Chapter 18

Recap: 

"Jump. I'll catch you!" He puts the bags down he's hold and hold out his arms. I nod as I throw down my bag. he catches it without a sound. "ready?" He whispers. I nod. I try to keep enough resistance for the fall. But before I know it I'm on the ground . He took my hand. "We gotta run. Your dad is still on the porch, but he's sleeping. I put my bag on my back and a bag Glitch packed for me as we crept alongside the fence and began sprinting up the street towards the city. The safest place we have left.

Aminta's  POV 

I feel tears brimming my eyes as we reach a bus stop and wait. What the heck am I doing? Mom wouldn't want this for me! I feel a tear roll down my cheek. 

"Jordan. " my voice cracked. I could feel his eyes staring at me. 

"Aminta. I.. I'm sorry. But if you want to leave with your dad , it's-" I cut him off and hugged him as I began to cry. 

"Jordan I don't have anyone. No one at all. I'm sorry I ever got you into my life. I'm sorry I'm such a screw up. I do everything wrong! I'm just... I'm just..." I cry harder into his chest. He didn't place his head onto mine and he was barely holding me tight. He just had his hands placed onto my back. Something is wrong. I looked up at him as saw that he was jaw dropped. "What? What is it?" He pointed to the direction behind me. I saw a tall man wearing camouflage running straight towards us. "Jordan. Run!" He nodded as we began running straight through the dark streets of our little town. My dad was after me. Glitch was slowing down. I could tell he was scared out of his wits. He could barely function. He knew that if my dad caught up, we'd be dead. And I'm pretty sure I wasn't using sarcasm there. I gripped his wrist tighter. 

"Trying NOT to get killed Jordan!" I yelled at him which brought him back to his senses. We began to sprint faster and faster, not looking back just running until we couldn't breathe. We sprinted right into the city and went into a dead end. Fortunately, my dad gave up a while ago and got off our tails. I was breathing heavy as we found a subway tunnel and went down. I got us tickets as we sat, waiting for the train. 

"I'm sorry Aminta. I really didn't mean any harm by this." Glitch shoved his head in his hands. 

"I know Glitch. I don't know what has gotten into our parents. But There is at least one place I know, we can survive at the least." 

"DCI." We said in unison. We hear the train pulling up as we hopped on. I sat down next to Glitch as I layed my head on his shoulder and just like that. It was lights out for me. 

~time skip~

"Minty. Minty. Aminta!" I felt a harsh poke on my shoulder. I abruptly sat up and looked over to Glitch with my eyes wide. 

"What! what! what's wrong?!" I felt a panic rise . He gently placed his hands on my shoulders. 

"Calm down. We stopped. that's all. " I let out a sigh of relief as I grabbed my bag and got off. We walked out the tunnel and it was still pitch black. "I texted Rasa. He should be here any minute." 

"Rasa. Are you kidding me? He's going to take my dads side. " 

"No. Trust me Minty. I know what I'm doing." he kept looking forwards. 

"You better know otherwise I will kill you." 

"Man, you're cranky under pressure." He joked. 

"Are you freaking serious right now? You think this is a game?" 

"Minty. Just chill. Look, Here's Rasa right now. " He gestured to the limo pulling over. Rasa got out and ran over to us. 

"Hey, you guys a'ight?" He was wearing DCI pajama pants and a black, short sleeve shirt with cute little pink bunny slippers. 

"We're okay now. So can you ya know..." Glitch started. 

"Oh yeah yeah. sure. you guys are safe with us. " Rasa then yawned. "Now I'd love to stay and chat but i am exhausted and it's 3 am. Do you mind picking up the process?" He slumped his shoulders. I knocked back into my senses before opening the car door and sliding in my seat. After the door closed and we began to drive off I turned to Glitch. 

"What?" was all I could say. Glitch smirked at me. 

"Told you I got everything under control. " 

"What is going on?" 

"We will be living in a temporary building until the home situations are under control. Just don't worry about anything okay?" 

"I am trusting you with my life right now. You better be right." I sat back in my seat and before we knew it we stopped right in front of DCI Headquarters. I got my bag and hopped out. He walked up to the elevator with us and said. 

"This is as far as I'll take you. Glitch knows the rest of the way. You guys catch up on some Z's okay?" 

"Yeah sure thing. Thanks man." Him and Glitch slapped hands. 

"Thanks so much Rasa. It really means a lot to me." 

"And your talent is all we need. Anytime kid. " He taps my shoulder with his hand and smiles at me which makes me feel more comfortable as the elevator doors close. I lean against the back wall until we reach the top. Glitch drags me to his room as I set my bag down and collapse onto the bed. Glitch lands right next to me. 

"Thanks Glitch." I snuggle up to him. 

"Anytime Minty. Anytime." He kisses my forehead as I drift off into sleep.
