Runaway Bride

Four.

See You When You Get Home

"The ending was sad. I mean he went all the way to her and she didn't want him to find her. But she fucken left clues, dumb." Mia commented on Paper Towns as we exited the movie theater. I just nodded having no words to say. My mind was on Jason. Why did he have to come back into my life? What did I ever do to deserve this and I couldn't think of anything.

"Kylie, whats wrong? You seem, out of it." Mia asked as we both stood outside besides her car standing by the doors not moving as we held a stare.

Should I tell her? I mean she did know Jason from when we were both dating before. But what if Jason hurts her, plus there was no way she'd let me go through with marring him after everything he had put me through in the past but in all honesty I had no choice. And she wouldn't understand that because to her there's always a way.

"Sorry, just still stuck on the dumb movie. It made no sense how she led him on." I faked laughed hoping she bought it and would drop the subject. I watched her expression as she just smiled and nodded lightly. "Let's get you home." We both got into the car as she turned on the radio, rolling down the windows before driving out of the parking lot.

I carefully reached into my jean pockets and pulled out my phone, clicking it on and looking at the screen.

From Jason
Where the fuck are you !?!?

My palms became a little sweaty as I stare at the text not sure what to respond until I decided to lie my way out of it. It was only twelve and he didn't need to know I was with Mia.

To Jason
At home duh.

"So how's the apartment finding coming along?" Mia asked breaking the silence, trying to start a convo as she kept her eyes focused on the road.

I was so distracted by Jason squishing himself back into my life that I forgot about me moving out. I mean who wants to live with their parents when their 20? I love them to death but not me.

"Well I got the money part down. But i'm still searching for that dream apartment." I laughed staring out the window watching the lights and almost for a minute I forgot about Jason.

From Jason
I'm in your room baby. You know I hate liars, see you when you get home.

Fear had entered my body as I reread the message over and over again. I didn't want to go home, I know what was to come when he was in arms reach of me. It was then I realized we were reaching the street of my house, I had to think of something quick.

"I just got a text from my mom, there out. Do you think I could spend the night at your apartment?" I spit out whatever came to mind first hoping she'd say yes.

"Of course, we can have a sleep over!" She squealed before she swiftly turned the car around and began to continue to drive. I bit my lip nervouly as I watched as we got farther away from my house. But I rather not deal with Jason at the moment. I just need some space before I marry him.
