Chapter 3- Concerned Stranger
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Liv//
1:54am...
Jerk Dad has just come home from probably his 'girlfriend's' house. He won't come and check up on us.
He never does.
He never will.
That's just how it is.
It's basically like not having a father at all. To be honest I'd rather not have a father.
Riley is only just staying awake.
When I finally think both my mum and Jerk dad are asleep me Riley get our stuff together and sneak out of the window.
We barely made it out of the garden when our bedroom light came on.
A female figure could be seen behind the curtain. She looked like she was shouting.
Correction, she was shouting.
"Rie! Go!" I whisper shouted.
We bolted down the street and into town. There were no shops open. Hardly any cars past. The street was iscolated.
Me and my sister found a park bench and we sat on it. Almost immediatly, Rie fell asleep on my lap.
I stroked my sister's hair for comfort. She was scared, I could tell. She felt so cold. I took my jacket off and lay it on her.

I jolted up by someone shaking me.
When did I fall asleep? I looked at who was shaking me.
A concerned stranger was waking me up.
"Hello?" I said, groggily.
"Why are you here? Where are your parents?" He asked.
"We ran away." Riley stated. Way to go Rie.
"Why?" He sat down inbetween us.
"Because of our Jerk dad." We've already started. Lets just tell him the rest of our sop story.
"What does this 'Jerk dad' do?" He asked.
"He beats us and he cheated on our mum. But she doesn't believe us." I answered.
"We did here screaming before we left though." Riley admitted.
"Well, my name's Harry. And you girls are?"
"I'm Liv. Or Livvy. Any'll do."
"I'm Riley. Or Rie. I don't mind."
"Well, hi Liv and Riley. Lets get you two home."
"No Harry please!" We pleaded.
"Nope. Come on. We can get to know each other on the way."

"Favourite colour?" Harry asked.
"Green." Rie said.
"Orange " I said.
"Mine's purple. Don't ask." Harry smiled.
"Okay, what do you like to do?" I asked.
"Usually, I come and I don't wanna say babysit but...babysit kids. Its super fun." He answered, "You?"
"Well I sing, play piano and listen to 5 seconds of summer." Riley said.
"Samezees. But I play guitar not piano." I said.
"Sing children, SING!" Harry boomed, laughing.
"Ok. Um, Good Girls." I said.
"I'm harmonizing." Riley said.
Do, do do, do do do do do do do Riley started
She's a good girl
She's daddy's favourite
He saved for Harvard
He knows she'll make it.
She's good at school
She's never truant
She can speak French
I think she's fluent.
I carried on
Cause every night she studies hard in her room
At least that's what her parents assume
Both of us
She sneaks out the window to meet with her boyfriend,
here's what she told me the time that I caught them
She said to me
Forget what you thought
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
So just turn around and forget what you saw
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
"How was that, Harry?" Riley asked.
"That was...AWESOME!" He announced.
We burst out laughing.

Harry is funny as. He's like, the bestest best friend anyone could ever have.
We reached outside our lovely house, full of dreadful people.
I grabbed onto Harry's arm for support as he led us through the gate to our front door.
The door bell rang once...twice... thrice until someone opened it.
Our Jerk Dad.
I squeezed Harry's arm.
"Good afternoon. You must be Liv and Riley's father. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir." Harry smiled.
"Who are you?" Father asked, rudely.
"Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry. I'm Harry. I found your girls."
I shuddered at 'your girls'. I don't want to be his anymore.
"Keep 'em." Our Jerk Dad stated.
"Pardon?" Harry asked.
"I said, get those filfy rats out of my face. I never want to see them again in my life!" Jerk Dad barked.
Mum came up behind him and slapped Jerk Dad.
"Get out of my house!" She spat.
She looked at Harry and then us.
"Thank you so much, Harry. You really are a life saver." Mum hugged Harry, goodbye.
I gave Harry a tight sqeeze. So did Liv. And he walked out of the gate, and back down the street.
I turned to my mum...
