Adventures of the Runaways

Chapter 1: Beginings

Hailey's POV
My eyes fluttered awake to the sight of my bedroom walls. My cat Rusty and my dog Claire sleeping soundly beside me. I forced myself out of bed to stretch my sore muscles and to wake up Claire so she doesn't pee in my bed if I leave her in here. After I stretched I picked up my dog and trudged down the stairs mentally preparing for my day.
Then as I walked outside all of my memories came streaming back to me. The fight.
The tears.
The regret.
The split.
The emotion caught me off my feet. I felt like crawling in a hole and being deceased and dragged away from my misery. My boyfriend of eight months just expired. All of the dates. Late night texting. Everything flew out the window after that fight.
There was no more of me staring into his clear sapphire eyes. Or seeing the light catching his natural red highlight. Or putting a smile on his face every time I walked in the room.
Nothing was left.
How could I have forgotten is beyond me but, now that I remember nothing that I thought before about him will never be the same. My memory of him will forever be tinted of sadness.
My dog seemed to snap me out of my thoughts when her paws tapped on the door. I opened it for her and sat on the couch. I'm so glad mom is out of town I thought to myself. It's good she can't see me like this. Right? Or because she's not here I feel more alone then ever in my life.
I shook that thought out of my mind, mainly because my mother and I were never close so, yearning for her affection is not to often. Actually I cant remember the last time she's treated me more then an annoying brat that she happens to be related to. Stop thinking about your mom Hailey. Let's focus on what matters. You're grades are up. Your father is coming in next weekend. And your mother is away for an entire 5 months on an extremely expensive honey moon to your filthy rich stepdad. Enjoy yourself for once. I talked myself out of thinking I needed company and decided to go on a walk to relieve stress.
Rusty came pouncing down the stairs mewing at me to pick him up. I picked him up and stroked his soft and soothing fur coat. He purred in response. I put him down on the couch and got dressed for my run. I came back down stairs dressed and ready to go.
Claire whined to get my attention and ran over to her leash. I chuckled and strapped up her harness and clipped her leash to it. You spoiled brat. I thought to myself.
This is what I need. Some me time. Besides exercise helps. I walked out of my house and began to jog the streets I've known for years in this neighborhood. I kept running and running and my numb heart was beating but, I could barely feel it. Claire was leaping for joy panting with her tongue out to the side of her mouth flapping in the wind. I laughed but as the sound came out my feet stopped suddenly and started crying spontaneously. My heart started to swell with sadness. "How could you do this to me Brian, I loved you so much!" I cried out to no one in particular. I lost control of balance and started sobbing on the ground. My shoulders shook and my face red and wet from the tears streaming out of my eyes. My dog whined in worry and licked me to comfort me. I just started crying louder and harder. Every ounce of me is filled with sadness. Every drop of blood. Every muscle pulsates with sorrow. Every tear that comes out reminds me of memories. I had to get away. I need a fresh start. I thought to myself.
The idea of a do-over intrigued me. Slowly I got up trying not to think about what happened to me.
I wiped my red eyes and slowly got back on my feet. I made sure my mind was blank and began to walk back towards my home. How do I get away? Who would I run to? Not to my dad's. Him and his fiancé would toss me back to my mother. My mother wouldn't understand either. No one will. It's not just Brian. It's...me. I need a blank canvas. My heart tells me so. Not my sadness for Brian. ME!! I forgot I was in there for a while. As I trudged back home my desires grew stronger to run away. The thought of galloping away from here, the town that's been my home for my entire life was just a few trains away. I could do it. Of course I'd need to cover my tracks.
Who would cover my tracks? Zoe! Even if she hates me she'll help me. She's wanted to run for years. She could come with me! I have the perfect plan! It's gonna work. I feel it. I have a week to convince her. I'll have to be persistent. Now let's focus on money. As I worked out the plan to my runaway life my scheming grew to the size of an elephant. The math worked out perfectly. And thanks to my rich stepdad I'll be able to afford it. I'll take the emergency money and take the train off to wherever me and Zoe choose. "Claire!" I exclaimed to my dog. She looked up at me happy to see my spirits have risen. "We're moving away! For once in our lives we'll be free of my mother." She barked in response even though she had no idea what came out of my mouth. This is gong to be great. I'll fly threw this and I'll have a new life before I know it.
If only I knew it's not that easy.
