Never Alone

-2-

I was sick of being pushed around all the time. I know I'm 16 now but I'm sick and tired of life, Grayson moved, Jasmine was shot in a bank robbery, Tim won't talk to me because of a mistake I made
Yea the mistake of sucide I thought. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't make new friends. One person still cared and that was Grayson I opened my computer and bought plane tickets.

There was a girl beside me with earbuds in her ears. She looked like she was only 18 or so. Her hair was a fair brown color and her eyes were a light grey color. She didn't seem very talkative but she did look bored. I had tried talking to her a couple of times but she more or less just blew me off. Only when she saw that I had books in my carry-on did she take interest in me and take out a single earbud.

"Can I look through your books?" She asked, pointing to the bag.

"Sure! I'm Sam by the way." I said

"Amanda." She said.

The rest of the plane ride was pretty quiet as she had picked up a book and was reading it as if she'd never read anything like it. When we were getting ready to get off the plane she asked to keep the book so she could finish it. I told her she could since I had read it a million times before. I was getting in a taxi and heading to my hotel before I noticed something was off. I searched through my bag to see if I was missing anything and sure enough, I was. Amanda had stolen my wallet. 'Shit! That arse!' I thought. How was I going to pay for the cab now?! HOW WAS I GOING TO PAY FOR MY ROOM?! I just groaned and leaned back against the seat. When we got to my hotel I tried to explain to the cabbie what happened but before more than 'I have no money...' could get out of my mouth he threw me out onto the curb, and then threw my bags next to me. I landed with a loud *Oof!* and my bag landed beside me with a *Crunch!* I knew something had been broken. I just groaned again and fell back onto the pavement. I laid my right arm over my eyes and held onto my bag with my left.

"Sam? Is that you?" Someone said.

I lifted my arm and gazed around until I saw the speaker. It was Grayson

We walked inside and I made popcorn I had explained to Grayson some girl stole my wallet.

"So how did you lose all your money again" he asked as I walked in.

"I uh....I let a girl go through the books in my bag...and I guess she stole it." I said with slight embarrassment.

I laughed a little at the blush that had appeared on his face. I sat down again and tried to concentrate on the TV, but I couldn't. My eyes continued to wander over to the man next to me. I sighed and leaned back into the couch more, closing my eyes. This was going to be a very long adventure.

"SAM I MADE COOKIES! THEY'RE YOUR FAVORITE" Grayson called

I ran into the room and I slid on the wooden floor, I put my hands on my hips and scoffed acting like a diva. I took a step forward and I fell flat on my arse. Grayson stood there laughing while I sat there dumbfounded.
I got up and took like 10 cookies and ran back in the living room, then I bundled myself into a cocoon, eating cookies feeling warm.

"Comfy Sammy" Grayson asked

"YAS" I yelled with a cookie in my mouth

"You're goofy" he said

"And you're stupid" I said laughing

I jumped up and hugged him pulling him down, Soon enough the embrace ended we ate the cookies and looked back up at Grayson.

"Uh you ok" he asked

"Yea I just need to go home soon" i said

"Ok" he said
