Rose Buds Don't Last Forever (Phantom x Reader)#Wattys2016

Chapter 2

The rain was coming down as if it was hail. You forgot your umbrella so it just hit your head. Luckily your father's grave is under a tree. You made your way through the tombs and found your father's.

"Father what should I do, I want to become a ballerina but we don't have the money to move to Paris." You spoke. Then you thought of running away again, this time you thought about it harder.

"This is the last time I'll see you." You spoke tears coming out of your bright
E/c eyes. You ran home knowing mother was at work, packed your things, and wrote a letter to your mother telling her every thing, and you set out. The bad thing was, that you had to take foot which could be 10 hours or more. You thought that maybe along the way you could ask to stay with people.
~4 hours later~

It was 4 long hours later and you were tired and your feet were aching severely. You tracked down a man with Blonde hair and freckles.

"Hello mister." You waved.

"What do you need?" He asked a little cocky. You stepped back a little preparing for something that could happen.

"Umm is there any way I could stay with you, I'm broke and I ran away from home." You looked down at your half eaten granola bar.

"Hey, I'm a run away to, come with me." The boys expression became happy. You followed the boy to a little place with a girl and two guys. This is Heaven, the boy pointed to the girl, this is Damen, he pointed to a boy with brown hair, and this is Harry, he pointed at a boy with red hair and freckles lining his face.

"Nice meeting you all, now may I ask who you are?" You turn to the blonde boy.

"I'm terribly sorry, my name is Oliver." The boy smiled. You smiled and looked around.

"This is were all the runaways usually stay for a night or more." The boy smiled you smile back knowing that there is more then just you that has run away.

"So where are you going?" Damen asked.

"I'm going to the Opera Populaire." You smile. All the four kids give you a shocked look.

"Have you not heard of the Phantom?" Oliver asked surprised.

"I have not, but can you tell me?" You ask politely.

"The phantom is a man that hides in the shadows killing people for someone he loves, no one knows what he looks like, but maybe it's better that way." Oliver shook.

"I don't belive it." You cross your arms.

"Some people choose not to, but keep your hands at the level of your eyes." Heaven spoke with ease. You look around trying to change the subject.

"This is quite an interesting place you have." You look around.

"Thanks, Heaven, Damen, Harry, and I built it ourselves, say how old are you?" Oliver asked.

"I'm 18, and I'm from England, how old are you?"

"We're all 12 all except for Damen, he is 14." Oliver said. You look at the house and the kids.

"How did you guys make this." You ask turning to Oliver.

"Well, we put all our minds together, it took us a year and a half to finish it." Oliver laughed. You look back at the scenery and to Oliver.

"How many rooms are in this place?" You ask looking at the scenery.

"14 rooms that can fit 3 people in each." Oliver smiled. Oliver waved his hand to follow him and you did. He stopped in front of a f/c room.

"How did you know my favorite color?" You asked astonished.

"I didn't." Oliver walked off. You put your bag on the bed in the room, it reminded you of the room you had as a child, and it reminded you of home. You thought about how your mother will be worried that you haven't come home, but you made this move and there is no going back now.
