run away -[sal fisher fan fic]-

1. goodbye old friend.

the doors flew open while me and sal were on our knees facing the door. we slowly rose our hands up high signaling we have given in. 

"drop the weapon!" the cop shouted

i slowly lowered the knife that was in my hand. as did sal. i took one last look at him. i could see the panic in his eyes as the cops ran at us and had our hands behind our backs.

but that's not a story for you to hear yet...

let's start at the beginning.

I inhaled the last bit of my cigarette which was followed by me throwing it down back at the ground and crushing it with my boot. 

"shit," I thought.

Me and my grandpa were moving to Nockfell soon. we needed to get out of this area because of how depressing it was. everyone always held their head low here. you would never be able to crack a smile on anyone's face. just sadness filled this town honestly. but the main reason we were leaving is that my parents were murdered last month. the police haven't caught the people responsible yet but I'm hoping they do. my grandpa started looking after me ever since. he's been pretty lonely since grandma died so it's cool to keep him company. he's very laid back. not really the one to pick a fight with you. so its been pretty easy.

i look up at the soft sunset. 

i guess it would have been harder if i actually had people to miss from here. 

"Hey, little dude," a voice said

i guess there's one person.

"oh hey will" i smiled hopping off the fence i was sitting on

"i was walking home when i noticed u were in a train of thought so i thought to talk to ya."

"while in train of thought?" i laughed

"well i mean i was hoping-" i cut him off

"save it loser. me and pops are moving."

will was really the only person who gave two fucks about me. we met at camp a few years back. I'm 16 and he's 19. my parents always felt off about our age difference but i never minded it. he's been in love with me for the longest time. the first time he confessed i rejected him exactly because of our ages and we didn't talk for about a year. he then came back into my life and continues to try to ask me out whenever he feels like it. hence me cutting his sentence off.

"nah you're fucking with me aren't you. are you high?" he asked coming closer to my eyes to see if i was high

"no loser." i pushed him away 

"we are moving. pops told me like an hour ago." i looked down at the floor

"shit man.." he put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed a little.

"where you guys off to?" he said as he tilted his head in sympathy 

he knew pops aka my grandpa had been wanting to move for a few weeks. but he never thought he was serious.

"nockfell? who the hell would think in their mind.. hey! i wanna move to nockfell. its just so random right?" i crossed my arms and waited for a response.

"leo. come on. don't be like that. so what if its random?" he took his hand off my arm

"listen dude i love you but im not looking to get one of those stupid lectures from you right now."

for your information yes my name is leo. my parents were two astrology twits and my zodiac is a leo so you can put two and two together. although a lot of people think it isn't a girl's name. but i disagree.

"ok lecture aside but look on the bright side. you actually get a fresh start. i mean after all the shit with your parents? hell if i were you i would have ran away already just for that fresh start." 

will and my parents didn't get along much. well they didn't like him but he didn't have anything against them. its better if he didnt know though.

"well i guess that would be cool to try and make friends for a change." i continued to stare at the ground

i don't usually get sappy in front of him

"come here little one." he signaled for me to accompany him in a hug.

i slowly walked over and tightly hugged him. he felt his loose shirt starting to get wet. 

"hey don't sweat it tiny. and hey without me around u will actually be able to date people without me getting in the way." he chuckled

"oh im not gonna miss that." 

"hey hey hey watch it little one. i could have put spy cameras at ur new place." he said sternly 

"i doubt that stupid." i said as i looked up at him

"yea your right i don't got no time for that." we both laughed for a moment.

" i am gonna miss you though." i said as the hug loosened

"me too tiny. me too." he sighed

his long black hair covered my face as i hugged him tightly again

"alright well i gotta go little dude. my mom wanted to talk to me about something. im assuming its about my dad."

his dad has been in a coma for 3 months. yea weve both been dealing with a lot recently.

" you think its gonna be that talk?"

(that) meaning pulling the plug.

"no clue. if i call you drunk asking you to marry me you know the answer" he let out a soft chuckle and kissed me on the forehead.

i waved goodbye as i watched him slowly walk away. i wiped my tears

"goodbye old friend.." i whispered to myself as i made my way to my front door.

(ignore the lowercase "i" im a VERY lazy writer hmfph)
