Chapter 1 4/10

“Yeah, we should. If they are those guys, they now know we ran from them.” Johnathan said in between breaths. She put her hands on his shoulders. “No Johnathan, we need to leave, the state, or even the country.” He was confused. “I mean they’re scumbags, but I don’t think we have to leave the state because of it.” He said shrugging his shoulders. Abby let go of him. “I…I don’t think they were… I don’t think they were just kidnapers.” She said in an almost panicked voice. [I figured as much. I already texted uncle. Your boyfriend needs to come with us since they saw him with us.]
“H-he isn’t my, f-forget it.” She said, covering her face. At least it doesn’t sound like she’s panicking anymore. “what? What did he say?” Johnathan asked. “He said you have to come with us. These guys are dangerous, since they want to destroy any evidenc- “I shook my head. “right, sorry. Anyways, if you’re not coming with us, you have to forget you knew us.” Abby said with a sad voice. “It’s that serious!? Is that the F.B.I? What did you guys do?” Johnathan asked panicking.
“we don’t know who they are. All we know is, they… they’re after us and won’t leave us alone.” Abby stated. Johnathan looked upset. “Then they’d want to kill me? since I saw them? I-I need to get my mom! A-and my sister! They could be in danger.” Abby looked at me. [Uncle said our stuff are ready to go. We can spare some minutes to help him.] She nodded. “alright, text your mom to get ready. Don will go with you and I’ll get uncle.” [What! We can’t split up. That’s dangerous.] “I’ll be fine Don, just help Johnathan, will you?”. [you and I know that’s a bad idea. We stick together so…]
but she already ran off. *sigh* “s-so It looks like I’m stuck with you… heh”. I rolled my eyes. I motioned for him to go. He nodded and we ran off… About 5 minutes later we got to his house. Well, the back of his house. He motioned for me to follow him. We both hopped the fence into his backyard, then he unlocked the backdoor, letting both us in. There his mother was waiting for us. “pack our things we’re leaving? And who is this? Young man What have you gotten yourself into this time?!” she said in a scolding mother voice. “mom, mom, I can explain” he pleaded.
“not this again. You said the same thing two month ago! If I have to pay for another building you vandalized, no, you’re gonna have to get a job, cause I’m not paying again.” I look at him. “I swear that’s the past man” he whispered to me. Just what did he do to make his mother upset like this. [excuse me jonathans mother, but this is urgent.] She looked me. “oh. H-he doesn’t speak. His he okay?” she asked. “I-I don’t know. But mom this is serious. The girl I like, and her brother here is in danger, and we may be in danger too.” He said.
