Ready To Run

C h a p t e r F i v e

I woke up to a delicious smell of breakfast in the kitchen. I placed my arm beside me expecting to feel Emmie right next to me but she wasn't. I felt a frown appear on my face and decided it was time to get up. I got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom to tidy myself up a bit. I looked in the mirror and saw that my blond was in a messy ponytail because of how I slept. I took my hair down and put it back up making sure to grab all the loose hairs. Once I was finished my neat, slicked back, high ponytail I grabbed my phone from the side of the bed and texted Logan.

Ti: Hey can you come over to your moms? Very important!

I walked down the hall towards the kitchen and once I entered the kitchen, I saw Em with a huge stack of chocolate chip pancakes. I watched her and saw a huge grin on her face once Nicole sprayed some whip cream on it. "How is it?" I said ruffling Emmie's hair. "Good." She said taking a huge bite. "Slow down baby, your going to choke." I said kissing her cheek. "Want some?" Nicole said getting me a plate. "Yes please." I said smiling. Once Nicole grabbed me a plate my phone vibrated signaling that I got a text message. I knew it was Logan because I only text certain people and she's the main one. The only people I've ever texted was Logan, Nicole, and Penelope. They were the only three that I needed to contact and I was fine with that.

Lo: Yes ma'am, be there in a min. :)

Ti: Okay see you in a minute. :)

I put down my phone and picked up the fork so I could eat my breakfast. I started thinking about how much I wanted to pack Logan and Nicole for all that they did and also I wanted to see Logan's reaction about me leaving South Carolina. Would she be mad, happy or upset with me. If I was in her place, I would have a lot of mixed emotions because she is my best friend. I just need Em to be safe and I think she would be safer if she was away from here. I will come back to visit, is just we need a fresh start and it will not happen here. I was then pulled away from my thoughts when I heard the front door open. "Hey everybody." She said taking off her sunglasses and coat. "Hey." Nicole and I said in unison. "Hi Lolo." She said jumping off the stool and running to Logan. "Hey baby girl." She said picking her up an kissing her cheek. I was still sitting at the bar waiting for her to ask me that question that everybody dreads for. "So what's so important?" Logan said putting Em down and sitting next to me. Whoop there it was. "Yesterday Nicole gave me a envelope from my grandmother and it had this in it, along with this charm necklace and a check for eighty five million dollars." I said handing her the note. Logan's eyes went wide once I told her the amount of money I had been given. "Wow Ti, I'm really happy for you." She said smiling and giving me a hug. "Thank you, but there's more." I said frowning deeply. "What?" She said trying to look me in the eye. "I'm moving somewhere else with Emmie. I think we need a new start and I'm trying to get her far away from our parents." I said looking up. "W-what?" she said with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to but I have to. I'll visit, call everyday and text you. I just have to get her out of here." I said with tears falling down my face. "I understand." She said getting up and walking to the door. "Logan wait." I said before she grabbed the doorknob. "What?" She snapped at me. "Why are you leaving?" I said tears falling harder. "Because I'm not going to sit here and act like your not going to forget about me. Your not going to have time to travel here all the time and I have school and work, we are never going to see or hear from each other. Bye Ti I hope you have a good life." She said opening the door and slamming it. By this point I was done, I had just lost my best friend. I was balling my eyes out because she was someone I cared about the most. "Lets go Emmie. Nicole thank you so much for everything, I'm sorry for leaving but its just to much." I said wiping my eyes and grabbing Em. I picked up Emmie, my phone and my keys and headed for the front doors. "I love you Nicole." I said looking at her one last time and walking out of the doors. I walked to my car and buckled Emmie into her car seat before getting into my own seat. I started the car and drove straight to the bank to transfer the 85 million into my account. I finally had all my money in one account so it was easier for me to carry my money. After I was all done with my money and social problems I was on the interstate to God knows where. "Ti where are we going?" She said with a frown. "I don't know yet baby." I said looking her through the rearview mirror. "Otay." She said frowning and looking out of the window. I hope this was a good idea because so far it has lead me to make everybody upset with me.
