Leaving Pain (TLB SEQUEL )

Leaving Pain : Part 14

So hi guys! its me . well this storeh is almost ending so stay tuned to the other chapters c:

Leo kept running until he found himself in the park he encountered Carly in. He looked behind him to make sure Kaylin and Jack weren't following him. Thankfully, no one was following Leo. He sat on one of the park benches because he wanted to catch his breath and his legs felt as though they were going to give out.

Once Leo had finally caught his breath, he threw his head back on the back of the bench and let his body relax. As Leo watched the clouds go by, he began to think about his current situation. Unfortunately, since Leo escaped Jack and Kaylin, Leo felt pretty sure that Jack would go back and tell Leo's former friends that he ran away from them. Then his former friends would proceed to call the police and say he ran away.

Leo sighed. There was no possible way for him to stay with Ashley's family any longer. If he stayed with them, they would eventually find out his secret. They might also be disappointed with him. Leo didn't want that.

Leo sighed again. What was he going to do?

Without him noticing it, someone sat down on the bench next to Leo. Leo did not even look to see who was sitting next to him. He was too frustrated to care.

"What's wrong with you?" Leo looked at the person next to him. The person next to Leo turned out to be a man in his early forties. The man had a plain white shirt and black trousers. He had green eyes and graying black hair. He also looked a bit concerned.

"I'm just a little stressed," Leo answered without much hesitation.

The man chuckled slightly. "You're too young to be feeling stressed.

"Why are you stressed if you don't mind me asking?" The man asked.

Leo hesitated. He didn't think it was very smart to tell strangers his problems, but he also needed an outlet. Leo didn't want to tell him the whole truth because it would probably result in this stranger calling the police and forcing him back home. So he decided to tell a lie. "Well, you see there's this story I am writing. The story is about a boy who ran away from home because he feels as though he is being left out of everything and that his twin sister doesn't care for him anymore. The boy that ran away is taken in by a family for the summer because he happens to bump into a girl who is nice enough to offer this boy she doesn't even know a place to stay at the family's house. He explains his situation to this girl and she tries her best to help him keep his secret. The next day, the family takes this boy to his favorite restaurant to officially welcome him. Unfortunately for the boy, the people he was running away from are also there at the restaurant. The boy soon realizes this and tries, with the help of the girl who took him in, to not be caught by the people he ran away from. Several times, the boy is almost caught, but he manages to leave the restaurant with the family without being caught. So, the family and the boy go to the family's house and rest. After resting and waking up from a nightmare, the boy who ran away asks the girl who took him in if he could go for a walk. Hesitantly, the girl says it's fine, but wants him to be careful so that he doesn't run into the people he was trying to run away from. As the boy is on his walk and deep in thought, one of the people he was trying to run away from, accompanied by another person, spots him and begins to chase after him. The boy tries to run away from the two, but ends up in a dead end and being dragged toward where the boy used to live. As the boy is being dragged along, he begins to think of ways to get out of one of the person tightening grip. The three of them stop at a traffic light post and a woman happens to be standing in front of the boy. The boy developed an idea, one he did not like in particular, but thought it was his only means of escape. So the boy squeezes the woman's thigh and the woman, thinking that the person responsible was the person holding onto the boy, punches that person in the face. The person holding onto the boy let go of the boy because of the pain in their face. The boy uses this as his opportunity to escape and runs in the opposite direction he was being dragged in. The two other people couldn't follow him because the crowd they were standing in started to move against them. So, the boy manages to escape the two and run all the way to the park nearest the family's, the family that took him in, house.
