Runaway [Rilaya AU]

Eleven -- Maya.

Someone please message me, I'm dying of boredom and need someone to talk to.

(What I'm listening to: Too Close -- Alex Clare)

~ Leaf

P.S. -- To my love who says she's going to steal a kitten (I keep forgetting to tell you this wtf), they're gone. :( We thought maybe she just moved them, but we couldn't find them anywhere.

---------------------

As soon as I've climbed back over the guardrail, Riley's arms are around my shoulders, squeezing me tightly. 

"Maya. Maya, what were you thinking? Please never do that again, please." She's crying, her words hardly understandable due to the sobbing. "I need you, please."

"I won't." My voice is hardly a whisper. "I wasn't thinking, I'm sorry. All I knew was that my only source of happiness was going to be taken from me."

Riley, to my surprise, laughs a little. "It's going to take more than my parents sending you back for me to stay away from you. I love you, Maya." She wraps me in a hug again, and I accept it, my arms slowly moving to wrap around her waist.

"I love you, too, Riley."

We slowly walk back to Riley's house, hand-in-hand. When we get there, neither of us even look at her parents, going straight upstairs and to her bedroom.

We each do our own things for the rest of the evening -- Riley getting herself lost in a fiction book while I decide to do a bit of doodling. But I'm positive both of our minds (when we lose concentration on what we're doing) are on the same thing. The events of earlier.

When it's time for bed, I cuddle up next to Riley, breathing in her scent and embracing her warmth. As if she's read my mind, Riley starts talking as she absentmindedly plays with my hair.

"I have a plan, although I'm not sure how you'd feel about it."

"Shoot."

"We could run away. Together."

Oh.
