I woke up at 7 am to get ready. I put my hair into a messy bun, put my glasses on then changed into a pair of leggings, my favorite tank top and my sweat shirt over it, tennis shoes, I put my flip flops in the back pack along with undergarments and bathing suits, mask's, and packed a few last minuet things, put my phone in my purse, and got ready to leave. Making sure I had everything including chargers. On my way out of the huge house, I peeked into my dads room and saw he was still asleep. I quietly went over to him and kissed his forehead. I grabbed a banana for breakfast, put a mask on, stole some money from dad's wallet and put the rest of my money in my wallet and left.

The cab was outside and I quickly got into it. When we arrived at the air port, I got my ticket out of my bag and went to the security check. Once I was checked, I still had an hour before boarding so I went and got a raspberry mango smoothie and a Cinnamon sugar pretzel. I finished those and went to get JT and his family some things to thank them for letting me stay with them. They called for my plane to board so I handed the cashier some money and took the gifts to get to my plane.

I was the 5 person in line and took my assigned seat in the back window seat. A nice girl who looked like she was my age was seated next to me and she was alone and looked nervous. "Hi! I'm Jordan" "Hi I'm Emma." "Are you here by yourself?" We asked each other at the same time. We laughed and said "Yeah" "I'm 14." I said. "Me too!" she replied. "I think we are going to be great friends." "Me too" We sat in silence for about an hour and I started to text JT about how I met a new friend. "Why are you going to Texas? You don't have to tell me I was just curious." She asked. "I am running away. I am staying with my best friend." "Oh well if you ever need anything call me ok? I am visiting my best friend too." "That is so cool! Here's my number." I gave her my number and she gave me her number too. "What part of Texas are you going to?" I asked. "San Antonio. You?" "San Antonio too." She stated. We were silent for about an hour and I texted JT about Emma and told him they would be great friends. I wonder if our best friends know each other. "What is your best friends name?" I asked and took a sip of my water. "JT." I choked on my water. "Gray?!" I asked once I was done choking on my water. "Yeah do you know him?" "Yes he is my best friend I'm visiting for a while from London." The flight attendant came down the isle and told us we were landing and we were both surprised we talked for so long. 

   We walked off the plane and into the baggage claim together and walked out to car I got with Uber. We stayed quiet and we went to where she was saying wich was only a street from where JT was and so I decided to walk to JT's house instead of paying for a ride. "So I will see you later?" I asked hopefully. "Yeah ofc! Be careful walking there and have fun suprising him!" "Thanks! Ill text you later.. Bye!" And with that, I was off down the road. 

   After less than a five minuet walk, I was at their house. "Maybe I should just book a hotel." I muttered out loud hesitating to move from the side walk. Just then someone came out of the house with a garbage bag. "Suprise!" I said as I snuckk up on my best friend. He let out a high pitch yelp and almost punched me. "Jordan?! You are here early!" He said excitedly as he hugged me leaving the garbage bad forgotten on the driveway. He walked me inside after he put the trash away. "MOM! DAD!" He yelled to get their attention. They walked over and wondered who I was. "This is Jordan. She is who will be staying here for a little while." "Oh so you are the Jordan he told us about." His mom said. "Yeah. Thank you for letting me stay here!" I said shyly. Hoping they wouldn't kick me out. I will probably get a hotel in about a month.

         "Lets put your stuff in the room and get you settled." JT said excitedly leading me up the stairs. "This is my room and I cleared out half of my closet and you can pick top or bottom bunk." He said putting my suit case on the bottom bed. "Do you want help unpacking?" "Sure. Oh and  I almost forgot! This is for you and these are for your family. I wanted to thank you for letting me stay with you." He opened the small bag I gave him with his gift and he admired the small snow globe. "Wow! Thank you." He put the snow globe on his desk and walked back over to help me unpack. He got some hangars from his closet and we started hanging up my three pairs of jeans, my shirts, and skirt with my one dress. "Shoot!" "What?" "I forgot to pack PJ's! I can use my T-shirts but I cant sleep in jeans. I will just sleep in my leggings tonight and tomorrow Ill get a cab and go to the store." I said out loud thinking through my plan for the next day. "Wear theese." He said as a pair of athletics shorts and a T-shirt hit me in the face. "Oops." He said not sorry. I tried to glare at him but we just ended up laughing. 

     An hour later we had finished packing and we were now just laying around his room and laying on the bottom bunk. (Which I claimed). My phone buzzed and I thought it was Emma but it was my dad. 

(A/N Italics is the dad and  bold is Jordan)

   Where are you?

I am not going to tell you! I left to get away from that lonely house. Yeah you are there, but you never talk to me unless its time for dinner or something. My best friend is the only person who even talks to me! You wont let me go shopping unless I am with a body guard because you are to lazy to get up and take me!

You just dont understand why I do things.

Yeah I don't because you barely speak to me!

 I am trying to protect you!

Proctect me from what? Being lonely? Fail. Always thinking I am doing something wrong? Fail. Hateing myself? Double fail!

Ill tell you when you are old enough to understand! You are so immature! You left just like your mother did.

   A tear rolled down my face. He was right. I left just like my mother did. 

 I hate you. I would Rather be like her than you. You Isolate yourself and you didnt even text me to see if I was safe earlier wich means you don't care enough about me to check on me during the day and wake me up or you didnt even care to ask when you found out this morning. I bet you even celebrated that I left. I would rather at least love someone and be there for them than just be in the same room. I have a thing called love. I pity you for never having it.

   "Do you wanna do something?" "Yeah sure. What do you want to do?" "Want to watch a movie?" "Sure. What movie?" "I don't care. You pick" "Have you ever seen a Marvel Movie?" He asked getting excited. "No. What's a Marvel Movie?" He never answered my question but instead grabbed my laptop from the end of the bed and pushed it toward me to unlock it. He searched up something about a captain of America and had me get up so he could turn off the lights. He closed the door and grabbed blankets from the top bunk. 

 A few hours later it was dark outside and we had watched Capitian America The first avenger, Capitain Marvel, Iron man, and we were almost done with Iron Man 2 when someone knocked at the door. We had changed into our PJ's after Captain America. (I changed in the room and he changed in the bathroom.) "Come In!" Jt yelled as he paused the movie. "What are yall doing? I came in here to get the laundry" His mom said and when she saw me she laughed. I was currently curled up in a ball with three blankets over me with just my head poking out. JT of course was used to this cause I would do this all the time when we are face timing. Next time I will have him do it. 

   "Dinner will be ready in a few minuets." She said as she left the room leaving the door open a little. "We should probably go down for dinner but we are definitely finishing Iron man 2 before we go to bed." "Definitely" I stuck one leg of the bed and then the other and stood up. My arms were stuck in the blankets and they wouldn't come off. "Can you help me pleeeeeeeeaaasssseeeeee" I asked with a big smile. He grabbed the top of one blanket and I wiggled and pulled all the blankets off and they all fell. "Thank you!" I picked up all of the blankets and put them on the bed. My oversized shirt and sweat shirt had lifted up a little showing part of my stomach. "oops" I said as I fixed it and pulled the shirt and the hoodie back down. The shirt went to the middle of my thigh and the shorts almost went to my knees. I just realized how short I was. "Why are you so tall?" I asked as I followed him out of his room and down stairs to the dining room.
