Scarlett's POV :

I didn't sleep at all I've been watching the clock for the past hour waiting for it to hit 2 AM.

I got ready an hour ago, I wore a pair of black converse and brown sweatpants with a brown hoodie, I chose the most comfortable clothes that I have because I don't know how long am I going to stay outside, in the streets...

We aren't allowed to own cash here because everything is free, but I managed to get myself 200$,
I know that it won't be enough but at least it will help me get food, water...etc
I don't know where am going or what am I going to do, but I just know that I want out of this place as soon as possible.

It's 2 AM now, I got out of my room silently and went straight to the basketball court without making any noise, I found Sam waiting there for me and he already opened the window.

' Hi Sam ' I muttered with a quiet voice so no one would hear us.
' Hi Scarlett, are you ready? '
' You have no idea ' I smile at him and I stand up on the chair.
' hear me out there's a Ladder In the corner of the garden when you come back to climb it and I'll be here waiting for you, you have a watch right? what time do I meet you here? ' he asks

' Sam... I- ' I say without finishing my sentence

' what??? ' he asks confused

' You're not coming back, are you? ' he asks and I nod looking at the floor

' Are you crazy? You know that sooner or later they're gonna find out you are gone, we all know who your mom is, and trust me if Scarlett Harper is missing, they're gonna find you within a day, and you'll be in big trouble ' he says nervously attempting to stop me.

' they won't I promise, Sam I want to do this ' I said holding his hand
' then go ahead, I don't care, do whatever you want ' he pulls his hand away from mine

I got down from the chair and pulled his hand back on mine.
' it's going to be alright ' I say comforting him
' will I ever see you again? ' he asks with sadness all over his face

' I don't know ' I say to him because I honestly don't know.
' Bye Sam '
I kissed him on the cheek and muttered
' thank you ' in his ear.

I got out the window

and OUCH.

All my body weight fell on my arm.
I bit my lips hard so I won't scream.

I think I just broke my arm.

I couldn't move it and it hurt so much.

But I must go, there's no going back.

I couldn't get up, I stayed there laying on the floor for a couple of minutes, then I pulled my hoodie up to my mouth and bit on it, and gathered all my strength to get up, when I finally did, I didn't move my hand because I hear them say if your arm is broken you shouldn't try to move it, then I just ran till I reached a pharmacy, I knew I shouldn't get in because I don't have my ID and I look like a 16-year-old, but the pain was unbearable.

' Um hello? ' I ask because there wasn't anyone there

' Hi there ' a woman in her late twenties shows up, she was wearing a white coat with a crop top underneath and black jeans, she had short blonde hair and blue eyes.

her eyes were nothing like Luna's, they were just regular blue eyes.

' Oh my god are you okay kid? ' she says shocked looking at my arm
' I... I think I broke it, I was skating and then I.. ' I mumbled.

skating at 3 AM is not the best excuse but whatever, it's the first thing that came to my mind.

' did you hear a crack when you fell? '
' Nooo I don't think I did '
' Let me take a look come here ' she says
