Runaway

Chapter 9

I turn the corner, only to see Trey and another girl halfway naked sucking on each others faces. I was in shock. Trey looks towards me and immediately stops.

"It is not what it seems!" He shouts.

I don't feel like arguing.

"Where is Apollo!" I was going to runaway again.

He scraches the back of his head.

"I..I have no clue".

Tears stream down my face. First I catch Trey with another girl, then my dog goes missing.

"I hope you have fun with her because I'm leaving, and once I find Apollo I'm leaving this state!" I yell before running back to the beach. I put on my shirt.

I stop by the pound but he wasn't in there. Once I exit I see papers stapled to wooden poles and taped to store windows that say. "Missing dog. Goes by the name of Apollo. If found please contact. ***-***-****. REWARD: $500". I rip one paper off and stuff it in my pocket. I wipe the tears from my face. I pull out my wallet. I had a few hundreds in there.

I walk until I find a small hotel I can live in for a bit. I walk in and pay for my apartment. I had room 189. I unlock the door and lay down on the couch. After a while of watching tv I decide to go to bed. I turn of the tv and head to my room. As I lay down I slowly cry myself to sleep.

The next morning felt different. The air was thicker. My vocals were sore. I needed new clothes, I was still in my bathing suit. I drag myself out of bed and leave the apartment locking the door behind me. The first shop in sight was a Target. I walk in and search for new clothes.

I found eight outfights. The annoying bell goes off signaling someone has entered or left the store. Sure enough a Brunette haired boy walks in. His golden brown eyes glisten as he greets one of the workers. Five minutes later as I was having my clothes scanned, the same boy stood next to me in line. I look over at him and he just smiles. I give a quick smile back before buying my clothes and heading outside. The boy follows me.

"Do you need help?" He yells.

"I think I'm good".

Once he finally catches up he ignores me and takes four bags. I stare at him blankly.

"You don't have a car. At least let me walk you home!"

I sigh in defeat. We walk towards the Apartments. I look over at him and study his features. He was very built up. His golden brown eyes were almost like honey. He was very tan.

He notices me checking him out but sends me a toothy grin. He was different from other guys. He didn't gloat about anything and he was so kind.

"I never caught your name." He says interrupting my thought.

"I'm Callie, and you are?"

"Corey".

We walk on silently. After we arrive and set the stuff down Corey walks over to me.

"So can i...um....have your number?"

I raise an eyebrow.

"We just met today ya know".

"But just as friends". Again I give him a weird look. "I'm gay." He suddenly says out of the blue. Figures, your way to kind to be straight and your voice seems pretty high pitch. Plus on the way here, A cockroach started crawling towards him and he fled off screeching. It took me so long to find him.

"I can prove it!" He says scrambling to get his phone out of his pocket.

"See". He hands me the phone with a list of contacts.

"The only girls number I have is my ma's".

He was right. All the rest basically said Ex's. I type in my number and hand it back to him.

His eyes light up. He gives me a small hug before leaving.

I turn on the news. It talked about how a thunderstorm is heading over to this town. My phones screen light up. Without looking at the caller ID I answer.

"Hello?"

"We found Apollo." I cringe as the voice speaks. It was fucking Trey trying to find an exsucse to talk to me after the incident.

"Where shall me and Josh meet". I say.

"We have to talk about what happened"

"There is nothing to talk about."

"Yes there is, let me see you again."

"No! Stay out of my fucking life!" I Scream

"Where will we meet". I repeat through clinched teeth.

"On the side of maple street there's a small Dollar General. We meet there". He ends the call.

I change into some leggings and a pink flurry top. I let my hair flow and I put on my black beanie.

I lock the apartment door. The walk was about ten minutes long. When I reach there, an expensive looking Ferrari was the only car parked in the lot.

I walk over to it. Of course, Trey had to come.

He gets out of the car.

"Callie please I'm Sorry, let me explain what happened".

"Go ahead explain!" I say fight back my tears.

"She was lost and was looking for the bathroom. I went to go take her but she pulled me to the side of the building and started kissing me, when I saw you I pushed her off to explain that this wasn't my fault, I didn't do this."

By now the tears were running down my face. My knees buckle and I fall to the ground crying. Trey runs over and pulls me into his lap as I cry into his shirt.

He gently rubs my back. He stretches out and opens the back door. Apollo jumps out and over to me locking my tear stained face. My sobs turn into slight sniffles.

"Will you come back home?" He asks.

"Of course, but I need to go back to the apartments". He nods and brings me there. I give them back there key and get back in the car.

I decided to Skype Corey.

"WHAT UP BITCH!" He yells.

"Hi Coco"  I nicknamed him.

"MY GOSH YOU GAVE ME A NICKNAME!!" He squels.

"Yep, I wanted to call and tell you I'm moving in with my boyfriend, whom you're going to meet soon". He again squeals.

"You didnt tell me aboi t that."

I just roll my eyes. I flip the camera to where it's pointing at Trey.

"Dammmn can I have him instead". He begs.

"Nope, all mine".

We talked a little more and I hung up as Trey enters the car.

"Who were you talking to?" He asks

"My friend Corey"

"Corey! That's a boys name!"

I laugh.

"Don't worry you're meeting him tomorrow."

"I dont wanna meet him I wanna beat him".

"Haha no. If you hurt him I will snap your neck like a twig".

He touches his neck in belief of what I could do.

I smirk evily. On our way home I was singing Ed Sheeran Thinking out loud. 5 seconds of Summer girls talk boys. I was in the middle of singing when I see you again by Charlie Puth when we pulled up to the house. I unbuckle and swiftly exit the car with Apollo and Trey by my side. I walk up to the front door. I suck in a breath as I open it.
