chapter five bubblegum bitch.

Agent Coulson was not having the time of her life when Juno kept accidentally hitting her kennel against something as she tried to sneak out the back door. The nerves and excitement were eating her up too fast she had forgotten to be careful. It was in her mind yet her subconscious made her do everything except for be comfortable. Door frames, tables, the walls, the staircase railing. She had a backpack and a duffel bag that looked pretty small but held so much of her stuff inside.
She figured her mom might have gone in the living room again since she wasn't in her room as she walked passed and couldn't risk her seeing her.
She had changed into sweatpants and put on another pair of white socks over her bandage before she put her red converse on and rushed to leave. She wasn't a loud person so she didn't worry too much about making too much noise, her drunken mother would not be able to notice the small thuds. At least she hadn't noticed when Juno had snuck out through the back door before.
That or she chose to ignore it or simply did not care.
She made it to the kitchen, successfully avoiding the living room and made it to the back door until she heard a loud crash. She stopped in her tracks and turned around, scanning the dark room for anything that could have made the noise. Not seeing anything besides darkness and hearing nothing but shuffling in the living room she decided it was her mother again and went out the back door.
The night was still and it was silent besides the chirping of crickets as she walked on the side of her house to meet Eli who had already been in the driveway. She didn't expect to see him that quickly.
"Sorry we are not taking Demetri's car," he spoke the second he saw her.
He had been outside his car and rushed to help her with her stuff. She thanked him and lifted her cat to her face and apologized to her. "Im sure this has been an odd night for you, I'm sorry but it will be okay in a bit."
"You're bringing her?" Eli asked as she put the cat in the back seat and he closed the trunk.
"Am I not supposed to?" she asked, shutting the door and making it to the passenger side.
"No no I was just wondering."
"I can't leave her by herself," she spoke before they sat in the car and adjusted.
"Where are we going first?" Eli asked, holding her hand and running his thumb over her knuckles. He didn't bring up the tears that were still visible on her face. "Do you want to go where we planned or somewhere different?"
"I want to go to Seattle," she said quickly. "I think its unfair to go to the places they want to go to after we left them."
"Seattle it is then," he smiled and kissed the back of her hand.
