When I got there, I saw Sally and Mikayla there too. I walked up the gate and they ran towards me, embracing me in a hug.

'What the hell are you doing?' Denique asked me. I looked to the ground and whispered my answer.

'Running away.'

'What?! Hayley you can't do that! Go home, now!' Sally said to me. I shook my head.

'Well where are you going to stay?' Mikayla asked me.

'I was hoping you guys could help me out,' I whispered.

'Oh, Hayley,' Denique said. I started crying again, they led me into the house and we sat on the couch silently. Nobody said anything until Denique's mum, Lana, came out from her bedroom.

'What is going on here?' Lana asked in a light tone. We looked up but didn't say anything. Lana was a lovely person, she was nice to everyone and was more like a friend than a parent, but she would be really angry I was running away. 'Well?' She asked again. No one said anything again, but she just kept waiting for one to come.

'I'm running away,' I finally said. Lana gasped and came to give me a hug. After that, we talked about why I was doing it, and why I shouldn't, but I wasn't going back no matter what they said. The discussion ended when I got another text from Michael.

'U up yet? It's 2 in the afternoon, I need to talk to u, text me back please?'

I had to tell him sometime, but I didn't know how to. I saw the others watching me, wondering what was going on, so I explained to them the whole story from after Sally left us the other day. Through the whole thing they didn't say anything, just listened.

'So my mum will come home to find I've left and flip out, but she can't know where I am. And I told Michael I would stay, and now he wants to go over, but I don't know what to say to him so that he won't get angry at me!' I finished.

'You have to tell him,' they all said at once.

'How?' I asked.

'Give me your phone,' Sally said. I handed it to her and she dialled Michaels number. 'I'll put it on speaker, but you have to tell him to come her and we will explain it later,' she commanded me.

'Ok,' I breathed. On the third ring Michael picked up.

'Oh thank god! How are you baby?' He sang into the phone.

'I'm alright, I'm at Denique's place right now, can- can you come over?' I rushed.

'Yeah, text me the address and I'll be there. Is something wrong? I thought you were grounded?' He sounded worried.

'When you get here we'll explain everything to you,' I said, then hung up. I texted him the address, and five minutes later, he was at the door. He walked in and practically strangled me with the force of his hug. He kissed my forehead, then sat down and pulled me onto his lap.

'Whats going on?' He asked in all seriousness. I sighed, I couldn't look him in the eyes and tell him, I just stared at the floor.

'I-I'm running away and need someplace to crash,' I blurted out. Michaels grip around my waist tightened momentarily, then he turned my head so I had nowhere else to look but at him.
