Chapter Five: Together

_Charlotte_

My hands running through my hair as I walked in circles in my room. Jerome knocking on my door trying to get me to open it. I was mad- REALLY mad. I just made friends with Ella, and now they want us to never see each other again?! Who could be so selfish? I couldn't believe it!

"Charlotte..." Jerome begged from outside, "Please open the door."

"Are you going to let me see Ella again?" I asked.

"No but-"

"Then NO!" I screamed as loudly as I could. He continued to knock, but I ignored him. I felt my back pocket vibrate, and I got a text from.. Ella!

'Ella: Hey! I have a idea. meet me outside 2night kay? it'll be risky tho...

I thought for a minute before texting back.

Charlotte: I love risky!

_Ella_

My bag was hitting my back as I ran on the sidewalk. The roller bag I was dragging kept getting stuck in the cracks. Just getting onto Simon Street, I ran down until I found the big blue house, Charlotte's house. I ran into the backyard and looked at the window that led into her bedroom. I took off my bag and let it lay on the grass as I climbed up to her window. I knocked on it when she noticed me and opened it, letting me in.

"Ella what's your plan?" She whispered, not wanting to wake up her dads.

"Im sick of Adam and Ty controlling me, telling me what to do, treating me like some kind of animal," I explained.

"Me to! Jerome and Mitch always tell me what to do and how to act," Charlotte agreed.

"So," I started as I pulled out a giant WAD of cash from my pocket, "What would you say to a little... trip."

"Where'd you get that?!" Charlotte whisper shouted.

"I stole it from Adam and Ty," I responded, her eyes opened wide.

"Your so stupid!" She said between slapping me.

"Hey! I got us enough money to leave!" I replied with a smile.

"Where?" She asked.

"What's the farthest town in Massachusetts from Methuen?" I asked.

"Um... Onset?" She asked.

"Close. Its Sagamore. Its about 75 miles away, think of it, just you and me, living together in a tree house, giving up on society!" I exclaim-whispered.

"I don't know..." Charlotte said.

"Please Charlotte! Your the only one who understands me, who gets me, please..." I begged.

She sighed, "I do want to have some time alone with a friend... And it would be nice to be my own person... Fine. I'll go," She agreed. I almost screamed with joy as we started packing her bag.

"We'll get around the state on bus with the money I have. And I have two fold-up scooters in my roller bag, to," I explained.

"Perfect. As soon as I pack Ill grab some food from downstairs and take some extra cash from the boys," Charlotte replied.

"Awesome. Just don't get caught."

We finished packing her bags and we ran downstairs. She grabbed some money and I grabbed the food.

"How do you spell Sagamore?" She asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because Im writing a note to Jerome and Mitch to tell them-"

"Are you nuts?" I interrupted, "Do you wanna get caught?"

"Fine," Charlotte said as put the pen down. She grabbed her stuff and we went outside, leaving the front door open. We went back and got my stuff then getting out the scooters. We drove away on them eager and excited. Here we come new life. Just me and Charlotte, Together.

I was asleep. Having a nice dream, until it was interrupted by a freezing blast of cold air. I shuddered and held onto Mitch tighter, pulled the blanket up closer to me. I looked at Mitch, his eyes were closed but he was smiling. He tried to fall asleep, but I guess it didn't work.

"Cold Biggums?" he asked, without opening his eyes.

"Y-Yeah," I answered. He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me.

"God, your freezing!" He said as he opened his eyes and looked at me with worry. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah Im f-fine, just cold," I answered.

"I don't remember it being this cold before we went to bed," Mitch replied.

"Maybe one of the windows opened. I'll go look." I said as I stepped outta bed. I walked out of our room and downstairs, where the front door was completely opened. It was weird, it was locked. That scared me. I shut it then went to Charlotte's room, the door was opened. And she wasn't there.
