Barely Legal

Sweet Escape

It was 7:23 in the morning . I was still in Grayson's arms . I woke up to him running his fingers through my hair . He looked down at me and smiled . I wrapped my arms around him , my face on his chest . "I could get used to waking up like this ." He mumbled to my forehead . I forgot about all my problems and enjoyed the moment . It was super cold and the blanket we had was really small . Every part of our bodies were touching each other . Grayson's friend down there seemed to get a bit colder as well . I laughed and he blushed , biting his lip .

We stayed in that position for quite a while , I almost went back to sleep . Suddenly , a nurse knocked on the door and walked in . It was probably for Grayson's breakfast . We pretended to be sleeping . The nurse cleaned up yesterday's breakfast and left . I inhaled the smell of Grayson's jacket and slowly sat up . Before I got off the bed , he wrapped his arms around my waist . I looked back at him . He tapped on his left cheek , I raised an eyebrow . "Please ." He asked softly . I slowly leaned in and gave him a long kiss on the cheek . As I was moving back , he held my head and put it against his lips . His lips on my temple . We smiled .

I grabbed my bag and tippy toed to the bathroom because the floor was freezing . I did my morning routine . Wash my face , brush my teeth , floss , did my eyebrows , and changed into casual clothes . I needed to get out of here to find that shooter . I need to find out where he was last seen or where he would hide out . I wore a white t-shirt , black tights , and a black cardigan . I went back out and unplugged my phone from the charger . "Where are you going ?" Grayson asked curiously . "I need to get out of here . I have to find the guy that might have my wallet ." I answered not sure of what I was doing . "First off , I'm coming with you . Second , you're insane . Third , do you even who you're looking for ? Fourth , where do you plan on looking ? Last , how the freak are we gonna get out of here ? This place is on lockdown !" Grayson was right . "One , umm no . Two , yeah but so are you . Three , yes . His name is Asher Michaelson . 19 . Has green and or gray eyes . 6'1" . Four , wherever a teenage shooter would hide . Last , I'm getting out of here . I'll find a way ." I sassed at him . "Haha , no . We'll find a way ." He got out of bed wearing casual clothes . How did he ? Ugh . Nevermind . I grabbed my phone and my car keys . We looked around for doctors and nurses . I knew an exit door near the back parking . No one ever goes there because it was also the storage area that was all packed up . Perks of having a mom that works here , I know the code to unlock the door . Grayson and I walked calmly pass nurses and doctors . We sat on a bench pretending to talk about whatever and waited till it was all clear . We ran to the exit door . Grayson was rushing me because he said someone was coming . 22742 . I never knew what that stood for . We ran out . Thank God no one heard or saw us . The security camera near that exit door has been shut down for ages . We slowly walked to my car . I used the key to unlock it , I got in and unlocked the passenger door as well . I started the engine and rushed out of there .
"We are fucking awesome ." Grayson laughed .

I drove to Grayson's house so he could get whatever he needed . I waited for him for about 5 minutes . He came down with a gym bag filled . What the heck ? He got in and put his seatbelt on . "Hey , what'd you put in the bag ?" I asked him as I drove to a store . "Umm . My shoes , two baseball bats , a pack of gatorade , two blankets , two flashlights , a jacket , and some snacks ." He said trying to remember what he brought . "Well , I'm gonna get down to get some food , do you want anything ?" I asked taking off my seatbelt . I had about $200 in my phonecase . I really have to spend this wisely . "Uh yeah , just water ." He answered . I went in and grabbed a basket . I got two hotdogs , grabbed two bottles of water , grabbed two packs of gum , and a small bag to carry important things in . I payed for it and left . I was planning on going home to get more clothes and more money but I knew that my mom and Cai would be waiting for me to come home . I needed to find my wallet before I could go home . I needed to find that guy . I parked near the neighbor's car and snuck into my house . I went to the garden where there was a big tree that had a ladder that climbed up to my room . Hehe , I used that to sneak out whenever my friends had midnight parties . Shit , Keeper spotted me . Aww , I missed my baby . I hugged him and played with him for a while . I climbed up the ladder and got to my room . Keeper was howling and barking everywhere . He was running to my room , I knew he was . I immediately grabbed money from my money bank and grabbed some clothes . I opened my door quietly and let in my dogs . Keeper , Princey , and Koda were all excited to see me . I didn't want to leave them . I heard my mom calling for them . I hugged them all tightly and they whined as I went back out the window . "I'll be home soon ." I wiped my tears and ran back to my car .
