I walked, wanting to give up on not just running away but give up on this, this life I have placed out in front of me. I wanted to just fall on my knees and beg to god to take me back so I can be in Heaven inside of this harsh thing called "Life" I don't care if I never come back. I honestly don't. I rather be dead then be hit and tortured emotionally and physically. Poor Celia, all alone at the house with that monster. I wonder if she will leave too. "Hey you." A low voice growled.
I pointed my head towards where the sound came from and raised my eye brow. "Hello?" I whisper. I heard a crack of a stick almost 15 feet from me and I shot my head towards it. "Who is it?"
"Just me." A young boy says with his head down. "I didn't mean to scare you.."
I stared at him. "Um you didn't, but what do you want."
"Are you running away too."
"Y-Yeah." I wasn't alone? "Are you?"
"Yeah. My Mom didn't love me, my sister hated me, my Dad hurt me, and I am bullied so why not?"
I felt my eyes burn, I guess some people had it worse then me. As he came closer I noticed his scars up and down his arms in the moonlight. "Oh my." I said staring at his skin, it was ruined. "Are you...okay."
He laughed. "Are you kidding me?" He face palmed himself. "Uh hell no. Aren't you not okay either? Why else would we have the guts to run away"
"True." I started to walk away without him. he didn't seem to care just sat down and hugged his legs, once I was almost put of sight I heard him call me. "Please wait." He runs up to me and smiles a little bit. "Don't leave me too." He looks down and kicks some dirt. I look at him as he looks up and we make eye contact, I can finally make him out. He was pale, with dark brown hair that contrasts to his blue eyes. He was quite skinny, with freckles upon his nose. He looks down again as he notices I am staring at him. "Fine." I growl. "What did you bring when you left."
He looked at me with a disappointed face. "Nothing. Nothing at all. Just my cellphone I guess.""Really?!" I laugh. "Are you kidding me no food, no blankets?"
"No and no. And yeah I am not kidding you okay?"
"A damn cell phone.." I mutter.
"Hey." He said smiling. "I heard that." He shakes his head and takes one of my bags and gives me a look saying 'lets go'.
I follow him into the darkness, truly not knowing where we were going to go next. All I saw was darkness, like that was anything new.

~ Celias P.O.V ~
"Amber! Come here right now!" I say impatiently. I rush upstairs, stomping like a little kid mad about not having a friend over like they wanted. I slam open the door and find her not there, and a note? What the hell. Did she really leave? I laughed. She will come back. I traced my hands over the note and it smudged. It was just written not long ago. I picked it up and read it. It simply said:
Dear Celia, I don't know when you will get this or how you will react but as you figured out, I am long gone. Don't even try finding me, I am tired of this life. You should run away from him too. He will hurt you again and again, each time getting worse. Please leave him. And don't call the police, theres no point. If you care about me, don't. I know that sounds twisted but its true Celia. Not take care and make good choices, one good choice would be you leaving that hell house and be safer and have a nice life. I have to go now, Amber.
"That little..." I cuped my hands and thew them on my face and felt tears come out. We shouldn't have adopted her, were such a sucky home. I must have ruined her life. I need to call the police, take her with me, take her far away from here, She won't survive out there, she will have to come back. I have to go find her, some how I will.
Someday, she will have too,
Someday soon.
