Teen runaways

Nova POV:
Revision introduction bc I been gone forra while:
The group has been with Liv's guardian who is her uncle (Tony) for a couple of days and decide to find a new hang out spot which they have starting cleaning but Liv and Jake left the group to get some alcohol for the afternoon.

——

We have been walking for around twenty minutes until we finally reached the bottle-O (liquor store for you Americans) just before I reach the entrance Jake stops me.

"Leave the work to me, I have the looks to get it" he says with a smirk and I just scoff at him leaning on the wall just outside the doors.

I watch as there is only a slither of sun left in the sky, creating a dim scene around me and I suddenly hear the door open once again, revealing an empty handed Jake.

I laugh at his embarrassed face, "it wasn't a chick" he said which only makes me laugh even harder to which he playfully punches my shoulder.

"I'll show you how it's really done pretty boy" I say making him blush, my pay back for him calling me princess.

I use the vacant hair tie on my wrist to tie my t-shirt up at the back, manipulating my shirt to make it look like I have huge tits. I add to the look by rolling my Jean shorts so they only barely cover my ass.

Jake looks like a deer in headlights staring at my exposed body, "take a picture it will last longer" I tease with a smile.

"If I had my phone I would" he counter attacks making me blush again but I laugh it off and confidently strutting inside.

I flash a flirty smile to the guy at the counter, a mid twenty year old that looks like he peaked in high school, perfect.

I grab cruisers, beer and some apple ciders before heading to the counter smiling at him the whole way.

"Hey there" I say and place the items on the counter, leaning over to make my tits lean toward him.

Luckily there is no one else in the store so I won't get caught, "hello, how are you going today?" He says through a sly smile.

I giggle before saying, "better now I'm looking at a sexy looking man" I say cheesily making me internally gag but he takes the bate and starts smiling wider at me.

"What do you say I make it even better by inviting you to mine tonight?" He says confidently and I make a sexy smile spread across my face.

I lean over to him so our faces are almost touching, "what do you say you cover me for these drinks and you can have me when your shift is over?" I whisper seductively into his ear and chuckles deeply.

I look into his eyes, they are filled with protest but once I flash him one of my signature grins he gives in, "only if I can get your number" he says.

I bite my lip before grabbing a pen from over the counter and writing my old foster 'mothers' number on his arm.

I grab the drinks with a bite of the lip and a wino before walking back outside to be met with Jake who has the most shocked expression on his face.

"What? How do you think I have so much alcohol all the time? I'm poor" I say as I motion him to take the drinks and follow me.

I modify my clothes back to what they were before and taking the apple ciders from his hands, still looking at me in disbelief.

I simply chuckle at him, "if I have to deal with a shit tonne of cat calling and my personal bell every month, I should be able to flirt my way into getting free shit"

——

Once we made it back we drank, talking and overall had a good time simply enjoying each others company before I saw that it was already 7:30.

"Hate to break it to you guys but we need to go like now" I say which earns a lot of groans but I see everyone is a little tired from the hard work today so they don't protest too much.

We made our way back to the house just before 8, just before I'd told Tony we'd be back and I instantly see Tony in the kitchen.

The others waltz past him, giving him occasional hello's but making their way to the rooms blissfully ignorant from the happiness of the day to notice Tony had a tear slightly tear stained face.

I wait until the others have made their way back to the rooms to walk up to Tony. "Are you ok? I know we aren't too close but I'm still here" I say gently and he simply smiles sadly.

"Follow me" he says as he leads me into the lounge room I sit on the lounge whilst he pulls out an old looking photo album from the cupboard.

"Your mother or my sister was one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I knew, she loved you with every fibre in her body"

He starts explaining whilst opening the dusty book to reveal baby photos which if I didn't know the context would think where of me but were of my mother.

My eyes begin to water as I watch my mother grow older through photos, "what is her name?" I ask quietly, starting to feel anger toward her for leaving me alone in this world.

"Her name was Mazie" he says and I can't help but notice he said 'was' but I remain silent sensing that he will explain soon.

"We lived with our parents up until she was 18 when she fell pregnant with you" he says with a smile as he turns to the page of her with a small belly bump, me.

I tear escapes my eyes as I see the pure joy on her face, the joy I brought to her.

"I was 17 at the time and our parents were extreme Christian's and didn't approve of it, they said to get an abortion before anyone noticed she was pregnant" Tony explains as the photos flip to one's of Tony with my mother when she was first pregnant.

"She refused so they kicked her out and she went to live with Trent" he says with a bitter tone saying his name, a photo of my mother and a man appears and Tony quickly flips the page.

"Who is Trent?" I say not being able to hold the question in.

"He is your father" he spits but grows even more sad then before, the tears on my face have stopped but my cheeks still remain tear stained.

"Mazie started to never leave Trent's house and started suddenly declining visits from me, I assumed she was too busy with the pregnancy, looking back now I would have done everything differently" he says whispering out the last part and I simply remain confused.

"She eventually gave birth to you and seeing her at the hospital was the first time I had seen her in months, but she seemed.....different" he says whilst flipping through the pictures of Mazie holding me in her arms.

I start crying silently looking at what I thought never happened, I never thought I had a mother.

"She had grown very skinny and pale, she had lost her spark and I never talked to her without Trent in the room" he says through cries.

My thoughts become confused as I see her pale and skinny self laying tiredly on the hospital bed, obviously plastering on a fake smile for the camera and maybe for the people in the room with her.

"She grew 'healthy' again and was released from the hospital with you, it was a couple of weeks before I paid an unexpected visit to Trent's house, I hadn't been aloud to talk to her because I had lost contact with her again....." he says crying hysterically and fear spreads through my body.

"I broke the door down as I didn't hear any replies but I heard you crying inside the house and...and-" he says but starts hyperventilating rapidly.

I simple place my hand on his and he evens out his breaths, "I found her sprawled on the ground, body fully bruised and her hand holding a bottle of pills, she killed herself" he said and my world stops instantly.

"Trent had been abusing her and she couldn't take it anymore" he says and finally breaks down, I don't have the capacity to comfort him as I am frozen by shock and anger.

I remember a very similar night, I could have ended up just like her.....
