Chapter 22

"Sweetie what are you doing home?"

"The school will call you soon enough. I'm changing and going out." I stomp up the stairs and go straight to my closet. Let’s see duffel bag and clothes to last me the weekend. Alright now where do I want to escape to, how about I go to the lake house? No I need someone with me there so I won't get bored. Screw it I'll find a place to stay.

"Bye" I yell before leaving, they are going to be pissed at me when they find out...

I decided to go stay at the rental house right outside Dallas. I didn't want to go too far away. My parents haven't called so I guess they haven't been called or they have and are waiting till I get home. What a day Adam isn't coming for Christmas, I have a jackass teacher, suspended from school because of the jackass and I broke up with my boyfriend. Now I can count on being grounded for the rest of my life so my life is just peachy. My phone vibrates in the cup holder and there are my parents calling. I answer using my car's Bluetooth.

"Where the fuck are you?"

"Why do you care?" I pull up outside the seafood restaurant and turn the car off.

"Don't be like that, where are you?"

"Out"

"I figured...but where?"

"Like I said why do you care?"

"Lets see I care about you and no one can find you" calm down Jesus I'm not dead.

"At a restaurant"

"Where"

"On a street"

"April!!! For goodness sakes stop being short" I sigh and walk in.

"Table for one please" I sit down and order my tea then resume my conversation.

"I don't have to justify where I am to anyone. Have any of you stopped and thought maybe I don't want to be found?" He growls. Seriously I don't want to be found that's why I left, the waiter comes and I order my salad. He doesn't speak and neither do I...

When the waiter brings back my receipt we still haven't spoken.

"Can I call you some time?" I blush.

"No you can not!! She's taken. Tell him you’re taken!!" I close my phone and write down my number.

"Here" with that I leave and go back to the house. My phone buzzes next to me and I have no choice but to answer otherwise I will never sleep.

"I'm going to ask this one more time. Where are you?"

"Outside Dallas"

"I'm coming and dragging your ass home"

"You don't even know where exactly I am"

"I will find you" with that he hangs up. I groan and put my earphones in deciding to listen to piano solos so that I can hopefully sleep through the night...
