Save Me From Reality

Becoming A Run Away

"Do you have any idea were he might have went?" the detective asked and I shook my head. The guy was be-gaining to be a real-please excuse my French- bitch. He keep asking the same questions and getting the same answers. Ethan I could really use you right now. He couldn't have picked a better time to split with Tera getting closer to the truth and Kris already knowing. Now it's all come crashing down on top of me. I can't imagine what the real wight of the world is but it sure fells like it's on my shoulders. "Please could you give me the information I need," he asks me and I stand up. You can probably guess what happens next. Yeah I cues him out then storm out of the police station to my car. I am so pissed. I mean don't you think I would have went to where he was and talked to him? For crying out loud I am his best friend to everyone else. To him I am his girlfriend!!!! This is so stupid. I just wish he would come home. I pull over and literally cry my own personal river. I can't take it. Why did he leave me behind? Why could we not have ran away together? Because he knows my parents wouldn't stop till they found me and they would have is ass for that. Please come home please. I love you Ethan, I really do. Come home come on. This can't be the way we end this relationship. I get out of the car and run as fast as I can till I can't breathe. I collapse to the ground in tears and sweat. I will hate myself for the rest of my life if they don't find your sorry ass, Ethan. I have to get out of here. I have to get out of this hell hole! I go back to the car and drive to the house. I pack all my clothes, toothbrush, charger, and a few photos of me and Ethan. I scribble down a note to my parents:
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please don't come looking for me I have to get hold of myself. I'll come back, don't worry. I have no idea when I'll be back.
                                                                                                                  ~Krystal.
P.S. I love you!

I put the note on the fridge and run out to my car. I drive for like days, only stopping for food, drinks, and bathroom breaks. My mom's blowing up my phone with worry text messages and phone calls. I finally find away to stop my notifications. I reach a little town on the outskirts of Arizona. The best place for a get away from a life of question.  I stop for some breakfast and you won't believe who is sitting at the bar.
Ethan.

"Krystal what are you doing here?" he asks. "The better question is why the hell are you here?" I stare him down with a furious cold stare. "Had to get away and the only reason I didn't take you with me is because I thought you would say no," he explains. He's right because back then I would have said no. But why would he come here? "What will it be, miss?" The waitress asks. "Eggs an beacon please," I say. She scribbles it down while Ethan hides his face with a hat. I was smart and got my hair cut. And some cheap sunglasses. She walks away and Ethan stares at me. "You know I've missed you so much I've considered coming home. Krystal I love you," he says. I look at him how could he say that after he's been miss for over a week. Well I guess I'm not much better I've been missing for 4 days. "Could I stay with you," I ask. He nods and the waitress brings my plate over. I eat and he pays for it. We walk out and I follow him to his house. It's not to shabby for him. We walk in and he helps me get settled. "I've had to stay at the police station after school for the last week because of you," I say and he chuckles. "I'm sorry for the trouble, I've heard the detectives a bitch," he says. And flops down on the bed beside me. "Yeah and now he knows it," I say. He laughs. "You scream it at him or what?" He asks and I nod laughing right at long like old times. The only thing different is that we're both run aways and I'm mildly pissed off at him, besides that yeah it's just like old times. "So what made you run away miss," he says and acts as if he is holding a mic to my face. "You're still so cheesy," I say and we bust out laughing all over again. Finally when we are not laughing our asses off he gets all serious. "But seriously why did you run away?" He almost whispers. "I-I couldn't handle it all. The detective, Tera, Kris, the hole school, everything just went wrong," I break down and tell him everything. I can't ever stay mad at him for anything he just has that effect on me. He puts his arm around me and lets me cry my eyes out on his shoulder. "Shh, I know, I know," he whispers into my hair. A few hours latter I feel so tired I don't even struggle when he lays me down and covers me up. I dream of flying through the skies. Ethan is there and he's flying too. He swoops under me and kisses my cheek. Suddenly the skies turn dark and Ethan disappears. Then I'm falling. I scream and wake up in a cold sweat. Ethan runs in and asks if I'm okay.  I shake my head. He gets in bed with me and cradles me in his arms. "Shh, it's okay," he says. I fall asleep to his voice, whispering kind words.
