Promises

Together

I was with my dad while I was writing this and we were driving two hours away from home and it felt like I was running away by myself bc my mom and I had just gotten into an argument so I literally pulled this chapter right out my ass. If it's shit, you'll know why.

I woke up and got up from bed. I made my way downstairs with my phone in my hand as I texted Hayes back.
Hayes: Good Morning my beautiful girlfriend 💗
Hayes: you're probably still sleeping since it's only 8 am but it's good
Hayes: change my mind, it's not good. I'm vvvvv bored ash hurry up and wake up !!!
Hayes: oh my gosh are you dead
Hayes: hey ash, guess what
Hayes: you should maybe like wake up so we can like hang out already

Ash: boii tf
Ash: I'm not dead wth 😂
Ash: but I am hanging out !! I'll be there in an hour kkz

I continued walking down the stairs and I saw my mom on the couch watching the news.
"Morning mom." I smiled.
"Morning baby." She smiled back.
"I'm gonna be hanging out with Hayes today. I'll be home around 8." I say as I walk into the kitchen.
"Ashley, I don't think it's a good idea to be hanging out with that boy anymore."
"What? What do you mean? You love Hayes."
"I know sweetie but ever since you guys have been hanging out, your all of a sudden focused on him more than anything else."
"That's not true." It wasn't.
"Ashley I think it's best for everyone if you two just stop talking for a while."
"Best for everyone? What about me? Are my feelings just to stupid to matter or?"
"Ashley don't be like this. Don't make things harder than they already are."
"What am I doing? You're the one who's trying to band me from seeing my best friend. Who's now my boyfriend. Why are you treating me like a child? I'm 14. I think I deserve a little freedom and a little trust to choose my friends."
"I'm not treating you like a ch-"
"Yes you are! You always have! Ever since dad left, you've been trying to block me out from the world! What's so wrong about Hayes? You know what? Don't answer that. I don't care anymore. You can't stop me from seeing Hayes. You can't stop me from seeing my best friend." I ran out the door to Hayes' house. I walked through the door passing by mom and Nash. "Hey Ashley." Nash casually says walking pass me. "Hey. Hey mom." I say before walking upstairs to Hayes' room. "Ash? Your here early. Like 2 hours early. What's up?" He laughed. I plopped onto his bed. "Remember our talk?" "About...?" "Running away. Remember when you said that we can always runaway together. Whenever wherever?" "Yeah?" "Hayes, I want to runaway." I said seriously. "Are you being serious?" "More serious than that time where I said I would kill the person that scratched my favorite High School Musical cd." A tear slipped away from my eye. Hayes nodded pulling me into a hug. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together. We walked down the stairs and said our goodbyes to everyone. Telling them that we were going to go the beach. We kissed them and gave them hugs before leaving. We ran to our school and to our lockers. We went to Hayes' first and he pulled out a grey duffle bag and slung it over his shoulder. Next was my locker and I did the same. Mine was blue though. After that, we went and found the janitor that was always there. He was our plan. For everything. Our runaway plan depended on him. Without him, our plan was shit. I ran to the custodian closet and found it open with Kyle in it. All three of us  looked at each other. He turned his head a bit, questioning if it was that time. Hayes nodded and Kyle pulled out his keys and detached a car key from his chain. "You kids be careful, alright? You can always call me. I'm always here for you two. Stay safe. And don't you let anyone get in the way of running to your destination." We nodded and turned around to leave but before we did, I let go of Hayes hand and gave Kyle a hug. "Thank you Kyle." I say squeezing him. "Go sweetheart. Go find your happiness." He rubbed my back. I let go of him and ran back to Hayes. We jogged to the car. It was a black truck. Kind of rusted but it still looked a little new. Hayes is 15. He's already got his permit and he took his test last week. He just doesn't have a car to drive. We hopped in and began our trip. I rolled down the windows and stuck my hand out the window. The wind blowing my hair as I took in a deep breath of the warm air. I could finally breathe. I plugged in my iPod and played Tides. It made the whole moment so calm yet exciting. I looked to Hayes and he had a relieved look on his face. As if all the problems in the world had just disappeared. He looked to me as he smiled. He placed his right hand over my left as it was on my lap. He squeezed it as he smiled. "Where to?" He yelled over the blasting music. "I've never seen California before." I yelled back. "Los Angeles it is!" He yelled as he smiled. I can't believe it. We're finally on our way. We're finally free. We're running away. I'm running away. We're finally running away, together.
