The boy that lived upstairs

Running Away

I woke up about half 12 and quickly got changed and did my make up and hair, then I went through to the living room and Liberty and Derek were sitting on the couch. They got up as soon as they seen me. They both had an angry expression on their faces.

I say "Hey" and then they just kept looking at me really angrily and then I said "I'm really really sorry. Me and Jake went back to his because his phone needed to charge and we ended up watching a movie and we both fell asleep", Liberty started shouting at me saying "HOW DARE YOU, COME IN THAT LATE, YOU COULD OF AT LEAST CALLED OR TEXT TO TELL US WHERE YOU WERE. WE WERE WORRIED SICK", then I said " WELL I'M SORRY FOR TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH ONE IF MY FRIENDS. NEXT TIME I'LL ASK YOU IF I'M ALLOWED TO HAVE A NICE TIME AND BE HAPPY". I would have stormed out by now but then Liberty said "WE TOOK YOU IN AND TREATED YOU LIKE OUR OWN AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY US, WELL I'M NOT LETTING THAT HAPPEN, YOU LIVE UNDER MY ROOF NOW AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT THEN LEAVE". I stormed out of the house and sat on the stairs and I started crying so I put my head in my hands. Then Jake came running down the stairs and sat beside me and asked if I was okay. I looked at him and said "No", then told him everything of what had just happened. He hugged me tightly and told me everything was going to be okay and kissed me on the forehead.

We sat there for about 10 minutes and then he asked me if I wanted to run away with him. I looked at him surprised but then I thought about it and then I said "yes". Then he told me to meet him at the park we were at yesterday.

I went inside and straight to my room. I picked up a duffle bag from under my bed and started dumping clothes into it and also some perfumes and all my makeup.

After I had finished packing Jake texted me saying he was at the park and I went to go and reply back but then Liberty came in my room and asked me what I was doing, I said "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm running away and you can't stop me". Before I could walk out the room Liberty grabbed my phone and then said "This is for your own good. I promise, you will thank me one day". I screamed "No, please Liberty don't do this to me". After I got no reply; I just sat on my bed crying.

I woke up and my eyes were sore from crying so much and then there was a knock on my door and I shouted "come in!". It was Derek. He came in and sat on the edge of my bed and asked if I wanted anything to eat, I said "No" and then he said "There's a letter for you". He gave me a small smile then left closing the door behind him.

I opened the letter and it said:

Dear Kady,

I don't know why you didn't show up at the park and I don't think I ever do want to know because my mum found out I was trying to run away and I bet you told her so thanks to you I'm grounded for a month and I don't want to talk to you ever again. I know that we are going to the same school after summer and I know I will probably see you in the flat as well but I don't really wan't to talk to you ever again. I really liked you and you broke my heart , your the first girl to ever break my heart and it sucks because i was also going to ask you to be my girlfriend but i guess that will never happen and i'm not lying when i say i really like you because its true a lot of guys probably like you and they would be lucky to have you. I'm just hurt and i'm not angry i'm just disappointed and hurt that you didn't show up . You really hurt my feelings. I know we haven't known each other for that long but i had a feeling about you, like a gut feeling. My parents always told to follow my gut feeling but I guess they were wrong because your gut feeling can get you hurt. There isn't anything else I can think to write apart from I guess this is goodbye.

From Jake.

I sat there for a moment thinking about what I had just read and then I burst out crying.

I cried for about 10 minutes and then I decided to put some foundation, concealer and my glasses on so it didn't look like I had been crying. I didn't even bother getting changed.

I wen't into the living room and Angelica was sitting on the couch with Ricky watching Despicable Me. I asked Angelica where Liberty and Derek were and she said they had gone to work about half an hour ago. I asked them both if they had, had anything to eat they both said they had and then I asked if they were hungry and they said no. I wasn't hungry so I decided not to eat anything.

I wen't through to my room and decided to go on my Macbook and go on Facebook to see if any of my friends back home had messaged me. I only had one message and it was from my best friend Makayla. She said she was moving like right next to me and would be going to the same school as me and she would arrive tomorrow. I messaged her back saying "OMG really I can't wait to see you again. It feels like forever since I seen you last and text me when you are at your new place and maybe you can come over, if Liberty and Derek let you". She replied back saying "Great can't wait to see you and I will text you ASAP when I'm at my new house and I'll come over to yours if I'm allowed. Bye for now tho see you soon".

I logged off of Facebook and decided to watch Stranger Things on Netflix. It is one of my favourite shows.

After I watched the whole season by accident , Liberty knocked on my door and then came in and asked me what I wanted for dinner but I lied and said that I had had a lot to eat for lunch and gave her a weak smile. Then she came and sat on my bed and asked if I was okay. I lied again and said I was fine and then I told her about Makayla moving here and I asked her if she was allowed to come over tomorrow and Liberty said "Yeah, I suppose". Then she asked me how Jake was and I said "I don't know me and Jake fell out", then before she could ask me how we fell out I told her I was really tired and just wanted to sleep.

After she had left I started to cry again. I know it was stupid but I did really like Jake even tho I hadn't known him for that long. I guess it was like Romeo and Juliet.
