4. Home

They ran and ran until there was no One in sight. They ran past a bike and decided to 'borrow' it for a bit.

Ophelia sat in the basket and Dean rode it all the way into town. They laughed and cheered. They also got very dirty looks but they didn't care.

Suddenly the bike came to a halt and they both flew forward and off the bikes.
"Oh my god, did you just yeet over that chain" Ophelia heard a girl gasp. Dean and Ophelia quickly stood up and grabbed each other's hand.
"Hey chill I'm not going to bite" the pretty girl laughed.

Ophelia and Dean shared a look with each other and both held out a hand for the girl to shake.
"Hi sorry nice to meet you." Ophelia said politely.
"You too. What's your name" the pretty girl asked.
"I'm Ophelia Martin and this is Dean Gallagher." She wrapped as arm around deans shoulder.
"Oh nice to meet you. Wait did you say Martin?" She asked Ophelia.
"Yeah?" She asked confused
"Wait are you Clara's daughter" her eyes widened.

"Yes I am. Sorry how do you know her?" Ophelia asked confusion written all over her face.
"My mother was good friends with her" she smiled softly.
"Oh I didn't know sorry" Ophelia replied with a smile.
"Is this your boyfriend?" The girl asks.
"No, best friends" Ophelia smiled
"Hey sorry what was your name again" Dean asked the girl
"Cameron, Sarah Cameron" she replied with a smile. Dean nodded his head with a smile.

"Oh shit yeah, do you know how to get to alroy street?" Dean asked Sarah.
"Oh yeah I do. Just down that hill and take a right." She replied
"Ok thanks so much." Dean smiled
"No problem" Sarah waved them goodbye with a smile.

They rode the bike all the way down the hill and turned right just as Sarah instructed. They kept riding. Taking in the soft breeze and the sea salt ocean air.

Once they made it to Ophelia's moms old home they parked the bike in the driveway. Ophelia's mother was a kook, so Ophelia lived the rich life until she was eight, that's when she was taken in as an orphan.

Dean held out his hand to help Ophelia out if the bike. They made their way Inside. And looked around the house. It was just how it was before she left. Ophelia turned to the living room and saw, her mother and her dancing around the coffee table with smiles on their faces.

Ophelia walked upstairs and saw her room was just how she left it. It light blue painted walls and white see through curtains. Her bed was made and had five of her soft toys Laying there.

She saw her phone charging on her bedside table. The children at the orphanage weren't allowed their phones so she left hers behind.

She turned around to see Dean leaning against the door frame with a soft smile on his face.
"Come here" he whispered with his arms wide open. Ophelia made her way towards him and cuddled up with him.
"We made it lia. We're free" he spoke.

Tears falling from both the teens eye.
