Finding You Part 4, Chapter 27 —
At Skye / Lorenzo — "Running Away"
Genevieve was in her room, grabbing a bag, putting some clothes and her books in it, when Skye came in.
"Genevieve, what are you doing?" Skye asked.
"Mother, I need a suitcase. Can you get me one?" Genevieve asked.
"For what?" Skye inquired.
"I'm running away," Genevieve answered.
"Where are you going?" Skye asked.
"To the Quartermaine mansion," Genevieve said.
"Alright, I will get you the suitcase," Skye replied. She went into the hallway to find Lorenzo.
"What's going on?" Lorenzo asked.
"Our daughter is planning to run away," Skye said.
"I don't think so," Lorenzo responded.
"Just let me handle this. You already blew it," Skye said.
"Alright," Lorenzo agreed.
They went into Genevieve's room where Skye had the suitcase.
"So, you're going to stay at the mansion?" Skye asked.
"Yes, I am," Genevieve confirmed.
"What about Brownie? I know you'll miss her," Skye asked.
"I can come and visit her," Genevieve replied.
"No, you can't," Skye said.
"No," Genevieve asked.
"No. What about Skylar? I know you'll miss her," Skye said.
"She can come to the mansion," Genevieve suggested.
"Well, make sure to pack your eye drops. You need to put them in your eyes. Since I won't be there, you'll need someone to help you. And about your books— which ones are you taking? You can't fit them all. How will you get to the mansion? It's a long walk," Skye explained.
"I know what you're doing, Mother, trying to talk me out of this, but I'm not going to back down," Genevieve said.
"We'll miss you if you go," Skye said.
"Yes, we will," Lorenzo added.
"I will only stay if Daddy fixes what he said to Alexander," Genevieve demanded.
"Genevieve, I was just trying to protect you," Lorenzo said.
"I don't need you to protect me when it comes to Alexander," Genevieve responded.
"That's my job, and I think you and Alexander are too young," Lorenzo argued.
"Then I'm going to the mansion," Genevieve declared.
"Well, I'll call Alan to pick you up," Skye said.
"Thanks, Mother. I know I can count on you," Genevieve replied.
Skye and Lorenzo went into the hallway.
"Skye, we can't let our daughter live at the mansion," Lorenzo said.
"Then what are we going to do? Why did you have to come between them?" Skye asked.
"I was just being a dad," Lorenzo replied.
"No, you went too far. I have a feeling Genevieve will be back before Monday," Skye predicted. She then called Alan.
Genevieve finished packing as Skylar entered.
"What are you doing?" Skylar asked.
"I'm going to stay at the mansion," Genevieve said.
"Why?" Skylar questioned.
"Because Daddy told Alexander that we'll break up," Genevieve explained.
"Don't go; I'll miss you," Skylar said.
"I'll miss you too. You can come over," Genevieve offered. She picked up her two bags.
Downstairs, Alan was talking to Skye.
"So, Genevieve wants to live at the mansion?" Alan asked.
"Yes, I don't want her to go, but I don't know what to do," Skye admitted.
"This is all because of Alexander," Alan said.
"Yes," Skye confirmed.
"I have an idea," Alan suggested.
"Alright, I'll let you handle this," Skye agreed.
"Skye, every kid wants to run away. AJ tried once," Alan said.
"Thanks. So, I'm not a horrible mother," Skye noted.
"No," Alan said.
Genevieve came downstairs with her two bags.
"Grandfather, I want to live with you," Genevieve said.
"I heard, and I would love for you to come to the mansion. I have time before I go to the hospital, so I can take you there, but then I'll have to leave," Alan responded.
"Alright," Genevieve agreed.
Skylar, Lila Rae, Luis, and Lorenzo came downstairs.
"Genevieve, I will miss you," Skye said, starting to cry.
"Mother, don't cry," Genevieve said.
"Well, I'm sad," Skye admitted.
"Bye, Genevieve," Lila Rae said.
"Take care of Brownie for me," Genevieve requested.
"I will," Lila Rae replied.
"Bye, Genevieve, I will miss you," Skylar said.
"I will miss you too," Genevieve responded.
"Bye, Genevieve," Luis said.
"Bye, Luis," Genevieve said.
"Bye, Genevieve," Lorenzo added.
Genevieve looked at her father and then left with Alan.
"Skye," Lorenzo called.
"Don't!" Skye exclaimed and went upstairs.
"Why did you let Genevieve leave?" Luis Jr asked.
"Your sister will come home," Lorenzo assured.
