Lilly's POV

When I found out that Kyle ran away I knew exactly where to look.

Kyle and I have been friends longer than anyone else, when I was born Kyle's mom was best friends with my mom and was at the hospital, she was also pregnant. A month and a half after I was born Kyle was born and because our moms were such good friends we were always together. Back where we used to live which was about two hours away, we were neighbors and we lived by a lake, we built this fort that we would always go to, then in fifth grade my mom got a new job and we moved to where we live now, Kyle was so devastated that his mom moved with us. We started dating freshman year and we would always go to our old fort, it was pretty big, and we would just look out at the lake or make out or whatever we wanted to do. I laughed at the memories I was remembering with him, it kind of sucks that our moms aren't as good friends now as they used to be, and that he got mean after his parents got divorced.

"How did you know I would be here?" I was walking toward Kyle as he sad it, "Everyone's worried about you. There is a search team and everything." we both laughed a little, "I thought you hated me?" I could hear the sadness and tears in his voice, I sat next to him, "I never hated you, I hate the way you became, after everything." I looked down at the ground, "So do I." I looked at him, "Why?" he looked at me with a confused face, "Why did you get mean, after like a year into our relationship you got mean. And why did you fight with Luke?" he sighed and looked out to the lake. "When my parents split up they blamed me, said it was the way I acted that made them get a divorce." I watched as the tears ran down his face, "I fought with Luke because he didn't just take my girlfriend, he took my best friend, I miss you." I looked at him and smiled, "I'm sorry." "For what?" "For everything, making you move here, asking you out, we were better as friends, and I'm also sorry for not just breaking up with you as my boyfriend but also leaving you, you are best friend, I miss you too." he smiled and looked at me sticking his hand out, "Friends?" "Best friends." I leaned and gave him a hug, "But only if you come back to school." he looked back at the Lake, "I cant," "Why?" "everyone hates me there, and I also don't want to go to jail." I laughed, "Everyone is looking for you, only some people hate you but I know how to fix that, and you wouldn't go o jail for running away." "That's not why I would go to jail, I would go because I broke in, to the hospital. The night you were taken there you were on the first floor, I read Stacy's tweets and found out what room you were in...

Flashback (Kyle's POV)

I walked up to the window  and saw her there, she looked like she was in so much pain, I slowly opened the window all the way instead of just a little, after I took the screen out, I pulled myself up and fell into the room, "Ouch!" as I was getting up I heard the door open and I quickly went over to Lilly, I grabbed her hand, "Hey you cant be in here! Get away from her!" I looked at the nurses then back at Lilly, "I'm sorry." I could feel the tears rolling down my checks, then someone grabbed my arm, "I said get away from her!" I quickly got loose and jumped out the window.

I ran and ran until I was almost out of town, "Wow I didn't realize I could do that." laughing to myself my laugh turned into crying and I melted to the ground, then I just kept on walking, knowing of only one place that could make me even a little bit happy. 

Present ( Lilly's POV)

"... and then I ended up here, this is where I have been the past two months, three weeks, and two days."

Wow he knew the exact time I was in the hospital for.

"How are you still alive?" we both started laughing, "I had some money on me, so I went to the store and bought a sleeping bag, pillow, flashlight with like four battery packs, and box of cereal. then the next day I went and stole a newspaper from someone's porch got a job with a fake name, bought one other outfit for the interview and the money I earn I spend on food, batteries, and clothes." I smiled at the thought of him being not lazy and actually getting a job, "So that's why you smell bad." I laughed and plugged my nose, he laughed a pushed my arm a bit, "No, my boss knows that I don't have a house, he gives me a little extra every now and then, but he lets me come in everyday early and use the bathroom. I don't know why but it has a shower so I bought some shampoo, body wash and a toothbrush." "Wow." All I could do was stare at him, not believing my eyes that see this young man making a living without actually living.

He got up and started to walk to out fort, "Speaking of work I have a shift in an hour." He looked down at me, "Wanna come?" " No I should get back home." I got up and walked to him, he looked sad, "No really you should come, you can make up your own name and be whoever you want to be, please just as a one time thing!? I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Fine, lets go I will drive you." "Great that means I have a little time to get ready." I followed him into our fort, it was still in pretty good shape for being made in the bushes with a branch/leaf roof, that now had a tarp over it, and the flooring that was pine needles is now a blanket, there was room for about five freshman to be standing up in different spots, with very little room between them. I looked to my right, which had a little more space, and saw a sleeping bag with a pillow and a flashlight next to it and a pile of clothes with a bag at the foot of it. "Wow, isn't it uncomfortable here?" he looked around then back at me, "It was, now I'm used to it. No one comes here anymore, I mean you saw how its fenced in with a gate." I remembered coming in, there was a tall wire fence around the park and the gate was locked so I went in through a hole in the fence. "You might want to wait outside." I started to turn around, "Why wou-" I was stopped because when I turned around Kyle had no shirt on and was taking his pants off, I screamed and left the tent, I could hear him cracking up inside the tent which made me start laughing too.

I told him to meet me by my car out front, I was in the car waiting when my phone started going off, I picked it up...

Lilly- Hello

Luke- Hey where are you I cag find you, your mom is worried sick and Stacy told me you ran off after hearing about Kyle, please tell me you didn't go looking for him.

Lilly- Luke calm down I am safe and fine, I will text my mom when I'm done talking to you, yes I did go looking for Kyle but that's none of your business we were friends before everything, I know how to deal with him.

(Kyle got in the car and smiled at me)

Luke- Lilly please just tell me where you are, or better, come home, please I love you and I don't want you to get hurt.

Lilly- I have to go.

I hung up the phone and smiled at Kyle, "Where to?" he laughed, "Just go straight down this road." he gave me tons of directions then finally we pulled up to a small diner, "This is where you work?" "Yea it pays good and the boss is nice to me." I smiled and we went inside. "Hey Brock, this is my friend Lilly, Lilly this is my boss Brock." I smiled and waved, he seems nice.

We walked and Kyle let me sit at the bar like thing so that we could still talk, he went in the back to get his work stuff on and came back with a salad, "Yes! Thanks Kyle. I was wondering what was taking so long." we laughed and I stated eating, "Yep it's on the house." I gave him a smile saying thanks and kept eating.
