Finding Hope Somewhere

Chapter 4

I woke up whiping the sleep out of my eyes. I was still wrapped in Jack's arms so I just layed there because I didn't want to wake him up. I layed there dreaming about what life is going to be as a runaway, I really didn't care about back home or around home, I didn't even care about Jasper, I just cared about Jack and I.

"Laura?"

"Yeah?"

"I didn't know if you were still with me"

"I'll never leave you"

"I know but I just don't want to be abanded again"

"You don't have to worry"

"Laura can I tell you something?"

"Sure"

"Ever since you found me dying, I've felt connected to you"

"Me too Jack, I can talk to you about almost anything"

"I feel the same"

"Haha Laura I'm it's just you and I"

"Me too"

I got up so did Jack and we had to find a bathroom so I could get changed and actualy use the toilet. We packed our stuff and we left the unknown field. Jack and I waked to the closest gas station, when we got there people looked at us a little supicous like in "Oh no druggies are here" kind of look. I just looked at them with the stink eye. I had to get the key to the bathroom so I went inside the little mini mart to get the key.

"Hi my friend and I have to use the restroom, can we borrow the key to get in?" I looked at him nicely so he wouldn't think I'm a punk kind of kid.

"Okay, just don't trash it up"

"Thank you I'll bring it back"

The man handed me the key and I took it out of his hand and walked out of the mini mart. I unlocked the door and I went in first. I changed into my clean pairs of clotthes. I'm wearing my black skinny jeans, my black t-shirt that says "My Chemical Romance" with my black zip up hoodie and my black combat boots. I know that sounds kind of "Emo" but that's what I am and I'm loving it. I quicky went to the bathroom and left the tight space.

"Here it's your turn"

"Thanks Laura, I'll be out soon"

I was waited a few minutes for Jack to be done getting dressed. When he came out he was wearing, a really dark black pair of skinny jeans, his "Lets see who hits the ground" shirt with his longer cover up sort of thing and his combat boots but his pants where all scrunched up in them. He always wears his lip peircings but they are called snake bites because he has two. I went into the market to return the key back to the guy behind the regaster. After I did Jack and I began our journey of runaways. We were walking all over, just kept going and going and we would never stop. We knew that being runaways could end us up in jail but we could care less because the world meant nothing to us. It got a little boring here and there but Jack and I would count all the black cars that passed by while we were walking. My parents didn't even call to worry about where I was, they could care less.

"Jack,do you know where we are?"

"No, but it's pretty"

"I know, I wish I lived here"

"Me too"

I sighed just a little bit because life at home was never good for me, I felt like I was useless and stupid, and no one ever wanted me but Jack. I don't know how I ever lived sixteen years with them, it still shocks me if I had the choice I would have ran away a long time ago. Life as a runaway was a lot better as life as an alone child I really hated my life. Jack was the only good person in my life and thats all that matters in my life. Being around Jack just makes me feel wanted and loved, he is like a brother I never had. I heard my phone start ringing, I really wondered who would be calling me. No one really called me but Jack. I looked at the caller and it said "unknown."

"Hello" I answered

"Hi, is this Laura?"

"Yes, who is this"

"Jasper"

I was about ready to faint. I really didn't want to talk to Jasper, but at the same time I did.

"How did you get my number?"

"Your mom"

"My mom?"

"Yeah, I went looking for you at your house"

"You went to my house?!?" I scremed.

I was really upset, I was always so imberssed for people at my school to see the place I lived at.

"Yeah, where are you?"

"With my best friend"

"Oh, do you want to catch up soon?"

"Um, I can't"

"Why?"

"I'm not home and I'm not going to be home for a while"

"Well, when you do give me a call"

"Yep, I will"

"Bye"

I hung up the phone and almost started crying, but I saw at the corner of my eye Jack was crying. It killed me to see him cry, because he is so tough and when he cries then that means something is bothering him.

"Jack are you okay?" I asked him while rubbing his back

"Go away Laura"

"Tell me while your crying"

"No"

"Jack" I said while cocking my eyebrow

"You love Jasper dont you?"

"I dont love him"

"Dont lie to me Laura" He snapped

"I just think he's cute"

"Why?"

"I have many reasons, he is nice, cute" I said while sitting next to Jack.

"Laura you said you would never get into this kind of love"

"Jack, I don't love him" I snapped.

Jack got up off of the rock and was cursing under his breath. I wanted to slap Jack in the face because he was getting really mad at the dumbest stuff. If only there was a way to snap him out of it. Should I kiss him? I walked over to Jack and I looked into his crystal blue eyes,they were still beautiful even though he had been crying. I put my hand on his cheek and kissed his cold lips. Jack always looked cold and he sure felt it. The kiss was real fast and quick. I broke the kiss a few seconds later and Jack looked at me like I was crazy. I just gave him a smirk and began to walk.

"Did you mean that?" Jack said with a slit smirk on his face.

"Not as a relashionship sort of thing" I said laughing

"Okay Laura, that really cheered me up"

I just smiled and gave him a hug. Jack wasn't upset anymore so that made me happy. I kept on thinking about Jasper and how he called me, I just felt happy, but then it made me sad because if I didn't runaway I would be going out with Jasper. Maybe this was a mistake.
