The Runaway

Sean

I really with she would've given me sizes. This would've been a lot easier. I was getting her clothes anyways. I don't care why she didn't want me to get her anything. She needs stuff. I just hope I'm getting the right sizes. I noticed she likes the color purple so I got her a lot of purple things. I found a purple pullover hoodie with my emblem on it. I got it for her. I was going to have to tell her eventually.

As I was walking around I came past the jewelry counter. I normally don't look at that stuff but a ring caught my eye. It was a beautiful purple gemstone. When in the light it looked like it had a greenish blue color in it. It was shaped like a heart. It looked perfect. I bought it for Elora. I hoped she would like it. It was almost as beautiful as she is. I bought a few more thing Mark and I needed for videos.

  Before I left I saw the news on the TVs they had in there. It flashed a picture of Elora saying she was still missing. That she had ran away from home and hasn't been seen since that night. Americans they never cease to amaze me. If someone runs away why would you help the person they're running from. How does that make any sense at all? The woman on the new said her father is offering a reward for her return. I wouldn't trade her for all the money in the world. Her father has obviously hurt her in some way. Poor girl has been through a lot just from what I know. I left the store and saw an old girlfriend. I quickly walked to where I had a cab waiting to pick me up.

  "Jack! Hey Jack it's me Ashley! How have you been?" She asked as she touched my forearm.

  "I'm fine. How are you?" I pulled my arm away and continued to put things in the trunk of the cab.

  "I'm fine. I just haven't seen you in awhile and was wondering if you wanted to catch up? Go to dinner and movie like old time." I can't believe her. She cheated and thought I'd take her back. Elora would never cheat.

  "No I can't and don't want to. If I remember correctly you always got both of us drunk off our asses and we'd go home and have sex instead of watching the movie. I've moved on. I thought you had to even before we broke up." I was getting irritated I just wanted to get back to Elora. God this is unhealthy. I hate being away from her.

  "What you have a new whore. Go figure. You know she probably only likes you because you're the famous jacksepticeye." She said smugly.

  "Actually unlike your gold digging ass she doesn't even know about my YouTube channel. She knows me for who I really am. She knows me as Seán not Jack. That's why I love her." Wait did I just say that? Do I love her? I spoke before thinking again. Yea that's it. I mean I know I like Elora a lot but do I love her? I didn't wait for Ashley to respond. I got in the car and gave the driver my address.

  When I got home I carried all the bags on the porch before taking them in. I paid the driver. As I was walking back up I heard shouting.

    "Oh no close the doors hurry! He's going to get you!" I heard Mark yell inside. Oh no did someone find her?! All of a sudden I heard screaming and bolted through the door.

  "What the hell is going on in here?! Did someone find you? Why are you guys laughing?!" I was standing here freaking out and they're laughing!

    "Foxy got me! Scared the shit out of us. That's why we're laughing Seán. I'm playing FNAF." Elora said through breaths. Her and Mark were laughing so hard they were crying.

"Don't do that you two scared me half to death! Wait you're playing Five Nights At Freddy's? Mark you didn't tell her did you!" I was irritated with Mark. I didn't want her to know just yet. My temper just flared.

    "Calm down Seán. She only watch my videos. She promised not to watch any of yours until you want her to." Mark was still laughing. That just made things worse. This wasn't a freaking joke. He could potentially ruin everything.

  "Mark I asked you not to tell her!" I felt myself getting more mad. I didn't realize I had balled up my fists until then.

"Dude it's fine. I didn't show her anything with you in it so what's the problem." Mark was still kinda laughing. I didn't find this freaking funny. I took a step forward because I was going to pull him outside to help me. Also so I could talk to him about this more. I don't think she meant to do it but it felt like she punched me in the gut when she did. When I stepped forward Elora flinched away from me and covered her face like I was going to hurt her.

    "Do you really think I'd hurt you Elora?" God my voice sound like I was going to cry. It hurt me that much to know she thought I would hurt her.

"Yes...no...I don't know...I'm sorry." After that she ran upstairs. It sounded like she locked herself in the bathroom. She was sorry? I obviously scared her. Why is she sorry.

"Do you know why she did that?" I asked Mark.

"I know part of the reason. I think she left some stuff out though." Mark said sadly.

"Help me with this stuff and tell me so I understand ok?"

"I'll let you some of it but the rest she has to tell you herself ." With that we walked outside and Mark helped me understand.
