I grab a small rucksack and start stuffing random items in it. "What!? Wait what's happening? You can't just come over here, please think about this," Rick pleades desperately.

"Rick I don't have time to think, if I do my head will explode," I explain breathlessly. I throw my bag over my shoulder and make my way out. "Rick if you don't let me stay at your place I can find somewhere else."

Rick goes silent for a moment and sighs, giving in. "Fine I'll send you the address, just call me if you have any problems," with that he hangs up. I must've sounded so selfish and ignorant to all his problems, I should probably apologize.

My phone receives a text from Rick, it's the address. He was right it is the next city but it's probably going to take at least 3 hours to get there by train.

I walk into Lexi's room and find her sleeping. My hand goes to shake her shoulder but she is already awake. "Lexi, listen I'm going to see Rick, tell dad," I say clearly so I don't have to repeat myself.

"Wai, what? Didn't he move away?" She says turning on the lamp light.

"Yeah I know but I need to see him ASAP, please," I inform her in a hurry.

"Ok fine whatever but if dad goes looking for you I can't do anything, where you going?"

"I'm going to the next city, right I'm going bye love you," with that I speed out the house, grab my keys and take a bus to the main station.

It usually takes 20 minutes to get there so I have time to collect my thoughts. Zach is probably so pissed at me, I wont be surprised if he cuts me off. I wish I had someone to talk to, I just need to spill out all my thoughts.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm starting to miss Lana. But I don't understand why she had to lie to me. Just so she can have me all to herself, just so she can take advantage of me. I never even thought once she would bretray me. Thinking about it makes my heart sink.

I can't wait to see Rick, I know its only been like a week or something. But so much has happened. He feels so far away but so close right now. It's probably because I need him the most.

The bus stops to a halt and I jump off immediately. I find the train that can take me there and go buy a ticket. The lady was very stingy and cranky, some people have no chill. I get on the train and find that there's no space and I'm not sitting next to some creepy grown guy who has never heard of deodorant. So I stand up in a corner near the door with my headphones plugged in. I listen to Happy Song by Bring Me The Horizon and scroll through some art. To be honest I love to draw and looking at art is the best thing ever. It never ends and amazes you in so many ways. "Excuse me ma'am could you tell me which train I need to take for the airport," I look up and find a young adult male looking at me with a map in his hand. I take off my headphones and look down at the map. "Yeah if you stop at the next station then take the S1 you should get to the town of the airport and then just take a bus to the airport," I ramble quickly studying the map.

"Thank you so much have a good day," he smiles and speeds off before I can say anything back.

I can't help but watch him as he goes to sit down. I suddenly avert my eyes when he looks up. The train stops and a few people come off so I go take their seat. The journey will be long and boring so I continue to listen to music and look outside the window.

A few stops later and I'm surrounded with other people. Rick calls me. The service is crap so I have to make this quick.

"Hi I'm on the train," I say in a low voice. I keep my eyes down so I don't have to make awkward eye contact.

"Hey, I'm just checking on you," he replies.

"Ok well I'm going to hang up because the service is bad on the train."

"'Kay bye," he ends the call and I look up seeing that there is only one guy, that looks about the same age as me," sitting around me.

"Boyfriend?" He questions arrogantly. His hair is blond and he is wearing jeans and white top. To be honest he looked liked the average f***boy.

"Um what's it to you?" I question back in disgust.

He narrows his eyes and smirks, "oh fiesty, well is it?"

I start to redden and look away, "jerk." I stand up and move away to stand up, only 2 more stations.

After so long I finally come off and take a taxi to the address given to me. The ride isn't too long so I arrive quickly.

The taxi stops and I'm surprised by what I see. This is Ricks house!? In front of my very eyes was a modern white 2 story house. The glass balcony gave a fantastic view of the city. A shiny untouched garage opened up to reveal an empty but impressive interior. Greenery surrounded the house, adding colour to the white house.

I rang the gold bell at the side of the glass door, I could basically see my reflection. I waited a few seconds before the door was opened, and who stood before me wasn't who I was expecting.

It was a girl...
