Hold Me And Dont Let Go

chapter 2

The next thing I knew was I fainted. Everything was black and the only thing I could hear was my heart pounding in my chest.
Cassie finally woke me up from what seemed like hours, and looked at me with complete fear, she had no idea what to do. I started crying uncontrollably just screaming through my tears. I couldn't even contain myself from what I knew. I grabbed onto her while she ran her hands through my light brown hair trying to calm me down.
After what seemed like hours i started to calm myself down. I knew that once the police got here they were gonna take me into a foster home since I didn't have any other family after my dad died, but I wasn't gonna let that happen, I wasn't gonna be put in some home where I knew I didn't matter. I knew I had to leave.
I turned to cassie with tears in my eyes that I was holding in because I knew I needed to do something fast before the police got here.
"Cassie do you know where I can get a fake ID?" I said while staring at the floor.
"Savannah what are you getting at?" She looked at me like I was crazy.
"The police will pick me up and take me away if I stay here. I need to pack my things and leave and ill rent out an apartment somewhere and and and" I said as I started to cry again. "I I just need to get out of here" I said as I stood up with my legs still shaking.
Cassie followed me to my bedroom where I packed only 2 t-shirts, 1 pair of shorts, 2 pairs of pants, and a heavy coat for winter. Along with the clothes I brought two blankets and my tooth and hair brush with two pairs of shoes. One pair is like gym shoes and the other is winter boots for when it gets cold. And of course my phone and charger. And my house key for if I ever needed to go back.
I took my belongings and grabbed cassie,
"We are going to your house" I said as I looked at her, she just nodded in agreement. We both got into her small silver car and drove off in silence. As we were driving I started planning in my head all the things I needed to do. First get a fake ID. Cassie already had her own fake ID that she had gotten back in junior year of high school when she turned 16, so I knew she could get me one. Since her mom worked all day, when we got there we brought my stuff to the basement and started planning on what I needed to do. I just needed to distract myself as long as possible from my mom. Until I could get away.
Cassie sat down next to me on her white carpeted floor while putting an arm around my shoulder,
"You can stay here until you can get a fake ID so we can get you out of the state. But until then we need to change your look" she said while getting up and walking to the bathroom, and bringing out scissors. My hair was down to my hips and I hated the thought of cutting or dying it but right now I had no choice. She sat me on the toilet lid in the bathroom and started cutting until my hair was about neck length. Looking in the mirror, the hair cut didn't look half bad but it wasn't the end of what needed to be done. Since her mom was a hairstylist she had a shit load of hair dye upstairs in her mom's bedroom.
Cassie grabbed my arm and dragged me up to the bedroom,
"Pick a color" she said while grinning.
"Um strawberry blonde" I said while visioning in my head what I would look like with blonde hair since ive never dyed my hair before.
Cassie put the dye in my hair and after hours of rinsing and blowdrying I was a blonde and I kinda liked it.
