Cimorelli and Lauren's Problem

dani's plan

we walked into the grocery store, im still freaking out.  rachel is probably out by now! she could come find me! calm down lauren!!!! calm down!!!!!  while christina and lisa are debating over the lunch meat i walk it off.  

ok good, im more calm now.

i go back over to christina and lisa, who finally picked to get turkey meat.

"are we almost down" i just want to get home. home is safer

"hold on laur, we still have a few things" christina was looking at the bread now.

i impationantly waited for them to finish, it took forever.

when we get back to the car i quickly hop in and buckel up.

"come on lets go!" i shout

"woah, why are you in such a hurry"  lisa climbs into her seat.

"i just want to get home" i lied.

"ok, we are going" christina starts the car and drives.

we get home and i run into the house.  with out stopping i run to my room and shut the door.

what do i do now?  i cant just stay in here forever.  rachel will come back.

i pace around, my heart beats fast.

"what are you doing?" dani asks sticking her head out from under our bunk bed.

"what are you doing should be the question." i just stare at her.

"i was playing with the little boys, this is my headquaters" she crawls out.

"oh." i start to pace again.

"whats wrong?" she can tell im worried.

"nothing, dont worry"  i sit on lisa's bed.

"lauren, i can tell somethings wrong. please dont hide it from me. i can help"  she comes and sits next to me.

"dani you are 9, i dont think you can help me" i say, a tear threatening to come out of my eye.

"i can try" she gives me a puppy dog face. "please"

i quess i can tell her. but only her.

"dani, you cant tell anyone" i look at her

"i wont, promise" she smiles.

"well.. that girl, that hurt me... the police let her go.  she's going to come back for me" i get up and look out the window.

"what! why did they let her go?!  you need to tell mom and dad!" dani freaks out.

"no!  dani i cant tell them.  they let her go because i said it wasnt her" i start to cry. 

"why would you do that?!?!" dani asks.

"because, i was scared she would hurt me worse."  i slide down the wall until in sitting, with my knees tucked into my chest. "i dont know what to do dani. please help me"

i couldnt help it, i cried really hard. let every thing out for a good 10 minutes, dani was there comforting me.

"i got it!" she finally said.

i look at her and wipe my tears "what?"

"we run away, just you and me. only for a little bit." she stands up and helps me up.

"thats crazy dani, we cant do that." i said. is she insane?

"no, listen" she starts "it wont be forever. only until this rachel problem calms down.  maybe rachel will forget about you and we can come back."

"where will we go?" i ask

"i dont know, some ones house" she thinks. "maybe elli's or angela's.  or even nick's (reali)" dani is proud she came up with that.

"yeah, ok.  i think it might work"  i hug dani. "thank you"

"your welcome laur" she hugs me back. "we can talk about it more tonight after dinner"

"ok" i go to my bed and sit on it.

dani leaves our room and leaves me alone to think.
