Anything I thought I needed I shoved in my suitcase. I didn't take time to fold anything, or organize anything, everything was just hastily put in my suitcase with out care. I just needed to leave and never come back. I guess I was leaving home one day earlier than planned.
"Jess?" I heard with a knock on my door. It was stupid Todd here to try and save the day. But he couldn't save it this time,I've already made up my mind. "Are you okay?" he asked. I just kept packing ignoring the fact that he was there. "What are you doing in there rearranging the furniture or something?"
"Yes Todd that is exactly what I'm doing," I replied sarcastically.
"Well Mom told me to come home and check on you. She said you ran out of the court house pretty fast. What happened?" He asked ignoring my previous comment. My life was just ruined that's what happened. I could put up with living here for the next couple of months but I could not put up living with my dad and his whore. He probably is putting bars on my window as we speak.
I dropped my hands and kicked my suitcase to the side. I got up and ripped the door wide open.
"The judge gave him full custody Todd." He face sunk and he ran his fingers through his hair.
"What? Why would they do-"
"How am I supposed to live with him?!" I felt a hot tear run down my cheek.
"We can figure this out Jess. I mean we can go back to court. You can get emancipated and we can live together."
"We can try but I doubt it's going to work. I can't live with him. I just can't. I can barely live here!" I turned around and continued to pack my stuff.
"What are you doing Jess?" he asked.
"I need to leave, just for a little bit. I just need to go somewhere far away," I croaked.
"So you're running away?" he said bluntly.
"No I'm not I'm going to come back before school starts again."
"You can't run away from your problems Jess."
"I'm not! The problem isn't just going to fix itself while I'm gone! I still have to deal with it when I come back." I zipped the suitcase up, standing it up on its side.
"Where are you going? Does Louis have anything to do with this?" I could see the anger bubbling beneath the surface.
"I can't tell you that. And we are going together but he doesn't know anything. He thinks everything's fine." Todd started to laugh. Like that maniacal sort of laugh people do when they think the situation they are in is completely stupid.... Ya that one.
"Oh my god you're crazy. You are literally crazy."
"I'm leaving Todd whether you like it or not." I pulled out my phone and started dialing. I had to swallow the giant lump in my throat before I could talk. "Hey Louis I was just thinking that since our flight leaves early tomorrow that we just spend the night together. It will make things easier."
"Are you fucking serious?" Todd said.
"I'll pick you up in a half an hour is that good?" Louis said into the phone.
"Ya half an hour sounds great. I'll talk to you soon, bye." Todd just shook his head at me. "Remember that time you came home at 6 in the morning and I told Mom and Dad you were home the entire night?"
"Ya so?"
"Remember the time the school called to say you missed school I pretended to be mom? Or the time that I walked all the way to Devin's house just to drive your truck home so Mom and Dad wouldn't know you were too drunk to drive yourself?" He nodded slowly. "I knew all those things were wrong Todd. And you shouldn't have done any of those things but I let you get away with them. It's my turn to get away with something." I could tell he was contemplating it in his head. He knows I have done lots of shit for him over the years. "And I know that when I get back I will be in a lot of shit. But I know what I'm getting myself into and I'm going face the consequences." He rolled his eyes at me.
"Fine," he sighed," But some conditions. You tell me where you are going in case anything happens and you call at least once a day."
"Thank you!" I wrapped my arms tightly around his shoulders pulling him in for a hug.
"Just don't do anything stupid. And if you come back pregnant I will cut Louis' balls off," he laughed.
"I know, I know," I smiled," Just don't tell Mom or Dad please." I released him from my hug. "I'm going to London."
"I figured," he replied. I grabbed my suitcase and rolled it out the door to the living room.
"Louis should hopefully be here before Mom and Dad get home. I feel bad for lying to him but you know Louis he's all about doing the right thing,"I joked.
"You do realize he was dating my little sister behind my back right?" Todd laughed.
"He's not the same and you know it."
"I know. I trust him, I trust him a lot. And I trust you so don't make me regret my decision."
"I won't." I heard honking outside. My heart was racing. I was really doing this. I was really running away. "He's here I better go," I said to Todd putting my coat and boots on.
"Give your big brother one more hug before you go." He pulled me into another hug, something we actually didn't do that often. We probably hugged more today then we did over the past 3 years.
"I couldn't of asked for a better big brother."

I know it's short but I just started university so I don't know how much time I'm going to have to update but my plan is to finish it and I am assuming that there will only be 8 or so chapters left. I am not entirely sure yet. Anyways thanks for reading and for all the votes! You guys honestly make writing this story worth it! I hope every one who is attending school this fall is doing well so far! Thanks!
