What does running away mean? It means too 'leave quickly in order to avoid or escape something. To leave home especially. But why do people run away? People tend to run away for a lot of reasons such as abuse, assault, and family problems, or maybe...

P.O.V {Midnight/Twelve}
"Beep-Beep-Beep" a random alarms goes off.
Who wakes up at 5:00 in the morning? FIVE IN THE MORNING. I'm going to kill whoever woke me up. To say I'm mad is an understatement. I'm angry and it doesn't help that I'm sleep deprived. That just means someone's getting thrown.
As I was in the middle of thinking of ways to kill this person, the alarm stops. Sighing cause since I'm awake I might as well make breakfast. Stumbling out of my bed, slowly I remove the clothes I wore the night before and throw it into my hamper. Grabbing my outfit I walk to my bathroom and turn on the shower. Putting the clothes on the counter I wait till the bathroom gets foggy and then get into the shower.
Once I'm done I get out and dry myself off before putting on my outfit. What I hate the most is when someone gets out of the shower and just gets into some clothes without even drying themselves off. I don't understand some people.

{TWELVES OUTFIT}
Not knowing what to do with my hair I just left it as it was because natural is always better. Well a lot of the times.
Checking the time I see I have at least 3 hours until I have to meet that kid at the cafe. Packing my bag with the necessities I need for the day I then make my way downstairs to the common room and began making pancakes for 15 people. A couple minutes later someone walks into the kitchen.
"Twelve? What are you doing down here this early? Oh no. A-are you o-on your p-period?" My bestie as she calls herself, asks. I get why she's afraid, it's probably because last time I got mad at Matt and threw him across my office. But other than that, there's really nothing else.
"Rylee I'm not. Someones dumbs alarm went off at five and I thought since I'm up that I should at least make breakfast for everyone." I tell her not taking my eyes off the stove. Last time that happened I burned the pancake.
"Oh. Okay, I like mine with extra syrup."Rylee smiles.
"Gross like seriously you need to get checked out by a veterinarian." I say trying not to laugh.
"Yeahhhh mayb- WAIT IM NOT AN ANIMAL!!!"She yells at me.
I start laughing so hard that my stomach hurts and tears stream down my face. We didn't talk at all after that. After I finished everybody flooded in and started gathering food onto their plates. Since I was finished with my food I went to my office to finish my work before going to meet up with the mystery boy.
{ 3 HOURS LATER }
Finishing up my work I gather up my things, swing my backpack on and walk out and lock my door. "Rylee, Matt, and guys . I'll be back later and probably with a new person." I yell as I exit the loft. A chorus okays and byes drifted out the door with me.
Outside the Den I crane my head to the side because I heard something or someone whatever it was, was alive. I waited a little bit and whatever it was is now long gone. Swiftly opening up the fence part I rush out and put it back and act like I didn't just come out of a wooden fence.
Ten minutes later I reach The Cafe and enter. Picking out a table and sitting down the bell on the door rings and I turn around to see the boy. I wave and he quickly fast walks over and sits down. No one talked for five minutes and the whole time he was nervously shaking his leg and glancing at the door every two seconds.
Deciding to break the silence I speak. "Lets get down to business" he looks me in the eye telling me I have his attention.
"I asked for you to come here because I wanted to ask you something." He stares at me waiting for me to continue.
"The other day I noticed you pick-pocketing an old lady's purse." I whisper so the couple in the booth next to us can't hear me. "I swear I didn't mean to I just, didn't have any money an-an" I put my hand out to stop him.
"I'm not getting you in trouble, so calm down. I'm giving you the chance to join me and my lovely crew." I tell him.
"W-What do you mean join you?" He questionably asks.
"Meaning if you join me then you'll have a place to stay and food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and you won't have to pick-pocket anymore. And risk getting caught and put in jail. Also you'll be working for me." I confidently tell him.
"I'll join but I won't do anything seriously illegal." He tells me. I need to ask for his name.
"What's your name kid?"
"My names Colby" oh same name as him and they kinda of look alike maybe. As I was about to ask something the bell on the door rings signaling that someone has entered or people. Craning my neck to see who it was, and yes I'm nosy deal with it. I freeze. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Why now out of all the cafes are around this city.
My brothers. All six of them standing at the entrance.
"We gotta make a run for it." I tell Colby as he gives me a look of confusion. "No time to explain just run on my mark. Okay." I quietly say. He nods. Looking back at my brothers I see they found a table on the other side of the cafe. As there sitting down I look at Colby as I set twenty dollars on the table. What? I know I didn't order anything but we still took up a table.
I wait a few seconds and then yell. "RUN!!" Everyone in the room looks over at us as we're running towards the door. Colby is the first to make it out the door and as I'm about to exit I glance back and see my brothers looking at me in shock but they recover quickly and get up and start running after me.
Colby and I bolt down the side walk. Turing down streets, alley ways and even jumping over fences. Luckily we lost them and we slow down. After we catch our breathe Colby gives me a look as if to tell him what that was about.
Sighing I give him an excuse. "Those guys that entered are people that you don't want to mess with." I warn him.
After that we stay silent as we walk back to the Den. Ten minutes passes and we make it to the wood fence. I look around and make sure no one is looking. Colby stands they're giving me the crazy eye.
When I'm done scouting I signal him over and open the fence piece. He looks like one of those kids in the mystery movies solving a crime. Letting him walk in first this dumb shit falls right in! Mentally face palming I help him up and guide him through the booby traps telling him where they are.
We get to the door and this time I brought my key. Opening the door we walk in and he looks around the messy area with disgust. I start walking up the stairs and he follows. As we reach the top I open the door to the common room and he steps in and at the same time Rylee walks over and they bump into each other. Rylee took most of the impact. They stood there looking at each other for a whole ass five minutes before I pushed Colby in and he fell onto Rylee. I told her to get him situated and left them on the floor blushing. Another match made, I guess.
Now I'm bored. Having nothing to do I go to the kitchen and make popcorn and walk to my room and watch a movie and once I'm done I set the bowl aside, turn off my TV and go to sleep.
