It was cold out, I didn't pack a jacket and I didn't know where to go. I had left my house about 6 hours ago at 3 in the morning.
I'm Mary and I'm running away. Im only 15 but screw it, anywhere is better then home. My dad has anger issues and tends to take his aggression out on me and my mom is addicted to many... many drugs. I've been planning this forever.
I don't have anyone who cares about me there so why bother staying before I grow up all screwed up? God I hate that thought... growing up. I've never had a regular childhood.. ever. I try to stay as normal as possible though. I don't know how I made it this far without going completely insane. I've got to find a park bench or something, somewhere I can sleep for a little while.
But somewhere they wont find me..
*Time skip*
It was about 3:00 pm when I woke up. Still cold but It's New York in December so what else would I expect?
I fell asleep on a park bench. I thought I was completely alone, until I herd a young mans voice behind me.
"Sleepy?" He asked as I whipped around. It startled me.
"Yeah, park benches arnt the best things to sleep on. Why do you care?" I said with an attitude.
"Honestly I don't if youre going to be so rude about it. All I did was ask if you were tired." As he started walking away.
He was very tall, looked about 17 maybe 18. He was wearing a dark green pull over and black skinny jeans. He had light brown, almost red hair and dark green eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound... I had a rough night." I said again.
He stopped to turned around. He started walking back to the bench and sat down on the other side of it across from me.
"Why is someone so young sleeping on a park bench alone? Where's your mommy" he said with a teasing tone.
"I'm not that young! I'm old enough to be on my own... Definitely. " Defending myself.
There was a slight pause before he started laughing.
"Its time to get you something to eat Mary! You haven't had food in a while huh?" He stood up from the bench. "Come on lets go find a place to eat"
I started with the words "Wait how the fuc..?" But before I could finnish he grabbed my hand and dragged me with him.
He looked harmless, he was very slim but had some muscle. Enough to drag me with him to the nearest restaurant.
"I know your name so it's only fair you know mine. I haven't properly introduced myself anyways."
"Hello Mary, my name is Peter. "
