t-shirt that he got from his father, and black shorts. "You looking at your phone?" he said. "Wanna call someone?"

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes looked up surprised that Leland was so quick to change. "Oh uh no, just checking it and switching some options on it. I think I'm going to change out of my wet clothes to, may I use your restroom?" She asked.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Of course." He said. "Ill get some snacks for us!" he said to her, going into the kitchen,

 

[iMeisaki]

As Rayes went into the bathroom, she locked the door behind her and started changing. As she was taking her shirt off, she saw how boney she was and all the bruises and cuts were on her. Her knee had a really deep cut and she had to stop it from bleeding. She took some toilet paper and wrapped it around her leg. Once she was done she started crying again thinking of how bad it is right now and that she has to fix her life now. She tried to keep her crying low. "Oh god..this is so bad, my god damned leg."

 

[gogojojo331]

He came closer, noticing her cry. He waited to hear what was going on, so he stayed a safe distance where he could hear, but not be seen

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes started to change into denim shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt. Then she wiped off her tears and washed her face. Then she came out from the restroom and went back to the couch. "So what snacks did you pick?"

 

[gogojojo331]

"Oh, yea" he said. "Chips and salsa.....that good for you?" he looked quizzically.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Yea thats fine, thanks again." She smiled. As she was heading to the couch she was looking at her surroundings, enjoying it. As she sat on the couch she only took one chip and ate it. She didn't want to eat too much because then she would have to perform her anorexic actions.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Unmm...." He looked at her. "Do you want more?" He moved the bowl closer to her. "You need to get your energy back..."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Oh..No. I'm fine for now, I'm not that hungry anyway. Thanks though." She looked down at her hands on her lap and realized that the blood from her leg was going to through her shorts.

 

[gogojojo331]

"You got a cut?" He looked. "Let me see..."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Uh..Sure.." Rayes started pulling up her shorts a little bit. She revealed the bloodied toilet paper on her leg. She took it off slowly revealing a straight line gash across her leg. The gash wasn't too big that would put her in danger but it was pretty bad that it had to be tended to.
