The Runaways|| a Solangelo mortal AU

An: So I changed where they lived from Vermont to the outskirts of New York because this is my fic and I can do whatever the fuck I want.

I opened the door for Austin and Kayla and quickly escorted them in. Since my dad was out of town for the weekend I was taking advantage of every second of it. After a few moments I noticed that Will wasn't with them.

"Hey, uh did Will decide not to come?" I asked getting scared that something happened since he hadn't been at school for a few days.
"Oh yeah, he's fine we raced him," said Kayla looking around.
"Where should I put my bag?" Asked Austin awkwardly holding his bag.
"Oh shit, um just toss it on the couch down the hall." I twirled my hands nervously.
"Thanks," Austin and Kayla head to the "secondary living room."

Out secondary living room was basically my dads old bedroom but according to Nico he hasn't even been in there since his wife died. When I moved in Nico turned the room into a more official living room where we could hide since the door had a lock.

Before I went into the room I heard Nico come in accompanied by Will. Nico actually seems happy as he heads in. I wait in the hall for them to notice me. Surprisingly it took me to wave for Nico and Will to notice me.

"Oh hey Hazel," said Nico. "I ran into Will."
"Hey," said Will.
"Do you have everything you meed,"asked Nico. "I can always head to the store."
"Oh um if you could get a bunch of snacks and what not that would be great I kinda planned this last minute." I awkwardly scratched the small of my back.
"No problem," he said walking away.
"Wait I'll join you," said Will chasing after him.

I headed back to where Kayla and Austin where after grabbing a few mattresses, I must have been holding at least 6 because I couldn't see. I stumbled into the room and dropped them in the middle of the room with a loud sigh.

"There's only four of us why did you bring so many mattresses," asked Kayla who snorted a bit when I tried to flop on the mattresses but fell.
"Welll," I said from the floor, "Im gonna see if Nico will join, and the other one is incase he decides I need a barrier to make Im fucking anyone."

We start putting the mats on the ground while we waited for our snacks to arrive. I stretched my arms, enjoying not being on edge since my father could snap at any second. Thankfully Kayla and Austin are just putting their stuff down on their mats.

"Where did you even get so many mattresses?" Asks Austin suddenly looking quizzical.
"Honestly I have no idea, I mean I know damn well Nico doesn't usually have people over." I shrug, I don't even know where half the stuff in my own house comes from anymore.

After we get settled down and Nico returns with Will and a plastic bag filled with snacks we finally start trying to decide on a movie.

"Im gonna say it and Kayla's gonna kill me," said Will as I scrolled through Netflix. "But we should chose a western." Right as Will said that a pillow flew across the the room and hit him hard.
"If I watch another western I will commit murder," Kayla said reaching for her pillow.

I continued flicking through films before I finally stopped on one I heard a few classmates talk about.
"I heard 'Falls' a good one?" I say clicking on it to read the description. Thankfully Im meet with agreement and I start the film.

At one point its shown thst the main character was hallucinating and her friend was dead so she shoved her shoe into the body and Kayla yelled.

"HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD WHY WHY WHY THATS FUCKING GROSS," yelled Kayla, desperately scooting away from the tv.
"Meh," said Nico speaking up for the first time.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "meh" SHE ATE THE FUCKING VULTURE." Said Kayla shielding her face from the film.
"I mean, said Nico, "its just a movie, being that deprived of water and interaction as well as contacting trauma would cause hallucinations and taking actions without thinking."
"STILL." Kayla yelled now hiding behind her pillow.

Finally the credits began to roll and I tossed the empty wrappers aside, Nico and Will had shown up when we were just under halfway through the film but they brought a shit tone of snacks so I didn't mind that they were late.

"So Will, what brings you to the outskirts of New York?" I ask trying to start small talk.
"Oh my parents are singers and they wanted to move closer to a better studio," he replies, blushing from embarrassment.

I nod before turning to Kayla and Austin to hear their responses.
"I came from Toronto," said Kayla, "and my mom and dad just got a divorce after years so my moms looking for a house."
"Im so sorry," I respond.
"Don't worry it was easy and mutual," says Kayla still cheerful.

I smile and look at Austin with curiosity.
"My parents wanted to get away from my Aunt in Texas so they used Wills family moving as an excuse so yeah." Said Austin, finishing his 3rd or 4th Dr.Pepper of the night.
"Cool!"

Finally after another two hours we all agreed to go to sleep, I saw Nico move to the door frame and pull out his phone and I rolled my eyes, he complained about always being tired but he didn't even try to sleep. My eyes felt heavy and I struggled to keep them open. I fell asleep soon later but to my misfortune I had a nightmare.

I was walking down the Alaskan hiking trail with my mom when she spotted a hidden cave a convinced me too go in with her, I didn't waste a second and followed her letting the curiosity take control. Inside the cave something in my gut was telling me too run but I didn't listen, even when the walls seemed to shake I stayed with my mom. Only a few minutes later the roof collapsed and I couldn't yell I couldn't yell I just stood there watching my mom get crushed her blood splattered on my face, the dust covered my face and clothes and yelling was heard as the authorities were called.

I woke up with a few quick gasping breaths only to see Kayla staring at me.
"Are you okay?" She asked her voice filled with concern.
"Yeah I just hade a weird scary dream I guess," I respond, lying through my teeth which hurt. It hurt to lie to people I called my friends but no one needed to know it was my problem not anyone else's.
"If you insist," responded Kayla.

Kayla, Austin and Will left around 13:00 so once they left Nico and I quickly cleaned up. Once we finished I headed outside in desperate need of fresh air and open air to breathe without the fear of being crushed by a giant rock.

An: Oh wow another filler chapter, I might not jeep my chapter order because it can wreck the plot at times so hold on tight.
