The Help (MB)

Chapter 34

*Penny*

The next morning,we all checked out and went to get our phones. When we walked in,the lady at the counter stared us down,looking at us weird. Chres walked up to the counter and cleared his throat. "Can I get 9 phones without a contract?" He asked. The lady raised her eyebrows. "You have to have a parent or legal guar-"

"We're both eighteen,just please hurry and get us the phones." Kenya butted in. The lady stood there a few more seconds. "What kind of phones?"

"Cheapest ones you have" Chres said. She nodded and went to the back. About 5 minutes later,she walked back out with the boxes in her hands. They were flip-phones,but we really didnt care about the brand or anything. Kenya and Chres did all the adult work while we sat down and had a small conversation.

"What are we doing today?" I asked. "Well,first of all,we have to get you guys some clothes,then maybe we'll go get a house somewhere,after we call Dad." Diggy said.

"Ugh. I hate busy days." I said.

"And I hate having to run from rapists." He retorted. I squinted my eyes at him. "Don't make me cut you." He held up his hands in defense.

"Alright,lets go." Kenya said,holding the door open for everyone. We all jumped up and went to the car. We went in Burger King for a quick breakfast. Prince called Mr. Johnson,and we let him know what was going on. "Okay,okay." He said after we told him the story.

"After you get everything you need,go straight to finding somewhere to stay. I'd prefer you to get somewhere in or close to the woods so it will be harder to find you. I'll handle this myself. Stay out of trouble and keep to yourselves. I'll be there when I can." He said,then hung up.

I sat there,eating my hash browns. "That's it?" I asked.

"I guess so...." Craig said.

"So.. We're pretty much on our own. With him being busy and all..." Amaya looked at Diggy.

"Pretty much." He said,looking down.

"Well i'll try and find us a place to live today. We can go when we get what we need and stuff." Kenya said.

"Am I the only one who thinks we're running from nothing?" Peyton said, looking around. "They haven't made a fuss yet, and we haven't been threatened or anything like that. It doesn't even seem as if we're in danger. Maybe they got more girls and forgot about us. I dont know." She looked around,shrugging.

"Thats actually not a bad thought." Kenya agreed.

"I still say we need to hide just in case.." Ray said. "They might be plotting something big. And by now,they know for a fact that you're with us."

"Yea. Better safe than sorry.." Amaya nodded.

After we'd gotten all of our clothes and supplies and groceries, we went online to find a house or apartment.

"I have an idea.." Kenya said.

"We know people from downtown,and there is no way that crazy man knows we're from down there, so how about I call up an old friend and we go stay with them?"

We all got quiet.

"Wouldn't that be putting them in danger too?" Craig said.

"They dont have to know.." I suggested.

"Exactly what I was thinking. I know a guy... So,how about it?" She asked.

"I guess we can try it.." Ray said.

Kenya dialed a number on her phone and walked away to talk to whoever.

"We are seriously going to move into this person's house and not tell them what's going on?" Amaya asked.

"Um,yes. It won't be that bad. I hope." I said.

"I guess..." Peyton said
