"Catch me if you can"
Matilda Colombo had been running her entire life, until it all came to a crashing ending. Being caught was not her thing, and everyone knew it, or so they thought that they did. Living in the unsafe outskirts of Los Angeles, w...

For some odd reason, the words that my brother had spoken to me, had warmed my heart, and I had let him convince me to go on a drive with him. I knew that I was letting my guard down, so I made sure that when I walked between Axel and Hendrix, I did not give them my two cents. Even when Hendrix tried to speak to me about tonight, I just gave him my middle finger, and kept walking.
"You know, one day, doing that is going to get you in trouble" my brother chuckled as he pulled out one of the expensive cars that I knew my brothers owned. I just shrugged my shoulders, before I gave him the same finger I had given my eldest brother, and he just chuckled even harder. It was good to know that at least one of us knew how to laugh.
"I know, but it's fun while it lasts" I spoke, turning my face to the window, as I watched the property I had been at for less than a couple of hours, whisk away before my eyes, before my brother was then handing me his phone, as I just took it with suspicion. I watched him eye me from the side of his eye, before he sighed.
"Your supposed to put music on, not make a big deal out of it" the way he was huffing and puffing beside me, made it hard to not at least have a small smirk aimed at my brother, even though his words reminded of me of our mother. The same mother that had told me at the age of 7, that I needed to know how to be an adult, and what to do when we had no running water in the house. That I needed to know everything at 7 years old.
"Gee, I hope I don't have to be there when you see the person that pissed in your cereal" I grumbled, before I was flicking through some music, before settling on a few songs. I let them play, as I kept a hold on my brothers phone, while I watched everything change in front of my eyes. I was at peace, with the fact that my brother was willing to spend time with me.
The only people that had stayed with me, to spend more than what most people at school, had been the 3 friends I had made when I was little. I was such a horrible person, that even my mother couldn't stick around to find that much out. It was like she knew it in her heart, without looking at me when she spoke to me, that I was not worth her time. I was nothing to her.

For some reason, being convinced to shop with the twins and Blade, was actually quiet a good idea. I don't know why, but the twins had fucked off, which left me with Blade, who wasn't so bad. He was still a storm cloud, don't get me wrong, but he was here on a mission, and we did just that, in what felt like less than an hour.
We had picked up the few things that Hendrix wanted me to get for my room, then we got some clothes that I was allowed to pick out, and I was sure that I was surprising my brother by not picking the most skimpiest clothes out there. I had the money to actually dress nice for once, and I was going to take it while I could, while still not spending an absurd amount.
