You've had enough of your toxic blood relatives and your past, so you run away from home. You end up at a Wal-Mart where you encounter someone you know from before. Fearing you'll end up being brought back to your house to deal with your father and...
Everyone else went home to pack while Eddie booked the hotel and plane tickets. I went upstairs and packed my backpack with everything I had, since I didn't bring much with me when I ran away, basically just the essentials. Gabby then came in my room. "Hey Echo, don't forget to bring a swimsuit." She told me. "Um... I don't... Have one... Unfortunately." I told her. "Oh right, you ran away from home, I should of known." She said. "How about we go shopping for one?" "Yeah! Let's go!" I said in excitement. I then got dressed.
(Yep, Narrator inspired outfit, thought it would be cool.)

Gabby and I told Narrator and Eddie we'd do some swimsuit shopping real quick and left to go to Wal-Mart.
(Edit: Removed the original outfits I had here, since I'd rather leave that up to you readers)
We got my stuff and we went to go checkout. Gabby then pulled me to the side real quick. "What-What's wrong?" I asked her. She pointed off to the side. It was My sister. We bolted to the check out lanes and went into the express line. We got my stuff checked out and we were then leaving Wal-Mart. Suddenly, we heard someone yell "HEY!" We turned around and we saw my sister speed walking towards us. "WE GOTTA GO!!" I warned Gabby and we bolted out of there. We got to Gabby's car and she drove us out of there. We took a long detour home incase if she followed us. We pulled to the side of the road and hid our car for a good 10 minutes, just to make sure there wasn't anyone behind us. The coast was clear so she drove back on the road and we drove back home. We parked the car in the garage just to be safe, and went inside.
We got in somewhat out of breath from running earlier, and from the adrenaline rush. Narrator and Eddie then rushed in and hugged us. "Are you girls ok? What happened?" Eddie asked us. "We saw Heather at Wal-Mart." I said. "Who?" Narrator ask us. "Is that your sister's name?" Gabby asked me. "Y-Yeah, my sister. Heather's my sister's name." I answered. Narrator and Eddie then took us upstairs to go to bed, it was like, 1 in the morning after all, yeah we really went shopping at 1 in the morning, but hey, less people to have anxiety around, am I right? Plus, the sooner we get ready, the sooner we can go on vacation and get away from my blood relatives.
Eddie POV:
I took Gabby upstairs with me to go to bed, and she still seemed tense, so I talked with her for a bit. "Hey Gabby, you ok hun?" I asked her. "Yeah, just kind of freaked out because of Echo's sister, that's all." She told me. "It's ok Gabby." I tucked her hair behind her ear. "We'll get away from her and David (Echo's father's name) soon, I promise." I reassured her. I gave her a kiss on her head and we went to bed. I then fell asleep holding the love of my life in my arms. (THIS IS SO PANCAKE FLIPPING ADORABLE AAAAAHH)
Narrator POV:
Echo was still panicking from seeing her sister at Wal-Mart earlier, so I wanted to reassure her she'll be safe. "Don't worry honey bunch, we'll get away from those psychos soon enough, and we'll go to Erie and have fun, don't worry." I told her. "Yeah, you're right, just, still on the edge, that's all, thank you though." She said. "You're welcome honey bunch." I told her.
"He-Hey Dad?" I just felt my soul light up again hearing her call me Dad. "What is it, honey bunch?" I asked her. "Could... I possibly... Stay in your room with you tonight? I-I'm still scared from earlier. It's fine if you don't want me in there though." She asked me. "Of course you can honey bunch, I don't mind at all." "Really?" She seemed so happy it was adorable. "Of course you can honey bunch!" I told her. She then hugged me really tightly. "Thanks Dad!" She then went to her room, I guess to get in her PJ's, she then came back in her PJ'S with a blanket and pillow. "Ok, I'm ready!" She said, she's so precious I don't know how her blood relatives don't see it in her like I do. I insisted that she take my bed for the night, and she went to sleep. I then got some blankets on the floor to make it a bit more comfortable and I went to sleep.

Echo POV:
I woke in Narrator's room, but Narrator, wasn't in here. I got up and brought my pillow and blanket with me back to my room. I took a shower and got changed into my favorite outfit.
I got my pillow and blanket packed in my backpack and went downstairs.
Everyone else was at the dining room table eating breakfast.

Everyone was just having something quick and easy to make, so I just got some strawberries and Vanilla Yogurt (It is delicious as heck.). We finished eating and got the dishes washed We got everything in the car to go to the airport. Then everyone got in the car. Narrator drove with Eddie in the passenger seat while Gabby and I sat in the back. We texted everyone else making sure they were ready and we headed to the airport.
And that my Cinnamon rolls is Chapter 9 of Finding Home. The next chapter will probably just be the gang going to the airport and Going to Erie, however, I'm not 100% solid that's what's gonna happen, but imma just roll with it. Ok, hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I'll see you in the next one, bye!
