The Runaway

Chapter 7

Chris's POV: 

Hey y'all I'm Chris. I'm a mocha color. I have blue eyes(I'm mixed with white and black) In been on this earth 16 years. I'm Khalil's height. Oh and I'm a bit..bigger. No obese. I would say fluffy. 

I got up from my bed to wake Khalil and Zoey up for school. "Hey y'all it's tim..." I stopped myself. What's the point of waking them up? They've been up all night and across town. I went in bed and rested. I was tired as ever. Oh and by the way I don't attend school..don't ask. I just don't.

Zoey...

I woke up facing Khalil. I didn't bother to wake him up because he was sleeping so nicely. I got of Khalil's arms as gentle as I could.  I went walked into the kitchen, I'm hungry as ever. I grabbed a fruit salad and some water. This dude didn't have no food other than fruits and veggies. I sat at the counter,eating my salad and drinking my water.  

I went back into the room to get some clean clothes to wear. Grabbing one of Khalil's shirts and his boxers. Walking into the bathroom. Turning on the shower head. Stripping out of my old clothes. Looking at myself in the mirror was so sad. Seeing all the marks Jae and the people at school put on me. Scars from all the my dad's exes. I felt tears run down my face as I walk to the shower. I really missed him. I know we had our problems. But he was there for me and protected me. 

I got out and dried of my body. I wiped my tears away while massaging the lotion into my body. Putting on my clothes. I felt okay. I just hope the day gets better. I walked to the room with Khalil still laying down. I got on the phone and played some games. Waiting for my boo to wake up.

Khalil...

I was cold as ever. I opened my eyes and didn't see Zo laying next to me. Dang it. She was my warmth. I turned to my other side. Seeing Zo playing on her phone. "Good Morning Zoey" I said. She looked scared as hell. "Oh my god don't scare me like that." she semi-yelled. I laughed so hard. She looked mad as hell when I laughed at her. I felt her punch her in the shoulder. "haha that didn't hurt." she punched me harder. It still didn't hurt. "I'm invincible" "oh you're invincible?" "yup" She got on top of me and started tickling me. My one weakness. I started laughing uncontrollable. "Oh my god stop" "Never" I felt tears form" please" "Okay." she got off of me and went back on the floor. I realized she was wearing my clothes but who cares because she's so adorable in all my things on. I got up from the bed,stretching. I checked my phone. It was 9am. Oh shit. "Zoey do you know what time it is?!" "Oh yeah. School..Do we have to go?" She said. I looked into her eyes. I forgot what she recently gone through. Her father's death then the loss of her home. I walked to her and hugged her. She cried as I held her in my arm. I know how she feels..my parent died in a horrible house fire. I was at school when it happened. I found out through Zoey's parents. I was only 10 years old! I tried to hold my tears in for Zoey. But they just steamed down. Both of parents are gone. "

After I was done crying I said "We don't have to go to school if you don't want to,as long you want" she looked at me and a smile. "Thank you boo" "Your'e welcome boo" I let her go. I put on a red and black button up,khaki Capris, long socks,and nike slippers. I was looking good. Until I looked in the mirror. Dang. I need to fix this hair. "Hey Zoey can you do my hair?" She lit up like a star. "Yes" She digged into her bag. "I recommend that you change your shirt or take it off because it will get pretty messy." I took off my button up and sat down between her legs. That's so weird after you think about it but its's nothing nasty. She sprayed it with water then combed it then put these things in it. She started braiding my hair. "Khalil?" "Yeah" "How are we gotta survive?" "I'm going to get a job.""Okay" The conversion ended like that. She started braiding the other side of my head. I scrolled through my phone,trying to find something to do.  

I started putting back on my button up shirt. I looked good. "Thanks again Zo" "You're welcome"While she put her hair products away. I went into the kitchen and grabbed the closest thing to food I would say. Then went to the living room and watched some tv while I waited for my to get up.

Zoey POV

I looked in my bag for some decent clothes. I found a red tee,leggings,and a black cargo. This should be good enough to go anywhere in. I threw it on. Putting my hair in baby buns and a special necklace on. It was special because before my mom passed of a car crash, she gave me this pretty gold necklace with a diamond jewel. It was hers when she was kid since she was born in April. Just reminiscing. She was beautiful. Curly hair. Short like I. Kind. Unique in her own way. I miss her so much. I lost her about 6 years ago. I went to sit next to Khalil and watch whatever he was watching.
