Ashlyn's P.O.V
We drove along the very crowded street, my dad won't come looking for us, I've run away before, I always go back eventually. Maybe I could graduate high school early and leave... I sigh.
"Turn here" Michael points to my left, I spin the wheel in the direction he points,"so are we staying out for a week?" he looks at me.
"If you'd like." I shrug.
"Well, I have cash at my house if we stop there I can grab clothes and the money."
"Tomorrow. Tonight we go to the top of the Empire State and be abnormal teenagers."
Michael smiles,"I like this crazy Ashlyn."
"I do too, how do you think I got these piercings and this hair?" I laugh.
"You got it when you ran away?" he asks in surprise.
"Yep," I run my hand through my hair.
I pull into the parking lot for the Empire State.
"Here we are." Michael leans forward so he can see the top of the building.
"Whoa." I sigh, I like being a tourist for a little bit.
My phone rings, I recognize the ringtone as my dads, I pick up,"ASHLYN WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU." My dad screams into the phone, I hang up and block my dad so he can't call me.
"He's so mad wow." Michael looks from my phone to me.
"He'll get over it." I swing open the door and climb out, Michael mirrors my actions.
We walk into the building, we both look out of place, but people should know not to mess with us.
Walking onto the elevator, we had people in business suits and briefcases pile into the small, compact space.
Finally reaching the top, I gasp at the sight. It's perfection, I can see the whole city, I happen to have my mini camera in my purse, I pull it out and take a picture, this is better than I could have ever imagined.
"Do you like it?" Michael, drapes his arm over my shoulder.
"No," I pause,"I absolutely love it."
The sun was starting to set on the horizon, the sky was a light orange and pink hue, coloring all of the clouds around it. I hear a growl,"you hungry?" I laugh, Michael is obviously embarrassed.
"Yeah" he laughs nervously with me.
"Let's go grab something to eat." I tug him towards the elevator.
