THE RUNAWAY

CHAPTER 2

Chloe's POV

"Wake up Kaylee we are late for school!" I shoved her so hard she almost fell off the bed. "What the fuck Chloe? Let's just skip today!"

"We can't and you know that!" I said trying to gather all of my stuff for school. "We can't miss soccer practice. Coach Kelly will kill us!" I added.

"Fine I'll get up if you please stop fucking yelling" she said annoyed. "It was your idea to try out for soccer, you know?" I said as I put my shoes on.

"Yeah. yeah. whatever." she rolled her eyes and walked into the bathroom.

My phone was sitting on my nightstand and it started vibrating. Who is texting me this early in the morning. I thought to myself. I grabbed my phone and saw that it was "Kiara" wait! That's the girl from the party last night. How did she get my number?

Kiara

Hey Chloe. You awake yet?

Hey. Why aren't you at school?

Sorry I overslept. Also how did you get my number?

You gave it to me at the party😂 you probably don't remember, you were pretty wasted.

Omg😭
Seen

Me and Kaylee got finished getting ready and headed to school. When we got there we had to go to the office. Then we both went to class.

All I could think about was how me and Kaylee got home that night because Kaylee was already drunk the second we walked into the party and Kiara said I was drunk too so who drove us home?

I was in the restroom fixing my mascara when I heard the door open. I looked to see who it was because Kaylee was supposed to meet me in there but it was Kiara. I didn't know she went to this school. I thought she was a pogue. (They go to a private school)

"Hey, sorry for rushing out last night but I figured Kaylee would keep you company." She said leaving me confused. "Wait. What? You are the one that brought us home?" I asked.

"You didn't think you got there on your own did you?" She asked sarcastically. "Well.. no."

"So..-" It got kind of weird. "Yea I'm gonna go I'll text you." She said walking out of the restroom. As she walked out Kaylee walked in.

"Hey. What was that about?" She asked nudging my shoulder and winking at me.

I've always dated boys but that didn't stop Kaylee from shipping me with girls. She didn't care who I liked, she only cares about my happiness.

"Nothing she was just checking up on me after the party." I put my mascara back in my bag and we went to practice. Coach Kelly was sitting at her desk when we walked in, she blew her whistle and we hustled over to her.

"Why were both of you late this morning?" She asked In a calm yet firm tone. "We overslept. Sorry." I said kinda nervous about the punishment.

"Okay but you have to wash the balls this week." She said and I was relieved. I don't know if I could handle running more than we already do.

"Kaylee can you come here for a second?" I yelled from the bathroom.

"Yeah one second." She said as I heard her rambling for the remote to pause her show.

"What do you want?" She asked as she walked into the bathroom. "Can you do my hair for tomorrow's game?" Kaylee is really good at doing hair. I told her she should go to school for cosmetology but she says it's too much work.

"Yeah sure, just meet me in the locker room before the game." She said as I heard a knock in the door. "I'll get it." I went to get the door and they knocked again.

"I'm coming!" I raised my voice. I opened the door and Kiara was standing there. She looked sad, her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were red. "Hey, I'm sorry to bother you but can I please come in?"

"Yeah sure." I stepped to the side and she walked in. "I'm so sorry. I just don't know where else to go." She sniffled.

"Are you okay?" I asked walking over to the couch. "No, my mom got mad at me..and..well-" she lifts her sleeve and shows me a bruise on her arm. It looked like a hand print.

"Omg Kiara! That's not okay!" I stood up in shock.

"I know but-" I cut her off. "No! No buts. You can't let her do this to you." I am so mad, I don't even know her and I am so mad.

"She's my mom Chloe." She looked up at me. "That doesn't give her the right to hurt you." I gently took her arm and she winced in pain.

"I'm so sorry." I said as Kaylee walked downstairs. "Who was at the door?" She saw Kiara and walked towards us. Kiara quickly pulled her sleeve down making sure she didn't see it.

"Kiara is gonna stay the night with us tonight." I said before Kiara could say anything. "Oh okay."

Kiara just looked at me. She didn't say anything but I knew she wanted to argue with me about it.

—————— ∴❀∴ ——————

Kaylee went to make popcorn and it was just me and Kiara in my room. "I can't just stay at your house. What about your parents?" She said pausing the movie. "Yes you can. My dad barely even cares if I'm here so it won't be a problem, and other than him it's just his wife Rose."

Kaylee came back and gave Kiara the bowl of popcorn because she was in the middle. "So Kiara, you dating anyone?" I looked at her knowing what she was doing. "You don't have to answer that." I said.

"No I'm not." I sighed in relief when she said that. Do I like girls? Do I like her?

This is Kaylee btw
