Run...

Chapter 1

I kept running.. The last 2 voices I heard were Chresanto and Abby's they whispered, "Come home.. please! Texas isn't where you belong.. come back to Cali.. We love you.."

I broke down crying.. I fell to the ground, hard. I could hear David and Daniel in the distance... I took my completely broken glasses off and put them in the pocket of my pants as I got up and continued my run.. I felt as if I had ran miles... I reached in my back pocket and turned my phone on.

Since I was deep into the woods and far away from them I slowed down to a jog... My phone turned on and I turned on my Navigation... My signal was one bar, so it took awhile.. Then it said I was in Dallas ,Texas...

I couldn't believe it... I didn't wanna believe it.. but it was true... I've been to Dallas before.. when I was 12 I spent the summer with my uncle... hopefully I can find some help...

As I jogged, I caught sight of a trail... so I took it...I ran into the trees and through bushes... I ended up in the back of a park.. Thank God.. I took my phone out as I got a stronger signal.. I could call anyone.. but who to call??

Daniel Pov-

"How could you let her get away?!", I screamed to David as we exited the woods and hoped in the truck..

He started it up and turned around heading towards Dallas.. we have a 1 hour and 30 min drive on our hands.. Damn it!

"I didn't know she was stupid enough to jump out of a moving truck!", he yelled back.

"Nigga! The jig is up!! She's probably inside the city with Thousands of people that will help her by now!! She runs fast as hell... she was on the track team when we went to school together.", I said.

"Why did you want me to kidnap her anyway?", David asked.

"I guess it's time I tell this story.. I have been in love with Armani since 5th grade... she only saw me as a friend... in 6th and 7th grade.. all the other girls had started developing breast.. Armani had not.. so they picked on her... At the beginning of 8th grade she came to school full chested... she had developed over the previous summer..

Other girls from 7th grade now wanted to be friends with her because of the new attention she received... she rejected all they asses... One new girl moved to town.. Abby... since then they were best friends... I was left in the dust.. in 9th grade we all went to high school.. Then Chresanto moved to town... they instantly liked each other.. I still had feelings for her... the day I finally got enough courage to tell her how I felt.. I never got the chance... she was against the lockers at lunch making out with him.. they've been an off and on couple since then... I dropped outta school, and went into a deep depression...until I came up with the plan to take her from everyone who interfered with our lives.", I explained to him.

He sat there utterly shocked... "Damn, nigga you crazy as ape shit! I like it...", he said.

I laughed at his remark... I just hope she hasn't gone to the police yet.......

Armani Pov-

I've walked for 30 min now... I finally found my uncle's street.. he lives on the end.. my heartbeat got faster, my adrenalin pumped harder.. I started to cry tears of joy and relief as I ran towards his home...

"Run, Run, Armani!!... Hurry!... or they'll find you..", whispered my mothers voice in my head..

I kept running.. putting more and more pressure on my broken ankle.. I may never be able to run track again.. but right now.. I could care less...

My auntie's car is parked out front...So I slowed down and walked up her front steps.. and took a deep breathe and rang the door bell.. I heard laughs and rumbling.. so I assumed someone is coming to the door.. Then my Teetee Angie came to the door... she stood there shocked..

"Jason get down here!!!", she yelled as she embraced me and pulled me inside the house.

My uncle came down the stairs.. his eyes widen.. he embraced me as well.. they sat next to me on their couch...And ambushed me with questions.

"What happened? How'd you find us? Where were you? Who took you?" they asked..

Instead of answering I gave them my tape recorder... it told my story...

"Let me call your mom..", said my uncle while grabbing the phone..

"No!", I protested,"I wanna surprise her."

"I can get you on a plane in the morning to California," they said.

"Thank you!", I said while hugging them both..

My uncle walked me to the guest room.. he gave me some of my cousin's clothes.. I hopped in the shower that is inside the room.. I showered for 15 min then got out.. My aunt is a nurse.. she came in and gave me an ankle brace to wear.. My uncle came in as she stitching my wounds on my leg and attaching my brace..

"I have your plane ticket.. you are schedule to take flight at 8 o'clock.. you should be home by 11:30... your brother is picking you up.. your mom doesn't know.", he said.

"Thank you both..", I said.

They kissed my forehead and left the room.. I just laid under the covers.. finally safe.. I took the battery out of my phone.. so Daniel can't track my number.. I'm going home and he can't do shit about it...........

I woke up at 6:30 am and since I had no bags.. I just had on a white v-neck tee, blue sweatpants, and white converse, my cousin's clothes are comfortable.. we piled into my uncle's mustang as we sped to The DFW Airport in Fort Worth, Texas.. not far.. once you're through Arlington.. you're close...

We got there at 7:00 am.. They walked me through all the check points and we hugged and said goodbye at the flight door..

"Wait!",screamed a familiar voice..

I looked up.. it was Daniel far down in the check points.. I freaked and gave the lady my ticket and ran inside the plane by 7:50 am... I took my seat and strapped myself in... I prayed that.. Daniel would not be on this flight... I prayed that it wouldn't crash.. The doors closed at 8:00 am and we started down the runway... Then my ears popped as we took off.. soon we were in the sky and my ears stopped popping.

"Today we have a 3 hour flight to Los Angeles, California we will pull up at 11:00.. Our in Flight movie selection is Scary Movie 2, Haunted House, or Just Go With It.. Enjoy your flight..", said the flight attendant over the intercom. I pulled down the TV and pressed play on Scary Movie 2, I need some fun in my life..

As it loaded I put the Headphones on and got a pack of complementary fruit snacks... The movie started...

.........................

The movie finished so I removed my Headphones..

"We have now landed..  please get ready to unboard the plane.. I hope you enjoyed the flight, thank you for choosing U.S Airlines,"said the flight attendant over the intercom again..

When the Doors opened I was first of and followed the hallway.. exited.. and started looking for my brother Trey... We locked eyes..

"TREY!!"

"ARMANI!!"

We ran into each others arms and cried... He helped me outside the Airport and to his car.. he was parked by the LAX sign... we got in and he drove off...

"Tell me Everything! The police are at the house now, still investigating.. they don't know you're here," he said.

I told him everything.. by the time I was done he wanted to kill Daniel.

"You didn't have to get me a gift for my birthday.. You don't know how much it hurt to find out someone took my only sister..," he said.

"Technically I hadn't bought it yet," I said.

We both laughed.. "Good," he said.

We pulled up in front of my house.. I instantly got goosebumbs..........

Sorry for any errors.. its a Cliffhanger!!
