Runaway

Friends Chapter 7

I was hugging Sarah crying into her shoulder. This was the most happiest day of my life. Seeing the person I lov-(we will save that for later). In all honesty I was just happy to see her.

This went on for 30 minuets. I then pulled away from her and looked down.

"W-what are you doing here? How did you find me?" I asked hastily.

She smiled, "Nova I'm here because I can't let my best friend be gone now can I? And I found you through using one of Nolan's tracking devices."

At the mention of Nolan my smile kind of faded, "Oh."

I stood up and helped Sarah up.

"The others are here you know. We didn't know what happened to you....we all thought you were dead...why did you leave?" Sarah had questioned worried.

I bit my bottom lip then said, "I-it doesn't matter now...."

The real reason she ran was not just because she was ashamed that she had taken Dipper Gleeful's side. But she was being hunted by a demon hunter. And from past experiences they don't care about anything else...so the demon hunter could hurt Sarah...and she can't let that happen.

No Sarah was...well she loved Sarah. Sarah has always been there for her. And she didn't know why. She had never done anything nice or special. So why would Sarah be her friend? This was the question that had been pondering in Novas pretty little mind for the longest of times.

I lifted my head up since I was looking at the ground, to be welcomed by a kiss. Not on the cheek not on the forehead. On the lips.

I was shocked and happy at the same time. My face was red and so was hers. When she finally pulled away. She smiled still blushing like crazy.

"You didn't look so happy, so maybe that would help?" Sarah said as she turned around, "Now come on. Everyone else wants to see you!"

She then walked away and I followed. What the fuck just happened!?! Did Sarah just...k-kiss me!?! I'm so confused now...I thought Sarah was straight-wait maybe it's like a motherly kids on the lips?

I kept on thinking about that the whole way until we made it to the Hotel room that they had been using I suspect. When we walked inside I hid behind Sarah.

Nobody said anything, everyone was doing something. Lufus and Dylan were whispering to eachother flirting. Nolan was typing on his computer and writing stuff down. Then Mabel was reading.

Sarah then coughed and said, "Guys?"

Everyone looked up at the doorway from what they were doing. Since Sarah was shorter than me there was no use hiding behind her. Everyone was silent.

Then Nolan had broken it, he was crying and said. "N...nova I'm so sorry....Its my fault you left isn't it?...Can we just call it truce?...."

What was this!?! I didn't know what to do....

"Uh....sure I mean...its not your fault I left....but it could be added onto the list I guess?" I had said a bit confused.

Dylan had walked to the restroom and you could hear him crying. I couldn't tell if it was happy crying or sad.

Mabel stared at me and said, "Welcome back."

God I hated that bitch. Even though I hated her I knew I had to keep my self under control and not lose it. I sighed and nodded.

For the rest of the day I heard them talking thinking I couldn't hear. They were saying things like, "Let's go back now! With her!" Or things like, "Can't we just sneak out?"

I got annoyed after a while and said, "You guys can leave if you want. I'm not going."

They all turned and looked at me as I was watching the TV.

"I'm not going. I'm staying." I had repeated.

Sarah said in a soft timid voice, "Why stay here?"

I thought for a moment then sighed, "Well. It's dangerous for me back in our town. And here well...I have a child hood friend here. And she obviously won't be making friends any time soon."

There was silence for a moment until Sarah broke it, "Well if your staying then I'm staying too!"

Mabel rolled her eyes, "Fine me too."

Nolan butted in saying, "I'll find a lab down here."

Dylan had been quiet then gulped saying, "If you guys are staying I will too...."

I was shocked...then started crying. Sarah hugged me. I smelled her sweet strawberry scent. And the warmth of her arms as she hugged me while I cried.

Is this really the emotion of love I feel deep down? Why though...I don't understand. This isn't what I felt like when I thought I had liked Adam.

  I don't like this at all. It's confusing and infuriating. I continued to cry as my sobs became louder and louder. Eventually I had fallen asleep being hugged by Sarah.

I was the shrouded in darkness once more. So I'm back again...to this place....I don't like it here. It's dark. And lonely. No one here to talk to.

The warmth that was in my chest only a few seconds ago had vanished. It was now filled with coldness and fear.

How a can be so pathetic like I? I thought I was actually a good at being a demon. But apparently. I'm not. I'm just a failure aren't I?

Soon I started to cry again. I felt a pain. And when I looked down my tears had been burning me. It stun. As if the tears were acid. In my dreams of course.

It continued to sting. Suddenly my eyes blinked open and I saw up on a bed with blankets over me. I guess I'm awake now. That's good I guess...
