Runaway

CHAPTER 2

"Aaah!",Rylie shouted.
"Rylie, what's wrong?", Chris yelled.
" I,...I,...,I had a bad dream, and...and, I saw
Mom!", Rylie said taking deep breaths in and out.
"Calm down, What?", Chris exclaimed.
"I saw mom, in my dream, and I couldn't get to her!"
"OK, it was just a bad dream, just get dressed, eat breakfast, and then you can go to school."
"OK, I will do that.",Rylie said as she breathed heavily.
"Good, I will be downstairs.", Rylie said as she calmed down a little.

After Rylie got dressed and ate, she said bye to everyone and walked to school.
When she arrived at school, it was the same old boring routine, math, history, language arts, lunch, science, and study hall.

After school, Rylie met up with her friends and they talked for a while before Rylie and her friends headed home.

As soon as Rylie opened the door and saw a group of people sitting at the table, she stopped in her tracks, as everyone stopped doing what they were doing, and turned slowly to her direction.

When Rylie noticed everyone looking at her, she stuttered to respond, "H..Hi, everyone."

Everyone responded with an "Hi" at different times, with an awkward wave.

"Oh, hi Rylie, we were just discussing things about the marriage"., as her dad said as he got up from the table. "Would you like to join us?"

"Um, sure." When she took her seat she noticed someone sitting a couple of seats across from her. It was her future husband. She couldn't help to stare and wonder what it would it would be like to marry someone that you don't love. It felt like hours, but it had been only minutes that she had been staring.

Snap. Rylie, are you okay?",Frank questioned.

Woken out of her stare, Rylie answered in shock, "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Rylie looked up at Jake, seeing a smirk on his face. Being totally embarrassed Rylie declined the meeting and went upstairs to her room.

Knock Knock. "Rylie, it's Jake, can I come in?"
"Sure.",Rylie responded. The door slowly squeaked as Jake slowly opened the door.
"Hi, I just came up here to check on you and make sure you were okay."
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." "I know that you don't want this marriage, but we can find out a way to make it work."
" There is no way that we can make this work, we don't even like eachother, this is just like a pretend marriage."

" Who cares if we don't like eachother, we can learn how, and find a way to make our parents happy.", Jake suggested.

" Well, what if I don't want to learn, are our parents going to flip out on us?!" Rylie screamed in anger and annoyance.
"Just get out." Jake stood there for a few seconds, "I said get out!" Rylie totally flipped out and she really regretted what she did that night.

Soon, she decided to forget about this situation, and take a quick nap before going downstairs.
